Workaround: use DROP TABLE + CREATE TABLE. I hope in MySQL-4.0.7 TRUNCATE TABLE will be fast for InnoDB, i.e., it will be internally mapped as DROP + CREATE. > Regards, > Sekhar Best regards, Heikki Tuuri Innobase Oy --- InnoDB - transactions, hot backup, and foreign key support for MySQL See http://www.innodb.com, download MySQL-Max from http://www.mysql.com sql query --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
