Elegant ideas someone?

In the function below (intended to be used with Nenad's MySQL driver) the newvalue & keyvalue may need to be framed by single quotes depending on the datatype one passes in. As newbie, I have found a rather dumb and lengthy solution that works. What I am after is an elegant, REBOL-esque way of achieving this? Any takers? Kai update-one-record: func[ "Returns False on error or affected row count on success" tablename [string!] fieldname [string!] newvalue [ block ] keyfieldname [string!] keyvalue [block!]] [ conn-error: try [ mysqlport: open omysql-url insert mysqlport [ { update ? set ? = ? where ? = ? } tablename fieldname newvalue keyfieldname keyvalue ] affected-rows: mysqlport/locals/matched-rows close mysqlport false ; no error if we get here! ] either error? conn-error [ conn-error: disarm conn-error stat-upd sbar reform [ "MySQL-Connection error: " conn-error/arg1 ] false ] [ affected-rows ] ]

Thanks Tom ~ just discovered that I don't need this in this case as the driver is already smart enough but it'll go into my newbie problem solving collection. Just realized that by passing the entire query string as parameter (instead of having part of it hardwired and passing a zillion parameters) things get easier, too ... Thanks again, Kai
