While the ruby to do that is trivial, i feel its more important that i point out you should _never_ construct a SQL statement like this - it's a classic security hole. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection or just google sql injection. Whatever tool you're using to interface with your database, it will certainly have a safe way to pass parameters into a sql statement. Please look that up - it will make the world safer and bypass your original problem to boot :) Cheers, lasitha
