You'll get the same kind of problem trying to put that kind of information into *any* string column. The problem isn't MySQL. You're not constructing the statement properly. Any MySQL API should have some kind of method for escaping data values like you're working with so that you can insert them into the query string. For DBI, you use quote() or placeholders. For PHP, you use addslashes(). For JDBC or Python DB-API, you use placeholders.
