Parentheses regexp

2002-03-10 Thread aToM

I have a db with some data that includes parentheses, for example:

mysql select Artist, Track from tracks where Artist regexp 'Isley Brothers Band';
+-+---+
| Artist  | Track |
+-+---+
| The Isley Brothers Band | Tell Me It's Just A Rumour (inst) |
+-+---+
1 row in set (0.07 sec)

When I try to actually search on the existance of a parentheses I get an 
error, thus:

mysql select Artist, Track from tracks where Track regexp 'Rumour (';
ERROR 1139: Got error 'parentheses not balanced' from regexp
mysql select Artist, Track from tracks where Track regexp 'Rumour \(';
ERROR 1139: Got error 'parentheses not balanced' from regexp

Anyone know how I can 'escape' the parentheses?

Re: Parentheses regexp

2002-03-10 Thread Toomas Vendelin

Hello aToM,

It works if you double escape character, i.e.

select Artist, Track from tracks where Track regexp 'Rumour \\(';

in your case (just tested myself). Looks pretty weird, but seems to
work.

Text fields with \ characters and querying

2002-03-10 Thread Niek van Baalen

Hello,

I am transfering from Access to MySQL.

I use it for a bibliograhical database.

In bibliograhical data the \ signs stands for semantische opposition.

My problem is that a query like

   select * from term where term=$term$

works with Access but fails in MySQL when a \ character is in the term field


In the manual I read this is of the fact that the \ is used as an escape
sign.
It says one can solve the problem with replacing \ with \\.
My question is how to solve this in the query, because I don't want to
change the values in the term field.

Something like

select replace(term, '\','\\') from term where term=replace('$term$','\','\\
)

I can't get it working.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem.

 Thank you very much. One more thing, would 250k
 be the same as 2500 x -3 ? ie -7500

No, I don't think so, but I must add a small disclaimer: I have worked with
cobol many years ago, and your numbers seems familiar, but I don't really
remember, I am only guessing... :)

 special character:  ] = -0, j = -1, k = -2, l = -3, m = -4,
  
 n = -5, o = -6, p = -7, q = -8, and r = -9.

I think 250k is -2502.

The letter (or ] symbol) represent the last digit, and the result is
multiplied by -1.

Re: mysql from windows to linux

Re: Mysql installation. Help!

2002-03-10 Thread Doug Thompson

If mysql.sock doesn't exist, that is because the server is not running.

I fought the same battle as Mark and ultimately downloaded and installed the RPM for 
3.23.49a from MySQL in place of
the copy that came with RH.  The MySQL RPM installed and came up just like it says in 
the book.  Saves a lot of hair
and dain bramage.

If the server process _is_ running, it may be useful to go through the section on 
binary installation and check those
items to see if your RPM set everything up correctly.  Don't bet on finding anything, 
but it doesn't take long to do
these checks.

 Subject: Re: xml
 
 Frankly, it sounds like this guy understands neither XML nor relational
 databases.
 XML is a general-purpose structured data format.
 The term relational database also connotes a way of storing data, but is
 usually used to refer more to the way the data is organized and efficient
 ways for accessing, transforming, and re-organizing that data.
 SQL, the standard interface to relational databases, is (and let's not
 debate the subtleties of this statement) a programming language for working
 with structured data.
 One aspect of SQL is that you can use it as a format for storing data in
 files, and in this respect I totally agree with your friend: XML is a better
 choice in the vast majority of cases. SQL is not designed for this purpose:
 it's like passing text around by storing it in string constants in C
 language header files. In fact, we largely have the SQL crowd to thank for
 XML- it was designed largely as a platform-independent way for databases to
 exchange data files with one another because there are a lot of problems
 with using SQL for this. As a result, it is *very* easy to write a bridge
 for just about any relational database which returns result sets as XML
 files instead of the traditional row/column format. Many (or most) databases
 support this out of the box.
 Further, because XML is a format for storing structured data and databases
 (both relational and object-oriented) are focused on the storage and
 manipulation of data, you can write an interface that looks like a
 database as a method of accessing data in XML files. There are several
 systems and standards available for doing this to XML. Of course, while
 storing data in XML is very portable and readable, it is orders of magnitude
 less efficient in terms of both storage space and access time when compared
 with the internal formats of true database systems, so patching database
 interfaces onto XML files is a convenience, not a replacement for databases.
 If you really cared about efficiency, you'd just load the XML data into a
 database like mySQL and then access it in the database instead of emulating
 database functionality on the XML file itself.
 Finally, in addition to offering a structured data format, XML offers a
 unified syntax and approach to designing text-based cross-platform
 standards. Over the years a lot of text-based standards have been developed
 and it is from their mistakes in terms of awkward or non-standard syntax,
 portability, and industry adoption that XML has learned. As a result, many
 of these aging standards are being replaced with variants which are based on
 the XML syntax. SQL is no exception. Several query-processing XML languages
 are being developed and deployed, often designed as means of accessing other
 XML data-sources, but with possible long-term goals of replacing legacy data
 processing languages like SQL. Regardless of what comes of these languages,
 they fundamentally affect only the way you access data in a database; they
 do not change the nature of relational databases. As these languages gain
 acceptance, I see no substantial barrier to new query interfaces being added
 to mySQL- whether they come from the mySQL dev team or from other groups who
 simply write bridge code.
 
