Is the version of SQL statements that I write for MySQL based on the
server version or the client version?
clearly for the server
mysql is a database-SERVER
I know that. I thought that if the client is at a lower level, as in
this case, I would need to write SQL that satisfies the client. In other
words, features that emerged after 4.1 would have to be omitted since
the client wouldn't know how to handle them.
But I'm not clear what the MySQL Client even is let alone what it does
so I'm prepared to accept the good news that I can write SQL at the 5.1
level and not have it be a problem for the client.
According to phpMyAdmin, the version of the MySQL Client is 4.1.22 but the
MySQL Server version is 5.1.65. When I
write SQL, do I need to ensure that it follows the rules as laid out in the
Version 4.1 manual or the version
Version 5.1 manual?
5.1
but a server using 5.1.x with 4.1.x client libraries is misconfigured
these days and with PHP >= 5.3x mysqlnd should be sued
I can try sending a note to that effect to the hosting company but I
have my doubts about whether they will care.
Still, this may explain why the script generated by the Export of my
table failed to work when I tried to use it to reimport my table. The
second (non-comment) line it had generated was:
SET time_zone = '+00:00";
As you can see, the string begins with an apostrophe but ends with
quotation marks, causing a mismatch.
Or maybe that's just a completely different error that has nothing to do
with the client/server levels.
