Hi!

I'm a total newbie to both JDBC and InstantDB. 

I have problems inserting data into a table.  The data causing
problems seems to be parentheses.  How do I get around that? 

Thanks,

Here's what I'm trying to run with ScriptTool: 

; First load the JDBC driver and open a database.
d org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver;
o jdbc:idb=properties.txt;

; Record all results

; Create the table and its index
e DROP TABLE lextable;
e CREATE TABLE lextable (
	eui		CHAR(8) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
	entrydate       CHAR(6),
	base		VARCHAR (80),
	lexrecord       VARCHAR (500));
e CREATE INDEX baseindex ON lextable ( base );
p INSERT INTO lextable VALUES (?,?,?,?);
; put  data in the table
s E0419100, 082400, SSP, {base=SSP 
entry=E0419100
        cat=noun
        variants=inv
};
s E0021903, 082400, derivation, {base=derivation
entry=E0021903
        cat=noun
        variants=reg
        variants=uncount
	compl=(np,of)
};
s E0005931, 082400, United States Centers for Disease Control, {base=United States Centers for Disease Control
entry=E0005931
        cat=noun
        variants=uncount
};

q SELECT * FROM lextable;

c close;


--------------------------
and here's the error I get:
