Hi Gerald, > try ALTER IGNORE TABLE.
Thank you very much. I should have checked the manual first. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/ALTER_TABLE.html IGNORE is a MySQL extension to standard SQL. It controls how ALTER TABLE works if there are duplicates on unique keys in the new table. If IGNORE isn't specified, the copy is aborted and rolled back if duplicate-key errors occur. If IGNORE is specified, then for rows with duplicates on a unique key, only the first row is used. The others are deleted. --bk -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
