enable-local-infile=1 or where can I found older version?

2002-08-01 Thread lana lana

I installed mysql version 3.23.51 on redhat 7.2
(but I had the same problem with version 3.23.49a)
I am not  able to load data form text file
neather with the load command or with mysqlimport
The error message is
The used command is not allowed with this Mysql
version 
I found some mail telling the problem is in the way 
I configured mysql whene I installed it
(I didn't enable local-infile=1)
but with the two release I tried to install (.tar.gz)
you use a particulare configure 
wich start ./scripts/mysql_install_db

In the online documentation they say to give command 
wich are different from the one you find in the file
INSTALL-BiNARY you got with the distribution.

Please can you give some suggestions?

where can I found old realease?

Thank you for help

MySQL bug? - problems with character-set

2002-08-01 Thread Andis Grasis

Hi!

I tested MySQL 3.23.51 under Windows and 3.23.49 under Linux RedHat 7.3 with
such SQL:

select lcase('HERE I TIPED IN SPECIFIC MY LANGUAGE CHARACTERS')

and recieved different results (of course, I used same config file with
case-sensitive configuration).
Result under Linux looks better, under window - wrong, because result
contain lower-case and upper-case symbols together
It's loks like this:'HErE I tIPED MY LaNGUaGE CHaraCtERS'

Now I feel confused, hov I can test, is my conf file.

 Yes, looks like that is the reason. Please make sure to install package gpp,
 which is the GNU C++ compiler - it includes the missing cc1plus and g++

  If you could decipher the config.log file and let me know what is going

 Please install this package and try it again.

Re: repeated crashes (buffer overrun?)

2002-08-01 Thread Heikki Tuuri

Colin,

what version of MySQL you are running and on what OS?

The assertion means there is an attempt to reference a pointer which does
not point to the buffer pool. It might be memory corruption or table
corruption.

If you have updated to new disk drives in Linux, best to check if there are
newer drivers.

Please send me the complete error log so that I can resolve the stack traces
if possible.

Best regards,

Heikki
Innobase Oy

...
We just brought a database back up after bringing it down for a hardware
upgrade (added hard drives) and after we brought it back up it started
crashing a lot.  The queries that crash it vary.  I realize it might be
simple case of database corruption (the data files are now on a
different physical drive) but I thought I'd post it here in case the
logged messages ring any bells.


Relevant info:

InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 24601 in file ../include/buf0buf.ic
line 263
InnoDB: We intentionally generate a memory trap.
InnoDB: Send a detailed bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this
binary
or one of the libraries it was linked agaist is corrupt, improperly
built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning
hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely
wrong
and this may fail

key_buffer_size=268431360
record_buffer=1044480
sort_buffer=1048568
max_used_connections=19
max_connections=200
threads_connected=20
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (record_buffer + sort_buffer)*max_connections = 670938
K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok, if not, decrease some variables in the equation


Any ideas?

- Colin

Very sorry for my childish question, I'm just starting to learn about MySQL
Following is my procedure in fixing the problem of installation on Intel PC,
and Linux RH7.3.

1. RPM installation
2. When execute mysql, there is a message ERROR 2002: Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/msql.sock' (111)
3. Follow the Binary installation
4. At ./scripts/mysql_install_db, there is a message ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown
Complete
5. At ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql , there is a message mysqld ended
6. The mysql command still cannot be executed successfully with the message
in the 2nd step.

In /var/log/mysql.log shows an error message /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld:
can't find file: ./mysql/host.frm (errno: 13), then mysqld ended. There 
is
a comment suggesting that this is about 'permittion denied', but the above
process is run under user 'root@localhost'. Please suggest me how can I 
start
mysql..

