SQL problem in mysql
INSERT INTO task (user_id, poster_id, project_id, mount_id, subject, time, finish, priority_id, type_id, status_id) VALUES (999, 999, 111, (select MAX(ID) from task where subject = 'Software', 'training', -1, -1, 2, 2, 1);

and

UPDATE task SET mount_id = 2
Where Id = select Max(ID) from task where subject ='Consulting';

they both gave me this error :

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'select Max(ID) from task where subject ='Consulting'' at line 1

Please and Thank You

What version of MySQL you are using? Because subselects (nested queries) are supported only 4.1.x and newer version

Don't know about the second query, but you didn't close the parens around the subquery in your first one

[code]
INSERT INTO task (user_id, poster_id, project_id, mount_id, subject, time, finish, priority_id, type_id, status_id) VALUES (999, 999, 111, (select MAX(ID) from task where subject = 'Software'), 'training', -1, -1, 2, 2, 1);

MySql v 4.0.17, so i guess i should update my mysql. I'm downloading it now.

To Ursus,

Yes i did close the statement.

Thank You

After updating mysql to v 5.0.0a i now have this error:

You can't specify target table 'task' for update in FROM clause
