LOAD DATA INFILE failing on OS X Server
Let me preface this by saying I am not a MySQL guru myself, but more of a general sys admin... ! One of our users is trying to execute the LOAD DATA INFILE command (using PHP to talk to MySQL). It is failing for some reason... Everything I believe is set properly, i.e: - the user has the file priv enabled - the file they are reading is world readable - they are specifing absolute path (also tried relative path as well) System specifics is MySQL 3.23.53 on OS X Server 10.2.4, this is Apple's standard build. PHP is at 4.3.1 The user has a pretty much identical test environment he claims it works there (and works even without the file priv enabled) So there is something fundamental I am not seeing... Any pointers would be appreciated!

jdbc-Driver - foreignkeys - OOo
Hi, I'm a teacher in germany and searching for a database, wich supports foreign-keys and is supported from OOo. (Well I found the HSQLD-Database (Hermann Kienlein was helping) which is working, but with MySQL I could do all my jobs in schools with only _one_ database). Till now, I thought mysql can't work with foreign keys, but I read, that tables in the innodb-format can do this. But if I work with the jdbc-driver and OOo, OOo doesn't support the foreignkeys-gui :-(( (the cause is the jdbc-Driver) Does anybody know, if a future version of the jdbc-Driver will support this foreignkeys-feature of innodb-format? Perhaps this is the wrong mailinglist (sorry), can you tell me, where is the better place I could ask for?

hostname
Hi all, is there a way to find out which host I am connected from? My CGI script checks privileges of users based on host names they came from. But their hosts some times are detected as IP. E.g. when the script asks: SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user'@'127.0.0.1' Mysql replies that there is no such grants, because it knows 'user'@'localhost' instead. Thanks, Alex G. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

corrupt odbc connection in MS Access
Has anyone seen something like this before: We have an Access database (about 9 megs in size) with linked tables in it. The machine DSN shows that the information for the connection is correct. But when you try to open the table in Access, a dialog pops up to connect to the mysql server and the information is wrong. It has the wrong database name. We correct the information in the odbc dialog box so that it matches the DSN information and the table opens. We have triple checked the odbc connections for windows; they are all correct. There's nothing in Access that references the wrong database. There's nothing in the registry. Deleting the linked tables and re-linking them and repairing the access database appears to fix the problem. Has any one else experienced this or know what might be causing it? My only guess so far was that the mdb itself had become corrupt, which was why deleting and relinking the tables then repairing the database fixed the problem. I'd appreciate any information you have. Thanks, bob -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: RADIUS is a Wh*%@
Jeff,
I am affraid your question has nothing to do with MySQL internals. It is all about
MySQL usage.
Stout, Jeff wrote:
I am using MySQL 4.0.15 on Win2K (not by choice, vendor chose this platform)
I user the Database to store user information to Allow RADIUS to authenticate
users against the tables. I have to encrypt the password fields, If I use
MD5 it is a one way algorithm, enable for me to user MD5 I have to compare
the hashes if hashes match then I'm golden and user is granted access,
however the flavor of RADIUS the Vendor has chosen to use can not by it's self
do a hash comparison thus all Hash encrypted passwords can't be read by
Radius and users are denied access.
Doesn't matter. You only need to define what RADIUS has to match and do it within
SQL query.
For an example if you store MD5 hashes of passwords into table you can just use:
SELECT MD5(plaintextpasswd) = password WHERE userid=userid;
In case hashes match above query will return 1 (true)
Please don't crospost such kind of questions in internals@ It is dedicated to
MySQL source, algorithms etc.
Use general list [EMAIL PROTECTED] or consider purchasing Support. You can
read more about Support MySQL AB provides at http://www.mysql.com/support/
Has any one had experience with this and know of a way to fix this
My other thought was to use:
INSERT INTO user_profile (userid, password)
VALUES ('sam', AES_ENCRYPT(sam,password));
this will allow me to encrypt the password field, but I still need to get RADIUS to
do the AES_DECRYPT any thoughts.

