Re: Just a small newbie question
Hi Charlie, Don't worry, all questions are OK. :-) Instead of trying to double-click mysql.exe, open your Command Prompt and, assuming the mysql\bin directory isn't in your PATH, navigate to to mysql\bin directory and run mysql from there or specify the full path. e.g. C:\cd \mysql\bin C:\mysql\binmysql -OR- C:\C:\mysql\bin\mysql (Sorry if you already know how to do that. ;-)) And then when mysql quits, the window won't close but will stay there and you can see what the error message is. Tell us what that error is. Hope that helps.

Any ideas on how to authenticate to mysql thru PAM?
Sorry for repeat email...but this seems like an omission in mysql functionality. Sooo many apps come w/pam support, or the ability to use ssl. I realize that in order to use an ssl cert, you'd somehow need to lookup the subject dn in the cert and go against ldap to get a uname/pwd, etc. From a web application, like php, I know I can use existing auth name/pwd vars and pass them thru to mysql...works great. Other web content mgmt systems (Cocoon) and things like JSP could easily do the same thing. But I'm tired of entering my uname/pwd on the command line!! There must be something I'm missing in getting this to happen. I really don't want to write a script that does this as I generally don't like to keep creds in anything except root-owned /etc/shadow, etc. Then again, a user's private certs are only protected by the user's own credentials...so I guess it wouldn't be TOO stupid to create a script owned by user that passes user password thru to mysql...but this smells hacky (not in good sense). mike -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: OS X Installation and Setup
After successfully setting up PostgreSQL and better understanding the user and permission problems I attempted to reinstall mySQL which had been running but b/c of permission stuff i could only access databases that began with test.

AW: AW: FOREIGN KEY() REFERENCES ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT
Dear Toro Hill, Thank you for the gentle explanation, I believe you mean this: Hence it is not possible to insert, update or modify anything into TABLE PRODUCT_ORDER Because : No is auto Increment, cannot be directly manipulated, product_category product_id customer_id is all Foreign Keys and hence will be actualised through the references indirectly, when they are changed, the new values will be propagated, no insert statement is possible into a foreign key or anything which is auto Increment, Please correct me, foreign key constraints prevent values to be modified in variables, it is only possible through references, When an external variable is inserted, and through references copied into TABLE PRODUCT_ORDER, then the auto increment will do what it should. #INSERT INTOPRODUCT_ORDER(some variable) VALUES( some values ); is not possible, for any variable or value. Is this true for PRODUCT_ORDER ? Pleas tell me, what is the purpose of ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT ? Is that necessary ? Why ? Example please ?

September 2003 01:35 An: Morten Gulbrandsen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: AW: FOREIGN KEY() REFERENCES ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT The first foreign key contraints in the following table definition mean this: Any record that is inserted into the product_order table must have values for product_category and product_id that exist in the category and id fields of a record in the product table. The second foreign key contraints means that any record that is inserted into the product_order table must have a value for customer_id that exists in the id field of a record in the customer table. CREATE TABLE PRODUCT_ORDER ( noINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, product_category INT NOT NULL, product_idINT NOT NULL, customer_id INT NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(no), INDEX (product_category, product_id), FOREIGN KEY (product_category, product_id) REFERENCES product(category, id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT, INDEX (customer_id), FOREIGN KEY (customer_id) REFERENCES customer(id) ) TYPE=INNODB; Therefore, when you try and execute the last insert statement below it fails because the value for customer_id is not in the id field of any of the records in the customer table. Hence the foreign key constraint defined stops you from doing the last insert, which is what it should do. INSERT INTOPRODUCT(category, id, price) VALUES(1, 1, 0.1 ); INSERT INTOCUSTOMER(id) VALUES (2); INSERT INTOPRODUCT_ORDER(customer_id) VALUES(1); I hope this helps.

September 2003 03:36 An: Morten Gulbrandsen Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: Re: FOREIGN KEY() REFERENCES ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT I believe that your ON UPDATE CASCADE clause should be in the definition for the PRODUCT and CUSTOMER table rather than the PRODUCT_ORDER table. However, I don't think that it will work how you expect. ON UPDATE CASCADE means that everytime you update a row in this table then all rows in other tables that reference this table (via a foreign key) will be updated also. So if there are no rows in PRODUCT_ORDER then ON UPDATE CASCADE will not insert new rows when you add rows to the other tables. What will happen instead is that any row (that already exists) in your PRODUCT_ORDER table will be updated with the new data that has been updated in one of the other tables. This is my understanding of how it works anyway. For further information go to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/InnoDB_foreign_key_constraints.html Hope this helps. Toro Morten Dear Toro Thank you for your honest comment, the statement ON UPDATE CASCADE does not INSERT, UPDATE or CASCADE anything. The code needs explanation. It is from the reference manual as a complex example with minor modifications. I hope that the company MySQL AB could take a look at it. Confer 7.5.5.2 FOREIGN KEY Constraints http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/InnoDB_foreign_key_constraints.html Please correct me, if some of you are able to get anything relational out of it. The first I expect from any database is that the examples from the Reference manual compiles and runs. I do get error messages, which are 'correct' I believe due to the constraints. But no expected relational behaviour. Like the parent child example from the reference manual. I believe the tables PRODUCT and CUSTOMER are entity types and the table PRODUCT_ORDER is a relationship type. However foreign keys are not correctly implemented in MySQL. As we all can see from this example. /Morten USE test; DROP TABLE IF EXISTS PRODUCT_ORDER,

