RE: Question
Hi You should use the following construction: SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID (); This will return the last auto-increment value for the current connection. There is also an API function, and in PHP: mysql_insert_id or something like this. -Original Message- From: Jason Brunk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 8:43 PM To: MySQL Subject: Question i have designed a system that works on MSSQL but i have decided to port it over to mysql.

For the SFW packages make sure /opt/sfw/lib is in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and I'm not quite sure what it is for the sunfreeware.com versions, probably /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib).

my.cnf
I have a need to have two MySQL installations operable on the same Mac OS X server (which is much the same as a configuration for Linux or BSD). One is a complete binary installation to a custom location and the other a complete source installation to the standard installation location of /usr/local/bin. They have separate socket files and ports assigned to each (I realize this is not ideal but is what I need to do in my particular case). The MySQL manual mentions that the option file should be located at: DATADIR/my.cnf for Server-specific options. If I create two separate my.cnf files and locate them in the appropriate DATADIR for each of these, will there be any confusion over the options to be used? I am having problems doing so. BTW, according to the manual: DATADIR is the MySQL data directory (typically `/usr/local/mysql/data' for a binary installation or `/usr/local/var' for a source installation). Note that this is the directory that was specified at configuration time. Can I change this after installation and initial configuration? -- Michael __ ||| Michael Collins ||| ||| Kuwago Web Services ||| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ||| Seattle, WA, USA ||| http://www.lassodev.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Localization with MySQL
I'm working on two projects for which I'm trying to build in functionality to localize or internationalize later. For one project, a large chunk of text would be translated into an unknown number of languages. For this I'm allowing the text to be a 'text' field in a record, with other fields holding the language code (i.e. 'en', 'fr') and another the charset for that language. For the second, only a set of keywords would be translated into a small number of languages. For this project I'm using one record per keyword, with the various language translations being separate fields within the record - the record 'id' is what drives searches in this case. I'm using an Apache server with Perl and PHP, and MySQL as a db (of course). The only steps I'm taking is to have a field specifying the language (in the first case) and to name the columns/fields by the language code (i.e. 'en', 'de, 'jp') in the second. I'm also allowing twice as many characters for the 'jp' field, since that language requires (as I understand it) 'double' characters to drive it. I intend to drive the content by (1) selecting the language according to the 'Accept-Language' variable in the user's browser OR (2) allowing the user to select a language manually. Obviously I'm not up to speed on the exact requirements of localization and using other languages, and am concerned more about some pedestrian basics first - I'm just trying to avoid painting myself into a corner. Is there anything else I should be doing, or doing different? Can you point me to any resources on localization that would help me build this right the first time?

I think in this case the adding of a double quote is because of the way that the CGI is handling the input. I find that using the terminal I can indeed just add quotes to a field. I don't know how I can add the other types of characters and see if there are there since they are in effect invisible. So it is really that MySQL can handle ANY character?

Re: db design questions
My comments are bellow: Pretty much was Siomara says is the way I think, except that I would have made the extra table for the two addresses. SIO: If you are sure that two addresses are enough for your business then I really don't see the reason to put in an extra table. Keeping it simple by putting them together with the simple attributes. It won't affect anything, and it will avoid extra selects to get this information. It will also avoid unnecessary joins. BUT... if in your business the user will be free to inform more than one home address or more than one comercial address and then mark the preferred one ...then go for the separated table. If you are not sure about what your business wants then go for the second option. It will provide more flexibility in a long run. For the kids field it depends on what you want. If you want to have information for each child then you would create a separate table, but if you just need to record the number of kids then I think one field in the main table would be fine. SIO: I definetly agree Also if you have information like you mentioned, gender and marital status, instead of making it a char or varchar field with the words Male and Female or Married and Single just use a tinyint and make the values 0 or 1. You should either comment somewhere what the 0 and 1 means or actually create another table for sex that just has two fields and two records. 0-male, and 1-female and same with marital status. SIO: I would handle gender in the application instead of creating a table for it. Another example of using a second table to store information would be the interest checkboxes you'll see on most web pages registration form. Its a list of check boxes that you are supposed to check what interests you have, movies, stocks, computers and so on. For this you would have your main table with no interest field, just the rest of your information plus your unique id. A second table (interest_definitions) would have two columns, interest_id and interest_text. and the third table (interests) would have user_id and interest_id. The interest_definitions would have all the possible interests someone can choose and the third table would have a row for each interest the user is into. SIO: I definetly agree specially if you consider that the number of interests in table may increase at anytime.

RE: Multiple users.
they can't access them! are you sure about that? indeed, if a user is logged on to the web host, he is acting in the environment imposed by the operating system on the user session. in this case, the other databases - given that the correct permissions are established - can not be accessed. but consider the case where the database is accessed thru a web page. Dubois briefly discusses this topic in MySQL. Now the user - any user - is running as whatever the web page server is running as. so if user A wants to provide web access to his database, the login name and password must be available to the user that the web page server runs as. so i can write a script, invoke it thru the web server and read user A's cnf file which gives me his login name and password. I just got access. I'm trying to figure out a solution to this problem. If anyone has a solution, i would really appreciate the answer.

For the second, only a set of keywords would be translated into a small number of languages. For this project I'm using one record per keyword, with the various language translations being separate fields within the record - the record 'id' is what drives searches in this case. I'm using an Apache server with Perl and PHP, and MySQL as a db (of course).

Re: re-sorting auto_increment fields
there is a way: delete the column add the column then the auto increment will start from 1 up to the number of records. be careful! if there are records in other tables which refer the records in this table - the one being modified - those records WILL NOT BE UPDATED. and now your database is really broken. you can postpone this problem for a very long time by using an unsigned bigint (0 - 2**64-1) note i said postpone, not eliminate. hth At 11:31 PM 7/7/01 +0100, you wrote: Hi ANy idea how i can get my auto_increment fields to renumber themselves after deletion of records so that they all get re-ordered and run consecutively from 1 to whatever without any numbers missing ?

mytop - a `top' clone for MySQL http://public.yahoo.com/~jzawodn/mytop/ About mytop is a console-based (non-gui) tool for monitoring the threads and overall performance of MySQL 3.22.x, 3.23.x, and 4.x servers. It runs on most Unix systems which have Perl, DBI, and Term::ReadKey installed. And with Term::ANSIColor installed you even get color. As of version 0.7, it even runs on Windows (somewhat). New in 0.8: Added a Queries Per Second or qps mode. You can enter qps mode by hitting the `m' key. In this mode, mytop will write out one integer per second. The number written reflects the number of queries executed by the server in the previous one second interval. mytop is now distributed as a true Perl package. There's a normal Makefile.PL, which means it can be installed via the standard mantra: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install This should make life a bit easier. It also means that you could install it using the CPAN shell. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
