I did not do a string search on "update," if that's what you had in mind. Since you're "amazed that the same questions pop up almost every week," maybe I can return the favor and help you too. The explanation is quite simple. Multi-table updates and deletes are such fundamental features of SQL that it doesn't occur to new users like me that it could be unsupported. Maybe we're all foolish and lazy, but maybe also it'd be smarter if the relevant doc section mentioned the lack of support. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
