The error comes up when you have something like this
INSERT into cfull2.tbl_dl_customers (CUSTID_NUM, SHORT_NAME)
VALUES("$Max_ID", "$SHORT_NAME")
and $SHORT_NAME is empty so the SQL looks like this
INSERT into cfull2.tbl_dl_customers (CUSTID_NUM, SHORT_NAME) VALUES("20002",
"") //doesn't work
If I use the single quote or apostrophe, it works fine....
INSERT into cfull2.tbl_dl_customers (CUSTID_NUM, SHORT_NAME) VALUES('20002',
'') //works fine
