Re: datadir and socket
You are absolutely right! In the /usr/bin/safe_mysqld, there're two lines where /var/lib/mysql... is residing. To me this looks kind of rediculous (sorry for my stupid comment), why they have those configuration info hard-coded in the script? Since we already have my.cnf so the conf info was supposed to be taken from it, but not hard-coded... Sorry again for those great guys who created this brilliant SQL server... Alex But still I have question regarding my.cnf: I searched the whole file system and found only one my.cnf in /etc/, and no .my.cnf. All I can find about the datadir and socket configurations are just staying in /etc/my.cnf and /etc/init.d/mysql. Does the 4.1.2 manual also not speak of: defaults-extra-file The file specified with --defaults-extra-file=#? My bet, though, as elsewhere suggested, is on a script, like mysqld_safe, running mysqld with, --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql Grep is your friend. :) - Mark - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: datadir and socket
Hi Stefan, Thanks a lot! With your help my issue resolved. Now both the command line connection and PHP connection can work fine. But still I have question regarding my.cnf: I searched the whole file system and found only one my.cnf in /etc/, and no .my.cnf. All I can find about the datadir and socket configurations are just staying in /etc/my.cnf and /etc/init.d/mysql. So, I really don't understand that, although I have make all the necessary changes, why for some certain situation mysql still takes the old configuration info and where it takes them from. Again, thanks for your help and patient. I know my issue already resolved. I asked the question because I want to learn something more in detail. Best Regards, Alex Alex, If I put a copy of my.cnf to datadir would that be any help? Any what is home_directory? Sorry I am kind of newbie for in-depth knowledge of MySQL. Nope. You don't have three copies of my.cnf (one of them actually called .my.cnf, note the dot) to make things more complicated, but to give you more flexibility. Ask the gurus on this list (Paul?! ;-) for a good example why one should have /etc/my.cnf (global options) AND datadir/my.cnf (server options). But for .my.cnf, you can use this to store username/password for the MySQL client, or even to store a different socket through which to connect to the server. And why the /etc/init.d/mysqld (this is a shell script) still has some hard-coded configuration information even we already have 3 copies of my.cnf? I had assume it should be able to retrieve conf info from conf files, and this was what the role of a conf file supposed to be I leave this one to the Linux folks. [client] OK, I added this entry into my.cnf, and it does help for connection issued from command line, but it doesn't work for PHP connection function (issued drom web). Right. This only works for clients that read the option file(s) when starting. PHP won't, but with PHP that's no problem, as the manual explains for mysql_connect(): The server parameter can also include a port number. eg. hostname:port or a path to a socket eg. :/path/to/ socket for the localhost. Note: Support for :port was added in PHP 3.0B4. Support for :/path/to/socket was added in PHP 3.0.10.

Re: datadir and socket
Thanks for your reply. but I did correctly set the mode and ownership. Alex Basically the problem is only the ownership and it has to be owned by mysql. The problem is indeed there, how to chown or chmod those data so it can be owned by mysql. JD Alex Shi wrote: Hi, I have a MySQL 2.23.36 running on a Linux RH 7.1.

where clause question
Hi, I need a where clause in following situation: Say I want to query two tables: A and B. In table A there is field Afn, while in table B there ere 3 fields: Bfn1, Bfn2 and Bfn3.

How Query and Fetch work?
Yesterday I posted a question yet got response. The question is regarding to how Query works. Now I repost it in a more specific way. I am just wondering how MySQL API functions work. Let's look at following two functions: 1. mysql_query(), 2. mysql_fetch_array() To my understanding, mysql_query() will definately to its job with MySQL server. But how about the latter? Does it just fetch data from client/local buffer, which is previously put in by mysql_query(), or still has to goto server side to fetch data?

Query Behaviour
My situation is to access a remote MySQL server, and of course I do care about traffic. Suppose In a script there's a query: $result = mysql_query (select * from employ where age45) or die (Invalid query); I am just wondering that if MySQL server would return all the query result in total, so that the following fetches won't go to server again. This is what I expect. However if it does in the other way, I mean MySQL would hold the result and the following fetches had to go server to obtain dataOh my GOD it will definately cause trouble- some traffic I also posted this message to PHP list. I am not sure if it is a MySQL question. Thanks for all reply in advance!

Backup and Restore
Hello, I have a question regarding to table backup and restore. Suppose we have a table of sales waste book. Now I need to backup data within a certain period of time (from date1 to date2) from the table, and after backup the data should be deleted from the table. Also the backuped data can be restored back to the table. I just want to know if there is any built-in functionality in MySQL to do this. Yes I know with combination of normal sql statements this job can be done but I still like to know if we can make things simple.