 And anyone who tells you that any use of joins suggests poor database design
 clearly doesn't know *anything* about relational database design.

Re: Mysql installation. Help!

2002-03-10 Thread Chuck \PUP\ Payne

Ok, if never run it then you have to start once, if I remember right undex
Red Hat, you have to go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do this...

./mysql start that will start it

Then you will need to set it up so it will start later. SuSE you have to
start it once

You will then need to set a password for mysql.

I hope that helps.

what's wrong with EXPLAIN?

2002-03-10 Thread savaidis


I found - once again- strange behaviour on some MySQL functions, i.e. with
EXPLAIN command.
I give one very simple query : explain update mytable set field1 =
round(field1,2) where field10
and it shows me an error!
But when I execute it without 'explain', it updates the fields correctly.
Why?
(field1 is a real of cource and I tried where field10.0 too with the same
error)
If I'm not shure 'explain' is working correctly, then how I will trust to
use it? To show me errors where they doesn't exist?

Help with selects

2002-03-10 Thread Alex Behrens

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to get a form to submit to a mysql script and pull different
variables when you select different values from the form, but I can't get it
to work, can someone help me? Here's my code so far:

?php

if ($submit)


   // process form

  $namequery = mysql_query( SELECT * FROM rahs AS playername WHERE (name =
'$name'));
  $stats = mysql_query( SELECT $stat FROM rahs AS playerstat WHERE (name =
'$name'));

while($set=mysql_fetch_array($namequery)){ 
  printf ( Name: %sbr,$set[playername]); 
}
while($stats2=mysql_fetch_array($stats)):
printf ($stat: %s,$stats2[playerstat]);
endwhile;

} else { 

I know this code is only part of it, but its the only part that needs work. I have a 
working model here: http://www.3d-unlimited.com/rahslax/test6.php

Can someone help me get it to work?

Thanks!

Even though I don't know how to fix my problem, I know yours is possible
because its just a different form type not any different in the code I'm

Re: How to load binary data with Perl DBI?

 It doesn't look same way :(. Normally I've read data from a file

 }
 
 to write it from $file on client's computer to a file associated
 with file handle TO.
 
 Now I obviously need to store the data in a variable. Just pushing
 $data strings into array and then joining (join('',@array) doesn't
 work, because it's not ASCII (file gets corrupted). So, what I do not
 understand, is how to open a filehandle to a database field and then
 print to it? :).

Start with this:

---snip---

my $data;
open FILE, $filename or die;
{
local($/) = undef;
$data = file;
}
close FILE;

---snip---

Then just create a prepared statement handle with a place holder for
the data and execute it, passing $data along the way.  The
Placeholders and Bind Values section of the DBI documentation
explains how to do that.

Re: what's wrong with EXPLAIN?

2002-03-10 Thread Cary

I am probably wrong, but my assumption was that EXPLAIN was used to help 
optimize SELECT statements, not INSERT/UPDATE statements.
So if I am thinking correctly (this time :-), EXPALAIN is erroring for you 
because it only deals with SELECT statements.

VB Application using myODBC?

