Can not save a template with the {exp:query} tag

It is not possible to save a Template that contains a SQL query or uses the {exp:query} EE Tag.

Templates and Queries

Some Hosts have security implemented that does not allow the POSTing of data containing the phrase “select from”. This is done in an attempt to help prevent hacking attempts, but it can also interfere with normal operations of dynamic-powered sites like an ExpressionEngine site.

If this behavior is encountered then the host or administrator should be contacted for assistance.
