Thank you for you references. 
I am not an expert, so i hope to find a smart interface to mysql to set up
the server.

You need to repair your table:

Re: Renaming a Database

2009-08-19 Thread Matt Neimeyer
No... I've pretty much avoided those. This WAS a Visual FoxPro app so
we're still at the stage where we really aren't "leveraging" MySQL
specific features. We're still pretty much just eliminating VFP
specific things.

Hence the one time nature of this renaming. Now that we're 5-10
customers in to upgrading we decided to actually define a naming
convention for the databases themselves so I've got to fix the 5-10
that are already out there (I could not change it... but then we have
to "remember" that these are special cases)

RE: text records and cross referencing

2009-08-19 Thread Gavin Towey
Hi Pol,

MySQL support FULLTEXT indexes, and natural language searches, including 
Boolean conditions.  This may help you; however, you will have to adjust the 
default behavior of the index, but changing server settings.  By default there 
is a minimum word length which you will have to adjust, and a list of stopwords 
(words to ignore.)  Both of these will prevent you from indexing each and every 
word, and even still words that show up in most or all records will be ignored 
(and I don't know if you can change that behavior.)   The alternative, is using 
unindexed lookups, which would be very slow for any non-trivial application.

See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/tutorial.html
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html

The highlighting and switching behavior is up to your application.  MySQL just 
stores data,  it's up to you to write programs that manipulate it.

In all honesty, if this really is a "personal" application, you may be better 
off using another, simpler method.

Regards,
Gavin Towey

Subject: text records and cross referencing

Hi

i am very new to mysql. I am playing around with it to test it as a
personal vocabulary and language expression manager.
Main field would be a passage from a text work, where each word is
searchable.
Any experience and reports about such use?

A further questions is about the possibility to make cross references, that
is
1) highlighting all records that have been connected (by the user) to the
displayed record
2) switching from a record to another one, within the same database.

Thank you

If you have stored procedures, don't forget to update the db column with the 
new db in mysql.proc as that does not automatically change.

Nope. These are entirely MyISAM tables... So I will probably give this
a try then.
