I use SQuirreL SQL client Version 3.5.3
I wanted to do an insert of a text with accent like éèà but I get a syntax error. The follow select statement doesn't work:
select 'élève';
The error is the following:
Error: Syntax error or access violation, message from server: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''élèv' at line 1"
when I delete the é and è it works.
Does someone know how I can solve that accent problem ?
I just tried in my version of squirrel:
select 'élève' from dual;
Its on oracle. It worked without error. You probably need to make sure your connection is set up to handle unicode and that the underlying database supports that character set. Is that syntax even valid for your database? (I had to add "from dual" in order for it to become valid SQL).

I need to run this query but I get an error:
UPDATE wp_usermeta
SET meta_value = "a:1:{s:16:\"client_special\";b:1;}"
WHERE user_id = "1009";
But I get this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that
corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
near 'UPDATE wp_usermeta
SET meta_value = "a:1:{s:16:\"cliente_especial\";b:1;}" W' at line 1
It is ok for me, I escaped the " with \ character.
As you discovered, and as my comment alluded, non-printing or hidden characters in your SQL statement can lead to unexpected syntax errors.
When confronted with what appears to be ludicrous messages, I find carefully retyping the statement into a different program helps decide whether it is a hidden character issue or a legitimate syntax issue.
It is the act of careful retyping that sanitizes the statement and rules out the non-printing characters. More than once I've done this and I imagine I will continue to do this for the rest of my career!
select b1.blog_id, blog_name, blog_desc, b1.blog_date, blog_author, blog_img, ifnull(count(blog_cmt),0) AS blog_cmt
from blog b1, user_blog b2"
I got a error in this:
Error Code: 1064. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"' at line 1
Error #1064 means that MySQL can't understand your command. To fix it:
Read the error message. It tells you exactly where in your command
MySQL got confused.
Check the manual. By comparing against what MySQL
expected at that point, the problem is often obvious.
Check for reserved words. If the error occurred on an object identifier, check
that it isn't a reserved word (and, if it is, ensure that it's
properly quoted).
You need to remove the quotes at the end and run your query. Looks like there is a typo, you intended a ; instead.
select b1.blog_id, blog_name, blog_desc, b1.blog_date, blog_author, blog_img, ifnull(count(blog_cmt),0) AS blog_cmt
from blog b1, user_blog b2;
I'm trying to move database from one server to another, both using different MySQL and phpMyAdmin versions. Everything goes successful but on some pages there is an error saying:
SQL/DB Error -- [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'range, p.name, p.description, p.height, p.width, p.depth, p.active, pc.product_c' at line 1]
I cannot find anything that would be wrong in the SQL file. This is the link with the error (as you can see, overall it works and reads, some pages have errors).

My question is: Is there a way to export SQL from this older database so it will be working? It's fully working on the previous website so I'm assuming these are compatibility issues.
From the error that you are getting
right syntax to use near range, p.name, p.description
range is a reserved keyword http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqld-version-reference/en/mysqld-version-reference-reservedwords-5-5.html
So within the query you need to use backtick for that column name
`range`
I am using a portal system on my website and modified the ASP code heavily.
Since the website is growing, I want to migrate from MS Acces to MySQL.
Now, I think the portal I'm using (and some code I inputted) aren't MySQL compatable, because when I switch to the MySQL database, I get the following error.
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.1.55-community]You have an error in
your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL
server version for the right syntax to use near '[EzModuleID],
[ModName] From EzCore_Plugin Where IsModActive='1'' at line 1
[website]\WWWROOT\BOXX\INCLUDES../../includes/include.asp, line 3736
The SQL string regarding this line is the following:
Select [EzModuleID], [ModName] From EzCore_Plugin Where [IsModActive] = 1;
Im new to MySQL and I can't find why this is giving an error.
I've tried the quote's around 1, removing [], removing the space..
I think that when I figure out why this is causing an error, I can continue modifying the rest to make the website work on mysql.
Lose the square brackets
(I might as well post this as the answer rather than a comment)
In MySQL column and table names can be escaped with the backtick character ` or if the ANSI SQL mode is enabled with double quotes ".
Your WHERE clause (according to the error message) is Where IsModActive='1'. This works if IsModActive is a text column. If it is numeric, drop the single quotes. If IsModActive is a Boolean, change the clause to Where IsModActive IS true.

I'm trying to search and replace in MYSQL but get an error. I'm quessing it's because of the "http://"
Anyone got any suggestions when trying replace this type of thing?
Code entered:
update movies_news set select_page = replace(select_page, ‘http://movie’, ‘http://www.movie’);
But it throws the following error:
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '://movie’, ‘http://www.movie’)' at line 1
Posting so it can be accepted:
update movies_news set select_page = replace(select_page, ‘http://movie’, ‘http://www.movie’);
contains smart quotes, which are not interpreted as normal single quotes, thus the syntax error. It should instead be
update movies_news set select_page = replace(select_page, 'http://movie', 'http://www.movie');
In general, be really careful about copying code to and from 'smart' text editors (Microsoft Word, etc)
