That sort of state is done on a per connection basis. Secondly my understanding is that the point of changing the delimiter to $$ is because you don't want a ; in your function to be interpreted as the end of your create function statement. However if multiple statement handling isn't turned on, do you need to change the delimiter at all ? (you would need to separate the drop and the create since those are two separate statements) Fred > > - ff > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group > athttp://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
