Hi,

this doesn't sound like a MySQL problem to me. I guess it's a topic related to your programming language, like you have to escape the "\" by a double one, "\\".

Providing more information could definitely help. Are you using Perl or PHP? Please post at least that part of your code that's relevant to this problem.

Regards, Bernd

Use addslashes() if you are using PHP to insert the data in DB.