Hi ppl,

I have an application that used to run on ODBC to MS Access, but the
application started slowing down after a period of time. Some of my
friends suggested that it maybe due to the database. Which is why i am
switching to mySQL.

Can Anyone please provide me with the sample codes to connection and open
the database for mySQL using myODBC??

I have already setup myODBC and tested the data source. It works! :P

Re: Mysql installation. Help!

2002-03-10 Thread Andy Cheng

Thanks for the help.  I got it working. I could connect to mysql from shell 
command. Now I try to connect to mysql using perl.  I installed the DBI::DBD 
module for perl.  I think the DBI::DBD also working since I don't see error 
return running the following code:


#!/usr/bin/perl

use DBI;
$dbh=DBI-connect('DBI:mysql:andy');
my $query=select * from client;
my $sth=$dbh-prepare($query) or die cann't prepare.$dbh-errstr.\n;
$sth-execute;
my $rows;
while(@row=$sth-fetchrow_array)
{my $i;
for $i (0..($sth-{num_of_fields}-1))
{print [.$row[$i].];}
print(\n);
}
$sth-finish;
$dbh-disconnect

I don't understand the code. I copy it from a book. I am trying to print out 
the records returned from a query.  I have a table named client in database 
andy. The table has 2 records.  When I run the above code, I have 2 blank 
lines return.  Could any one tell me what the problem is?  Where could I 
find better documentation on DBI::DBD::mysql stuff for beginner?  man 
DBD::mysql is difficult to understand.  Thanks again for the info.

Ok, if never run it then you have to start once, if I remember right undex
Red Hat, you have to go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do this...

./mysql start that will start it

Then you will need to set it up so it will start later. SuSE you have to
start it once

You will then need to set a password for mysql.

I hope that helps.

2 way replication in Mysql???

2002-03-10 Thread Bram Vaessen

damn anti-spam: sql sql sql sql sql query query query

Hi I have the same database twice.. I know that I can use replication to let
them copy it in one way... but I would like 2 way replication so you can add
records in both databases...
The databases do not alway have a connection... and replication must
only start when user choose so.

Is this possible???

one problem would be to keep the relations ok... can the database handle
this?

another problem is when two people modify the same record..
two things I though of that could fix this: remember the exact changes, so
if one person changes the telephonenumber of record x and another person the
streetnaam of that same record x, then merge the changes.
And if they modify the same column in the same record, then let one database
be superior (possible to choose which one when replication starts?

I don't know if my idea's make sense, but I figured that if the database
could do all these things it would be possible... if it's not possible I
would have to keep a log in the client program...more programming work...

grt,

Bram

 Ok, if never run it then you have to start once, if I remember right undex
 Red Hat, you have to go to /etc/rc.d/init.d and do this...
 
 ./mysql start that will start it
 
 Then you will need to set it up so it will start later. SuSE you have to
 start it once
 
 You will then need to set a password for mysql.

being: MySQL 3.23.49, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP (12M), from
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html. My problem is simply that I
cannot use it after installation! I go into the command prompt, cd
mysql\bin, type mysql and am given a can't connect error.
Has anyone had any experience of this / solution? I have it running on
Win 2K no problem but need to migrate to XP.

Thanks for all input, if not just to quell my cynicism of XP.

Your problem is probably due to not having a grant entrry in the user table 
that allows your user name to log in from 192.168.1.253.

Try GRANTing either that IP, or all IP's (%) access with that user name.

One of two things to do:

When you're inserting the data, figure out the first letter and store 
that as a separate column (letter perhaps)

Second, probably easier to implement in your case with existing data,
is to use LIKE.

$sql = select * from datatable where last_name like '$letter%';

The % is a wildcard symbol, so if $letter is a then a last name
of adams, aames, aston, etc. would all match.

I know there's someway to have mysql do a string manipulation to compare 
just part of a column's data with something, so you could do something 
similar to a 'substr' in PHP - but it's late and I can't remember off 
the top of my head.


Hope that helps...

XML Databases (was Re: xml)

2002-03-10 Thread Joel Rees
Matt Wagner explained:

 However, loading an XML file into your MySQL server (via the C API)
 would be a more difficult and tricky task. DTDs would have to be
 defined, some software would have to manage these DTDs so that the data
 in the XML file could be correctly mapped into your database schema, etc
 etc.

