I disagree. If they want to use PostgreSQL, they should learn our syntax. How can you make sure that this will be enough for them? What if they want more? I have administrated lots of MySQL server until I started working for Command Prompt (I still take a look at one once a month, for a government related thing). +#define MYSQL_HELP_CHECK(o) \ What if some other people will come up with the idea of adding similar functionality for their favorite database? The only exception will be Informix IMHO, because of historical reasons. So, -1 from me for adding such a support for MySQL's cli commands. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE Command Prompt - http://www.CommandPrompt.com devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
