D6 dbExpress works very well for me, but I think it only comes with D6 Enterprise. The myODBC driver is another way to go, in which case you could probably use the BDE. There is an ADO driver for mySQL somewhere as well. I could never get it work but if it could be made to work then you could use the ADO components distributed with D6 Pro and Enterprise.

MySQL loses databases
Hello, Earlier i posted my message here, but haven't got any real solution. So now I'll try to post with some more details. I have a FreeBSD 4.6 box, dual cpu, runing MySQL. It runs with linuxthreads enabled and it is under heavy load all the time. Few weeks ago it started to work a little strange. MySQL runs ok for some period of time, and then it disallows connections from users, saying 'access not allowed for user@localhost'. Root can connect without problems. The strange thing is, that MySQL somehow 'loses' it's databases. When I connect as root, 'show databases' output gives me one database... vi.recover. So I suppose, that MySQL drops it's path somewhere, but I'm not sure why. The only workaround I have for now is run database check every minute, and restart MySQL if needed. After restart everything looks OK for some time ( one - two days)... This problem was with 3.23.49, and now I saw this with 3.23.51 too. Any ideas what could be wrong?

I read what the manual has to say about a query like this: SELECT MIN(key_part2),MAX(key_part2) FROM table_name where key_part1=10 However I want to do this: SELECT MAX(key_part1) FROM table_name where key_part1 10 also what I want to do is basically equivalent to this: SELECT key_part1 FROM table_name WHERE key_part1 10 ORDER BY key_part1 DESC LIMIT 1 In testing the second statement seems slower than the max() for some reason though. Is there anyway to get close to a O(logN) search time on these queries? Thanks again, Dave -Original Message- From: Dave Dutcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2002 1:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Query Optimization I was wondering if somebody could give me any suggestions on how to optimize a query I am working on. This is my table: CREATE TABLE testdata ( Begin char(9) NOT NULL default '', End char(9) NOT NULL default '', UNIQUE KEY BeginEndIndex (Begin,End) ) TYPE=MyISAM; It is a table of ranges. i.e. 1-5, 7-11, 2-24000. None of the ranges overlap, and I'm trying to write a query to find a range that contains a specific number such as 500,000. So this is what I've written for a query: select Begin, End from testdata where begin = '00500' and end = '00500' On a table with 100,000 records the explain command tells me it is using the BeginEndIndex, it says the key length is 9, and that it has to look through about 27,000 records. I would like to be able to configure the query or indexes , so it will only have to look through a couple records if possible. MySQL is super fast at a query like this: select Begin from testdata where Begin = '00500'; So I had the idea of trying this: select max(Begin) from testdata where Begin = '00500'; I was hoping that it would do the same as the simple select, and then because it has a sorted index it wouldn't have to search the previous records to find the max, but explain still puts this at about 27,000 records. Has anyone else tried writing a query similar to this? Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Dave Hi Dave, IMHO you can speed up your queries if you convert your columns to (unsigned) int if possible. It should be much faster to compare two integers (4 bytes,2 assembler instructions) than comparing two strings (9 bytes,10 assembler instructions).

There's nothing wrong with it for storage reasons only, but many database developers use lengths to restrict the size of the entries.

Once I have that, and I know how to separate the values, then I can
easily put them into a database.

MySQL returns char strings as they were inserted. For correct sorting you can set up hebrew character set starting mysqld with --default-character-set=hebrew MySQL doesn't have arabic character set. As a quick solution for correcting sorting is storage your data as binary in BLOB or VARCHAR BINARY columns. You can also add arabic support by yourself.