 You can't just load any old XML file and expect MySQL to know how to
 deal with it. There would have to be a DTD (the file that defines the
 format of your XML file) submitted with the XML file so that things
 could be interpretted correctly.

As an information point, most "XML databases" do require a DTD, although
some companies have tools that automatically generate DTDs from documents. A
company I used to work for builds a product which stores XML data as a
database _without_ DTD. (Yes, this is an expensive product.) If anyone is
interested, here's their URL:

http://www.mediafusion.co.jp

There are some English pages there, as well. I no longer work for them, and
they are not connected with my present employer, so please don't ask me
questions about it.

 I'm using MySQL 3.23 on FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE, and I am kinda new to MySQL.

 I created the database  bsd  as root. I need a remote user, connecting
 from any IP and logging in with  shadowgrl  and giving the password 
 testing123  to have full access to the bsd database only.

 After making the bsd database, I did this:

 grant all on db.bsd
 to shadowgrl@

 with grant option;

 I know the last option is dangerous, but I trust this user fully, and the
 server is firewalled to only allow her network in.

 However, when connecting remotely, shadowgrl is getting error: user has no
 access to server

 What am I overlooking?

to be any problems to perform SELECT statements to search for a
particular pattern. Much appreciated.

RE: [PHP] Re: A stupid question...

2002-03-10 Thread Daren Cotter

I would think the easiest way would be to use the string functions of MySQL
itself...then you don't have the overhead of the PHP application having to
check each row of data (a wise person on this board once answered a question
similar to this for me).

Somthing like...

$query = SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1) == 'A');

Using a variable passed in...

$query = SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1) == '$letter');

NOTE: LEFT() is a special function, I'd consider it a derivative of
SUBSTRING()

One of two things to do:

When you're inserting the data, figure out the first letter and store
that as a separate column (letter perhaps)

Second, probably easier to implement in your case with existing data,
is to use LIKE.

$sql = select * from datatable where last_name like '$letter%';

The % is a wildcard symbol, so if $letter is a then a last name
of adams, aames, aston, etc. would all match.

I know there's someway to have mysql do a string manipulation to compare
just part of a column's data with something, so you could do something
similar to a 'substr' in PHP - but it's late and I can't remember off
the top of my head.


Hope that helps...

 Hello,
 I am trying to install and run MySQL on Win XP, the latest release
 being: MySQL 3.23.49, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP (12M), from
 http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html. My problem is simply that
I
 cannot use it after installation! I go into the command prompt, cd
 mysql\bin, type mysql and am given a can't connect error.
 Has anyone had any experience of this / solution? I have it running on
 Win 2K no problem but need to migrate to XP.

 Thanks for all input, if not just to quell my cynicism of XP.

 Paul.

RE: [PHP] Re: A stupid question...

2002-03-10 Thread Demitrious S. Kelly

You haven't given anyone any specifics... nor a link to a phps, so I
cannot be any more specific with my advice


You could probably get away with looking through each of the elements in
the array and using something like 


if ( substr($element, 0, 1) == $letter ( {
Stuff();
}


at least that's how I would go about it if I wanted a quick fix...

$.002 given ;)

cheers

 $query = SELECT * FROM tbl_name WHERE LEFT(last_name, 1) == '$letter');
 NOTE: LEFT() is a special function, I'd consider it a derivative of
 SUBSTRING()

Does MySQL have a function that can selectively return words from a column?

What I'm looking for is the equivalent of rightwords(text,1) which would
return the rightmost word from text. I'm trying to extract the lastname only
from a column which holds the full name (the data is coming from another
database where the first and last names are combined).

Alternatively, is there a way to parse the names during a LOAD?

cheers

Leaking Handles

2002-03-10 Thread Prasad Gurav

Hello,
We are using  MySQL as the database for our product . The frontend is in
VC++ .
The environment is as follows :-
1) MYSQL version 3.43.23
2) MySQL ODBC Driver Version 3.51
3) WIN NT Server Version 4.0 SP6

We have observed that if a global connection to the database is kept open
for a long time the handle count increases .
Approximately 24 per hour . The handle count can be seen by using the Task
Manager .
The application has to work with 2500 simultabeously open tables.
Can some one suggest any solution ?
Best Regards
