Re[2]: Remote Access to SQL Server via Internet

2001-07-14 Thread Werner Stuerenburg

 IT is actually more of a security risk, because it is sending passwords in
 the clear.

You should not send a password at all. Put your password in a
file at a safe location on your server (you can always protect it
with .htaccess), then let your program read this password and
send it to MySQL.

Also, look for a different ISP. They should make things easy, and
there are plenty who know how to do it. No problem at all. If you
are looking for an account in the US and need personal advice,
contact Glen Pipkin at [EMAIL PROTECTED], for example.

RE: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Britt Johnston

Well, what a mess.  It is regretable that this legal issue
needs to be aired so publically that was certainly not my
preference.  I also will not get into a flame war, it is
not in the best interest of mysql. I appreciate all the
email I've received with advice and/or support - thanks.

It is important that everyone realize that there is a legal
agreement that both Monty and David personally signed that
provides NuSphere broad rights around the use of the MySQL
name.  That agreement also allows NuSphere to release MySQL
under the GPL license forever and print and distribute the
manual.  We paid significant money to Monty and David in
exchange for that agreement which was central to forming
NuSphere.  This is public record.

Please consider these facts when you try to understand
NuSphere's rights and motivations - we actually worked hard
to get the details in writing before we even started the
company and we paid real money.  It is under this agreement
that we believe we have a clear right to use mysql.org.

Now it appears there is a need by MySQL AB to characterize
that agreement as no longer in effect - I hope you can respect
the fact that NuSphere believes it is fully in effect and we
wish to continue to abide by it.  This is the central issue
and public debate will not resolve it.

As far as mysql.org goes, what NuSphere would like to see is a
non-profit organization running that site - we have been consistent
in this desire for over a year, but it has been opposed by Monty
and David.  I discussed this with Monty as recently as a few weeks
ago in June and July and as always he was not interested - I
appreciate he is entitled to that opinion as I am entitled to
believe that it is time to take this step in the MySQL community.
I invite all those who are skeptical to join mysql.org and be part
of its formation.

[BTW, the first community action was to get rid of the registration
requirement at the site - it is no longer required for downloading
files rather it is a membership registration only now.]

As far as NuSphere's contribution to MySQL, it is disappointing to
see our efforts discounted so quickly.  At a minimum there are
specific bug fixes, features, and language statements focused
around transaction support in the server that are in MySQL due
to NuSphere's efforts in cooperation with Monty.  The Gemini table
handler itself is already part of MySQL and is licensed under the
GPL - go find ha_gemini.cc and you will see it we checked it in long
ago in V4 and again in 3.23 when V4 was late.  The Gemini component itself
will be released via mysql.org as GPL as previously
announced - note that Gemini itself is not a derivative of MySQL in
any way - it's roots date back to long before MySQL existed.

Finally independent of the rest of this.  I have the highest respect
for Monty and what he has done creating MySQL.  I'm certain we can
move beyond this and make MySQL an even stronger open source project
and I encourage everyone move to a constructive dialog.

Re[2]: why it is like this... {}

2001-07-14 Thread Werner Stuerenburg

   I am taking some value from html form as i shown and i am inserting that
 value be getting thru request.getParameter(name) and inserting into the
 table along some other values.

 I am using in servlets.

Hm. I don't know about servlets. Seems like that does something
wrong.

It is pretty dangerous to take html from a form. You can do lots
of evil things. Therefore, most people take care to disable html
from forms or at least only let simple things pass like B or
the like.

Hence I guess that the servlet does some sort or
html-disabling/filtering and gets it wrong.

Disabling html from forms is not easy either. See for example the
discussion at http://php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php
for the function strip-tags, which should do just that. (Someone
has found that even this can be circumvented, so they had to
improve another time - see comment 14-Mar-2001 02:23 and
following.)

I use php which is very convenient. You can do eveything you
dream of very easily. In particular, if anything goes wrong, you
can have a look at it and understand why.

But, I must admit, there is a learning curve, as is with
everything.

Anyway, right now there's not an easy solution that I know of. But
having looked at the binary logging code a bit, I don't think it'd be
difficult to do (add the necessary code to MySQL), provided that the

It is good to see some discussion taking place here.  Perhaps it will

I don't think that folks are discounting your efforts.  In many cases,
folks knew little of what NuSphere had really done to date.

 The Gemini table handler itself is already part of MySQL and is

There's another source of confusion for people.  The difference
between the Gemini table handler and the Gemini component itself.
What is the difference?  (I think I might know, but I suspect that
it's not clear to folks who haven't heard you talk about Gemini in
person.)

 Finally independent of the rest of this.  I have the highest respect
 for Monty and what he has done creating MySQL.

A sentiment we all share.

And some (many?) of us realize that NuSphere has a done some
incredible work in an effort to take MySQL up a notch.  NuSphere's
talent and responsiveness was clear to me during the Gemini beta
program.

 I'm certain we can move beyond this and make MySQL an even stronger
 open source project and I encourage everyone move to a constructive
 dialog.

I suspect that in the short term, the legal battles are likely to
become less interesting to this community than:

  * Being presented with the mysql.org site and not understanding
where it came from, who runs it, and why they should go there.

  * The affects that this will have on the community.  Are there going
to be separate mysql.org hosted mailing lists which overlap in
funtionality and audience with those hosted here?

  * Will it become less clear where users should go for information,
documentation, downloads, and so on?

  * Understanding the differences between NuSphere's MySQL and MySQL
AB's MySQL distributions.  I know that they are relatively few
now, but will that continute to be the case?  Who knows.

Those are the sort of concerns which motivated my statements in the
MySQL press release a few days ago.  I think that the MySQL community
today is excellent--one of the best surrounding any piece of Open
Source software today: Linux, FreeBSD, Perl, Apache, PHP, Python,
MySQL, etc.  They all have great communities.

None of us want to see the community sidetracked, fragmented, or
otherwise damaged as a result of this.  Having read about the old
XEmacs fork from GNU Emacs, that sort of stuff doesn't sound pleasant.

We have a great forum for discussion right here.  I'd suggest that
when feasible, folks should talk to the community.  Find out what
folks here think about having a new/different web site, forked code,
or whatever may be brewing.  Unlike slashdot, folks here are apt to
think before writing the first thing that pops into their heads.

Given that this mailing list has been a large part of the MySQL
community, it'd be great to see folks from NuSphere on it in a while.

[== snip, snip ==]

Jeremy:

You should be complimented for giving us a measured and
rational posting on this potentially emotional issue.
And also, it is good that Britt has clearly stated his
understanding, though perhaps a bit too late to have
prevented one of those common socialogical phenomena,
the perception that sombody or a Company is somehow
exploiting Open Source with its train of reactions:

-  NuSphere is a dirty bunch of guys
-  Monty is being screwed
-  et cetera ad infinitum

Personally, I could care less about the mysql.org
domain issue.  I, more or less, see it just as another
kind of ex-officio site supporting some Open Source
effort.  I cannot see why it would lead to confusion
as to who is leading the MySQL development, as the
information presented on the site makes everything
very clear.  But, somehow, possession of this domain
is important to both of the disputing parties for
reasons only known best to them.  I think in the
long run, to the community, the more sites/domains
dedicated to the promotion of MySQL, the better.

As for NuSphere being perceived as violating the GPL,
it appears that they have just not handled it very
well in their, er, PR, as, if the NuSphere exposed
position is taken on face value, namely they have
submitted their changes, but the community has
not been really made aware of this because of the
complex relationship between NuSphere/MySQL which,
also, was not made clear by either party until
recently.

For me, this is a tempest in a teapot, mostly due
to the silence of NuSphere on the mechanism of
complying with the GPL and the details of NuSphere's
position on the domain issue.  In summary, with
20-20 hindsight, NuSphere has probably handled its
PR badly, and now they are suffering for it.

Hi!

Do you always get that error when running the above query on the above

If yes, please check space available on TMPDIR partition when the

If this is not a problem, we would like to test it ourselves. How big

Re: Any workaround for no union operation?

2001-07-14 Thread Kevin Smith

Will the following be in version 4 as well?

