 * I have created a simple pod and template and wanted to just try it out however
   when I go and add a new pod (named “Test”) I input the name field and then press
   save. I then get this message:
 * `Error: Cannot get datatype fields; SQL: SELECT * FROM wp_pod_fields WHERE datatype
   = ORDER BY weight; Response: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the 
   manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to 
   use near 'ORDER BY weight' at line 1`
 * My server is running…
 *  * PHP 5.2.9
    * Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2
   mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_status/
   0.2mm * MySQL 5.0.77-community-log
 * Does anyone know the problem here?

 * Look in your database and see if the “wp_pod_tbl_Test” table was actually created.
   If you don’t know how, install the wp_phpMyAdmin plugin.
 * At this point, it looks like a server issue. Who’s your host, and are you on 
   a shared server? Also, are you familiar with Firebug?

 * The wp_pod_tbl_Test was created yes, but theres nothing in it.
 * My host is siteground.com and yes I’ve got Firebug.

 * I’ve just tested it on the same host in a sub blog I have and it worked straight
   away.

 * Could you email a login to your original blog to pods [at] uproot [dot] us? I’m
   curious to see why it was breaking on there.

 * I have also tried using pods on another hosting platform and I am getting the
   exact same error.
 * One server is running…
    * PHP 5.2.11 * Apache/2 * MySQL 5.0.88-community
 * And the other is on…
    * PHP 5.2.2 * Apache * MySQL 5.0.68-percona-3-log
 * Any help would be a life saver.

 * The final issue was resolved, as it was found to be a bug when you enter capital
   letters as a Pod name. Pods will now normalize the case to lowercase automatically
   to prevent these types of issues.
