In MySQL help it is written that for its own purposes MySQL actually tracks all the information that you crave, but it nowhere is written that a BEFORE-UPDATE trigger can make use of it. Maybe UDF, but I know naught about that. Since BEFORE is called on every attempt, successful or not, maybe AFTER would be better. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
