1. Why doesn't this message have the standard footer?
2. Most of your questions are answered in the manual
(check in the standard message footer for details).
3. The short answer is; No, MySQL doesn't support triggers.
The longer answer is; It isn't likely to either [check
the manual for the reasons].
4. Mysql uses '#' as a comment delimiter so it is NOT a
legal character for tablenames.
Hope this helps - if not, check the manual - the manual is
you friend.
