"It is possible that in the case of a duplicate-key error, a storage engine may perform the REPLACE as an update rather than a delete plus insert, but the semantics are the same. There are no user-visible effects other than a possible difference in how the storage engine increments Handler_xxx status variables." <<<<<<<< Well, try it--but beware of these statements: "the semantics are the same. There are no user-visible effects other than a possible difference in how the storage engine increments Handler_xxx status variables." If accurate, the triggers are those of DELETE & INSERT, not UPDATE. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
