I don't think that's entirely true. MSAccess doesn't refer to indexes, only keys... and keys in access can be unique or non-unique based on your key properties. This is identical to how MySQL treats the terms.

The usage in the textbook makes more sense (and seems to be the terminology used by MS Access as well); how did MySQL end up using them differently? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