UPDATE table1
SET cola = SELECT [colb]
FROM table2
WHERE table1.id = table2.id

And sub-selects as well?

Thanks,

 Hi!

 Unions will soon come in 4.0.

 Meanwhile, your query can utilize indices if you have a composite
 index on seller and buyer.

Re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Marten Mickos

Justin,

I very much agree with your compliment to Jeremy for his posting.
Some notes on your posting follow.

At 14/07/01 14:03 +0200, Justin wrote:

Personally, I could care less about the mysql.org
domain issue.  I, more or less, see it just as another
kind of ex-officio site supporting some Open Source
effort.  I cannot see why it would lead to confusion
as to who is leading the MySQL development, as the
information presented on the site makes everything
very clear.

Yes, now the mysql.org site is much clearer. At the time of our press 
announcement, the site looked different. The infringement of our trademark 
in the name of the site has not been cured, however.

But, somehow, possession of this domain
is important to both of the disputing parties for
reasons only known best to them.  I think in the
long run, to the community, the more sites/domains
dedicated to the promotion of MySQL, the better.

To be specific: MySQL AB does not oppose the existence of community 
websites. On the contrary, we encourage them.

But we are opposed to violations of our trademark and other rights, to the 
lack of identification of the people/organisations behind it or affiliated 
with it , and to anybody requiring registration before allowing downloading 
of our GPL software. The identification issue has now been fixed on 
mysql.org, and we are happy about that move, and Britt said in his recent 
posting that the registration issue has been fixed. We now look forward to 
seeing the intellectual property issues cured as well.


As for NuSphere being perceived as violating the GPL,
it appears that they have just not handled it very
well in their, er, PR, as, if the NuSphere exposed
position is taken on face value, namely they have
submitted their changes, but the community has
not been really made aware of this because of the
complex relationship between NuSphere/MySQL which,
also, was not made clear by either party until
recently.

I would say violating the GPL and submitting their changes are two 
different things (and maybe you would, too).

Regarding the GPL violation we state the following: NuSphere is and has 
been shipping a product that includes the MySQL server under GPL and the 
Gemini component, with the Gemini component statically linked to the MySQL 
server. The source code of Gemini or a written offer to provide it is not 
included in the package, wherefore this constitutes a violation of GPL.


When it comes to submitting changes there might be more than one 
discussion threads, and I might not personally be aware of all of them. 
I'll try to cover those that I believe are relevant and hope I cover what 
you intended.

First thread: In case somebody thinks so, it is NOT possible to cure a GPL 
violation by submitting source code to MySQL AB. The source code or the 
written offer has to be in the product that is delivered to customers.

Second thread: We at MySQL AB have not refused to accept Gemini source code 
into the tree, nor have we required transfer of copyright of it to us, or 
shared copyright (if anybody thought so).

Third thread: There was a situation where NuSphere asked us to include in 
the MySQL server a crypting function that had been developed by a third 
party (not NuSphere, not MySQL AB). In the absence of shared copyright for 
us to the piece of code in question, we refused to take it in. This is a 
principle we have been following always, and it is followed by other open 
source companies as well, and by the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

I hope the above adds clarity.

Database Backups

2001-07-14 Thread MikemickaloBlezien

Hello All,

We just installed MySQL 3.23.39 on a Redhat/Linux6.2 system,..so far so good. We
have about 30 customers who are currently using various dbs and was wondering if
someone could recommend or has setup some sort of automated back up system for
the db's. We use the mysqldump utility do backups, but was wonder if it's
possible to setup some of program to execute a 'cron' type back utilizing the
mysqldump utility, like once a day.

Any suggestions much appreciated :)

Security problems - Very Newbie!

2001-07-14 Thread Sara

Hi

Ok, having sorted out my scripts, I'm understanding the concepts of Mqsql quite well, 
however, before i got too far into creating and manipulating data I want to understand 
the security issues.  I run the mysql server on a win2K box and use the client from 
the same machine, therefore I can just type mysql at the c:\ and in I go.

I have another pc which is networked so a great opportunity to try out the security.

PROBLEM!

I can't seem to get access rights set up or indeed users.
below is what happens when I try to grant access to me on my machine rather than just 
type in mysql.

mysql thinks I am called administrator, and my host name is sara (as shown in 
mysqlwinadmin)

C:\mysql grant all on *.* to administrator@sara identified by delboy

When I type in the statement to grant access it throws out the following text:

MYSQL  Ver 9.23 Distrib 3.22.7b-beta, for pc-cygwin32 (i386)
By TCX Datakonsult AB, by Monty
This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

Usage: MYSQL [OPTIONS] [database]

  -A, --no-auto-rehash  No automatic rehashing. One has to use 'rehash' to
get table and field completion. This gives a quicker
start of mysql.
  -B, --batch   Print results with a tab as separator, each row on
a new line. Doesn't use history file
  -C, --compressUse compression in server/client protocol
  -#, --debug=...   Output debug log. Often this is 'd:t:o,filename`
  -T, --debug-info  Print some debug info at exit
  -e, --execute=... Execute command and quit.(--batch is implicit)
  -f, --force   Continue even if we get an sql error.
  -?, --helpDisplay this help and exit
  -h, --host=...Connect to host
  -n, --unbuffered  Flush buffer after each query
  -O, --set-variable var=option
Give a variable an value. --help lists variables
  -o, --one-databaseOnly update the default database. This is useful
for skipping updates to other database in the update
log.
  -p[password], --password[=...]
Password to use when connecting to server
If password is not given it's asked from the tty.

  -P  --port=...Port number to use for connection
  -q, --quick   Don't cache result, print it row by row. This may
slow down the server if the output is suspended.
Doesn't use history file
  -r, --raw Write fields without conversion. Used with --batch
  -s, --silent  Be more silent.
  -L, --skip-line-numbers  Don't write line number for errors
  -S  --socket=...  Socket file to use for connection
  -t  --table=...   Output in table format
  -u, --user=#  User for login if not current user
  -v, --verbose Write more (-v -v -v gives the table output format)
  -V, --version Output version information and exit
  -E, --verticalPrint the output of a query (rows) vertically
  -w, --waitWait and retry if connection is down

Possible variables for option --set-variable (-O) are:
max_allowed_packetcurrent value: 25165824l
net_buffer_length current value: 16384l

C:\mysql -h sara -u administrator -p
Enter password: **
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: 'administrator@sara' (Using password: YES)

When I try to then login in to mysql as administrator (my win2k login name) which 
mysql thinks is the root it says access denied.

If I try to update me (administrator as a user by execuiting the following command it 
won't accept it either, but I may be misunderstanding the syntax here?

c:\ mysql -root mysql update users set password=passworddelboy where user=root

two things here, if when I try to login as root it thinks I'm administrator should I 
be substituting root for administrator and is the password syntax correct?  Im not 
sure if one substitutes the second password statement for mypassword

Sorry this is so long, but I would like to get my thinking straight on here so that I 
can access the server on this machine from my other one.  But with the grant access 
statements not working it will let me connect to the server but won't understandably 
allow me access to the db!

In anticipation

Regards

Sara

 Britt == Britt Johnston [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Since Monty is travelling for 30 hours or so (from Australia) I will
answer this.

Britt Well, what a mess.  It is regretable that this legal issue
Britt needs to be aired so publically that was certainly not my
Britt preference.  I also will not get into a flame war, it is not in
Britt the best interest of mysql. I appreciate all the email I've
Britt received with advice and/or support - thanks.

It was not our will to make the legal issue into a Public debate
either. But you chose to mention the legal stuff to a journalist. I
wont comment on everything in this email to avoid extra escalation.

Britt It is important that everyone realize that there is a legal
Britt agreement that both Monty and David personally signed that
Britt provides NuSphere broad rights around the use of the MySQL
Britt name.  That agreement also allows NuSphere to release MySQL
Britt under the GPL license forever and print and distribute the
Britt manual.  We paid significant money to Monty and David in
Britt exchange for that agreement which was central to forming
Britt NuSphere.  This is public record.

There WAS an interim agreement from June 2000 to be replaced within 3
months by a final agreement. We have confirmed to NuSphere in writing
the termination of the interim agreement. It has not been in force for
some time. Also I was the only one who signed (not Monty) it and sent
it by fax (we where in a hurry).