Re: LOAD DATA INFILE failing on OS X Server
The only thing I would suggest is to look in the mysqllog and look at the command that is specifically being issued, and then try it from the mysql command line interface, and see if it works there, it should give you a good enough reason if it doesn't, and if it does, it more than likely is some sort of permission problem.

How to update/set a default value for field via delete statement
I have my schema set so that a field in a table has a default value of 16. I also have a script that initializes the database, but I don't want to delete the record since I want the other fields' data preserved. Is there a way to find out what the default schema value is so that I can issue an UPDATE and set it back?

Design Suggestion
I have several fields in which I will be strong text. Various categories, and for each category, its related subcategories. Each subcategory then contains various items. My question is, for performance, would it be better to assign each category/subcategory pair a unique ID number and then anytime I need to lookup something in a subcategory, look up the ID number and search off of that? Or, would it be about the same to just search the entire list of items on the text of the category subcategory? Ex: First way: Two tables: Categories - Category (text), Subcategory (text), CatID (unique integer) Items - CatID (integer relating to id in categories table), Other item info I would do something like: SELECT CatID FROM Categories WHERE Category=desired category AND Subcategory=desired subcategory Then for example to retrieve all items in that subcategory: SELECT * FROM Items WHERE CatID=(the id found in previous select) OR: One table: Items - Category (text), Subcategory (text), ... Other item info And to find all items in a subcategory, do: SELECT * FROM Items WHERE Category=desired category AND Subcategory=desired subcategory It seems to me the second way would be slower, because it has to do many more string tests. But does it make a difference? Is testing integer equality actually faster than string equality?

Well you could: (assuming an installation in /usr/local/mysql) # /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld --user=mysql /usr/local/mysql/daemonlog /usr/local/mysql/daemonerrorlog But you should probably consult the manual under the installation for an explanation of exactly what the above does. -Dan On Sun, 2003-09-21 at 10:43, Eduardo Melo wrote: Hi All !

open_files_limit issue
Im running mysql 4.0.15 on mac osx and am having trouble while doing performance/load testing. On startup I get the following error message in the error log: Warning: setrlimit returned ok, but didn't change limits. Max open files is 12288 (request: 25010) Im not sure where this request is coming from. In my my.cnf file, I tweaked the open_files_limit but even though I make changes, the exact message with the exact paramters spits out. Ultimately the problem is that I get an error message telling me that there are too many open files. I suspect I need to increase the number of open files, but it doesnt seem to change.

Privileges are disappearing...
Hi, I have a strange problem with priviledges. They just stop working. The tables have the data in them. But they don't work. So I do another GRANT And then they work fine, until the next day (not sure about the timing) when they have to be GRANT'ed all over again. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this. It happens more often on some dBs than others. This is something that's be going on for a while now. It even caused me to get un-lazy and upgrade to 4.0.13 which didn't seem to help. The dBs are all dumped every night. I connect via DSL so I have a different IP, but I don't think that's an issue, here is the GRANT: GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER ON DbNAME.* TO YYY@'%.t-dialin.net' -- To catch the different IPs. IDENTIFIED BY 'XXX'; I thought it may be a MyODBC issue, but it also doesn't work in PERL/DBI until I do the GRANT again. flush priviledges doesn't seem to have any effect. Only another run of the GRANT. I should specify that it doesn't lose all GRANT info as everything connecting from localhost (but not localhost) is fine, just my connections from outside the server. Any ideas? Thanks!!

Just a small newbie question
G'Evening, Im extremely new to MySQL. Im sitting here using a self teach book to try to guide my way through it. Anyways, the book is discussing adding users and setting priveledges. Now the book is vague on how to do so, but I believe I use the bin/mysql.exe file (Im on windows obviously). Problem is when I go to it, all it does and open and close real fast. Am I doing something wrong?
