Todd: MySQL does not have this ability. You can, however, accomplish this with command-line shell/Perl/PHP scripts run from cron (type "man cron" and "man crontab" to learn more, if you are not familiar with it). -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: updating tables in MySQL
Are you using the DTS to schedule replication or periodic data imports? >> Original Message << On 2/25/04, 11:48:02 AM, "HACKATHORN," TODD "(SWBT)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote regarding updating tables in MySQL: > Hello, > Sorry if this is a obvious question, but I am new to mySQL, and PHP.