When it was in force, the interim agreement did NOT provide NuSphere
broad rights to use the MySQL name and it did not grant any licenses
forever. Under the agreement, Progress paid a total of USD 312,501
with the last check being cut in September 2000. See
http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html for more information on
this.

And about the right to distribute under the GPL. I remember very well
asking you why this paragraph was in the agreement. I thought it was
stupid to add a right to distribute the GPL version of MySQL under the
GPL. You said is was just something your lawyers wanted even if it was
just stating a right everyone had.

Of course any GPL software can be distributed by anyone as long as the
GPL terms are followed. But we might choose to put a future version
under a different license (free-software/open source compatible of
course!) and we never granted you the right to distribute NEW versions
of MySQL under the GPL ver 2 forever.

And just like anybody in the whole world you can distribute any new
version that we license under the GPL if you follow the requirements
of the GPL.

Britt Please consider these facts when you try to understand
Britt NuSphere's rights and motivations - we actually worked hard to
Britt get the details in writing before we even started the company
Britt and we paid real money.  It is under this agreement that we
Britt believe we have a clear right to use mysql.org.

You never ever had right to operate MySQL.org

Britt Now it appears there is a need by MySQL AB to characterize that
Britt agreement as no longer in effect - I hope you can respect the
Britt fact that NuSphere believes it is fully in effect and we wish
Britt to continue to abide by it.  This is the central issue and
Britt public debate will not resolve it.

It was a interim agreement and has also been officially terminated.

Britt As far as mysql.org goes, what NuSphere would like to see is a
Britt non-profit organization running that site - we have been
Britt consistent in this desire for over a year, but it has been
Britt opposed by Monty and David.  I discussed this with Monty as
Britt recently as a few weeks ago in June and July and as always he
Britt was not interested - I appreciate he is entitled to that
Britt opinion as I am entitled to believe that it is time to take
Britt this step in the MySQL community.  I invite all those who are
Britt skeptical to join mysql.org and be part of its formation.

Why do you want us to be non-profit and you to be for profit? Can't
you operate it as NuSphere.org?

What you have wanted in the past is that MySQL AB should give up its
copyright to MySQL and turn it over to a foundation more like Apache
that has small commercial interests.

Since I and Monty had a commercial business idea when we started MySQL
in 94-95 that was not what we wanted. Since MySQL AB distributes
EVERYTHING it develops under GPL/LPGL or Public domain licensing we
already have a community site.

If you want to set up another one, you are free to do so, but you must
not use our name for it.

We know that MySQL.com is not yet all what it could be. But we have
worked on fixing this and we very recently showed our portals that
will be the basis of much more easily navigable information on MySQL.

Check them out (http://www.mysql.com/portal).

Two inserts are required.  You can insert multiple rows into a table via a

Re: Remote Access to SQL Server via Internet

2001-07-14 Thread Bruce Vander Werf

Thanks for all who responded. Here is the error message I get when I try to
connect to my current WSP:

MySQL Error Code: (1130)
Host '63:160.226.3' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

It looks like I need to find a new WSP. My current WSP is WebSiteSource
(www.websitesource.com), and I've been pretty happy with them until now. I
looked at Aletia Hosting (aletiahosting.com). They are very fast and it
looks like I can get a package comparable to what I have with WebSiteSource.
However, I jut got an e-mail from them that says they don't allow remote
access to SQL databases either. Sigh

Subject: Remote Access to SQL Server via Internet


Hi,

I would like to be able to create some tables in a database on an SQL server
at my web provider, then access those tables via a client application
running on my PC over the Internet (dial-up connection). My understanding is
that the client application accesses the SQL server via TCP/IP and not ODBC.

My web provider says no way. They can enable an ODBC connection for one
static IP address, which is not an acceptable solution, because a) I don't
want to use ODBC, and b) my dial-up connection may use one of a range of IP
addresses. They will not let me have direct TCP/IP access to the database.

My question is why my ISP would say this. Of course the database is password
protected, so I don't see why direct access is any more a security risk than
using their web-based client. Is this common practice among ISPs, or do I
need to shop for a new one? Any suggestions?

MySql - quit !

2001-07-14 Thread Simon

mysql --version
mysql  Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.39, for pc-linux-gnu (i586)

mysql wont start and mysql error log says

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: unrecognized option
`--defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf'

I tracked that down to the /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld script, and
altered it to nothing, as the my.cnf does NOT exist anywhere on the raq.
So I tried starting mysql again /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
and now i get a new error:

010714 14:22:36  mysqld started
010714 14:22:36  /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Can't find file:
'host.ISM' (errno: 2)
010714 14:22:36  /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: Normal shutdown
010714 14:22:36  mysqld ended

Yet this nice 'host.ISM' does exist ... hummm...

Anyway im completly lost with mysql and this is a production server that
uses mysql heavily, can anyone help ?  beg beg

Im quite happy to re-install mysql if its the easiest way, except the data
is TRULY IMPORTANT and can NOT be lost at any cost !  (Ow and I have no
idea how to set it all up again (tables), and/or backup the db's correctly)

thanks guys

WOW!

Does everyone realize what is going on here?  I don't know,
I consider this stuff historic.  Perhaps, at least to this
quasi-agnostic observer, Open Source Legal Resolution
has been invented by accident.  I find it interesting
that facts are coming out, two parties are at least
tending to converge on a legal remedy in a gentlemanly
manner in the forum of great pressure as exerted by
the highly-interested MySQL community.

One has seen already the removal of the download registration
requirement on the NuSphere site, something that was
technically meaningless in a strict legal sense, but
perceived as onerous by the Community as representing
some kind of insult to Open Source or designed for
imagined sinister motives.

One has seen the modification of the NuSphere site
to gain clarity as to the identity of the MySQL
developer(s), heretofor apparantly obscure.

One has seen already the clarification by MySQL AB that
the existence of ex-officio support sites for MySQL are
encouraged, not confusing, and good for all, but that
the mysql.org site is, technically, only a trademark
issue, in their eyes.

One has seen a convergence to the real nub, visible to
all of us interested observers, that the remedy for
GPL violations is not satisfied by late compliance
or other possibly-obscure methods of compliance.

One has seen a revelation of a lot of things behind the
scenes that are perceived as a violation of the GPL
and, usually, to the general member of the Open
Source Community, may be complex, such as static
linking, the idea of shared copyright, the mutual
interpretation of the agreement process
between the two parties, et cetera.  Both parties
are now letting everything hang out...

One has seen a complete stake-out of all necessary
legal positions of both parties out-in-the-open
that would be necessary in any discovery process,
and, as a humorous aside comment, almost pre-empts
the necessity of having legal councel prior to
going before the judge.  By some quirk, we have
become the court and jury of judgement that both parties
feel the need to convince, and cannot ignore.

This is very interesting, this Open Source Legal

HELP ! Myisamchk doesn't seem to see error in my table :(

2001-07-14 Thread Fournier Jocelyn [Presence-PC]

Hi,

I crash one table, and some datas are completely corrupted. However, myisamchk doesn't 
seem to see any errors (I try -e, -o and -r option)...

Here is an extract of the table : 

mysql SELECT * FROM forumconthardwarefr6 order by date desc limit 0,20;

The date column is DATETIME, and as you can see, the datas are completely corrupted, 
but myisamchk doesn't see anything wrong :(

Do you have any idea how I can recover the table ?


Thanks a lot !

MySQL Variables

2001-07-14 Thread MikemickaloBlezien

when you do a mysqladmin variables, where exactly are these variables stored,
and can they be changed. Also if a /etc/my.cnf is going to be used, once it's
been created does the MySQL server need to be shutdown and restarted to
recognize the new my.cnf file??

Again, Thx for the help :)

I too have been trying to get a my.cnf file working properly with

I have read the manual about option files and looked for the answer

correct parameters based on a file I found at 
/usr/local/share/mysql/my-small.cnf). This is a source install so I 
understand from the manual that the my.cnf file goes in the var

I have also tried a simple version of this:

Any solution I've tried using the LassoMySQL/var/my.cnf or ~/.my.cnf

Britt:

Why is it necessary to create such a site?  What is Progress' goal in doing so?

