Federated engine and comment???
Hi there, Did I just see in the documentation that the comment clause is being misused to supply a connection string for the federated engine? If so, I sure hope it will be changed before the final 5.0 release. comment is next to useless like this. It's already being misused by InnoDB to describe the FK constraints... What's wrong with introducing a new clause?

What's wrong with introducing a new clause? The manual states: The use of COMMENT for specifying the connection string is non-optimal and will likely change in MySQL 5.1. Keep this in mind when you use FEDERATED tables, because it means you'll need to make some modifications when that happens. So I'd guess they know full well it's not the best way to do it. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Urm, where does it do that - my 4.1 server says CONSTRAINT `login_properties_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`prop_login_id`) REFERENCES `login_master` (`login_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE, CONSTRAINT `login_properties_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`ref_prop_name`) REFERENCES `login_properties_master` (`prop_name`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COMMENT='Properties for a login' nothing in the comment field about key constraints - or is that new in 5? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
