WTF? If this sample is indicative of the quality of the rest of PerlDesk, I'd seriously reconsider allowing it anywhere near my servers until a full review of the code was performed. > > Any help on how to fix this would be appreciated, I'd recommend that you either contact the vendor for support or forgo upgrading mysql. I assume that the software was tested with mysql 4 so you probably should continue to use that until you get a version of the software that supports mysql 5. You might fix this one problem, but who knows what other incompatibilities are lurking in the code (and will bite you at the worst possible time) -r -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
