Hi All,

Using MySQL server version 3.23.49-nt I get strange results when running the 
following very simple test.  I am wondering if this is a bug, feature or 
perhaps a standart SQL behaviour??

CREATE TABLE test(id BIGINT UNSIGNED);
CREATE INDEX test_idx on test(id);
INSERT INTO test VALUES (0), (1), (2), (3);
SELECT * FROM test WHERE id > -1;

I get an empty result.  With column type INT UNSIGNED, it's a little bit 
better; only the 0 is not included in the result set!

However if I don't put an index on the column, everything seems to behave 
good.  I recon it has something to do with casting (-1) to an unsigned 
value. Is (id > -1) a valid and supported comparison on that column after 
all???

Thanks for any answers!
Charlie
