a select statement. Any one of the options given by you will work for me if
they are executable from a program written using MyODBC.
Thanks, Srinivas.

Hi,
I am a newbie to mysql db. I need a select statement which will just execute and doesn't
return any results. Also, it should not depend on any table which is specific to a database.
For example, Oracle has a table named 'tab' which will be present in all databases so my
dummy select statement looks like 'select tname from tab where 0=1'. Could this
functionality be achieved in mysql ? Is there any table in mysql which is similar to Oracle's
'tab' ?
Does it have to be a SELECT? Or just a NO-OP?
SET @nothing=0;
-or-
DO 0;
- or -
SHOW TABLES LIKE 'asdfzxcv1234';