Re: THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT: Please suggest me some

2002-08-01 Thread David Ziggy Lubowa


well for one i think you need to make sure after doing mysql_install_db ,
you check the ownership of your diretory , is should be owned by
mysql.deamon, after that try and start mysql i think it should work after,
such errors are ususally due to ownership. hope this helps :)

 Very sorry for my childish question, I'm just starting to learn about MySQL
 Following is my procedure in fixing the problem of installation on Intel PC,
 and Linux RH7.3.

 1. RPM installation
 2. When execute mysql, there is a message ERROR 2002: Can't connect to
 local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/msql.sock' (111)
 3. Follow the Binary installation
 4. At ./scripts/mysql_install_db, there is a message ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown
 Complete
 5. At ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql , there is a message mysqld ended
 6. The mysql command still cannot be executed successfully with the message
 in the 2nd step.

 In /var/log/mysql.log shows an error message /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld:
 can't find file: ./mysql/host.frm (errno: 13), then mysqld ended. There
 is
 a comment suggesting that this is about 'permittion denied', but the above
 process is run under user 'root@localhost'. Please suggest me how can I
 start
 mysql..

Problems When Upgrading to MySQL 4.02

2002-08-01 Thread Cliff

Hi, I am trying to upgrade to 4.02 from 3.23.47 on FreeBSD 4.6. The mysql
database does not want to work for some reason, when I move my old mysql
database over the new one, it does not start up, giving an error about
permissions even though the permissions of that directory are 770
mysql.mysql. Is this is a common bug? I had it running once, but it was not
displaying my webpage correctly with broken images everywhere instead of the
pictures that are grabbed from the db.

Re: maximum number of columns max row size

2002-08-01 Thread Brent Baisley

A rule of thumb I always follow is to design the DB so that you don't 
have to add columns (or modify the structure) unless something unforseen 
comes up (like a new feature). In your case, you are expecting to add 
variables in the future, so I would deign accordingly.
Use rows instead of columns. Using rows also allows you to index all 
variable values and names, since there are only two columns. You 
couldn't index all your columns if you expanded horizontally instead of 
vertically. Besides, it's a heck of a lot easier to add a row than a 
column.


On Thursday, August 1, 2002, at 01:09 AM, Michael Zelina wrote:

 Can someone provide insight into what a good maximum number of
 columns is in a MySQL database?  I have an extensive list of variables
 for an engineering application which number in the 700+ range with
 more additions possible down the road.  My question is:  should I break
 up the variables into several tables for storage, or can I use a
 single table with this many columns.  I cannot find any good rules of
 thumb for how much the number of columns effects performance.

 In trying to consolidate my existing data from Access (which limits 
 columns to 255
 per table) into a single table, I received the following error:

 mysql create table tblsessions select * from tblsessionfiles, 
 tblsessionfiles2,
tblsessionfiles3 WHERE tblsessionfiles2.sessionid_2 = 
 tblsessionfiles.id38
AND tblsessionfiles3.sessionid_3 = tblsessionfiles.id38;
 ERROR 1118: Too big row size. The maximum row size, not counting BLOBs, 
 is 65535. You have to change some fields to BLOB

 I assumed that the maximum row size is the total bytes for the entire 
 row.  My
 questions are:  (1) can I change this without recompling MySQL and (2) 
 should
 I really do this or just stick with three or more separate tables for 
 performance
 reasons.

 FYI, I am running this on a well-equipped server and will probably only 
 have a
 maximum # of concurrent users doing DELETE and INSERT in the range of 
 150 or so.

 Thanks,
 Mike

Selectable results

2002-08-01 Thread Birgit Woods

Hello,
In my web page I have MySQL retrieve information from
a database, and display it in a table. I would like to
make the results of the search selectable, as in, be
able to click on a field in my table and have it
preform a function.  Here is the code for my table. I
would like $myrow[FileName] to be selectable, with
an onClick or onMouseover function. 

if ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
  
  echo table border=6
;

  echo trtdh3File Name/h3/td/tr
;

  do{

 printf(trtd%s/td/tr,
$myrow[FileName]);
}

  while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));

 echo /table
;
}

I would appreciate some help on the syntax.
Thanks, B

Is there a way to get rid of that?

