I don't know if you can do it directly in a mysql shell like that (like you would with v$, dba_ in Oracle) but if you call a show command from PERL (via DBI) it hashes the result just like it were from a select.
may not be the most elegant solution but its the best I've come up with though I'll happily blush in embarassment if there's a "direct" way I've not found... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
