RE: About JDBC

2003-04-06 Thread Kyle Lange
As I understand it, 

You're actually better off, if not HAVE TO, just putting the 3.0.6 connector jar file 
into your tomcat-install/common/lib directory in order for Tomcat to be able to see 
it.

It should be enough to place the .jar file in the jre/lib/ext folder 
inside your Java installation folder. If you don't want to do that, you 
could modify your CLASSPATH environment variable to include wherever 
you decide to place the .jar.

Mysql 4 search features

2003-04-06 Thread daniel
Hi guys i messaged before regarding mysql 4's search capabilties, i am doing 
up a scope for a tape library database change over from access , there is 
100,000+ records, i am trying to find the most effiecient way to build the 
search capabiltiies, there will be fields like title, tx date, reporter, user 
etc ..

the way i design my tables is usually have tables like reporter and user and 
join with keys ie

reporter:
reporterID
reporter

user:
userID
user

program
reporterID
userID

and then join the tables that way , would this slow it down in anyway when 
doing a search against it , also is match against my best way of doing a 
boolean search , also the current access db has a keywords field , and then is 
searchable against that to find the entry quicker would this still be needed , 
and also with indexing , how many fields can i index at once in a table , and 
for the content text field , if i remove the keyword search , i would prob 
need the text in this searchable , would full text indexing speed up the 
search and how could i achieve this ? let me know thankyou.

Any particular reason you are using max? Just use the normal version it runs

MYSQL Newbie

2003-04-06 Thread David Blomstrom
I'm interested in learning about MYSQL and wondered if anyone could give me 
a few pointers for getting started.

I've designed over 1,000 webpages, based at http://www.geobop.com, but my 
technical skills are very basic. I've been unemployed for about eight 
months and have been using my time to learn new computer skills while 
frantically trying to get my websites revised and moved to a new Linux 
server. I recently graduated from Microsoft FrontPage to DreamWeaver, 
upgraded from Windows Millennium to XP Professional and have been studying 
Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript. I recently got Linux installed on my 
computer, though I haven't learned to use it yet. I'll be moving to a Linux 
ISP soon.

Here are my first three questions:

1) Can you recommend some good online tutorials for learning the basics of 
MYSQL? (I can't even say I know exactly what it is; I think of it as some 
sort of language used to create special effects or special functions, 
similar to JavaScript.)

2) I recently learned how to create tables with sortable columns using 
JavaScript, as illustrated by the example at http://www.geobop.com/marini/ 
I envision using something like MYSQL to create even more sophisticated 
tables, or alternatives. For example:

Suppose I created a table listing every species of bird - about 10,000 
species - with a dozen columns for the common name, scientific name, 
habitat, etc. Obviously, a page with such a table would take forever to 
download. But someone told me I could use MYSQL or another language to 
create an alternative that would display only a few rows at a time.

I'm not certain exactly what form this function will eventually take, but 
I'm just exploring ways to list vast amounts of data that are searchable, 
sortable or can be manipulated in other ways. If this can be done with 
MYSQL, can you give me an idea of how to get started? Is there a name for 
this function, a tutorial that describes it, or a webpage on the Internet 
that I can use as a model?

3) Is a knowledge of MYSQL a great help in finding jobs and roughly how 
long does it take most people to acquire a working knowledge of it? With my 
skills, I don't expect to become a MYSQL pro any time soon, but I just 
wondered if even a basic knowledge might help with job searches.

Thanks!

If you found this list then you should have found information about MySQL.
It's a database server ment for running relational databases. (short and 
simple explanation).

You can use languages like Perl, PHP, Python and C to retrieve information.
Tutorials:
www.php.net --links-tutorials
www.devshed.com

www.google.com (search)
search this lists archive since it holds many many many other links.
YOu will find hundreds of links if you search google.

root password setting problem

2003-04-06 Thread Devon Y.
Hello,
  This is bugging the crap out of me. A few days ago I installed of MySQL 
4.0.12 on Windows XP. All's fine (so far), but I can't figure out how to set 
the root password. I thought I had done it yesterday, but just discovered it 
didn't take.

