[geeklog-users] An SQL error has occured

[Tony Bibbs]

Drago, yes, I realize that.  Please note that this *isn't* a geeklog 
problem, it is a problem with the journal plugin that I wrote.  It's up 
to each individual plugin to handle their DB interaction.  When I get 
around to it I'll make the fix, I just wanted to provide you the short 
term fix to your problem.
