Helo list, I don't recall if it was here that I heard of this mySQLMan package. I think so. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/mysqlman/index.htm has quickly saved me lots of hair, and will soon enable me to go live with mySQL... My use and interest in mySQL has just taken a quantum leap forward.
I have known for a long time that I would eventually want to run mySQL but the inability to use a web browser to access and manipulate data was a show-stopper for me. I just could not see myself getting all that excited by a character-based interface. It works for some things but not for serious database development, IMO. Last time I checked, Oracle wanted about 1,000,000 US dollars for their front-end gizmo (Oracle Forms?). I'm sure it has come down some since I checked. And maybe there is an X-Windows GUI interface available, but I am not aware of it. I have worked with 3-GL's in character based mode for over a decade; I like being spoiled by a browser and a GUI. So, I waited and waited, and voila, someone finally invented the wheel. The only thing I KNEW for sure during this time was that I was not going to give in and begin to use a MS product like Access; one that runs only on Windoze based O/S's. There are lots of great products for Windoze and I have to hand it to MS for marketing, but I'm not interested in having to reboot and reboot just to regain resources with a production system. While there are lots of users of MS-Access, it doesn't come in a Linux flavor so I could not devote much of my mindshare to it. It is an unfortunate reality because I really need a good database but it had to run on Linux to get my attention. So, now that I have found mySQLMan, I owe someone a huge "Thank you!". I got it up and running in a day, or so, and I'm excited to be moving on with my little project. I do get the impression that mySQL is compatible with RH Interchange as the install asks this question during setup. Hope that proves to be true. If there is a better way to go for an ecommerce server than Interchange, I have not seen it--but I'm all ears! Any caveats or alternative recommendations would be considered but only for a short time...I'm about to attain lift off! Personally, I do think the security issues on mySQL take up an inordinate amount of time (from what I can see on this list, it's a major issue that needs revisited from a development point of view). Thankfully, by seeing that there is more than one table involved with the mySQL database, I poked at it long enough that I finally got the remote login to work. Geepers, what a nightmare... Wouldn't it just be easier to hang all of the illegally intruding b*$#(@+s until we eradicated them from the planet?