Is there a way to create a user by giving access to only one database,
without giving him the permission to mysqlshow --user=[thisuser]
--password=[thispassword] and retrieve all database names? He should see
only the name of his database...?

RE: dos trouble

2002-08-01 Thread Benoit St-Jean

I'm trying to start up mysql through dos prompt. 
When I enter a 
command
like c:\mysql\bin\mysqld or anything similar (any
command in the bin
directory), it just waits there.  I can't Ctrl-C out
of it.  I can end 
the
process to get out.  What's happening?


You just started the server.  If you want to run it as
a service (I assume you have Windows NT or 2000), use
the --install option.

Now, you could open another command prompt window and
start mysql with, for example:

mysql --user=someguy --password=secret



Hope this helps.

 Can anyone tell me if it is possible to connect to a MySQL server running

 I know this can be done with MS SQL Server and I have heard it can be done

various questions about my.ini /or my.cnf

2002-08-01 Thread Jerry Arkema

As a newcomer to MySql, I have struggled through the install and am working
my way through the tutorial.
My environment:
Win2000
MySql version  3.23.51-nt

My.ini:
[mysqld]
# set basedir to installation path, e.g., c:/mysql
basedir=c:/mysql
# set datadir to location of data directory,
# e.g., c:/mysql/data or d:/mydata/data
datadir=c:/mysql/data
# turn load data local option on
local-infile=1

I am attempting to load table = menagerie from a text file name pet.txt.
To make this work I have had to do the following:
1. Include local-infile=1 option on the login to mysql.  Why is this not
picked from  My.ini?
C:\mysql\binmysql -u jarkema -p --local-infile=1
2. Fully qualify the input file on the load data command.  Why is the data
path not being picked up from My.ini?
mysql load data local infile c:/mysql/data/pet.txt into table pet;

If I don't fully qualify the input file name I get:
mysql load data local infile pet.txt into table pet;
ERROR: File 'pet.txt' not found (Errcode: 2)

It doesn't appear that my.ini is being used by mysql.  Can anyone explain
why?

Thanks,
Jerry

I have no experience with WinXP Home, but with WinXP Pro you need to

 I'm trying to start up mysql through dos prompt.  When I enter a command
 like c:\mysql\bin\mysqld or anything similar (any command in the bin
 directory), it just waits there.  I can't Ctrl-C out of it.  I can end the
 process to get out.  What's happening?

Error in using source command with PHP

2002-08-01 Thread Stephen Wardlaw

When in MySQL in a terminal, if I enter the command source scriptfile.sql, 
MySQL correctly executes the source file.

However, if using PHP, I execute the following commands in a PHP file:

?php
// data base is connected...

$query = source scriptfile.sql;
$result = mysql_query($query);

I get a MySQL Query Error - You have an error in your SQL syntax near 
'source scriptfile.sql' at line 1.

I have tried numerous combinations of parentheses, single quotes and relative 
and absolute file paths.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

NumberFormatException at ResultSet.getTimestamp()!

2002-08-01 Thread Ram Myneni


Hello:

I am getting NumberFormatException when getting Timestamp using ResultSet
class.
This occurs only if I run simultaneous threads. This doesn't happen if the
same
select query is not fired several times.

The application is currently using older version of JDBC driver
(mysql_both_comp.jar).
I downloaded 2.0.14 version and tried on that. I didn't face the problem
again.

Anyone know if this is the bug with the old version of JDBC driver? It will
be
very helpful if I can get a good response on this.

- thanks

RPM Installation Question

2002-08-01 Thread Jason Frisvold

I was hoping to use the RPM distribution to install MySQL on my Linux machine.  
However, I notice that it sets the data directory to /var/lib/mysql  ...  This is 
unacceptable for my purposes...  I know I can probably use a link to fix this, but I'd 
rather do it the right way...  How do I tell mySQL where the data directory is?  Is 
this a compiled option?
 
