Ulrich,
vielen danken. I think I just need to change the configuration to do
guessing.
As far as the age of the version, I was thinking in terms of MySQL's
ChangeLog, but it looks like Suse does some maintaining of their tree
for 5.0.26.
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news-5-0-26.html
Ok, so only two years old, but in terms of bugs, many things get fixed,
but Suse probably fixed the issues I know of in their tree.
I really need to fix the config to guess, you bring up a good point.
again, thank you,
Patrick
