Uuuh, I really do not like this typical "clever" driver approach. First of all, why should a CREATE TABLE statement *not* use prepared statements? For example: CREATE TABLE foo (..., myenum VARCHAR(4) DEFAULT ?, ...) I do not know, whether the server side supports it, but if it doesn't: Who says that will remain so? And, besides, I really find it better, if the user must choose. These kind of "clever" things will always end in discussing how and when and when not and ... It is much better to give the people a clear advice: If it doesn't work like you want, do that. Jochen -- If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. (Katharine Hepburn)
