re: MySQL insert issue related to a unique column

MySQL processes..
hi, I have a problem with the connections and would appreicate a lot if anyone can provide a soln.. Our JSP application has connections to both Oracle and MySQL... In each page there are nearly a dozen queries executing on a MySQL db. at the begining of each page, a connection is opened and at the end they are close.. Ideally, if the user waits for the page to load completely and then hit the button Next or Cancel, the connection is freed.. But what happens often is that soon after entering the page, many users just click on Next resulting in the connection not getting closed...and soon, the no of connections exceed the allotted number (because they dont get freed automatically) and thus crashes the application.. My question is this: Is there anyway to kill the processes in MySQL (ofcourse i can do it manually but am talking about real time) ??? thnx for any suggestions.. sands - 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?

Hi ! the table has about 12.000 rows total but the query should return a max of about 100. mysql should split the query into two queries and merge the results. may be this could be done by joining the same table two times and query each table only for one of the OR expression. i'll try but for future versions of mysql, this should be internally done i think... ;) Corin Check it out = http://www.find-mich.net Thursday, October 17, 2002, 4:07:01 PM, you wrote: EE Corin, EE Thursday, October 17, 2002, 3:09:08 PM, you wrote: CL i have the following problem.

2 problems
Hello guys Here is the problem. You may find it trivial, but it is a serious obstacle for me. I make a database, a table in mysql and it goes fine. Then I try to view my table with PHP. I am pretty sure that I can't connect to the database. In particular $db = mysql_connect(localhost, root, ) or die; statement doesn't seem to be valid. Should I use another username, password or both? Are there any suggestions? Trying to solve the previous problem I face a new one: My new username is not anymore root, but rootlocalhost. This happened during a phonecall assistant by a friend. How did this happen? How can I generally change my username? If the previous explanation is not clear all I mean is: when I try to access mysql the: mysql -u root command is not valid. Instead I get this message: access denied for user: 'rootlocalhost' (Using password: NO). Thanks for the cooperation

It's a great intro to the power of SQL and will show you how simple some of the cool things you can do are. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0672321289/103-9983226-8456617 I would also recommend putting all project 'properties' in a single table. what I mean is that you don't need a relational setup for items like status and cost where eah project will only have 'one' (Project A costs $5000 and is 40% complete - next week Project A may cost $6000 and be 50% complete - so just update the fields). It would make more sense, and make building your application simpler if these are in a single table. Relations will make sense for items like 'project notes' which would work something like. table 'notes' project_id | create_date | note | author so now we can store a note and know who wrote it and when they did. this same structure can solve your problem of tying contacts to the project table 'project_contacts' project_id | name | company | address | phone | description and whatever other fields you like... olinux --- Randy Hammons [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm new and I'm TOTALLY lost! Why am I here? To BEG for help! My office currently keeps track of our projects via an excel spreadsheet. We keep such info as project costing, status, points oif contact, name, description, number, last updated, etc... What I want to do is merge all that info to a mysql database and generate a front end to view / update all applicalbe information via the web with php. Should be easy enough right? Should I be looking at a content management system type of design or should I just be focusing on form manupliation etc? Any suggestions as to how I would design this would be very beneficial. Part two. Lets say I design this puppy using regular static forms. My database design looks (currently and tentatively) like this: table projects columns( projectID(pk) numbername description) table Managers columns ( managerid(pk) managername) table Status columns(projectid(pk)projectstatus) table projectdetails columns(projectid(pk) projectcompletiondate projectcost lastupdate) now lets say someone is viewing a project with projectid (1). If they decide to update the status, we can see that the status tables primary key is projectid. If they decide to update the status could you give me an example of the sql syntax of how that would be updated. We can visually see the key relationship, but what would the syntax look like? We understand that status is related to the project via the projectid, but the database won't replicate that info automatically. How do I make something like that happen? Part three. Any suggestions on how to keep track of the primary and alternate points of contact per project as far as database design is concerned?

Table gets wiped out!
Ok, rebuillding a table, I did (in Perl): $sth = $dbh - prepare (LOCK TABLES $table WRITE); die $dbh-errstr if (not defined ($sth - execute)); $sth = $dbh - prepare (DELETE FROM $table); die $dbh-errstr if (not defined ($sth - execute)); This truncated the table. Then I filled the table anew, and, at the end (before the UNLOCK), issued: $sth = $dbh - prepare (OPTIMIZE TABLE $table); die $dbh-errstr if (not defined ($sth - execute)); Then... the ENTIRE table is gone after the optimize! If I do not run the optimize, the table is fully restored. But once I optimize it, it is flat gone! I am not so new as to cry bug the moment something escapes my grasp; but I find this very odd, to say the least. I know OPTIMIZE reclaims losts space and such. But what seems to have happened, is that the newly filled rows (that went over the old onces that were deleted) now also get deleted by the OPTIMIZE. If not a bug, then that behavior, pardon my French, is downright crazy. If RE-USED old rows get wiped after an OPTIMIZE, then there is something rotten in the state of Denmark. :) I mean, re-used rows are in use again! This seems related to the LOCK. If I do not LOCK the table first, everything is ok, even after the OPTIMIZE. But with the table still LOCKED (as I am, obviously, still writing to it), all re-used rows in the table just get wiped out after the OPTIMIZE! Yes, I am the guy that decided to set up shop at home too, on my Windows XP machine, to test out a few things before using them on my production server. Good thing I did. :) I tried this on both my FreeBSD box, MySQL 3.32.49 and my home editions, version 3.23.52; the result is the same in both cases.

