Most programing documentation give no quotation marks, so this is somthing more of a generic reply.

Quotes are not needed by all langauges.

THey are used to make a language aware of the boundries of your argument.

In most langs, you don't need quotes on a single word/value parameter. This is true for Tcl.

Because Tcl interprets the space as a parameter seperator, you have to quotes values that need spaces in them.

If the instructions for the command where like so

this_command

Where "" is made up of

EG
this_command "a b c"

Then you enclose the whole thing in quotes as shown

But in the command you have shown, it wants seperate aeguments. So use somthing like

mysql_connect dbname 127.0.0.1 user pass

Because each is only a 1 word (IE, no seperators in the values), you don't need the quotes.

Its the syntax thats troubling me eg:

mysql_connect [user] [password] [socket|port]

thats the syntax but its not clear wheather it needs to be in qoutation marks or wither socket and port are needed if so do i just go tcp|3306 or [tcp|3306] anyone that has used this module know how it works?

I've not used the mysql.mod for eggdrop, and I could not find any documentation on the commands... so my guess is that they are the same as ordinary mysql-commands, then you should read this, hopefully it'll help you some
