Let op, dit suggereert geen minuut om MyISAM te gebruiken. Ik gebruik dat alleen om mijn id's, min, max en count op een rij te krijgen. Dus negeer de motor alstublieft.
create table ratings
( id int auto_increment primary key,
thing int null
)engine=MyISAM;
insert ratings (thing) values (null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null),(null);
insert ratings (thing) select thing from ratings;
insert ratings (thing) select thing from ratings;
insert ratings (thing) select thing from ratings;
insert ratings (thing) select thing from ratings;

Moraal van het verhaal is misschien om een waar-clausule te gebruiken.
Men kan de mogelijkheid van een impasse niet uitsluiten.