I also have a foreign key in the directors table, but where did I define that to the database? Is this a sort of relationship? Like a one to many? I've noticed in some reading that certain keys are refered to by their respective names ( column - whatever ) and the relatioship column is defined as ( column - relwhatever ), is this the proper way to define a relationship? Is the primary/foreignkey, relationship concept something that is used by the database to replicate data or are they design tools used to develope an independent, non repetitive data structure?

Re: does mysqlimport actually recreate the table schmea as well as import data?
In the last episode (Oct 20), Peter J. Schoenster said: A cohort wrote a script to import tab delimited files. He uses mysqlimport. He uses the -d option to ONLY empty the data from the table before importing the new data. My cohort believes that mysqlimport is also dropping the table and then recreating the table from somewhere and then inserting the new data. And the problem according to him is that apparently MySQL is using some older version of the table which has a different column structure so that when the new data is imported it goes into the wrong columns. mysqlimport -d does a DELETE FROM table, which simply removes rows. To make sure that the data is pulled into the correct fields, you should use the -c option to mysqlimport and explicitly list the columns in the same order your input file has them. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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?

RE: Tips for LARGE system

timestamp bug increments by one day
Hi There, Just reciently (after no changes) my MySQL database is automatically incrementing timestamps by one day. Timestamp format is timestamp(14). An example date would be 20021021143513 when I use command such as: INSERT INTO MyTable SET timestamp = 200210211143513; and then: SELECT * FROM MyTable; I get : timestamp 200201221143513 This is happening on Redhat 7.1, MySQL Ver 11.15 Distrib 3.23.38, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) when I type: SELECT NOW(); I get the correct date, and when I type: INSERT INTO MyTable SET timestamp = NOW(); that also increments the timestamp by one day just like it does when I set the timestamp manually.

does mysqlimport actually recreate the table schmea as well as import data?
Hi, A cohort wrote a script to import tab delimited files. He uses mysqlimport. He uses the -d option to ONLY empty the data from the table before importing the new data. My cohort believes that mysqlimport is also dropping the table and then recreating the table from somewhere and then inserting the new data. And the problem according to him is that apparently MySQL is using some older version of the table which has a different column structure so that when the new data is imported it goes into the wrong columns. Anybody familiar with this? He says it's an optimization of MySQL to drop the table first ... but I have seen no confirmation.

Re: how do you define a relationship?
Randy, I think I've firmed my theoritical understanding of relationships enough to be dangerous. Now for the logical parthow do you actually define a relationship in mysql? For instance... http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SEC447.html table movies columns (movie id(pk) , movie title , year filmed) table directors columns (director id(pk), movie id(fk), total movies) Using these definitions the total_movies column seems redundant to me. select count(*) from movies,directors where movies.movie_id=directors.movie_id would yeald the total movies under said director_id.

Re: query
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have this query problem, I know its not related to MySQL server... Got this data Number cost type 1 10 NDD 2 200 LOCAL 1 20 NDD 2 15 NDD 2 30 LOCAL 1 5 LOCAL 2 10 NDD 2 15 LOCAL how to create a query that the output looks like this number cost_NDD cost_LOCAL 1 30 5 2 25 245 anybody can help?I really appreciate it. snipped Looks very familiar. My company does Telecommunications cost analysis... Anyway, you can use a crosstab query, but I prefer using if() statements, because it forces the columns to appear even if there is no data for that column. Of course you have to know what data will be in the column to start with, but that is usually the case... I would use: select Number, cost_LOCAL=sum(if(type='LOCAL',cost,0)), cost_NDD=sum(if(type='NDD',cost,0)) from MyTable group by Number As I said you can research the crosstab way of doing it, but if there is no (for example) IDD data in your table, then it will drop the cost_IDD field completely, and your app will whinge about it. Hope this helps.

Foreign keys in InnoDB tables
Hello I am a brand new user of MySql, and have some questions about using InnoDB tables. I noticed in the manual that you can only specify - ON DELETE SET NULL Or - ON DELETE CASCADE What is the default behaviour if nothing is specified? Also, does anyone know if there are any plans to support additional options? Finally, when you have many tables with a foreign key referencing a table, how does this affect performance of updates on the table being referenced? Thanks.

rolling over mysql logs
HI Probably a silly question, but how can I roll the logs for mysql? I started it with safe_mysqld --log-slow-queries --log So it created two logs in my /var/lib/mysql folder, one holding ALL queries, and one for only the slow queries. The general log is growing quite rapidly, and I would like to gzip the log at the end of each day so it will be easier to find what you are looking for, and so I can delete old logs at a glance. Can someone help me with a script to do this?
