You seem to be confusing two unrelated meanings of SET. The SET in INSERT statements is mentioned here: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/INSERT.html It's just an alternative syntax so that an INSERT query can look like an UPDATE query. The SET from the manual page you mention is a column type and would be used in creating a table. -- Keith C.