Thanks,

INSERT Question

2002-08-01 Thread Steven Kreuzer

Hello All,

First, Let me start by saying this question has most likely been asked 
before, but I did a search in the archive and was unable to come up with 
any results. I think this  is because I am not quite sure what this is 
called. So, I do apologize, but hopefully this can be answered quickly 
and will really help me out.

This is more of a General SQL question, regarding sytanx.

I have 3 table I am going to be working on. contact, address and state.
state contains 51 states (Washington D.C is listed as a state) each with 
their unique ID. Contact contains a persons first and last name, as well 
as their own ID. Address contains their street name, the city, state and 
a column called contactid for the id of the person who lives there.

State is a foreign key for the state table and contactid is a foreign 
key for the contact's id.

Now here is what I want to do:

I want to insert a person into the contact database and then insert 
their address into the address table, but I want to somehow put the ID 
of the state, and the id of the contact into the fields without actually 
  having to know the values.

Like rather then having to look up New York and then insert 033, can I 
just somehow put New York?

Is this possible to do?

Many thanks
-Steven

various questions about my.ini /or my.cnf

2002-08-01 Thread Jerry Arkema

As a newcomer to MySql, I have struggled through the install and am working
my way through the tutorial.
My environment:
Win2000
MySql version  3.23.51-nt

My.ini:
[mysqld]
# set basedir to installation path, e.g., c:/mysql
basedir=c:/mysql
# set datadir to location of data directory,
# e.g., c:/mysql/data or d:/mydata/data
datadir=c:/mysql/data
# turn load data local option on
local-infile=1

I am attempting to load table = menagerie from a text file name pet.txt.
To make this work I have had to do the following:
1. Include local-infile=1 option on the login to mysql.  Why is this not
picked from  My.ini?
C:\mysql\binmysql -u jarkema -p --local-infile=1
2. Fully qualify the input file on the load data command.  Why is the data
path not being picked up from My.ini?
mysql load data local infile c:/mysql/data/pet.txt into table pet;

If I don't fully qualify the input file name I get:
mysql load data local infile pet.txt into table pet;
ERROR: File 'pet.txt' not found (Errcode: 2)

It doesn't appear that my.ini is being used by mysql.  Can anyone explain
why?

Thanks,
Jerry

Hello,

According to MySQL documentation, indexes are not used with OR:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/y/MySQL_indexes.html
You can't speed up your query by adding indexes.
Running 2 separate queries is the best you can do if you want to go fast.

Problem under high load

2002-08-01 Thread Matthew Kahn

Hi all--

I'm running a PHP/Apache/MySQL web app on a server.  Specs are:

Slackware Linux v8.0
Kernel 2.4.16
Dual Athlon MP 1.2 GHz processors on a Tyan S2460 Mobo
1 GB registered ecc ram

I'm running MySQL 3.23.51-log, I believe, and it's the binary version for
x86 supplied by MySQL.  The problem I'm having is that under high load,
(i.e. 250 connections to mysql server), it seems to just stop executing
queries.  Up to that point, it handles about 80 queries/sec.  The mysql
memory footprint grows to about 50 M, according to top.  Then, for no
apparent reason, it stops handling queries.  vmstat shows that there are
about 290 processes waiting for run time, although disk activity remains
low.  I have swap space set up on an independent drive (IDE, with UDMA2),
and it's not using much of that anyhow.

I've set my key_buffer to 196M, open_tables to 1000 (and
/proc/sys/fs/file-max is at 4096), and reasonable defaults (from
my-large.cnf) for pretty much everything else.

I've analyzed all of my queries, and none of them seem to be slow.  Some
have using temporary and a few have using filesort, which i know is awful,
but there's no reason it's going, going, going, dead.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

Re: Error in using source command with PHP

2002-08-01 Thread Gerald Clark

That is because source is a mysql client command, not as sql command.
It gets executed by  the client 'mysql'.
The 'mysql' client reads it line by line, and passes the lines to the 
server.
The server never sees the scriptfile.sql.
You will have to write a PHP modules that reads the file, and passes it 
lin-by-line to the
server, or have PHP execute the mysql client, passing it all options and 
parameters.

