I'vegotten two rounds of complaints about MySQL migrations bit by this problem in the last year, and I found it handy
topoint them to the FAQ entry. Even if one of the forms starts to work in 9.1 eventually, I'd like to see a comment
aboutthis issue hang around somewhere for future reference. Note that in both cases the whole operation involved was
ratherbrain dead and returning silly indeterminate results in MySQL, but they didn't realize it. No objections to the
PostgreSQL"limitation" once they understood it was fixing a subtle bug in the original too.<br /><br /> I was thinking
ofadding this one as an example for my next MySQL vs. PostgreSQL paper update, it's a great example of the focus on
correctnessdifferences between the two databases.<br /><br /><pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">--
