Dear Mr. Curtis,

Your contribution is very interesting. Also, as far as I could see, it looks a lot like in the style of DB/2.

What I am missing in your patch is the exact MySQL version against which you have produced your patch.

Thanks in advance.

Style is not so much DB2 but more aligned with ANSI SQL.

This patch was applied to 5.5.8 but should apply to most 5.5.8+ and even 5.1.

Thank you for your contribution. My humble opinion is that this feature can be useful. It seems to me that your patch is of such a quality that I will try to remember your name !!!

Antony,

There is one small thing that remains to be done. Please, go to this URL and follow the instructions:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70948&contribs=1

Let me know if you have problems.
[21 Nov 2013 15:45] Antony Curtis 
Hmm... When I discussed this at MySQL Connect, I was under the impression that I didn't have to because Oracle already has code I have contributed with BSD license. Example: VirtualBox.

Antony,

Sorry, but all non-employees must sign OCA ...
[21 Nov 2013 18:38] Antony Curtis 
No worries. We can continue to patch the server.

Antony,

Why don't you want to sign OCA ??? It is not harmful in any way. We are very interested in this feature and your patch.

You already have your user / password, so the procedure is quite fast. If you wish, I can give you URL or send you PDF file by mail. Your choice !!!
[22 Mar 2014 18:41] Antony Curtis 
I haven't signed OCA because my employer only permits contributing code using BSD 2-clause or Apache 2.0 license.
