Hi, I was looking through the online manual, and on this page (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Miscellaneous_functions.html), there is a function called COMPRESS(): COMPRESS(string_to_compress) compresses a string mysql> select length(compress(repeat("a",1000))); +------------------------------------+ | length(compress(repeat("a",1000))) | +------------------------------------+ | 21 | +------------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) I just installed the 4.1 alpha, and that command throws an error. Is this an error in the docs? ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://opentech.leafe.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