Re: Mysqlhotcopy and incorrect database name error - We must be dense
Gilmore, Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
A mysqlhotcopy issue has stumped no less than three of us here today at
work, ensuring that the solution is glaringly obvious. We're trying to
use mysqlhotcopy to copy a few databases. We want to make a local copy,
nothing exotic, just want to move the database backups to the directory
/backups/.
In particular, we're attempting to make use of the following syntax:
mysqlhotcopy db_name [/path/to/new_directory]
However, we receive an error when executing the following:
%mysqlhotcopy -u root --suffix=091703 staff /backups
If you use --suffix option you should not specify location, because in this case
mysqlhotcopy create a new database, f.e. staff091703, in the MySQL data dir. That is
why you get incorrect database name error.
The error is:
DBI
connect('../backups/wjgilmore/;host=localhost;mysql_read_default_group=m
ysqlhotcopy','root',...) failed: Incorrect database name '/backups/' at
./mysqlhotcopy line 747
In short, what's happening is that mysqlhotcopy thinks that /backups/ is
a database that we'd like backed-up. Which, according to the following
syntax form (shown in the mysqlhotcopy page of the MySQL manual):
mysqlhotcopy db_name_1 ... db_name_n /path/to/new_directory
Interestingly, when using a regular expression, the destination
directory is recognized immediately:
%mysqlhotcopy jan-2003./^sales/ /backups/
The Juicy details:
* Redhat 7.2
* Perl 5.6.1
* Mysql 4.0.9-gamma (although we've tried mysqlhotcopy on three
different mysql versions, with no luck)
* Yes, the user has permission to write to /backups/
* Yes, the user has select and reload permissions.
Thanks for any insight. This is driving all of us crazy. Also looked all
over the newsgroups regarding this, a few individuals have posted
similar questions, however none were answered.

Querying for continuous bookings
Hi there, My problem at this time is following: I have a table of position bookings, having information of a position code, beginning time of the booking and end time: Pos | Begings | Ends APP | 2003-09-30 11:00:00 | 2003-09-30 12:15:00 APP | 2003-09-30 12:15:00 | 2003-09-30 13:00:00 DEP | 2003-09-30 10:30:00 | 2003-09-30 13:30:00 ... Now I should make a query that, in some way, gives me an information of the positions that are booked without any pause for specified time. For example, 2003-09-30 11:00 - 2003-09-30 13:00 should return APP and DEP. Anyway, if I queried for period of 2003-09-30 10:30 - 2003-09-30 12:20, I should receive only DEP. Any ideas how to build such a query?

Re: Querying for continuous bookings
well, I am working with mysql for less than 2 months so I may not give you right answer but I guess we cannot solve this problem without programming. The point is how to combine the times to have a one POS with continuous time. this query is an example to combine to records: SELECT table1.pos, table1.Begings, table2.Ends FROM mytable as table1, mytable as table2 WHERE table1.pos = table2.pos AND table1.Ends = table2.Begings ORDER BY table1.pos, table1.Begings, table2.Begings but this is not working if there are 3 records (or more) which should be combined together. so if you don't have this case, you can work more on this query to have the other records and do the search on the final query. - Original Message - From: Ville Mattila [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 10:56 AM Subject: Querying for continuous bookings Hi there, My problem at this time is following: I have a table of position bookings, having information of a position code, beginning time of the booking and end time: Pos | Begings | Ends APP | 2003-09-30 11:00:00 | 2003-09-30 12:15:00 APP | 2003-09-30 12:15:00 | 2003-09-30 13:00:00 DEP | 2003-09-30 10:30:00 | 2003-09-30 13:30:00 ...

The large number is the number of pageouts since restart, the number in parentheses is the number of pageouts in the last second. If you see the number in parentheses is non-zero frequently, then you're havinig paging. In this case you should set up and edit a my.cnf file to tune the memory parameters of mysqld so it doesn't page.

SHA literal String Syntax Help
I need help with the proper syntax of my INSERT

I need to include the literal string of {SHA} plus
the hash, see below.