Which binary version for which platform?
I have a product for which I would like to use mySql to hold information used in a product demonstration. The product runs on Windows, HP, Solaris and AIX. The demonstration (and the mySql database) will be distributed with the product. I am trying to determine the correct binary distribution of mySql to distribute to end users. I would like to use stable releases only, in binary format. For Windows, the correct release is pretty clear. However, say a customer has HP 11.x. The current stable release on mysql.org is for hp 10.20 (mysql-3.23.51-hp-hpux10.20-hppa1); there is a release on sourceforge for hp 11.0 (mysql-hpux-11.0-hppa2), but is that considered stable? If not, can they use the binary for 10.20 instead? What if the customer later upgrades to a newer version of HP - must they then use a different version of the binary? Similar question pertain to Solaris (currently 2.8) and AIX (currently 4.3). Thanks for any pointers.

Hello, What you say below is of great interest to me. Currently I have been writing front end code to handle the size issue but I would like to be open to other possibilities.

There's nothing wrong with it for storage reasons only, but many database developers use lengths to restrict the size of the entries. For example storing the zipcodes from more than one country might need at max 15 characters, so why allowing 255, preventing MySQL to raise an error, if the ZIP is 100 chars long.

AFAICT, there should be no differences on execution speed. We tested a lot with JOINS and found out, that the more expressions in the WHERE clause the slower it gets, this is very obvious of course, but it is surprisingly true for JOINS too. If you mean writing JOIN with ON clause instead of , with WHERE clause, yes, that's because - AFAIK - both are converted to the same internal representation. That's why I said, there should be no difference. We tried to join about 10-15 tables together with LEFT JOIN and the old ','. The processing time differed drastically. Of course, LEFT JOIN and , (or INNER JOIN) are not the same thing. LEFT JOIN has to do more work, depending on the table content. On the other hand, LEFT JOIN fixes the join order, which can give a speed benefit, if the optimizer chooses the wrong join order. You would have to compare with STRAIGHT_JOIN set to exclude this. We tested this about 6 months ago with 3.23.36, so this may have be untrue now. BTW the processing time was about 1 second for the new syntax and up to 30 seconds for the old method. Do you really mean , with old syntax and inner join with new syntax? I have a hard time believing this, as my experience is differs.

So I suppose, that MySQL drops it's path somewhere, but I'm not sure why. The only workaround I have for now is run database check every minute, and restart MySQL if needed.

how to retrieve data from two table?
Hi I have be scratching my head with this for a few days. I want to select data from 2 tables conditionally. 1 table has users, the other times relating to the users. I want to create a query that will select the user from the users table and if they have any time data against them (for that day) return that also. If there is not data for that day only the user data should be returned. If I do: SELECT u.id,u.surname,t.* FROM users u LEFT OUTER JOIN times t ON (u.id =t.id) WHERE u.id = 22; I get: 22|Price|NULL|NULL| NULL| NULL| NULL| NULL| NULL| NULL Which I could work with but once I add AND t.date = (current_date) I get 0 records returned and I need the users.id an users.surname.

FIND_IN_SET index problem
Hi, I have a problem where the index for a SET column does not get used
once I link in another table.
The output to explain:
mysql explain select count(*) from NS_articles where
find_in_set('approved', artFlags) 0;

| NS_articles | index | NULL | artFlags | 2 | NULL | 560
| where used; Using index |
+-+---+---+--+-+--+--+-+
This is good, the index on artFlags is being used. Now I link in another
table:
mysql explain select count(*) searchTotal from NS_articles nsa,
NS_editors nse where find_in_set('approved', nsa.artFlags) 0 and
nsa.artEditor = nse.id;
+---+---+---+---+-++--+-+

Using index |
| nsa | ref | artEditor | artEditor | 32 | nse.id | 19 |
where used |
+---+---+---+---+-++--+-+
What happened to the index on artFlags? The table link uses indexes
which is good, but now artFlags is doing a raw table scan.
TIA

Once I have done the ProductID I should then be able to do the UserID using

executing it!!!

strange backquote problem
Hi, On my application's setup.php I have quite simple MySQL queries like DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `ee_test` Now, some users (perhaps 5 out of 1000) complain that they get an SQL error on the first query with backquotes, and when I provided them with a setup file without any backquotes (luckily all my table and row names are very simple) like... DROP TABLE IF EXISTS ee_test ...and they reported that it worked just fine. Some users had an older MySQL, but this has been reported happen also in e.g. 3.23.39. PHP used is always 4.0.6 or newer. Any ideas why some MySQL's give error with standard backquotes and how to fix this??? I'd really like to know what is going on there. http://www.mysql.com/doc/L/e/Legal_names.html tells backquotes really must be there.

