Re: Use MySQL with Microsoft Office
Thank you all for your responses. The reason that I am currently asking about Publisher is that i do certificates for programs that my organization runs and I am able to in publisher mail merge the Proper Names of both the recipients and signatories onto the certificate plus print the wording, graphics and other content all at once. with out having to do 2-3 passes through the printer ... a great time saver when doing 200 certificates I have the myODBC installed but can not get Publisher XP's mail merge to get the data.

They cannot do MailMerges like in OpenOffice or M$, but it's much easier to use than M$ and looks a lot more professional. As a side note, OpenOffice, as of 1.1.2, does not have a Publisher type equivalent. It also does not have an Access equivalent, hence MySQL interoperability.

I'm not familiar with Publisher, but I gues that it is supposed to help you make publications in a kind of desktop pulishing way. In the article at http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/10/04/150207 the author compares Writer (the wordprocessing part of OpenOffice.org) with Adobe's Framemaker. Maybe that will help you a bit. It's worth mentioning that the current version OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 will soon be replaced by a major upgrade as the 2.0 beta has recently become available. On http://www.openoffice.org you can read all about the new features in this release. I use both OpenOffice.org and MS Office and both have their pros and cons.

Re: Meaning of 1:1, 1:1 generalization, 1:n, 1:n non identifying, n:m
weird... about 1:! generalization and 1:m non identifying... I think that these examples can make it better to understand some of those terms... I am quoting from Database Systems -- Design, Implementation Management fouth edition by Rob Coronel (page 23) Conceptual Modules use three types of relationships to descrive associates amond data: one-to-many, many-to-many, and one-to-one. Database designers usually use shorthand notations 1:M, M:N, and 1:1 for them, respectfully. The following examples illustrate the distinctions among the three. 1. *ONE-TO-MANY Relationships* A painter pains many diffrent paintings, but each one of hem is painted by only that painter. Thus the painter (the one) is related to the paintings (the many). Therefore, database designers lable the relationship PAINTER paints PAINTINGS as 1:M. Simillarly, a customer account (the one) might contain many invoices, but those invoices (the many) are related to only a singe customer account. The CUSTOMER generates INVOICE relationship would also be labled 1:M 2 *MANY-TO-MANY Relationship* An employee might learn many job skills, ans each job skill might be learned by many employees. Database designers label the relationship EMPLOYEE learns SKILL as M:N. Similarly, a student can take many courses, and each course can be taken by many students, thus yielding the M:N relationship label for the relationship for the relationship expressed by STUDENT takes COURSE 3 *ONE-TO-ONE Relationship* A retail company's management structure may require that eaco one of its stores be managed by a single employee.

Re: Telephone number column not working
One issue could be that an int column unsigned can only hold up to
4294967295 a ten digit number. Plus if you put it in a context of a
phone number... only area codes 428 or lower will have ALL THE
EXCHANGES and ALL THE UNIQUE NUMBERS in the range... with part of area
code 429
A bigint will hold the complete range you are looking for However,
I would sugest that since you mostlikely are not going to be doing
mathematical operations on a phone number that you use a varchar or
char field.
Maybe someone could correct me but aren't regex for strings only?

I have a field telephone.
Set to type :int:

It's not working correctly, and not sure if it's my
application or something I have wrongly set up for the
database.
We are talking about U.S. Telephone numbers here, so 7
digits (area code, exchange, unique number)
Now it seems everything works up to the storing of 6
numbers. Once I add the 7th number, everything goes
haywire. The number gets transformed to some totally
different number and / or 0 (zero).
Now I had set up a validation , which I think would be
correct for a U.S. number:
[0-9\+\-\/ \(\)\.]+
Yet, even if I remove that regexp and let it validate
solely on integers: -{0,1}\d+
Nothing.
I thought perhaps enforcing the field to unsigned
might help, but no change.
One last note, I've now added some javascript to
enforce format. This hasn't changed anything , better
or worse. Same behaviour. This is solely for making
sure client enters 111-111- format. Just wanted
to include this in my information.
Well if anyone has a clue appreicate the help.

Hello,
I have a questions with limitations/restrictions that are around for
full text search.
I have a field with data like XY-11443;. and I need to find the
record. The original developer was using full text search and says that
all was working before the task switched hands.
The basic query is
select * from metadata where match(type) against ('+XY-11443' in boolean
mode);
This query spins through all of my records and gives no results.
However, if I remove the XY- and just do ('+11443' in boolean mode) I
get an immediate and correct result.
I believe there is something going on with the '-' in the string that is
causing trouble - like maybe a stop word or something - but can't find
exactly what is going on and more importantly HOW TO FIX IT
Any help would be awesome!

Re: Images
I thank you all for this discussion... and for the great information that everyone has provideded. Next question (which is part of my original) how do I actually get the images into the Blobs...

Like just a primary key and the blob field. Have all your other metadata in a seperate table. Especially if you are going to be occasionally doing queries of just the metadata and don't want to always retrieve the image. Comments? I agree. That's the approach I used. Data on products are stored in a products table, while images are stored in a table called images. The images table has the following fields: ID, ProductID, SizeID, Image. There are 4 images of different resolutions for each product. The SizeID is used to tell which resolution is being requested. For example: Select Image from images where ProductID='8443' AND SizeID='1' ProductID is an int. SizeID is a small int. The Image field is largeblob, because some images are as large as 300k. However, images are generally 15k, 45k, 90k, and 180k, so perhaps largeblob is causing a performance loss? I also plan on using caching tools, so maybe performance tuning on the backend isn't as significant?

Re: Images
Ed brings up a great point... i would rather not have anyone 'searching' for images in directories and such... On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 10:53:01 -0700, Ed Lazor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok... I have some more test results. After optimizing as much as I can think of, without using caching, I've gotten things down to a 13x difference. Using Apache's ab performance test, the image comes from a file at an average of 2ms and from the database (using PHP4) at an average of 28ms. I know... it just reiterates what you were already saying, but it sure is great to see actual numbers measuring the difference. Maybe the difference could be even less if I were properly optimizing MySQL. The big question still outstanding, for me at least, is whether web page caching makes the performance difference a mute point. If caching is storing everything as files, we get the best of both worlds. Plus, I think there may be a little bit of a security benefit. A directory has to be marked as writeable so that scripts can store image files. This isn't necessary when using MySQL. Do you agree with the security benefit? Does webpage caching negate the performance difference? -Ed -Original Message- Grabbing the file was 38 times faster because MySQL was not designed to be a filesystem. There are filesystems out there specifically designed to handle hundreds of thousands of small files.
