Thanks. The problem is that INSERT_METHOD only works in MySQL 4.0, not in 3.23 If you need this feature, then you should download the MySQL 4.0.1 distribution and try this out. The MySQL 4.0 series has been out a while now and has in practice proven to be be quite stable..

As I said, "INSERT for MERGE" was introduced in 4.0 (including INSERT_METHOD).

Re: Syntax error with merge tables
Perhaps the INSERT_METHOD functionality was introduced in 4.0 but the merge tables themselves work in later 3.23 versions. If this is the case the documentation needs to be updated to show which version supports what.

Re: Syntax error with merge tables
Hi. AFAIK, insert for MERGE tables was introduced in version 4.0.0. Let's see... yep, http://www.mysql.com/doc/N/e/News-4.0.0.html says so. Regards, Benjamin.
