Hello everyone, Im running MySQL version 11.15 Distribution 3.23.47 on Windows 2000. I'm having issues with the CAST command, for example, if I execute:
CREATE TABLE new_table SELECT CAST('2000-01-01' AS DATE); I receive the error: ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax near '('2000-01-01' AS DATE)' at line 1 This create command is the exact example used in the MySQL documentation. It doesn't matter if I execute these commands through ODBC or directly on the console, I get this error. I've tried different variations of the cast command with different variable types, I've also tried the convert command, and I always get the same message. I've also tried it on a MySQL database on Linux with the same result (I don't have the versions, sorry). Has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance... Chris. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
