Has anyone else tried to set the INSERT_METHOD for MERGE tables? It keeps throwing a syntax error for me.
Following the docs verbatim (http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/E/MERGE.html), here's what I get: >>output mysql> CREATE TABLE t1 (a INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, message CHAR(20)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec) mysql> CREATE TABLE t2 (a INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, message CHAR(20)); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> INSERT INTO t1 (message) VALUES ("Testing"),("table"),("t1"); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> INSERT INTO t2 (message) VALUES ("Testing"),("table"),("t2"); Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 3 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql> CREATE TABLE total (a INT NOT NULL, message CHAR(20), KEY(a)) TYPE=MERGE UNION=(t1,t2) INSERT_METHOD=LAST; ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'INSERT_METHOD=LAST' at line 1 >>end_output I checked the release notes/changelog, but there's no mention of the INSERT_METHOD being broken or fixed. I'm running MySQL version 3.23.42-log on RH 7.1. -- coop --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
