hi i am experimenting with sql for getting lists of friends.
select friend.* from user left join link on user.id=link.id and user.id = $MYID right join user friend on link.friend_id = friend.id where user.name is null; on my local windows machine running mysql 5 it works fine, however when i try with to import the tables to a unix machine running mysql 4, the select fails. - if i do "user.name is null", i get an empty set. - if i do "user.name is not null", i get 10000 rows, where each of the 100 rows from the user table is repeated 100 times each. (the error might not even be related to mysql 4/5, but i am at a loss here) does anyone know how to resolve this? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
