 Inside the page:
 Any index that doesn't span all AND levels in the WHERE clause is not
 used to optimise the query. In other words: To be able to use an index,
 a prefix of the index must be used in every AND group.
 
 [Note: optimize is spelled wrong in the manual.]

It is spelt in English, not American. That is not wrong!

 This discussion most certainly is our business.

No it's not. MySQL is owned by MySQL AB. The fact that you
get to use their code under GPL has no bearing on their
commercial discussions. All these posts to this list only
serve to inflame the situation.

Re: INSERT INTO ... SET ...

2001-07-13 Thread John Birrell

 In all the years I have worked/studied SQL, not once have I come across the
 INSERT INTO ... SET ... syntax.
 My questions are:
 
 1. Is this a valid statement?
 2. Is it ANSI standard?
 3. Is this a MySQL feature / bug or do other DBs support this?
 4. If it is valid, where is it documented?  All the SQL books that I've ever
 come across, do not contain such a syntax.

It's documented in MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/N/INSERT.html.
That page says it has been supported since 3.22.10.
