Some others do. Yes, it sucks. :-( I believe it is now possible to *make* MySQL care by putting it into "strict" mode when you start it... MySQL is the *only* db engine that lets you get away with [bleep] like apostrophes around numbers. I think strict mode also stops MySQL from the annoying habit of silently converting inadmissable date/time to '0000-00-00' [grrrr] It may even be possible to turn on strict mode with a query, and not just from launch... http://dev.mysql.com/ would tell you more about this. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
