Re: Forward compatible double declaration

Hello Paul, On 30-Jul-00 18:23:05, you wrote: >>BTW, is there a way to query a MySQL server to figure supports DOUBLE >>values without a fixed number of decimal places, maybe by checking the >>server version? >SELECT VERSION() will give you the server version number as a string. >Perhaps you could check that. How do I execute a query like that in PHP when there does not exist any database in the server? PHP requires that you select a database first before executing any queries. Since you can run a "database-less" without having any databases created in the server, could this be a limitation of PHP? Regards, Manuel Lemos Web Programming Components using PHP Classes.
