Hello everyone, Im running MySQL version 11.15 Distribution 3.23.47 on
Windows 2000.  I'm having issues with the CAST command, for example, if
I execute: 

CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT CAST('2000-01-01' AS DATE);

I receive the error:  

ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '('2000-01-01' AS
DATE)' at line 1

This create command is the exact example used in the MySQL
documentation.  It doesn't matter if I execute these commands through
ODBC or directly on the console, I get this error.  I've tried different
variations of the cast command with different variable types, I've also
tried the convert command, and I always get the same message.  I've also
tried it on a MySQL database on Linux with the same result (I don't have
the versions, sorry).

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance...

Chris.
