my name is alan madsen.
while i am very well grounded in complex systems and database management that is archaic by today's standards, i am looking at a creating a server-side php/mysql environment for a very simple database application with only the experience of recent light reading and knowing that i've successfully installed a wamp serverkit on windows 2k (uniform server) that includes mysql5: The Uniform Server is a lightweight server solution for running a web server under the WindowsOS. 5.79MB! It includes the latest versions of Apache2, Perl5, PHP5, MySQL5, [and] phpMyAdmin http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver/ running on a laptop, i've seen this installation's instance of apache serve web pages to the net. very nice. i'd like to create, load, and maintain, a mysql database table containing fewer than 8,000 records, each with 5 fields (rows?) - lengths ranging from 10 bytes to 80 bytes - of character data, one field of which would be used as data and as a isamkey (com- pound keys would be nice, but they are not necessary). assuming a working installation of mysql5 and that a csv data file exists, will someone outline what steps are necssary to: 1. create such a table, 2. load it, and 3. the mysql methodology to access it via php/mysql_isam? any comment would be appreciated. regards, Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
