also, make sure debug is set to true in your nsd config.tcl file - that way your error log will include the sql query exactly as it is passed to the database.

Also, although this isn't your problem, you probably should use bind variables in your queries - ie:

where address_book_id = :address_id

that way you are automagically protected against 'sql in variable' hacks etc.

Hi,
This is the error log from the statement:-

"set selection [ns_db select $db "select address_book_id,first_names ||','|| line1 ||','|| ....." up to the end of that very  statement !!

Note below: -