When you select a user password from the table Radius will then retrieve:
{SHA}15346b593c4d0cf05fb6e67a5669d852e6550481
This one encrypts the whole string {SHA}'smith'
mysql INSERT INTO user_profile (userid,password,alias,profile)
- VALUES ('bob',SHA1({SHA}'smith'),'max',default);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
This one pukes
mysql INSERT INTO user_profile (userid,password,alias,profile)
- VALUES ('bob',({SHA}SHA1'smith'),'max',default);
ERROR 1064 You have an error in you SQL syntax
This one has a could mismatch

Problem with optimizing table
One of the developers is having a problem optimizing a table in MySQL 4.0.14-standard on Solaris 9. The optimize seems to succeed but when he tries to access the table with a SQL client, we get an error of something to the effect that MySQL cannot fine MESSAGES.MYI. After running 'myisamchk -o' on the table, corruption is found and repaired. This happens every time the optimize is run on the table. I think the problem may be reltated to disk space; we are rather low on some file systems. Our pet theory is that the optimize writes out a temporary DB which fails. Does anyone know what exactly optimize writes out to the OS? I cannot find any information on this.

You can artificially inflate the log sequence number of the log files by creating a dummy table and inserting and deleting rows in it. Increasing the lsn by 500 MB should take less than an hour. You can monitor the lsn with SHOW INNODB STATUS. After that run CHECK TABLE on all your tables. Wrong log sequence numbers can cause corruption.

InnoDB, Replication, and Data warehouse: Oil, Water, and little floating plastic men
What follows is a short story, all true and quite stressful. No database servers were harmed in the making of this server, but a couple were threatened with loose rack mount rails. We are trying to move over to InnoDB, but we have a few problems that we just can't figure out: First, for some reason, MySQL claims it can not claim more than .5Gigs of RAM from a system that has 4Gigs of RAM total and not being used for anything but MySQL. Secondly, MySQL replication leaves a problem for our data warehouse and replication. When you use MySQL binary replication, it has been my experience that it is all or nothing. You can't choose just one database to replicate. You can start or stop just one database on the slave from being replicated. If you stop one, they all stop. This is a problem, because what we need to do is stop replication at midnight, and then do a dump of the database. Just one of them. When we stop it now, they all stop so now we have databases that are idle and not getting up to date replication while this one database gets mysqldumped for hours. InnoDB hot backup is a swell thing, but it doesn't dump the database in a useable format for anything except bringing an entire server online. This doesn't help us when we just want a simple mysqldump file of one database to do data warehouse work. Before, what we did with MyISAM was a crude but workable in house replication system that used the text file update logs to replicate to a slave. This allowed us to replicate by database, and in turn only affect that one database for replication and dumping. It also allowed us to attach a data warehouse program to the replication so that it could grab the information it needed. With MySQL binary replication, we can not do either of these activities. So, in a nutshell, this is our problems with InnoDB. I really want to get these problems fixed so I can keep InnoDB around, and use that nice hot backup program. It would be painful to have to stick with MyISAM. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Formatting a string for entry into MySQL
Hi, This is more of a PHP question, but I can't find the answer. I'm trying to generate a string that contains a br, to insert into a MySQL table. It appears the br is being stripped out either just before or during the update. ** code ** // has both info, update both $ad_contact = $tr_email; $ad_contact .= br; $pSep = -; $ad_contact .= $tr_p1AC; $ad_contact .= $pSep; $ad_contact .= $tr_p1PRE; $ad_contact .= $pSep; $ad_contact .= $tr_p1SUF; // update the record $qUpdate = UPDATE subscriber_ads SET ad_contact = '$ad_contact' WHERE subid = $sid; print($qUpdatebr); $rUpdate = mysql_query($qUpdate, $CCB) or die(mysql_error()); The print() statement shows the correct format in the browser. I've looked at printf() and sprintf(), but can't quite figure the syntax. I want the br in the string so it will output correctly in the browser when that data is retrieved from the DB. Suggestions?

Dumb Question - Moving Data from Access to MySQL
Dumb Question. I need to move my data from their current access database to my new MySQL server through an ODBC connection. The tables on both ends are set up identially. I have added a linked table to the access database called EXPARTAB1. The data is in EXPARTAB. I tried: INSERT INTO EXPARTAB1 VALUES (SELECT * FROM EXPARTAB) I have used exportSQL from CYNERGI which is a very simple script for access, but the file it creates is 125 Megs to add the data, and I can't easily work with that. Ugh! And I can't just UNLOAD/LOAD it all to a file like I did back in my Informix Days. It's gotta be simple, but this had been beating me up all day. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Just a small newbie question
Ok well I reinstalled again and it seems to be working ok now. Thanks anyways ;) --- Matt W [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Charlie, Don't worry, all questions are OK. :-) Instead of trying to double-click mysql.exe, open your Command Prompt and, assuming the mysql\bin directory isn't in your PATH, navigate to to mysql\bin directory and run mysql from there or specify the full path. e.g. C:\cd \mysql\bin C:\mysql\binmysql -OR- C:\C:\mysql\bin\mysql (Sorry if you already know how to do that. ;-)) And then when mysql quits, the window won't close but will stay there and you can see what the error message is. Tell us what that error is. Hope that helps.

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?
