Prepared statements are not executed, just parsed (simplified), so no, it is not important for initialization statement to be before prepared statements.
Right; what I wondered was whether you needed to execute some sort of "magic" initialization statement which would then allow normal processing, including preparing regular statements, to proceed. From the bug report (thanks for that) I see your example is setting character sets with MySQL, which I take it doesn't affect preparing statements, but I'm not a MySQL expert. Perhaps other DBs in certain configurations might have initialization requirements that do affect preparing statements? Since I'm not an expert in all the different DBs and their possible configurations, I just wanted to open the subject for discussion. It also seems to me that it doesn't hurt to do the initializations first, just in case. Chris. -- GPG Key ID: 366A375B GPG Key Fingerprint: 485E 5041 17E1 E2BB C263 E4DE C8E3 FA36 366A 375B
