I attempted to run this query and received 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 '‘)' at line 1 Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Hi Adam,

Thanks for the reply. I attempted to run this query and received 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 '‘)' at line 1

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

You just need to plug in the table name that has the problems and the field you want to fix. This query can be run in phpMyAdmin, just select your database and run the query.

I recently upgraded my MySQL 4 database to a MySQL 5 database in order to upgrade to the latest version of Wordpress (2.9) and encountered this exact problem. I have been looking for a solution for quite some time now, and I think your post might be it. Can you explain in a little more detail exactly what your query does? Also, since I am a complete newbie when it comes to understanding MySQL databases, could you perhaps do a step-by-step, or offer a little more handholding, on how to run the above query? I know I don't have SSH access to my account, but I have phpMyAdmin both from within my hosting package and within Wordpress. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Adam, thanks for this post.
