Yes, you are right. But I prefer a third way altogether: INSERT INTO Tbl SET Field=42; The reason for this is, that it is very easy to change this to an UPDATE query like: UPDATE TBL SET Field=42; While you may hardly ever need to change INSERT <-> UPDATE, I find it nice that both those statements which do similiar tasks have the same syntax. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
