In need of a dummy select statement ...

[Srinivas B.S.S]

Hi,

I am a newbie to mysql db. I need a select statement which will just 
execute and doesn't
return any results. Also, it should not depend on any table which is 
specific to a database.
For example, Oracle has a table named 'tab' which will be present in all 
databases so my
dummy select statement looks like 'select tname from tab where 0=1'. 
Could this
functionality be achieved in mysql ? Is there any table in mysql which 
is similar to Oracle's
'tab' ?

Thanks,
Srinivas.
