Mystery SELECT statement

[jasonswett]

I'm looking at a C++ program written by someone else that has the following line:

sql.replace( "select name(char51) into :name: from group where tech_id=" );

The SQL statement has a value appended later to make the statement complete. My question is what is the "name(char51)" part? "name" is not a function, but a column in the "group" table.

I suspect you need to search in the corner of Java/ OpenGL rendering of fonts.
char51 can be found in the glut_roman.cpp sources
