It worked in 4.x but does not work in the new syntax. How should I rewrite it to get the same result?
OK, that was a lie. It works in 5.x as well. I should learn to describe my problem more accurately as well as RTFM :-( The correct description of the query in question would have been: select * from messages, someothertable left join messages as messages_ on messages.thread = messages_.thread and messages.created < messages_.created where messages_.id is null Since there was a comma (inner) join there, the left join applied only to 'someothertable' and not to message table as intended. As I learned, in 5.0.12+, parentheses matter! Duh! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
