I see no particular reason why you should not allow a SQL query on a Status packet. We could have a separate sql query just for Status requests which does something like "select version()", "select now()" or "select 1". I think LDAP has something similar as well... On the other hand testing MySQL from another script is not a huge pain... -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