Re: maximum number of columns max row size

2002-08-01 Thread Michael Zelina

Hi Brent,

Thanks for the response.  Currently, I have the variables listed out
in a table with one variable per row...  something similar to the following:

++--+-
| ID | DimensionName|
++--+-
|  1 | units_length |
|  2 | units_temp   |
|  3 | dim_positionX|
|  4 | dim_width|
|  5 | dim_length   |
++--+-

So, I can easily add dimensions or remove them as needed.  The problem
I have concern about is storing the dimension values a user inputs for
a given session.  For this I now have a table defined as follows
that maps to the ID of the variable list table:

+--+--+--+--+--+
| SESSIONID| ID1  | ID2  | ID3  | ...  |
+--+--+--+--+--+
| session_abcd | in   | F| 5.5  |  |
| tesfile1 | in   | F| 6.0  |  |
| large_design | in   | F| 7.25 |  |
| small_design | in   | F| 8.0  |  |
+--+--+--+--+--+
4 rows in set (0.04 sec)

This way, I can have the values stored as a single row and easily delete and
add session file values from the database.  Using the ID value as the column
provides some abstraction so I can rename dimensions and the sessions are still
valid.

Any thoughts on how better to store the session data?  Since I am coming
over from Access, I currently have three tables with 255 columns each.
Performance-wise it seems OK...  and I'm wondering if I should consolidate
the tables into one or leave them separated.  Or if even with a 255 column
table I might run into performance problems.

Thanks again for the help,
Mike

 A rule of thumb I always follow is to design the DB so that you don't

 Use rows instead of columns. Using rows also allows you to index all 
 variable values and names, since there are only two columns. You 
 couldn't index all your columns if you expanded horizontally instead of 
 vertically. Besides, it's a heck of a lot easier to add a row than a 
 column.

Re: maximum number of columns max row size

2002-08-01 Thread Brent Baisley

I thought you were coming from some other database. I haven't heard 
dimension since my FoxPro (on the Mac) days.
Since session data is temporary, you should use temporary tables to 
store you session variables. Just use the real table to hold you 
default values.
You want to do something like this at the start of a session:
create table SessionVars SELECT * from SessionDefaultsTable

Then you just read or update the SessionVars table as needed. MySQL will 
handle the creation and management of the table and that temp table will 
be unique to each user, so you don't need to worry about table name 
conflicts, MySQL handles it. Also, MySQL handles dropping the table when 
the user disappears, so you don't have to worry about cleanup. Read up 
on temporary tables, I think they would help you considerably in this 
situation.

 Use rows instead of columns. Using rows also allows you to index all

Re: How to speed up slow query from OR

2002-08-01 Thread Brent Baisley

If running two queries is running faster than perhaps the best way to do 
it is select the first query into a temporary table and then insert 
select the second to append to the temp table. Then you can select and 
sort however you want from the temporary table.

create table tempname SELECT something from table...
insert into tempname (something columns) SELECT something from table...
select something from tempname order by column

Three steps instead of one, but if it runs faster then it helps.

I'm not shure, but i think it is not a bug. 
I think a connection is only successfull when it is closed by the same

should increment its counter of connection_errors. It tells that someone
opened a connection and did not close it.
It's only an opinion.

RE: maximum number of columns max row size

2002-08-01 Thread James Ching


The way you store session values, as you said, can be troublesome when new
dimensions are added, or existing ones removed.  Also it might be
constrained by some column limit.  I'd try something like this,

+--++-+---+
| SESSIONID| UserID | DimensionID | Value |
+--++-+---+
| session_abcd | 100| 1   | 1 |
| session_abcd | 100| 2   | 1 |
| large_design | 200| 1   | 7.25  |
| small_design | 100| 1   | 8.0   |
| ...  | ...| ... | ...   |
+--++-+---+

This might help you expand/shrink dimensions a little easier.  One obvious
drawback with this approach is that we are fixing all dimension values to a
single type, say double.  In order for this to work, you'll need to define
IDs for each possible character values, which might or might not work for
your situation.

