Many thanks. One more thing: by default mysqldump uses --extended-insert=TRUE. This results in all the VALUES data being on one line. IF the table has much data this produces very long lines when viewed in a text editor. (WordPad crashes!) If --extended-insert=FALSE then multiple INSERT statements are used. IS there any way to have 1 INSERT statement with each subsequent data line on a separate line? E.g. : INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,2,3), (1,4,5), (1,6,7); TIA - Adam -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
