Why isn't “--comment” working when “— comment” does?

Per MySQL docs a space is required. Also, as stated on the previous linked page, MySQL deviates from the spec in this syntax (which is just 2 consecutive dashes --this is a comment ).

MySQL comments beginning with -- must be followed by a space in order to be considered a comment. This is something specific to MySQL, and has nothing to do with PHP. You may also use /* comment */ or # comment.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
