putting binary data into a mySQL database

[John Dixon]

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here ? I am not able to insert data into the table 'thenamer'..
When the script runs nothing is returned in whathappened, 

the table name is thenamer
the fields in the table are idNo, thename, thechat

I know that the .lc script works without trying to insert anything into the database, as I can get it to return to me the contents of the variable thestuff as shown in the second .lc script below

Any help, pointers, whisky glady accepted... as I'm losing hair...:-)

<?lc
put $_GET["A"] into tAction
    
   get revOpenDatabase("mysql", "localhost", "xxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxx", "xxxxxxx")
   put it into theDataRef
   
 if tAction = "request" then    
   put $_GET["boodata"] into thestuff
   
   put "thenamer" into tTableName
   put "thename, thechat" into tFields
   put "John" into thename
   put thestuff into thechat
   
   put "INSERT INTO" & tTableName & "(" & tFields & ") VALUES(:1,:2)" into tSQL
   revExecuteSQL theDataRef, tSQL, "thename","theChat"
   put the result into whathappened
   
   put whathappened
   revCloseDataBase theDataRef    

   quit    
  end if    
?>    

The .lc script behaves when not trying to insert data into the database...

<?lc
put $_GET["A"] into tAction
    
   get revOpenDatabase("mysql", "localhost", "xxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxx")
   put it into theDataRef
   
 if tAction = "request" then    
   put $_GET["boodata"] into thestuff
   
   
   
   put thestuff    
   revCloseDataBase theDataRef    

   quit    
  end if    
?>
