Password for Root
Hi people, I have a small problem. I forgot the password for user root in my personal MySQL instance. I'm a Linux user and running Debian Sarge on my computer. I have few other DBs which I created and which I have access to (still I remember the passwords) but are not having access to MySQL database. Is there any way to recover from this situation. If I reinitialize the DB (somehow) how can I port my existing information back in to the initialized DB (without exporting and importing). Any Debian friends who can help me.

It's definitely not optimal -- you are substantially reducing performance to avoid a simple parameter that you could easily script (I assumed you would be prepared to simply specify the socket name as a parameter), but if your requirement is that clients must connect using default settings, then this is one way. Personally I'd find another.

Effective-dating
Does anyone know of a thorough discussion of effective dating on the
web, particularly with respect to MySQL, or have any opinions you
could share?
I've worked with effective-dated tables in MS SQL Server and never
been particularly awe-struck by how well it works. I can think of
three ways of doing it:
1) Store a "Begin" date and an "End" date for each row and then
reference the row with 'WHERE {transaction date} BETWEEN {begin} AND
END. This inevitably winds up with overlapping rows that shouldn't
be or gaps where you don't want them, and also requires an extra date
column, but the select queries are simplest. Also, what about
indexing the dates?
2) Store an "Expires" date with each row, but then to find the actual
row you have to do a subselect or some messy joins and I'm not at all
confident this will be optimized reasonably.
3) Store an "Effective as of" date with each row but this has
essentially the same problem as 2.
None of the SQL books on my shelf even mentions this, including
Jeremy Zawodny's "Hi-Performance MySQL" and the "MySQL Reference
Manual."
This page is interesting but doesn't explain the different options
nor try to analyze which is best and under what circumstances: http://
llamasery.com/forums/showthread.php?p=34945
Strangely enough, most of what I find by googling the topic
"effective dating" has to do with meeting girls efficiently - which
is also interesting, but outside the scope of this list and not
immediately relevant to the system I'm working on.

New to TRIGGER and CALL. Example gives errors.
I'm trying to follow the example in the manual to create a trigger: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/using-triggers.html #DROP TRIGGER upd_check; delimiter // CREATE TRIGGER upd_check BEFORE UPDATE ON starkeys FOR EACH ROW BEGIN IF NEW.skey < 1 THEN SET NEW.skey = 1; ELSEIF NEW.skey > 9 THEN SET NEW.skey = 9; END IF; END;// delimiter ; All I'm trying to do is enforce that my starkeys.skey column is always in the range of 1 through 9. I was planning to start with this example and work my way up. Ideally it should check on UPDATE or INSERT. The manual recommended: "It can be easier to define a stored procedure separately and then invoke it from the trigger using a simple CALL statement. This is also advantageous if you want to invoke the same routine from within several triggers." But I don't know how to do that yet. vmware public_html # mysql --version mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.19, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1 But I just get these errors: Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'delimiter // CREATE TRIGGER upd_check BEFORE UPDATE ON starkeys FOR EACH ROW BEG' at line 2 (0 ms taken) Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ELSEIF NEW.skey > 9 THEN SET NEW.skey = 9' at line 1 (0 ms taken) Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'END IF' at line 1 (0 ms taken) Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'END' at line 1 (0 ms taken) Error Code : 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '// delimiter' at line 1 (0 ms taken) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
database backup and restore
Dear all, I have mysql 4.1.11 on my current server, i need my database restore another server.. (another server mysql version is 4.1.11 same.) And now... I just created new my database to new server following command: CREATE DATABASE dbname DEFAULT CHARACTER SET latin5 COLLATE latin5_turkish_ci; because our database and tables uses latin5 and turkish_ci collation. How can i get correct backup and restore for this character sets? example; mysqldump -uUSER -pDBNAME > /path/backup.sql and restore; mysql -uUSER -pDBNAME < /path/backup.sql is this correct for me? OR mysqldump --default-character-set=latin5 -uUSER -pDBNAME > /path/backup.sql and restore; mysql --default-character-set=latin5 -uUSER -pDBNAME < /path/backup.sql some peoples suggest me --default-character-set= variable for mysql 4.1.x backups and restore, is this correct? also if we backup database --default-character-set option, restore command is same option will need to use? Which method is good for me? if someone can help me for this, i'm pretty happy.

After giving up on this a few weeks ago (time scarcity) i returned to it today and discovered this: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/2515 It seems my problems stemmed from the above bug. If you build mysql yourself without the ./configure option "--without-readline", which is what i had been doing, your version will fail to copy stuff from .mysql_history.TMP to .mysql_history after a session, in effect, leaving the history blank. Currently there appear to be two solutions: 1) give ./configure the "--without-readline" option (not sure what the tradeoffs are here, but there's no metion of any harm in he above post.) 2) apply msvensson's patch (see above link) I tried applying the patch, but it failed for me; however, #1 restored my command-line history functionality. The bug exists in both 5.0 and 5.1.7-beta versions. I am assuming the patch should work for both, since there is no diff-erence between the files //cmd-line-utils/readline/readline.c , which is the file that needs to be patched. I am surprised no one responded about this. Is there not anyone else out there besides me doing their own build !? Surely they should have noticed non-functioning command history.

Because I'm running two servers, I needed to alter the socket names so that in the end, clients won't find the default socket location anymore.

Grant privileges only to connect to localhost. You mean say "localhost" as hostname for the GRANT command? From my experience (which is actually not so clear in this) this doesn't work. Granting access only for connections from "localhost" when connecting to the server actually from the same host but through its external IP/hostname, it won't let me in. Need to test it further.

> But what I wanted to do is: > > MySQL 4.0 -> 192.168.0.32 and 127.0.0.1 > MySQL 5.0 -> 192.168.0.33 I'm going to assume you are using some kind of Unix-like platform. When you connect to localhost, you are actually connecting by default through a Unix socket file, not TCP/IP, because it is much faster. Thus it is perfectly possible to do what you outline without having to specify multiple IPs in the bind-address option. External connections will use TCP/IP, internal will use a unix socket file. If you wanted to use -only- the unix socket file to connect to a particular instance, thus completely disallowing external connections, you can use the skip-networking option. I think the clearest description of this is actually: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html As you can see, the same concept works on Windows, except through named pipes. To verify what type of connection you are using, use the status command. You'll see a line like: Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket -or- Connection: via TCP/IP > Or is there another way to only allow certain users to connect from > localhost? Of course. Grant privileges only to connect to localhost. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/user-account-management.html Or use skip-networking to turn off TCP/IP for that instance. > As I think about it, a local TCP forwarder would accept connections on > localhost, but MySQL won't see that, so this wouldn't work anyway. Completely unnecessary! You are far better off simply using the default behaviour of connecting through a socket, not TCP/IP, when connecting from the same machine. What you are wanting to do is not that unusual, and I'm confident you'll find there are ample options to get the setup that works best for you. I strongly suggest you read up in the manual on how MySQL handles TCP/IP and local connections.
