Primary Key
I saw an example of creating tables (see below). I wonder what the primary key (user_name, role_name) in the table user_roles means? Does it mean that both user_name and role_name are the primary key of the user_roles table? How does a table have two primary keys? create table users ( user_name varchar(15) not null primary key, user_pass varchar(15) not null ); create table user_roles ( user_name varchar(15) not null, role_name varchar(15) not null, primary key (user_name, role_name) ); __ Do you Yahoo!?

A subquery should help. SELECT ticker, HOUR(time) AS hour, price FROM pricedata WHERE time IN (SELECT MIN(time), MAX(time) FROM pricedata WHERE HOUR(time) = HOUR(pickatime) ) If you have an older version, simply split it up into two queries and use your middle/front end to handle the intermediate result -- Bob IQ2GI5SCP2 Things You Don't Hear Every Day, #'s 16 and 17: A professor: "It's all right if you come to class high."

Newbie: need form to input records & View report
I know this sounds stupid but I'm totally lost. I've created a MySQL DB whose purpose is to track customers who have not gotten a newspaper. I've created all the necessary fields, and have managed to learn how to add/delete/modify the records in mysqlcc, but what I want is to have a predesigned form like you'd find on a webpage where you simply enter the complaints and hit submit or whatever, and it responds with the complaint ID # ( ComplaintID is an autoincrement field in the db ) Then I need to be able to print a report in a nicely labeled/readable format showing all entries made that day where the "chargeable" field is not "List" (Chargeable is an enum consisting of "yes", "no", "list"). Will someone please be kind enough to point me in the right direction. I can't seem to get my head around this concept. Troy oh, if it matters, I'm using Linux Mandrake 9.2 with the Gnome 2.0 GDM.

re: mySQL in Hebrew/my.cnf
You should check the error log about why the server didn't start. It should be called yourhostname.err in your data directory. I think the problem is that you put spaces around the second equal sign. The first equal sign "set-variable = ..." can be surrounded by spaces but the second one "... default-character-set=hebrew" should not have any spaces. [mysqld] set-variable = default-character-set=hebrew You can also try invoking this option on the command line when starting the server like this: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --default-character-set=hebrew & with 3.23.xx I think the command is: /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld --default-character-set=hebrew & Again, no spaces around the equal sign. But putting it in my.cnf is probably the preferred method. Hope this helps, Jeremy

As far as I know min(price) and max(price) will return the lowest and higest price, not the first and last in the group.

Hi Bob, I did. So it should be assumed he's using 4.1.1 or 5.0? That's pretty stupid. What % of people do you think are using those versions? 1%? 0.1%? 0.01%? I think most people want the most compatible code/syntax/functions if they accomplish the same thing.

RE: Remote access FROM a secure server
Have you tried to telnet to port 3306 on the server from your local machine to the foreign server? It should give you some feedback as to why your connection is refused. If it times out, the server probably had 3306 blocked.

mySQL in Hebrew/my.cnf
I asked about a week ago how to get mySQL to index correctly in Hebrew, and the best answer that I received was to define a my.cnf file as follows [mysqld] set-variable = default-character-set = hebrew I created the file /etc/my.cnf using the root account, stopped the mysql daemon then restarted. The daemon failed immediately. I tried this a few more times, then reluctantly came to the conclusion that there is something wrong with the /etc/my.cnf file, so I deleted it and successfully started the daemon. Is there something special which I need to define regarding the file's permissions? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
dropping multiple tables with one command question
Happy New Year!!! What's the command for dropping multiple tables? Example: 12 tables that all start with: phpbb_ What? Well, the install isn't going as planned. I am having to reinstall as I try to work out script path (I think) or some other piece of info that isn't entered correctly, yet. Anyway, DROP TABLE tablename; is one table. I want to drop all the tables without typing them, but using DROP TABLE phpbb*; doesn't work. Any help appreciated.