Hope it helps.
James

Re: maximum number of columns max row size

2002-08-01 Thread Michael Zelina

It's funny how terminology can be so confusing!  When I say dimension,
I mean engineering-wise as in the distance from a to b.

Also, my use of session probably wasn't a good word in this
context.  Our sessions are actually permanently stored, since
they are associated with a particular engineering job.  The user
may want to recall a past job to review the inputs and/or recreate
the design.

That said, the temporary table information is useful...  I may
need that to manage the system once we change the user interface
from a single page to a step-by-step approach.

Thanks for all of the help!

The data conversions are automatic in the server.

Use the data type field to select the correct input validation routine, but
store everything as a varchar.  You can then make up your own datatypes,

Perl is typeless anyway. If you do math it is a number.
If you concat two variables, then they are strings.

ctl+c and get back to a prompt, the db is running in ps -aux listing.  I
checked it from the administrative site that I have setup on the server
and the tables are there along with all the data a default install
should have.

Problem is, when I attempt to start it via mysqld I get

InnoDB: Looong pause when log file is full?

2002-08-01 Thread Pete Harlan

Hi,

I've read the performance tuning tips for InnoDB
(http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html#InnoDB_tuning), but am getting bit
when the log files are full and the buffer pool is checkpointed.

By 'geting bit', I mean for several minutes the db server basically
stops, and our website stops serving pages.  Does anyone have advice
about what we can do to alleviate this?  Instead of having three 150mb
log files, would we be better off with 30 15mb log files?

Our log files are on the same raid array as the data, but would it
really make that much difference to move them to a separate disk?

Alternately, is there a way to trigger this action at night, so we can
avoid it happening during the day?  It shut us down for about five
minutes today.

Details follow.  Many thanks,

InnoDB enum and set datatypes

2002-08-01 Thread speters

I was wondering about the Enum and Set column types in InnoDB tables.
I was able to create an InnoDB table with an enum column, but i
get errors when trying to insert values into that column.

I'm thinking that InnoDB doesnt support those data types, but the MySQL
interface to InnoDB may have some not quite consistent behavior.

no biggie, just wondering if anyone has encountered this.

ORDER BY question

2002-08-01 Thread speters

I am performing a query along the lines of the following:

SELECT DISTINCT property.Internal_ID
FROM property, owner_names
WHERE property.Internal_ID = owner_names.Internal_ID
AND [ other conditions ]
ORDER BY owner_names.Name

Without the order by clause this is a pretty quick query, but with it,
things
slow down considerably. The query then takes 5-10 times as long. :(
the property table has 1,000,000+ records
and there are an average of about 1.4 owner_names records for each property
record

I'm not exactly sure what happens with the ORDER BY clause, because
if a property record has more than one owner_name record associated with
it, how does MySQL decide which to use for sorting?

I'd guess that if there are more than one, it will take the first one in
sort order.

The owner_names table also has a field named Display_Order, which determines
in what order to display the names for mailing labels, etc.
I'd really like the ORDER BY to only consider records with Display_Order =
1,
but the SELECT to consider all owner_name records.

I know you can put some types of expressions in an order by clause, but i
don't
know how to express the above concept in SQL.

Re: InnoDB: Looong pause when log file is full?

 Hi,
 
 I've read the performance tuning tips for InnoDB
 (http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html#InnoDB_tuning), but am getting bit
 when the log files are full and the buffer pool is checkpointed.
 
 By 'geting bit', I mean for several minutes the db server basically
 stops, and our website stops serving pages.  Does anyone have advice
 about what we can do to alleviate this?  Instead of having three 150mb
 log files, would we be better off with 30 15mb log files?

