....which is about a language that integrates with mySQL. Not
everyone (including me) gets comp.databases.mysql. I didn't even
know that group existed until just now.

If you didn't want to answer the question, why did you bother replying?

If that group is not available on your newsserver you should ask the
server admin for adding it. If they don't want that, you should find a
better newsserver.

My newsserver is a part of my hosting service. My admin will add
new newsgroups any customers ask for. I just didn't know it existed
in the first place.

Because this is a PHP group, not a MySQL group. PHP interfaces with
Apache and Linux, also. So from your argument Apache and Linux
questions should be asked in this group, also.

That's why there are multiple groups. And if your news server doesn't
have comp.databases.mysql, ask them to get it. Or use Google Groups.

amen. however, we should do him a favor and explain why he's going to be
laughed at in any db ng. the term is "magic values". i had to wait this long
to respond because i was rolling forever when i saw the user+key@domain
construct!
