Its been a while since I posted this. Would like to check again with the folks on this list if they know why the results of query (b) are all blank on MySQL 5.0.22. It works fine with 5.0.51a. If it is a bug in 5.0.22, can someone suggest a workaround for this (other than upgrading MySQL).
Thanks, Nishi CREATE TABLE t ( id TINYINT, title VARCHAR(10) ); INSERT INTO t (id, title) VALUES (1, 'aaa'), (2, 'bbb'), (3, 'ccc'), (4, 'ddd'), (5, 'eee'); (a) DO @sn := 0; SELECT @sn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sn, id, title FROM t GROUP BY id ORDER BY id desc; | sn | id | title | +------+------+-------+ | 1 | 5 | eee | | 2 | 4 | ddd | | 3 | 3 | ccc | | 4 | 2 | bbb | | 5 | 1 | aaa | (b) [MySQL 5.0.51a]: DO @sn := 0; SELECT @sn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sn, id, title FROM t HAVING sn=2 ORDER BY id desc; +------+------+-------+ | sn | id | title | +------+------+-------+ | 3 | 4 | ddd | +------+------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) (b) [MySQL 5.0.22]: mysql> DO @sn := 0; SELECT @sn:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sn, id, title FROM t HAVING sn=2 ORDER BY id desc; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Empty set (0.00 sec) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
