2003-09-26 Thread John Larsen
Has anybody out there used sas as a frontend of MYSQL. It is a great datamanagement and statisics program, but it seems to have a few problems dealing with mysql. One, it really wants to use cursors (which mysql doesn't support yet) but thats fine. In the absence of that when you set mysql as a

Re: Why are Duplicate keys allowed???

This is perfectly legal and right. A null should not be used for a value, and null should be used where a value will be put but has not been yet, so if I plan on putting 3 entries in where they are all the same but that in future will be different this is correct. Anyways two NULLS should not b

Does anybody know if there is a way to aggregate a table then join it to another table? I assume this would be possible with a subquery as in SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE t1.a=(SELECT sum(t2.b) FROM t2 group by t2.c); Except when I do it with 4.1alpha I get error "[root] ERROR 1240: Subselect returns mo
