Howdy all, I've tried to search for an answer to this on the lists (and on google), but I haven't been able to come up with anything, so I apologize in advance if this question is redundant.
According to the docs (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SQL_mode.html): "The MySQL server can operate in different SQL modes, and can apply these modes differentially for different clients.... "You can set...the SQL_MODE variable with SET [SESSION|GLOBAL] SQL_MODE='modes'.... Setting the SESSION variable affects only the current client.... You can retrieve the current mode by issuing a SELECT @@sql_mode statement." Okay, fair enough. My app needs ANSI (or at least PIPES_AS_CONCAT). So here I go... mysql> \s -------------- mysql Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.17, for pc-linux (i686) Connection id: 8 Current database: mysql Current user: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SSL: Not in use Current pager: stdout Using outfile: '' Server version: 4.0.17-standard Protocol version: 10 Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket Client characterset: latin1 Server characterset: latin1 UNIX socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock Uptime: 1 day 14 hours 32 min 19 sec Threads: 1 Questions: 708 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 419 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 48 Queries per second avg: 0.005 -------------- mysql> SET SESSION SQL_MODE='ANSI'; ERROR 1193: Unknown system variable 'SQL_MODE' mysql> SET SESSION sql_mode='ANSI'; ERROR 1193: Unknown system variable 'sql_mode' mysql> SELECT @@sql_mode; ERROR 1193: Unknown system variable 'sql_mode' mysql> show variables like '%mode%'; +---------------+-------+ | Variable_name | Value | +---------------+-------+ | sql_mode | 0 | +---------------+-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) Huh? Was the documenation just plain lying to me? What gives? Any help would be extremely appreciated. --Matt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