Which binary fro which platforms?
I have a product for which I would like to use mySql to hold information used in a product demonstration. The product runs on Windows, HP, Solaris and AIX. The demonstration (and the mySql database) will be distributed with the product. I am trying to determine the correct binary distribution of mySql to distribute to end users. I would like to use stable releases only, in binary format. For Windows, the correct release is pretty clear. However, say a customer has HP 11.x. The current stable release on mysql.org is for hp 10.20 (mysql-3.23.51-hp-hpux10.20-hppa1); there is a release on sourceforge for hp 11.0 (mysql-hpux-11.0-hppa2), but is that considered stable?

Do you run multiple servers on WIndows?
It's not uncommon to run multiple MySQL servers on a given Unix system.

Hi, I just downloaded the binaries. I have followed the installation instructions.

am running mysql 3.44 at RHL7.2, how can i setup up mysql to store/show characters of language such as hebrew/arabic? My best suggestion would be to store all your test in Unicode UTF-8 format and use the type BLOB in the table in order to store it. We do this and can quite happily mix english, japanese, russian and whatever else we like in the database (in the same sentance even). -pcf. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

4.0.2 libmysqlclient.so.10 not found
I am in the process of testing out the 4.0 series of MySQL and am having some problems when I try to install the php-mysql RPM. The machine is a RedHat 7.2 i386 box with all current patches. I pulled down the source RPM for 4.0.2-2 and rebuilt the RPM's with debug enabled then installed all the necessary RPM's. Everything seems to be working ok on the MySQL side except that php is asking for libmysqlclient.so.10 and the only library installed with MySQL-shared is libmysqlclient.so.11. I tried a manual symlink from libmysqlclient.so.10 to libmysqlclient.so.11 and the php-mysql still complains that the library isn't present. I installed the php-mysql RPM with --nodeps just to test it out and sure enough I get 'Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect' which is the same message you receive if you don't install the MySQL-shared RPM in the 3.0 series. I tried adding /usr/lib /usr/lib/mysql /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig which yielded the same results. Any thoughts on how I could get this library in place with 4.0.2?

That is defining most of my fields to be varchar(255) even when i know they may only go 100? There's nothing wrong with it for storage reasons only, but many database developers use lengths to restrict the size of the entries. For example storing the zipcodes from more than one country might need at max 15 characters, so why allowing 255, preventing MySQL to raise an error, if the ZIP is 100 chars long.

Is there any easy way to do this when doing the INSERT or SELECT statements? Any ideas would be gratefully received. IMHO, the usual solution to this is to have a seperate column (e.g. sort) for sorting, i.e. a column containing only count ... which will be used in the ORDER BY clause: SELECT title FROM whatever WHERE [...] ORDER BY sort I do not think that there is an easy way, because there is no easy way to know what is special (in my experience there is more than A, An and The to be considered).

Can anyone think of a way round this? Unfortunately you did not provide your change in a full example, therefore I have to guess. I guess you put the additional condition in the WHERE clause. Because it relates to the times table and you want to see the users regardless, you have to put it in the ON clause, too: SELECT u.id, u.surname, t.* FROM users u LEFT OUTER JOIN times t ON u.id = t.id AND t.date = [current_date] WHERE u.id = 22 In other words, whenever you can say I want to see the content of the left table (here: user) even if there is no match in the right one (here: times), you have to put the condition in question into the ON clause of the LEFT JOIN instead of the WHERE clause (which would restrict the end result).
