>can anyone point me to a reference regarding the Com_ status information
What exaclty do you mean? http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_STATUS.html states that the com_xxxx is just how many times the xxxx command has been issued. So if com_select = 34021 there have been 34021 selects issued to the server. Do you need something more in depth or are you just trying to figure out what they mean in general? --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
