Merge tables: how to get the insert_method?
Hi, Anyone got a clue where to get a hold of insert_method after creating the table? Is the SHOW CREATE TABLE output the only way to get it?

What does it mean and how would I apply it in order to modify a table's contents? Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine

Hello Shawn, Thanks for replying. INSERT_METHOD is an option valid for merge tables. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/create-table.html From what I can see, the only way to get it, is parse the SHOW CREATE TABLE output.

From http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/merge-storage-engine.html: To create a MERGE table, you must specify a UNION=(list-of-tables) clause that indicates which MyISAM tables you want to use as one. You can optionally specify an INSERT_METHOD option if you want inserts for the MERGE table to take place in the first or last table of the UNION list. Use a value of FIRST or LAST to cause inserts to be made in the first or last table, respectively. If you do not specify an INSERT_METHOD option or if you specify it with a value of NO, attempts to insert rows into the MERGE table result in an error. -- felix -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
