Re: sql statement works in local mysql dev instance, but not with google cloud sql

Thank you so much Shilendra and Rob.  Shilendra's advice to check my JDK was the solution,  I was using the default openjdk6 which comes with Ubuntu 12.04.  When I changed my Eclipse appengine project to use sun-jdk-6, the error went away.  Strange indeed.  Rob, I'll save your debugging approach for my next problem.  Thank you both!
