Question

If I try this statement:

INSERT INTO TerminalEventChild (id,stringValue) VALUES 
(64,'version123|');

MySQL fail with :

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 ''version123' at line 1
SQLState:  42000
ErrorCode: 1064

If I remove the | character, everything works fine. Any idea?

On my machine, this works fine:

CREATE TABLE TerminalEventChild (id INT, stringValue VARCHAR(200));

INSERT INTO TerminalEventChild (id,stringValue) VALUES
(64,'version123|');

Probably, your client treats the pipe character specially.

What client do you use?
