Um, yes, probably need to update my Oracle reference manuals – I think the big fat paper one on my shelf may even refer to ANSI SQL89, which I suspect is pretty much what my head content is based on also. In any case, XOR doesn’t appear to be in the latest ANSI/ISO SQL standards I have access to (ANSI 2003), so this may be a MySQL-specific extension. But however you slice it, XOR is the wrong solution for the problem at hand! ;) Cheers!
