Got the snippet from the mysql website: select @last := last_insert_id()
i av the hunch that is to assign the variable 'last' to the last_insert_id(). Im i right? is placing @ before a word mysql's way of declaring variables? what's the work of the colon preceeding the equal sign? -- http://ngBot.com | http://wap.ngBot.com Nigeria's #1 website directory.
