I'm trying to update some data on the SQL server that runs my website.

I need to update some character based fields (names)....but it just won't accept this command:

UPDATE tblRetailer SET name='Kroger', WHERE RetailerID=255;

This is the error I get:
*****************************************
Error

SQL query:

UPDATE tblRetailer SET name = 'Kroger',
WHERE RetailerID =255

MySQL said: Documentation
#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 'WHERE RetailerID=255' at line 1
*****************************************

Anyone know what's wrong with this?

Try posting over at a MySQL forum. This is a MSSQL forum