MySQL.com, despite David's disclaimer that it isn't perfect is enormously
useful.  This list's value is immeasurable.  I might see value in a
gemini.lists.mysql.com entity, or gemini.mysql.com, if your db is compelling. 
I've heard gemini adds value, but, don't know what that added value might be.

I programmed in Progress 6 years ago and found it ... interesting.  Not bad;
but, certainly interesting.  I don't know if Progress looks more like SQL since
my use of it, but, I doubt we're talking about Progress in those terms any
more.  I wouldn't know.  I've been working with MySQL for the past 4 years and
plan to continue doing so.

FWIW, I always thought Progress was a competent product, and, in my past used it
with huge success.  So, I've always felt good about it.  I was very excited last
year when Progress announced MySQL support.  

This message from you is very encouraging.  I'm impressed with it's candor and
even tone.  It's been a rough week for you and the people you work with, I'm
sure.  I doubt anyone here wants to see a dissolution of Nusphere and MySQL's
relationship.

Speaking for myself only, I'd like to see MySQL content/discussions stay where
they are, and, development efforts continue to be maintained/announced for the
core MySQL application at mysql.com, and, if there's any value in a mysql.org
portal for issues extraneous to the core of mysql, fine, but, with a name that
doesn't dilute the MySQL trademark.

Hope you and the principles at MySQL can find common ground and move in a
constructive direction.  Monty and crew deserve a positive outcome to this
issue.

Van

Straight from the manual:

4.16.5 Option Files

MySQL Version 3.22 can read default startup options for the server 
and for clients from option files. MySQL reads default options from 
the following files on Unix:

Filename Purpose

/etc/my.cnf Global options
DATADIR/my.cnf Server-specific options
defaults-extra-file The file specified with {defaults-extra-file=#
~/.my.cnf User-specific options

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, not the one specified with --datadir 
when mysqld starts up! (--datadir has no eect on where the server 
looks for option files, because it looks for them before it processes 
any command-line arguments.)

MySQL tries to read option files in the order listed above. If 
multiple option files exist, an option specified in a file read later 
takes precedence over the same option specified in a file read 
earlier. Options specified on the command line take precedence over 
options specified in any option file. Some options can be specified 
using environment variables. Options specified on the command line or 
in option files take precedence over environment variable values. See 
Appendix A [Environment variables], page 540.

Re: Remote Access to SQL Server via Internet

2001-07-14 Thread Joe Taraba

At 05:19 PM 07/13/2001 , you wrote:
Hi,

I would like to be able to create some tables in a database on an SQL server
at my web provider, then access those tables via a client application
running on my PC over the Internet (dial-up connection). My understanding is
that the client application accesses the SQL server via TCP/IP and not ODBC.

My web provider says no way. They can enable an ODBC connection for one
static IP address, which is not an acceptable solution, because a) I don't
want to use ODBC, and b) my dial-up connection may use one of a range of IP
addresses. They will not let me have direct TCP/IP access to the database.

My question is why my ISP would say this. Of course the database is password
protected, so I don't see why direct access is any more a security risk than
using their web-based client. Is this common practice among ISPs, or do I
need to shop for a new one? Any suggestions?

Bruce;

I have been following this thread, and I'm a little confused.

I am a web hosting provider, quite small, but I have some very well 
connected collocation boxes, one of which is newly setup with 
MySql/PHP/SSL/ssh12 and optional Telnet. A full blown IP based hosting 
package on my box is $19.95/mo.

Ok, enough advertising. What I'm confused about, and maybe missing 
something here, is why an ISP/WHP would not grant you remote access to your 
MySQL database?

When I setup the grant tables for a user I give them access to ADD, DROP, 
etc. for their database only. They don't have access to anyone else's 
database. So where is the security risk. Generally I don't have telnet 
running, and by default I allow remote access via ssh 1 or 2. If the user 
wants to start and run telnet in their own server area that's up to 
them--they get to clean up after the crackers themselves.

The main box is a Solaris, running Ensim Appliance software, and each 
webhost has RH 6.0, Apache, PHP4, and MySQL 3.22.32. MySQL will be upgraded 
next month.

I am new to administering MySQL, so I would be happy to cut my price 
substantially to anyone who needs a virtual home in exchange for a little 
help in understanding and using MySQL.

Please don't take this as a blatant opportunity to advertise, that's not my 
intention--however, feedback or criticism gladly accepted.

Joe

client that you run.  I would expect that all clients would therefore
connect to the same server...

But if I use /Path/specialMySQL/var/my.cnf and my option file contains:

[client]
port=14551
socket=/tmp/LassoMySQL.sock

Then, invoking the client from within /Path/specialMySQL/bin/mysql 
would use the different port and socket?

And, using /usr/local/mysql would then use the default datadirectory and port?

The clients won't use the option file in the data directory.  They will
only use the shared option file /etc/my.cnf, and the .my.cnf in your home
directory.  You might be better off creating aliases that specify the
options on the command line.


BTW, this is on Mac OS X, I wouldn't think it would matter but I 
thought to mention it.

Shouldn't make any difference.  I've noticed no special problems with MySQL
on Mac OS X other than that mysqladmin shutdown doesn't work.

Re: Remote Access to SQL Server via Internet

 Hi,
 
 I would like to be able to create some tables in a database on an SQL server
 at my web provider, then access those tables via a client application
 running on my PC over the Internet (dial-up connection). My understanding is
 that the client application accesses the SQL server via TCP/IP and not ODBC.
 
 My web provider says no way. They can enable an ODBC connection for one
 static IP address, which is not an acceptable solution, because a) I don't
 want to use ODBC, and b) my dial-up connection may use one of a range of IP
 addresses. They will not let me have direct TCP/IP access to the database.
 
 My question is why my ISP would say this. Of course the database is password
 protected, so I don't see why direct access is any more a security risk than
 using their web-based client. Is this common practice among ISPs, or do I
 need to shop for a new one? Any suggestions?

If your hosting provider runs SSH on the server, get an SSH client that
does tunneling.  Create a tunnel from your local machine on any port
(3306 works well :), to port 3306 (or whatever port MySQL is running on)
on the remote computer.  When you log the SSH session in (the ssh.com
client can do tunnels only), you have local access to the database.

As far as the system is concerned, you're local to it.  As far as your
client app is concerned, the DB is on localhost.  As far as anyone else
is concerned, the passwords and all traffic is encrypted.

re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Thomas J Keller

  Alright.  I have received Mr. Johnson's permission to share the email response
he made to me.  it is included herewith for informational purposes without
comment or prejudice:

   cut here   
NOTE:  personal opening comments removed for brevity

mysql.org has not been publically announced and it will take
some time for it to become the thriving community it is destined
to be.  My hope is that rather than fighting it, you can join it
and be part of an even more vibrant mysql community.

It is disappointing that our friends from MySQL AB seem threatened 
by the creation of noncommercial site to promote mysql that they
jump in and announce it themselves to the world and claim they 
were not informed.  The facts are they were informed and invited 
to participate, their response is what you have read.

You mention specifically that you believe we have no right to the
domain name.  The facts are that we believe we have a right under 
an agreement that was signed by both Monty and David that provided
us with broad rights to mysql related names.  In fact we paid a
significant sum of money for the ability to use those names and
other items and that same agreement in fact required MySQL 
to be released under the GPL.  Now that MySQL AB has taken on 
venture capital funding and hired new management, they want to
ignore those agreements.

Your comments about us not participating in any meaninful fashion
in the open source community are disappointing because it means
NuSphere has not done a good job communicating its work, I believe 
we provide a significant service and have allowed many people who
otherwise could not use open source software to use it because of
our work on improving windows ports, integration of components,
and major features.  We contribute back fixes and improvements to
many open source communities including apache, perl, php and mysql.
Much of that work is available at no cost through downloads at our
website.  I'd invite you to download and try NuSphere MySQL and 
see an example of what we have done.

The importance of our investment is reflected in Monty's own words:
NuSphere has identified a very important technical enhancement 
needed to transform MySQL into an enterprise-enabled database capable 
of competing with commercial heavyweights, said Michael Monty 
Widenius, chief technology officer of MySQL AB. In MySQL's five-year 
history, this is the most significant contribution from a source 
outside MySQL AB that has ever occurred.

