I really had a hard time fixing my problem inserting the data and connecting it directly on the database. Good thing you provide a good solution for these. @Charlie, looks like we figured out everything. I applied those steps and works better now. Thanks Charlie.

I realise now that you cannot just go ahead and click the EDIT button and insert a user as is written above. For anyone who is as dumb as me and has not realised the deliberate mistake ( in the Create A User section ) – it is that you need to create an INSERT statement – you cannot just expect to click the EDIT button (with the SELECT statement still active) / double click on the “lastname” etc and expect it to work. You must first create your INSERT statement. I did not realise this until I used the cheat option of downloading the finished script from the last paragraph in the above tutorial – after having a look at the last 2 lines of it I realised my mistake.
There appears to be one or two more deliberate errors. My Query browser ( version 1.2.17 ) would not execute the sript in that download until I had removed the 1st couple of lines and recreated my own blank in_out db. Then, on the first line, I replaced the hyphen in “in-out” with the underscore ( in_out ). Then it all came together beautifully. Deliberate mistakes or slightly out dated tutorial or a bit of both? I don’t know but I am grateful and hope that this info may be useful to anyone as green as me who is trying to get to grips with this stuff.

I am using MySQL 5.1.37. I am using recent version of Query browser but not the latest one with the changed name. Like most people I am finding this tutorial very VERY helpful. However I do have a couple of problems which I am hoping to resolve if anyone reading this would be kind enough to post a message.

When executing exactly the same information that Mike enters I am unable to execute TRUE or FALSE or any of the numbers such as phone or a numbered password.

NUMBERED PASSWORD and TELEPHONE NUMBER give me 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 ’12345, `user_id` FROM in_out.`user` u’ at line 1 – ERROR NUMBER 1064″
BUT – I can execute letters for the password and the phone number.

TRUE and FALSE wont execute and give me the following 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 ‘TRUE, `user_id` FROM in_out.`user` u’ at line 1 – ERROR NUMBER 1064″
BUT I tried YES and NO instead and they would execute.

Lastly at no point does the APPLY CHANGES button light up – it remains greyed out.

I would be ever so grateful if anyone can help me over these stumbling blocks.

@prasath : turn the image into base64 encoding than save to mysql as binary or varbinary type.
to turn back the original image: convert base64 with base64 decoder.