I've followed the instructions in the MySQL reference manual 
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Installing.html#Windows_running 
, but it never seems to work. I've already done this part:

C:\ C:\mysql\bin\mysql mysql
mysql DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User='';
mysql QUIT
C:\ C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin reload
And I'm assuming that I don't have to do that again for everytime I try 
setting the root password, especially since no password has been set yet. 
Here's what I type, which as I understand, is how I set the root password...

C:\mysql\bin\ mysqladmin -u root password onyoung

'onyoung' being my intended password. This isn't working though. So, what am 
I missing here?

you probably want php which intergrates into mysql nicely, as mysql being the 
database for the content, http://www.php.net/

http://www.phpbuilder.com/
there is also some links on the php site u might want to check out

with mysql you prob want to master the sql queries to get the most optimised

The manual tells you to set a root password.
You wrote:
C:\mysql\bin\ mysqladmin -u root password onyoung
If it's the same on windooz as on Linux then it should be:
mysqladmin -u root -ponyoung
Don't know what good it would do to just run mysqladmin like that but 
that's how it should look like.. But perhaps there is a difference between 
the Linux and the windooz version..

If you really messed up you can reset the mysql root password:

Anyone willing to help a newbie walk through setup and install?

I've tried everything specified in the online documentation, the tips 
on Marc Lynnage's page, install tips in several MySQL books multiple 
times. I've read all error messages and tried my best to figure out how 
to work around them.  Absolutely nothing works. I can't set the root 
password, there is no 'mysql' table after the install, can't create new 
databases, can't reset the root password by following the instructions

I don't have the $700 dollars for the commercial license at the moment 
and can't stomach paying that much just to learn how to get MySQL 
running and be able to create new tables.

I've been a Macintosh C programmer for 7 years and after that, being 
unable to get a database running after following the instructions to

spend a 15 minutes or so on AIM to help me out?

You don't explain your problem. You don't even tell which versions you're

If there is no mysql table then you didn't create it, or you trashed it. In 
the manual you will find references to how to install MySQL on MAC OS X.
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Mac_OS_X_installation.html

IMHO your problem needs to be solved via the list. That way someone else 
can learn from the problem and others don't have to ask the same question 
over and over.

You did search the archive.. right?

Then attempting to set the root password as recommended:

followed by:

An earlier post by Lenz Grimmer mentions a possible issue with the 
hostname variable so I tried hard coding the host name as follows:
	// get the host name
	[my-computer:~] my-user-name% hostname
	my-computer.local.

	// use it to set the password
	[my-computer:~] my-user-name% /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root

At this point, my limited unix skills run out, what now?


You don't even tell which versions you're running.
mysql-standard-4.0.12 on Mac OS 10.2.3

If there is no mysql table then you didn't create it, or you trashed 
it.
I didn't create it, true, but the documentation never says to do so. I 
assumed the package installer would handle this as part of the install. 
Does everyone need to create this table manually? Definitely didn't 
trash it as I didn't issue any rm's or manual deletes in the finder 
after install, so my suspicion is the installer just doesn't make one.

In the manual you will find references to how to install MySQL on MAC 
OS X.

Already followed these to the letter at least 4 times, can't set the 
password no way no how. without the root password, I can't create any 
new databases so everything else is just academic.
IMHO your problem needs to be solved via the list. That way someone 
else can learn from the problem and others don't have to ask the same 
question over and over.
I would definitely post the full solution and might even whip up a web 
page for other mac users
You did search the archive.. right?
Yep

One possible problem might be that in my users and groups control 
panel, attempting to set a mysql user fails with the error:
	user mysql already exists
even though it doesn't show up. Might be an old instance from when I 
tried MySQL a few months ago (also with no luck)
Best I can tell, there wasn't any other mysql files on the system, I 
deleted them all prior to the install with rm's