We also support the community by sponsoring and helping organize
events such as the OSCON 2001 with O'Reilly, Open Source Database 
Summit with OSDN, and the Linux Legacy through Geek Cruises to name
a few.  We are proud of the significant investment we make in these 
areas so that the open source community can meet and learn from each 
other face to face.

As we said last January, we planned on Gemini being released
under an open source license as part of the launch of MySQL 4.0,
but that release has not shipped so we have decided to release
the source through mysql.org instead soon after its launch (the
community needs to setup CVS to support that effort).  Note that 
Gemini has both commercial and open source licenses just like 
MySQL itself and the products we are currently shipping are 
provided with a commercial license of Gemini.  We absolutely
believe we have the right to do this.

In closing, I hope you will take a moment to see things from our
perspective and understand that we want a strong mysql community
as strong as apache or php and one that is not controlled by a
single commercial company.

Thanks for your time,

Britt...

Loop an INSERT from form

2001-07-14 Thread David

I need to insert x amount of rows from one form.  The form displays x
amount of rows.  I then need to insert the values from the form x amount
of times.  The form loop works fine but how do I INSERT x amount of
times within a loop from the values of the form?  I think I need to use
some sort of array. I suck at arrays.

This executes when submit is hit:
$i = 1;
while ($i = $songsinalbum) {
 $query = INSERT INTO songs VALUES ('$id',
'$songname','$rating','$video', '$album_id', '$movie');
   $result = mysql_db_query(movies, $query);
};



Here is form:

$i = 1;
  while ($i = $songsinalbum) {

Are you seeing performance bottlenecks already?  Make sure you've

Watch your system closeley and see which appears to be the limiting
factor: disk I/O or CPU utilization.  Then you can further tune from

Re: Loop an INSERT from form

2001-07-14 Thread Werner Stuerenburg

While loops are quite dangerous when the stop condition never
occurs. This is the case here. You must increment $i to get a
break condition to step out of the loop! Insert $i++; in your
code and you will be fine.

 This executes when submit is hit:
 $i = 1;
 while ($i = $songsinalbum) {
  $query = INSERT INTO songs VALUES ('$id',
 '$songname','$rating','$video', '$album_id', '$movie');
$result = mysql_db_query(movies, $query);

Re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Marten Mickos

In response to the posting by Thomas J Keller of Britt Johnston's text, I 
feel I have to come with the following comments.

(The quoted text marked with  is by Britt Johnston)

 mysql.org has not been publically announced and it will take
 some time for it to become the thriving community it is destined
 to be.  My hope is that rather than fighting it, you can join it
 and be part of an even more vibrant mysql community.

We do not oppose communities that form around a common interest in our 
product. But we do mind if our trademark is used without authorisation. So 
we are not fighting the community, we are fighting the violations of our 
rights.

Is there any reason for not operating the site under the nusphere.org name 
or some other name?


 It is disappointing that our friends from MySQL AB seem threatened
 by the creation of noncommercial site to promote mysql that they
 jump in and announce it themselves to the world and claim they
 were not informed.  The facts are they were informed and invited
 to participate, their response is what you have read.

The last sentence is untrue. MySQL AB was not invited, nor informed of 
this. The last record we have that relates to mysql.org is from early June 
when we asked NuSphere to transfer the domain to us, and Lorne Cooper 
replied that NuSphere refuses to do so. He also noted that NuSphere had not 
populated the site.

We do not oppose any creation of a concommercial site to promote the MySQL 
server. But we do mind ... (see my comment above).


 You mention specifically that you believe we have no right to the
 domain name.  The facts are that we believe we have a right under
 an agreement that was signed by both Monty and David that provided
 us with broad rights to mysql related names.  In fact we paid a
 significant sum of money for the ability to use those names and
 other items and that same agreement in fact required MySQL
 to be released under the GPL.  Now that MySQL AB has taken on
 venture capital funding and hired new management, they want to
 ignore those agreements.

There WAS an interim agreement from June 2000 to be replaced within 3 
months by a final agreement. We have confirmed to NuSphere in writing the 
termination of the interim agreement. It has not been in force for some time.

For the records, it was only David Axmark who signed it and faxed it to 
Progress. Progress or NuSphere have never sent us a version with their 
signatures.

When it was in force, the interim agreement did NOT provide NuSphere with 
broad rights to use the MySQL name.

Under the agreement, Progress paid a total of USD 312,501 with the last 
check being cut in September 2000. See 
http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html for more information on this.

The comment by Britt on vc funding and new management is under the belt in 
my opinion.


 Your comments about us not participating in any meaninful fashion
 in the open source community are disappointing because it means

MySQL AB is not trying to devalue the investment in Gemini. But there are 
people who believe that NuSphere or Progress paid MySQL AB $2.5 million and 
that NuSphere is somehow part of the MySQL server development team, none of 
which is true. Therefore we have communicated that the development of the 
MySQL server is done by and funded by MySQL AB alone.

 Summit with OSDN, and the Linux Legacy through Geek Cruises to name

Escaping * character in a RLIKE? How? Help?

2001-07-14 Thread xris

I have a very simple query that used to work and then recently stopped.  It
goes something like:

SELECT name FROM Items WHERE category RLIKE '^\* new cat \*';

Now, I'm pretty familiar with how regex works, and I was pretty sure that
when I put a \ in front of the * it would interpret it as a * instead of the
0 or more of previous operator.  But it's giving me the following error:

Got error 'repetition-operator operand invalid' from regexp

I really need to figure this out.  I was told by someone to double-escape
them (like  ^\\* new..), but to me that would read as 0 or more \
characters at the beginning of the string, not a string that starts with
the * character which is what I need.

Help?

In the interests of stemming some of the flood of invective being
directed against NuSphere...


I am an employee of NuSphere.

Those of you who feel it necessary immediately to jump up and denounce
NuSphere for their sins, please ask yourself:  Do you think I'd work for
them if I thought they were a bunch of scumbags?  They're not.  NuSphere
is interested in promoting MySQL, not in destroying it.  For example,
they pay me a salary to support my writing about MySQL full time, and
they make no demands that I mention NuSphere in my books (though they're
of course happy if I do).  You'll see some of the fruit of this support
next month when the MySQL/Perl book comes out - a book that I hope will
be of some service to the MySQL community.

The dispute will be worked out by the parties involved.  Nobody's happy
about it, but resolving it is difficult because both sides feel they
have a reasonable position.  You can see this from the messages being
posted by the directors of MySQL AB and NuSphere.  And of course once
the lawyers get involved, things don't get any easier.

Make your opinions known, certainly.  You're all part of the MySQL
community and your views are valuable.  But please, leave the flames out
of it. They're not constructive.

Please be clear what I'm saying.  I am an employee of (not an apologist
for) NuSphere, and I'm not saying don't criticize NuSphere. I'm saying
that flames aren't helping anything, particularly if you are not in
possession of all the facts behind the dispute.

No one at NuSphere has asked that I write this.  They've asked me for
feedback, but no one has suggested that I take a side.  I am reluctant
to do so anyway because it's not clear that there's any merit in doing

Re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Thomas J Keller

Marten Mickos wrote: 
 In response to the posting by Thomas J Keller of Britt Johnston's text, I
 feel I have to come with the following comments.
 (The quoted text marked with   is by Britt Johnston)
  mysql.org has not been publically announced and it will take
  some time for it to become the thriving community it is destined
  to be.  My hope is that rather than fighting it, you can join it
  and be part of an even more vibrant mysql community.
 We do not oppose communities that form around a common interest in our
 product. But we do mind if our trademark is used without authorisation. So
 we are not fighting the community, we are fighting the violations of our
 rights.
 Is there any reason for not operating the site under the nusphere.org name
 or some other name?

