Question

I am trying to do a basic mysql update but using AES_ENCRYPT – can anyone explain why i’m getting an error message? Below is the query :-

UPDATE MailList 
SET Email = AES_ENCRYPT( [e-mail], 'jkfdsfsaKJjdsf' ) 
WHERE ID =  '138142'

I get 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 '@hotmail.co.uk,'jkaKJjkH87') WHERE MailListID = '138142'' at line 1 

Answer 1

UPDATE MailList 
SET Email = AES_ENCRYPT( '[e-mail]', 'jkfdsfsaKJjdsf' ) 
WHERE ID =  '138142'
