EXIST? Yeah I certainly have seen it before in the result of a mysqldump, but from the top of my head, I probably wouldn't have known in exactly what context it is used. I've used MySQL for 5 years now and i think if you ask such a question, you don't know what you should be asking because the context of EXIST is hardly ever needed, and if, if you know where to look for it, that's more important than being able to reproduce it in from the top of your head. It's like asking: "Do you know the syntax for ..." where ... is a rarely used function in PHP or any other language. It's like requiring your employees to know every function of a language...
You're making an assumption about the situation. What if it was for a dba job or teaching advanced sql?
And 'exists' is not for mysqldump. -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