  Now on this point, in consideration of the assertions of a temporary agreement
which MySQL AB asserts to have formally terminated, NuSphere would appear to be
violating MySQL AB's trademark.  Marten's question regarding another name is
quite proper.  Unless NuSphere can provide solid evidence that there is a
current formal agreement in force at this time, my opinion (humble, not huble,
or otherwise *grin*) is that NuSphere should post-haste transfer mysql.org to
MySQL AB.  This is a sticky legal point, since both parties would appear to have
differing interpretations of the nature, term and status of any agreement
between them.

  It is disappointing that our friends from MySQL AB seem threatened
  by the creation of noncommercial site to promote mysql that they
  jump in and announce it themselves to the world and claim they
  were not informed.  The facts are they were informed and invited
  to participate, their response is what you have read.
 
 The last sentence is untrue. MySQL AB was not invited, nor informed of
 this. The last record we have that relates to mysql.org is from early June
 when we asked NuSphere to transfer the domain to us, and Lorne Cooper
 replied that NuSphere refuses to do so. He also noted that NuSphere had not
 populated the site. 
 We do not oppose any creation of a concommercial site to promote the MySQL
 server. But we do mind ... (see my comment above).

   Another point where the two parties would appear to have differing
interpretations of events.
 
  You mention specifically that you believe we have no right to the
  domain name.  The facts are that we believe we have a right under
  an agreement that was signed by both Monty and David that provided
  us with broad rights to mysql related names.  In fact we paid a
  significant sum of money for the ability to use those names and
  other items and that same agreement in fact required MySQL
  to be released under the GPL.  Now that MySQL AB has taken on
  venture capital funding and hired new management, they want to
  ignore those agreements. 
 There WAS an interim agreement from June 2000 to be replaced within 3
 months by a final agreement. We have confirmed to NuSphere in writing the
 termination of the interim agreement. It has not been in force for some time.
 For the records, it was only David Axmark who signed it and faxed it to
 Progress. Progress or NuSphere have never sent us a version with their
 signatures.

   This is in essence the same differing interpretation problem as noted above.

 When it was in force, the interim agreement did NOT provide NuSphere with
 broad rights to use the MySQL name. 
 Under the agreement, Progress paid a total of USD 312,501 with the last
 check being cut in September 2000. See
 http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html for more information on this.

   Well, in the face of radically different interpretations, I see a few
possible ways to resolve this:

First: take it to court.  Potentially expensive, and probably not good for
public relations for either party. 

Second: (and I fully note that there could be any number of valid and compelling
reasons for either or both parties to find this suggestion untenable) post the
text of the agreement here, for the community to peruse.  This suggestion
carries with it an implicit expectation that the parties would be expected to
abide by the opinion of the community (assuming an overwhelming majority
interpret the agreement one way over another).

Third:  NuSphere could, in the interests of peace within the community, transfer
the domain name to MySQL AB, and MySQL AB could back off the GPL violation issue
(this presumes that NuSphere brings themselves into compliance with GPL
immediately).  Intent is an important issue here.  It is entirely possible that
NuSphere understood their procedures to be in compliance with GPL, and that
MySQL believes them not to be, with both parties acting in good faith.  NuSphere
can confirm their good faith by accepting that their release is problematic and
rectifying the situation immediately.  MySQL AB can confirm their good faith by
accepting this gesture and relenting on the GPL licensing issue.

Did you try the advice you were given?
What happened?

I decided to follow my own advice and check it out:

mysql select '* new cat * ' rlike '^\* new cat \*';

Okay, that matches what you got.  Now to try double-\\ with a string
that should match:

mysql select '* new cat * ' rlike '^\\* new cat \\*';
+-+
| '* new cat * ' rlike '^\\* new cat \\*' |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

And with a string that should not:

+--+

Looks like the double-\ is the correct thing.

Your reasoning about why it wouldn't work is correct, except for
one thing: one backslash gets stripped at the lexical level during
the query parsing phase.  That leaves the other one to be interpreted
during query execution.  That's why \\* and \* doesn't.

Is the ^ an escape character so you can enter a comma within ' '   ?
I couldn't find reference to ^ as an escape character in php docs.

RE: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Sander Pilon

 
 This is very interesting, this Open Source Legal Resolution ;-)
 

Indeed it is.

The thing I find most interesting, and a bit scary, is the way people
seem to pick sides. 

For example - vermin, scum, obscure, are just a few of the words
recently used to describe the likes of NuSphere. (And to the surprise of
many, including myself, that includes our beloved Mr. DuBois.) And
people base their opinions on what!? The statements of the opposing
party. 

Did people verify the claims of MySQL and NuSphere? Was there an
agreement? Was it, indeed, interim? Is a termination sent by fax even
legal? Does MySQL even hold the US trademarks? (Answer: No, not yet as
far as the online trademark searchengine is concerned - their
application is in the mail.)

An open conflict like this is indeed interesting, but people have
based and will be basing their opinions on a distorted or incomplete
picture of the whole conflict, because by nature, statements by two
fighting parties are biased and should not be trusted until verfied
true. This is a dangerous game to play, and the side with the best PR
team / largest fanbase will always win the favor of the public. (See:
Microsoft product sales figures.)

Accepting that NuSphere employees are the spawn of the devil just
because MySQL (or anyone else) says they are is not something I'm
prepared to do. Where I live people are innocent until *proven* guilty,
and so far there has been little real proof. Just both sides of a story,
but little proof that can be easily verified by 3rd parties.

Don't get me wrong here. The fact that there is a conflict at all means
that someone, somewhere did something wrong. But it is most likely not a
simple case of a good guy / bad guy.

I just hope that people can post their comments in a rational way,
without jumping to conclusions too fast. (Just what Mr. DuBois said a
few posts back.)

And about the domain - I think that MySQLs claim on the .ORG domain is a
lot weaker then they want us to believe. (no US trademark YET, no
attempt to gain control of the .NET and .ORG for the past years with the
excuse 'friendly' people controlled them, etc) BUT, I still think that
NuSphere should give it up. For the following reasons: 

1) It was just launched, it does most likely not have a real large
userbase yet, so changing it now would be relatively simple and cheap. 

2) It is confusing. (The .COM/.ORG stuff) 

3) Someday soon, MySQL will probably be granted their US trademarks, and
when that happens it will be pried out of their hands. Since we're
talking about a non-profit site, the fees that NuSphere is going to have
to pay to lawyers to defend themselves would basically a waste of money.
Is the .ORG domain worth that much to NuSphere? 

4) It pisses off MySQL AB. Clearly it's in their best interest to be
friends with MySQL AB. 

5) Although MySQLs pressrelease (on MySQL.COM, Slashdot, etc) telling
people NOT to visit MySQL.ORG probably had the effect that the site had
more visitors then ever before (*1), it still was in a somewhat negative
way they came to that site. Getting rid of the domain might get rid of
some nasty memories of some potential clients. 

(*1 - who wouldn't want to see a real obscure website?! I only went to
see MySQL.ORG after I saw MySQL AB's pressrelease. And with that thing
posted on slashdot, my bet is that MySQL.ORG had a truckload of traffic
most starting websites would be jealous of.)

And last - 

6) IMHO, two MySQL community sites is one too many. Why don't you guys
play together? NuSphere stated they wanted to create a non-profit site,
maybe ran by a 3rd party. MySQL AB said they wanted to expand their
MySQL site. If you take a few steps back from this conflict then I'd see
no reason not to cooperate. But then again, that's just me and my ?0.02

re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread Thomas J Keller

 The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that someone needs to
offer the following observations:

  It is unfortunate that so many people within this community are so eager to
assume the worst about a company, simply because they ARE a company.  Not all
corporations are Mickey$lu$h (I guess my biases in this regard are obvious), and
not all corporate leaders are Bill Gates.

  Bring in business to make a profit is not a bad thing.  One might note that
David and Monty are in business to make a profit, and by their own statements,
this was always their intent.  Good on them!

  As has been pointed out by several people, including myself, some of the
issues involved in this dispute are very tricky and difficult to understand,
even if one had ALL the relevant information to hand.  The fact is that very few
(perhaps 3?) of the participants in this brouhaha have more than a modicum of
real information available to them.

  There have been comments made by both parties which are arguably less than
totally correct.  There have also been many comments made that perhaps should
not have been.  Big surprise, with both money and pride involved, people get hot
under the collar when others don't see things THEIR way!

