Comment syntax

MySQL supports the # to end of line and /* multiple line */ comment styles.

select 1+1;	# This comment is to the end of line
select 1 /* in-line-comment */ + 1;
select 1+
/*
This will be ignored
*/
1;

MySQL doesn't support the -- ANSI SQL style comments. See section -- as start of a comment.

Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
