How the hell should I know? I am not a MySQL expert, and this is not a 
MySQL forum.

Nikos, you embarrass me. I have gone out on a limb for you, and this is 
how you thank me? You said you were improving, and yet here you go 
completely ignoring the links I sent you, and continuing to ask off-topic 
questions here.

Thanks for kicking me in the guts. I will remember this next time you ask 
a question.