   The people who tend to become involved heavily in the Open Source community
are often highly opinionated (who, ME?!) and quick to form judgements.  This can
work against us as a community when it leads to the kinds of recrminations and
attacks we have seen here.

   The unfortunate truth is that when millions or billions of dollars are on the
line, and when highly sophisticated legal concepts such as intellectual property
and licensing are involved, it often requires people with special training (OK,
I'll say it: lawyers) to sort things out.  It is important to realize also that
all any lawyer can do is offer their opinion and interpretation of the law. 
Only the Courts can offer a final statement as to the actual meanings of laws,
and even then, things are seldom clear cut.  Remember that laws have no inherent
validity or meaning.  They are abstract intellectual creations dreamed up by
human beings, and are subject to the inherent inefficiencies of language.

   I seriously doubt that anyone from either of these companies has any
nefarious intentions.  Although some things have been said on both sides which
may turn out not to be true, I rather suspect that this is due to differences of
opinion, coupled with a little anger, rather than intentional mendacity.

   So...the upshot of all this, I suppose is:  cool off, everyone.  Let's see if
the folks at MySQL AB and NuSphere can resolve this to their mutual
satisfaction.  Above all, PLEASE, let's stop calling each other names.  None of
us are little children here.

GPL violation or not, part of my decisions are always based on morals (hard

 Do not jump to the conclusion that I am starting out to be an apologist
 for NuSphere/Progress.  It is wise to honor the old dictum
 Never ascribe malice to that which can be attributed to ignorance.
 I am not sure if this type of emotional leap is proper until a
 bit more information comes out and some of the heat dies down.

 There are always two sides to every situation.

 There are two issues, the domain mysql.org, and the other, more
 difficult to understand, the aspect of GPL violation.

 The domain/trademark issue will get settled by legal means and
 there is enough of a corpus of law precedent that a settlement
 and/or judgement will occur.  I personally do not see such a great
 importance of mysql.org in this matter.  Obviously, many of you
 on this list do not share this opinion.

 Now most of us in/using Open Source probably do not _really_
 understand the meaning and ramifications of the GPL.  We _think_
 we know, and we certainly have a feeling about what the GPL
 means.  Ironically, Richard Stallman's take is, in a legal sense,
 crystal clear compared with the GPL.  NuSphere indicated that
 is was going to put their products under the GPL.  They have
 indicated that Gemini will be GPL's.  Are they to be punished
 for being late in doing so?  NuSphere supports Open Source
 and is public on this position.

 The irony of this situation is that it _may_ be to the advantage
 of the Open Source community if NuSphere is not knee-jerked
 pilloried, and tarred and feathered out of the minds of the
 Open Source community.  It is complete speculation upon my
 part that ultimately, MySQL will be replaced in all those
 embedded applications where Progress now sits.  Though it
 may change in the near future, commercial developers needing
 an embedded database usually prefer a solution like Progress
 because of the Company-behind-it, rather than have MySQL.
 MySQL may/would gain credibility if Progress is replaced.

 Now, I hope this is all settled to everybody's benefit.
 It may not be possible because of emotion.  But I know that
 I would personally like to see MySQL start to creep into
 large manufacturing management systems and other systems
 where Progress now has a significant hold.  Then, and only
 then, will the community be able to easily tap into MySQL and
 offer better intranets, tools,  and other solutions.

 So, I am suggesting to everyone to just wait and see.  It
 might not be as bad as it seems...

Newbie Questions

2001-07-14 Thread Bob Rea

OK, mr newbie here. I'm trying to lern SQL using MySQL. I have a 
general SQL book, Sams Teach Yourself  SQL in 10 Minutes, by Ben 
Forta. I also have mSQL and MySQL fromO'Reilly. And of course i have 
the MySQL Manual.

The 10 minute book's syntax sometimes doesn't fit MySQL's, so I try 
to find the MySQL way by trial and error, or ny the O'Reilly book. 
Some times this works and sometines I fail. For instance, the 10 min 
book has a query:

SELECT cust_contact
FROM Customers
WHERE cust_contact LIKE '[JM]%'
ORDER BY cust_contact;

The reply is:
Empty set (0.02 sec) 

So I need to know the correct syntax for this query, such that it 
returns only cust_contacts which begin with J or M.

I have searched the Manual and so on.

Point me in the right direction or something.

Re: mysql.org

2001-07-14 Thread portasio

community,

open source, gpl, tld's..

these are long, long discussions, some pertinent, though not to
this valuable list. i've read many opinions, respect some,
but these are for lawyers, not hackers (in linus' sense of
the word). nevertheless, there is a message for us nerds:
let's keep it open!!! our greatest allies will be our peers,
not some guys from legal. so, write decent code, open it wide,
and rejoice.

when this all started, i waited anxiously for monty's post. took
me a while to digest it (may i suggest all of the involved in
the whole discussion do so as well). my humble conclusion is:
i'm really glad mysql ab is focused on development and training,
and not on courts and deals. i believe many in our programming
community feel the same.

monty, keep it up!!!
as north americans would say: mysql kicks some serious a**.
btw: thank you so very much.

  Well, what a mess.  It is regretable that this legal issue needs to
  be aired so publically that was certainly not my preference.  I also

  support - thanks.

 It is good to see some discussion taking place here.  Perhaps it will
 help make the issues a bit clearer to the folks who have been
 wondering what they heck is going on (that's the majority of the
 community).

  As far as NuSphere's contribution to MySQL, it is disappointing to
  see our efforts discounted so quickly.

 I don't think that folks are discounting your efforts.  In many cases,
 folks knew little of what NuSphere had really done to date.

  The Gemini table handler itself is already part of MySQL and is
  licensed under the GPL - go find ha_gemini.cc and you will see it we
  checked it in long ago in V4 and again in 3.23 when V4 was late.
  The Gemini component itself will be released via mysql.org as GPL as
  previously announced - note that Gemini itself is not a derivative
  of MySQL in any way - it's roots date back to long before MySQL
  existed.

 There's another source of confusion for people.  The difference
 between the Gemini table handler and the Gemini component itself.
 What is the difference?  (I think I might know, but I suspect that
 it's not clear to folks who haven't heard you talk about Gemini in
 person.)

  Finally independent of the rest of this.  I have the highest respect
  for Monty and what he has done creating MySQL.

 A sentiment we all share.

 And some (many?) of us realize that NuSphere has a done some
 incredible work in an effort to take MySQL up a notch.  NuSphere's
 talent and responsiveness was clear to me during the Gemini beta
 program.

  I'm certain we can move beyond this and make MySQL an even stronger
  open source project and I encourage everyone move to a constructive
  dialog.

 I suspect that in the short term, the legal battles are likely to
 become less interesting to this community than:

   * Being presented with the mysql.org site and not understanding
 where it came from, who runs it, and why they should go there.

   * The affects that this will have on the community.  Are there going
 to be separate mysql.org hosted mailing lists which overlap in
 funtionality and audience with those hosted here?

   * Will it become less clear where users should go for information,
 documentation, downloads, and so on?

   * Understanding the differences between NuSphere's MySQL and MySQL
 AB's MySQL distributions.  I know that they are relatively few
 now, but will that continute to be the case?  Who knows.

 Those are the sort of concerns which motivated my statements in the
 MySQL press release a few days ago.  I think that the MySQL community
 today is excellent--one of the best surrounding any piece of Open
 Source software today: Linux, FreeBSD, Perl, Apache, PHP, Python,
 MySQL, etc.  They all have great communities.

 None of us want to see the community sidetracked, fragmented, or
 otherwise damaged as a result of this.  Having read about the old
 XEmacs fork from GNU Emacs, that sort of stuff doesn't sound pleasant.

 We have a great forum for discussion right here.  I'd suggest that
 when feasible, folks should talk to the community.  Find out what
 folks here think about having a new/different web site, forked code,
 or whatever may be brewing.  Unlike slashdot, folks here are apt to
 think before writing the first thing that pops into their heads.

 Given that this mailing list has been a large part of the MySQL
 community, it'd be great to see folks from NuSphere on it in a while.

