Hi!
I just tested this;
After executing the commands, I got (I only select the 4,5,6 and 7:th field)::
mysql> select birdt,expdt,anlrt,hrlrt from HR1;
+---------------------+-------+------------+--------+
| birdt | expdt | anlrt | hrlrt |
+---------------------+-------+------------+--------+
| 1988-07-01 00:00:00 | NULL | 28540.0000 | 0.0000 |
+---------------------+-------+------------+--------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Which corresponds to:
<cut>
Greg> '1988-07-01 00:00:00',
Greg> NULL,
Greg> 28540,
Greg> 0,
Which looks ok!
What did you get ?
Please remember to always provide a COMPLETE example and use the
mysqlbug script!