It shouldn't matter how many files you have.  InnoDB sees them as one
striped file anyway.

 Our log files are on the same raid array as the data, but would it
 really make that much difference to move them to a separate disk?

It can if things are I/O bound, and they likely are.

 Alternately, is there a way to trigger this action at night, so we can
 avoid it happening during the day?  It shut us down for about five
 minutes today.

You could increase the size of your logs.  That'll increase recovery
time if there's ever a crash, but it should give InnoDB more breathing
room.

That's good to know.

Won't that only make for fewer long pauses, rather than schedule or
shorten them?  It won't fly with the powers that be if our system
shuts down in the middle of the day and my response is Oh yeah, our
server does that every three weeks and there's nothing we can do about
it.

Someone else suggested setting innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit to 1,
which should make for many frequent flushes rather than one monster
occasional flush.  Would that not take care of it?  (I set it to 0
because the manual suggested that as a big performance improvement at
the expense of a small measure of recoverability in the unlikely event
of a crash.)

[Is there a way to set that variable with 3.23.51 without shutting
down the server?  I couldn't find a way.]

Thanks,

Is owner_names.Name indexed? If not, MySQL is probably going to need to
do a filesort after it has select all of the rows, which will take a
very long time...Use EXPLAIN [your query] to see what MySQL is really
going to do.

Accessing new columns within the WHERE condition

2002-08-01 Thread Dean Householder

Okay, I thought I'd done this before but maybe not.  I can't figure it out
now.

What I want to do is:

SELECT column AS something FROM table WHERE something  5

Basically I'm creating a new column called something and I want to use it to
compare with in the WHERE condition.  Is this possible?

Ultimately I want to have MySQL calculate the age of people and also put a
condition on it.  I am using a very old fashioned web language which doesn't
have a lot of power.  I could do this in PHP if I could only use it.  But I
need MySQL to do it.

Any thoughts?

Also what is the name of this that I am doing, creating a new column.  Is it
a dynamic column or something?

Original message:

Hi!

Does anyone know how to copy/download a mssql db running on winnt to a mysql
db once a day.

I have had a mssql db for some while and want to continue using it. Now I am
about to create a website (using php/mysql) that will pull data from the
mysql db. Therefor I need the mysql db to either copy the entire mssql db
once a day or just pull the changes.


I don't wish to work directly on the mssql db -  due to security, safety and
network traffic.


Will myodbc be able to connect to a mssql db and download the data
correctly into a mysql db?

If not, is there any other way I can get a mssql into fully working mysql db
by copy once a day, replicating?


In advance, thank you!

MySQL 4.0 on Debian

2002-08-01 Thread Quinten Steenhuis


Hello all,

Has anyone successfully gotten MySQL 4.02 running on Debian? I'm running
into problems if I use alien to convert the RPMs. I could install from
source, but I want to avoid cruftiness and make it easy to upgrade.
Basically, I run into conflicts with the package libmysqlclient10, but if
I try to remove this package, I also remove PHP4-mysql, etc.

If anyone has gotten this to work, what steps have they taken? I
appreciate debian's update system for Apache and PHP, so I don't want to
install those from source if it can be avoided. If there's a smarter
upgrade path, please let me know. I'm willing to try out different ways of
doing this.

Using: Debian 3.0 (stable) on i386, apache-ssl 3.26, php4 4.1.2.

thanks,

Quinten

Yes, Install mysql on a local box (same OS as your provider and preferably
the same MySql version), create and populate your tables and then FTP the
files that reside in the mysql data directory. There will be 3 files
associated with each table
.MYD (Data file)
.MYI (Index file)
.frm (schema/description file).

problems when a combination of join, select distinct and order by are used together.