   Our interpretation is that even under the interim agreement,

 Then, Marten, tell us what the status is of the trademark 
 application? Under way, finished, or in the mail as

no final determination as to the registrability of the mark has been
made.

Other trademarks that are related:

ENHANCED MYSQL(TM)
OFFICIAL MYSQL(TM)

(Tried looking for MAXSQL, but didn't find anything.)

Real trademarks seem to have a status of Registered.  But contact your
local trademark attorney for the fineprint and other legal babble about
what it all means. IANAL, So for all I know in the mail is good enough
to claim it.

Other sites that violate the trademark (not including obscure

Marten Mickos wrote:
  In response to the posting by Thomas J Keller of Britt Johnston's text, I
  feel I have to come with the following comments.
  (The quoted text marked with   is by Britt Johnston)
   mysql.org has not been publically announced and it will take
   some time for it to become the thriving community it is destined
   to be.  My hope is that rather than fighting it, you can join it
   and be part of an even more vibrant mysql community.
  We do not oppose communities that form around a common interest in our
  product. But we do mind if our trademark is used without authorisation. So
  we are not fighting the community, we are fighting the violations of our
  rights.
  Is there any reason for not operating the site under the nusphere.org name
  or some other name?

   Now on this point, in consideration of the assertions of a temporary 
 agreement
which MySQL AB asserts to have formally terminated, NuSphere would appear 
to be
violating MySQL AB's trademark.  Marten's question regarding another name is
quite proper.  Unless NuSphere can provide solid evidence that there is a
current formal agreement in force at this time, my opinion (humble, not huble,
or otherwise *grin*) is that NuSphere should post-haste transfer mysql.org to
MySQL AB.  This is a sticky legal point, since both parties would appear 
to have
differing interpretations of the nature, term and status of any agreement
between them.

   It is disappointing that our friends from MySQL AB seem threatened
   by the creation of noncommercial site to promote mysql that they
   jump in and announce it themselves to the world and claim they
   were not informed.  The facts are they were informed and invited
   to participate, their response is what you have read.
 
  The last sentence is untrue. MySQL AB was not invited, nor informed of
  this. The last record we have that relates to mysql.org is from early June
  when we asked NuSphere to transfer the domain to us, and Lorne Cooper
  replied that NuSphere refuses to do so. He also noted that NuSphere had not
  populated the site.
  We do not oppose any creation of a concommercial site to promote the MySQL
  server. But we do mind ... (see my comment above).

Another point where the two parties would appear to have differing
interpretations of events.

   You mention specifically that you believe we have no right to the
   domain name.  The facts are that we believe we have a right under
   an agreement that was signed by both Monty and David that provided
   us with broad rights to mysql related names.  In fact we paid a
   significant sum of money for the ability to use those names and
   other items and that same agreement in fact required MySQL
   to be released under the GPL.  Now that MySQL AB has taken on
   venture capital funding and hired new management, they want to
   ignore those agreements.
  There WAS an interim agreement from June 2000 to be replaced within 3
  months by a final agreement. We have confirmed to NuSphere in writing the
  termination of the interim agreement. It has not been in force for some 
 time.
  For the records, it was only David Axmark who signed it and faxed it to
  Progress. Progress or NuSphere have never sent us a version with their
  signatures.

This is in essence the same differing interpretation problem as noted 
 above.

  When it was in force, the interim agreement did NOT provide NuSphere with
  broad rights to use the MySQL name.
  Under the agreement, Progress paid a total of USD 312,501 with the last
  check being cut in September 2000. See
  http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html for more information on this.

Well, in the face of radically different interpretations, I see a few
possible ways to resolve this:

First: take it to court.  Potentially expensive, and probably not good for
public relations for either party.

Second: (and I fully note that there could be any number of valid and 
compelling
reasons for either or both parties to find this suggestion untenable) post the
text of the agreement here, for the community to peruse.  This suggestion
carries with it an implicit expectation that the parties would be expected to
abide by the opinion of the community (assuming an overwhelming majority
interpret the agreement one way over another).

Third:  NuSphere could, in the interests of

Hassan:

I respectfully disagree with your suggestion that such a site
would spread confusion and give discredit to MySQL.

I think it is a fine distinction to
say the (slight?) difference between mysql.com and mysql.org
would lead to confusion.  Are you confused by the extant
mysql.net?  What about xmysql.com?  There have been arguments
by both parties that these so-called support sites are in
everyone's interest.  This practice is common, just think
of linux-help.com/linux-support.com/linux-this-or-that.com
ad infinitum, and all these play in certain niches without
necessarily confusing the linux user, or to-be linux user.

Anyway, I cannot see this but a pure-and-simple trademark
issue, as far as the mysql.org site name is concerned.

innobase 4gb rows

2001-07-14 Thread ryc

I have a table that were created using innobase compiled with 64kb page
tables. Now I want to upgrade to the newer version of innobase that supports
the larger row sizes but as it mentions on the innobase .39b download page
( http://www.innodb.com/download.html ) I must export the tables, and then
import them again after upgraded to the new innodb code. The table has 
10million rows and takes up 15-20 gigs of disk space, I dont think that
mysqldump will work so well on this table. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

Also I have been trying to find a data set that reproduces the two column
index bug that was discovered a few weeks back, but I have not been able
to... or rather, I havent been able to commit enough time. I should be able
too in the following week.

Re: innobase 4gb rows

 I have a table that were created using innobase compiled with 64kb

 I must export the tables, and then import them again after upgraded
 to the new innodb code. The table has  10million rows and takes up
 15-20 gigs of disk space, I dont think that mysqldump will work so
 well on this table.

By work so well do you mean work quickly?

It may be faste to convert the tables to MyISAM tables, upgrade, and
convert them back to InnoDB tables.  But I've not compared the speed
of the two operations.  It's more of a hunch.

MySQL on OpenBSD 2.8

2001-07-14 Thread Brian E. Beck

I guess I've lurked long enough.

I am a relative newbie to MySQL (and to all things SQL, actually.)

I am running MySQL 3.23.37 on my OpenBSD 2.8 server.  (I currently support 
6 different, non-related databases on the server)

Here is the problem...  MySQL seems to open too many threads and die... 
(i.e., if I run top mysqld sems to take up over 90% of the CPU cycles, 
for hours, if I let it.)  Once it does this, I can't shut it down with 
mysqladmin.  It will not respond to anything... No queries, no mysqladmin 
functions.  Nothing.  I had a friend of mine write a monitor script, 
which simply checks every 45 seconds to see the CPU usage of mysqld, and if 
it is over 90% for longer than 2 minutes, it kill -9's it, and restarts it. 
 (A VERY sloppy solution)

We did not have this problem when we were running MySQL 3.23.36 on RedHat 
7.0.  ( I didn't modify the codes I use either)

We have recompiled, to update the threads, etc.

Can someone help me figure this out, and if so what logs do I need to send 
to the list to help determine the problem?  (Or should I upgrade to 
3.23.39?)

I appreciate all that you advise, as I have been reading this list for a 
while now, and have gained many pearls of wisdom from it.

 Friends,
 Wouldn't it be better if we kept the issues to be taken up by lawyers, once
 they have already been hired and keep this discussion forum to serve the
 larger purpose for which it was meant to ?

 As a simple user of services, I am feeling very disappointed at the sight
 of some of my idols flaming. I would love to have them in their coolest
 behaviour, as quite often, such remarks/counter remarks utilises that part
 of the brain, whose life, as we all know is short. Let the brains
 contribute positively to the growth of mankind, the coming generations.

 Let us not do something silly, that would make our future generations laugh
 at us.

 This doesn't mean that I and other commoners don't have a preference, I
 certainly do have one, but I wouldn't like to take out your useful time in
 analysing it.

 Cheers and God Bless.
 Raju

Subject: Does anyone remember a MySQL to Oracle schema migration tool?


 I recall that maybe a month or four ago someone posted a message (on
 the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list I think) saying that they'd written a
 utility to parse MySQL create table statements and write out equivalent
 Oracle create table statements.
 
 I remember replying to the message (possibly privately) and I'd like to
 take a look at the utility now, but I can't find the message now
 (either in my email or online archives).
 
 Can anyone help out?
 
 Thanks.
 
 Tim.
