The manual states: The use of COMMENT for specifying the connection string is non-optimal and will likely change in MySQL 5.1. Keep this in mind when you use FEDERATED tables, because it means you'll need to make some modifications when that happens. So I'd guess they know full well it's not the best way to do it. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
