Version 5.0 is the current production version of MySQL; it may be time to consider an upgrade. What do you think? If you are not interested in upgrading all the way to 5.0, 4.1 was the leading production version until 5.0 was released. You may want to upgrade to just that.... http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/upgrade.html or http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/upgrade.html Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine
