Hello again Paul,
1-Why the error code (1064) can't lead explicitly to the syntax problem ?
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.
The mysql command returned the error code [ ERROR 1064 (42000) ]
I search in the manual with "ERROR 1064", and then get the page :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/error-messages-server.html
Error: 1064 SQLSTATE: 42000 (ER_PARSE_ERROR)
Message: %s near '%s' at line %d
I cannot figure out what is wrong from this info, whereas error code 1063
or 1065 are far more explicit.
Why the error code (1064) is not telling : "wrong usage of reserved word"
or something like this ? that could be linked to a page showing some
exemple of what to do ?
===========================================================
2-Could you tell me how I could go directly to the relevant page ?
[ Hard for you to feel like a lambda user in MySQL ]
It sounds like you mean, "When I have a problem, how can I instantly
find the solution?" I don't think I can answer that.
I'm not so childish : just like to have more pieces, but smaller pieces,
ORTHOGONAL, so that each could be adressed with appropriate search :
you give me a perfect opportunity to explain my point :
the following page DO exist :
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/reserved-words.html
but
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/keyword.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/keywords.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/keyword-words.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/keywords-words.html
do not exist.
also, why is there a keyword list in the reserved-words.html page ?
this is not "orthogonal".
In what "keyword" and "reserved-words" differ ?
also, the relevant point for me was :
The identifier quote character is the backtick (`):
And it is found on the same page telling about
- maximum length,
- Unicode,
- ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode,
- default character set
- recommendation on naming
==============================
Hope not being asking too much.
regards.
