I don't want to restart since that isn't very graceful (on a production machine). I've tried blahblah;;; and blahblah and blahblah; Anyone know what to do? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