2002-08-01 Thread hean

Description:
When we join two or more tables, select distinct and order by on a
column, we get problems.
How-To-Repeat:
mysql select * from test;
+--+--+
| a| b|
+--+--+
|1 |1 |
|2 |2 |
|1 |3 |
+--+--+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql select * from test as a1, test as a2;
+--+--+--+--+
| a| b| a| b|
+--+--+--+--+
|1 |1 |1 |1 |
|2 |2 |1 |1 |
|1 |3 |1 |1 |
|1 |1 |2 |2 |
|2 |2 |2 |2 |
|1 |3 |2 |2 |
|1 |1 |1 |3 |
|2 |2 |1 |3 |
|1 |3 |1 |3 |
+--+--+--+--+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql select * from test as a1, test as a2 order by a2.b;
+--+--+--+--+
| a| b| a| b|
+--+--+--+--+
|1 |1 |1 |1 |
|2 |2 |1 |1 |
|1 |3 |1 |1 |
|1 |1 |2 |2 |
|2 |2 |2 |2 |
|1 |3 |2 |2 |
|1 |1 |1 |3 |
|2 |2 |1 |3 |
|1 |3 |1 |3 |
+--+--+--+--+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

This is the problem:

mysql select distinct a1.a from test as a1, test as a2 order by a2.b;
+--+
| a|
+--+
|1 |
|2 |
|1 |
|2 |
|1 |
|2 |
+--+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql select distinct a1.a from test as a1, test as a2 order by a1.b;
+--+
| a|
+--+
|1 |
|2 |
|1 |
+--+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)

Interestingly, the query without the order by works... :)

mysql select distinct a1.a from test as a1, test as a2;
+--+
| a|
+--+
|1 |
|2 |
+--+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Fix:
Err... avoid putting order by or distinct together? If you need both
... err...  bad luck.

Exporting Multi-DataType Excel Worksheet to CSV for Import into MySQL

2002-08-01 Thread Jonathan Duncan

I have done a lot of looking and search through archives of mailing lists
and newsgroups and I guess I haven't looked enough because I still haven't
found what I'm looking for.  What I have is an Excel worksheet that had 26
fields and several hundred rows of data.  The data types will be are INT,
TINYTEXT, and TEXT when they finally make it into MySQL.  The TEXT and
TINYTEXT fields contain commas, double quotes, single quotes, ampersands,
dollarsigns, periods, and HTML tags.  When I export it to CSV some of the
TEXT and TINYTEXT fields only contain alpha characters and so they don't get
quoted.

My problem:  I need all of the TEXT and TINYTEXT fields to be quoted and all
of the INT fields to not be quoted (of course).

Currently when I export to CSV and then LOAD DATA INTO MySql I get the
error:
ERROR 1062: Duplicate entry '1' for key 1

My import query is:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename.csv' INTO TABLE tablename
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '\' LINES TERMINATED BY
'\n';

I have check out the Text Write macro program and it doesn't take my need
to have some fields quoted but not others into accout.

I am sure someone else out there has done this.  I am wondering what the
best way to go about this is.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Jonathan Duncan

Re: MySQL bug? - problems with character-set

2002-08-01 Thread Andis

Hi!

It's just a simple example, because I don't want send latvian-specific
symbols. This problem occurs with latvian-specific symbols only.
Configuration file I cheked some 4-5 times. I'm confused now.

Regards from Latvia!

 AG It's loks like this:'HErE I tIPED MY LaNGUaGE CHaraCtERS'
 AG Now I feel confused, hov I can test, is my conf file.

 Strange ..
 on my w2k and RedHat 7.1 box I got correct results:

 mysql select lcase('HERE I TIPED IN SPECIFIC MY LANGUAGE CHARACTERS');
 +--+
 | lcase('HERE I TIPED IN SPECIFIC MY LANGUAGE CHARACTERS') |
 +--+
 | here i tiped in specific my language characters  |
 +--+
 1 row in set (0.00 sec)


 What Windows do you use? How did you install MySQL from binary or from
source?
