This error comes from issuing a CREATE TABLE when a table with that name already exists. > Is there a way to just publish one table over another, > as long as both have the same name? There are two ways to do this. Issue a DROP TABLE IF EXISTS my_table, before the CREATE TABLE my_table, or you can issue TRUNCATE TABLE my_table and ditch the CREATE TABLE statement. > > Thanks. > --- Tom Crimmins Interface Specialist Pottawattamie County, Iowa -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
