MySQL Error Message

Question

Just learned the basics of dynamic content within the last
week through resources here at Adobe and really dont know where to
start looking to fix this error so I came here.
The error keeps coming up when I try to edit a table's query.
SQL query:
A
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 'A' at line 1
But the thing is when I edit on my local wamp server it edits
just fine and saves. So I've pretty much narrowed it down to
something that has to do with my user/password on my isp server.
I'm just a beginner and this question has probably been asked
before, so go easy on me.

No, it's not a very unique problem. It's almost certainly a
question of
incorrectly escaped quotes or special characters. The server
behaviors
in Dreamweaver handle all of this correctly for you. If
you're
hand-coding, you need to remove any magic quotes and filter
your data
through mysql_real_escape_string(). More details here:
