    Here is an example from QA - it's from a beginner (Oh Gawd, I hope he's a beginner and this isn't in production code)

    cmd.CommandText = " UPDATE ALLUGTAMIL SET name='" & TextBox2.Text & "',dob='" & TextBox3.Text & "',depart='" & TextBox4.Text & "',p1='" & TextBox5.Text & "',p2='" & TextBox6.Text & "',p3='" & TextBox7.Text & "',p4='" & TextBox8.Text & "',p5='" & TextBox9.Text & "',p6='" & TextBox10.Text & "',p7='" & TextBox11.Text & "',p8='" & TextBox12.Text & "',p9='" & TextBox13.Text & "',p10='" & TextBox14.Text & "',p11='" & TextBox15.Text & "',p12='" & TextBox16.Text & "',p13='" & TextBox17.Text & "',p14='" & TextBox18.Text & "',p15='" & TextBox19.Text & "',p16='" & TextBox20.Text & "',p17='" & TextBox21.Text & "',im1='" & TextBox22.Text & "',ex1='" & TextBox23.Text & "',tot1='" & TextBox24.Text & "',res1='" & TextBox25.Text & "',im2='" & TextBox26.Text & "',em2='" & TextBox27.Text & "',tot2='" & TextBox28.Text & "',res2='" & TextBox29.Text & "',im3='" & TextBox30.Text & "',em3='" & TextBox31.Text & "',tot3='" & TextBox32.Text & "',res3='" & TextBox33.Text & "',im4='" & TextBox34.Text & "',em4='" & TextBox35.Text & "',tot4='" & TextBox36.Text & "',res4='" & TextBox37.Text & "',im5='" & TextBox38.Text & "',em5='" & TextBox39.Text & "',tot5='" & TextBox40.Text & "',res5='" & TextBox41.Text & "',im6='" & TextBox42.Text & "',em6='" & TextBox43.Text & "',tot6='" & TextBox44.Text & "',res6='" & TextBox45.Text & "',im7='" & TextBox46.Text & "',em7='" & TextBox47.Text & "',tot7='" & TextBox48.Text & "',res7='" & TextBox49.Text & "',im8='" & TextBox50.Text & "',em8='" & TextBox51.Text & "',tot8='" & TextBox52.Text & "',res8='" & TextBox53.Text & "',im9='" & TextBox54.Text & "',em9='" & TextBox55.Text & "',tot9='" & TextBox56.Text & "',res9='" & TextBox57.Text & "',im10='" & TextBox58.Text & "',em10='" & TextBox59.Text & "',tot10='" & TextBox60.Text & "',res10='" & TextBox61.Text & "',im11='" & TextBox62.Text & "',em11='" & TextBox63.Text & "',tot11='" & TextBox64.Text & "',res11='" & TextBox65.Text & "'

        You failed to see the actual problem: the textboxes contain text in TAMIL characters, but in the database varchar fields were used instead of nvarchar... :)
