There is no way to turn it off (well, no practical way, with open source nothing is impossible).
Can you add dummy columns to the mysql table to the insert statements match up? Regards, Mike Hillyer www.vbmysql.com -----Original Message----- From: Campbell D.

Unfortunately, the sql I'm loading is output from another tool, so I don't get to vote on the format of the insert statements. If it's not possible to just turn the check off, then I guess I'll have to consider writing a perl script or something to add the column specifiers. Please confirm that there is no way to turn this check off. That way, I'll be able to stop looking for one. 8o) best regards, Campbell At 03:14 PM 6/9/2003 -0400, Keith C.
