Next Unique Number - Generation

2011-07-21 Thread Vikram A
Hi there,

I need a technical help fro you, 
I have developed a software for college  school. Here we have concept called 
register number/admission number. These are two unique umber for each student. 
My application resides Client/server model. 
These numbers will be generated (some defined format) to each student when they 
are admitted at first time. This admission process is taken place at different 
nodes at a time.  
In this scenario, I am facing difficulty that, the same number is generated at 
time in two machines. (Logic is newest number will be displayed in the node 
before admission).

How can I stop this logical issue?
Can i have solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Neil,

thank you for your response,
The admission number/register number will contain text/symbol(-,/,#). Is it 
possible to keep this as increment ?

Getting automatic failover right is near impossible and it is very
easy to destroy your data. I strongly suggest not attempting this
project.

I can think of several ways to accomplish this (or close to it).

 * Assign each server a number and prefix/append that number to the unique
ID.
 * initialize each table on each server at a different huge number so they
don't ever collide:
ALTER TABLE `students` AUTO_INCREMENT=1000;
Other server:
ALTER TABLE `students` AUTO_INCREMENT=2000;
 * don't re-invent the wheel and just use UUID()
 * make the primary key a combination key of a regular auto-increment and
NOW() or RAND() or some other unique column of the table itself or something
like IP number of the server, etc.
 * setup a trigger to alter the primary key accordingly prior to insert.
Maybe one server is even numbers and the other is odd numbers, or use MOD()
or other math to have a pool of servers.

MySQL refusing to accept passwords

2011-07-21 Thread Tim Thorburn

Hello,

For those keeping score, this will be the second time in the past few 
months I've come upon this problem.  To recap, this is happening on a 
development laptop running Win7 64-bit Ultimate and MySQL 5.5.13.   This 
morning, all was working well.  This evening, I launched MySQL Workbench 
5.2.34 CE to work on a table.  When I attempt to access the server from 
within Workbench, I'm now prompted with a window asking for my 
password.  Of course, my password is not accepted when I enter it - I'm 
presented with error #2000.


Just to confirm, mysql --version returns:
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.13, for Win64 (x86)

This is not an upgrade, after my last mishap, I once again formatted the 
laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit as well as 
MySQL 5.5.13.  I've begun digging through bugs.mysql.com, but I'm not 
seeing any standing out.  I should point out that this problem also 
breaks any sites running on this dev laptop as all passwords are no 
longer accepted.


Any thoughts on what may be causing this?  It seems to be happening 
every month or so at this point.


Thanks in advance,
-Tim Thorburn
