Hi all,

Is there anyone using version 4.1 that can verify or refute the claim
posted at the bottom of the upgrade notes here?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-from-4-0.html

The user claims that UNION statements with parentheses are broken in
4.1. That is, 'SELECT * FROM table1 UNION (SELECT * FROM table2)' or
something similar.

We're looking to upgrade but find te claim a bit dubious as there's no
follow-up, no other mention, and I can't recall seeing anything on the
list about it. Can anyone perform a quick test or verify one way or the
other? I'd be much obliged.

Thanks!
