(MySQL 5 on both Debian/internet and NT/local) Ugh...more weird behavior that I swore worked as expected before...
=SQLEXEC(goconn1,"select COUNT(*) as icnt from accounts","curCntLive") WAIT WINDOW VARTYPE(curCntLive.icnt) For some reason, the curCntLive.iCnt field is a CHARACTER field result! What the heck?!? Likewise, when I do a simple predefined/default field numeric/integer value, it comes back as a character field as well, as this example proves: =SQLEXEC(goconn1,"select 1 as iselected, a1.* from accounts a1","curAccts") WAIT WINDOW VARTYPE(curAccts.iselected) I've liked working in MySQL but these little things are starting to get annoying. Is this something I should submit to MySQL for feedback/review or what would you do? tia! --Michael -- Michael J.
