datafile.MYI has been destroyed & can't recover

2002-03-23 Thread Andy Woolley

Hi,

I've got a 300 MB database file with a useless MYI file and I cant seem to
reconstruct it. Anyone know how I can get the data back.

if I use myisamchk -o  it destroys all the data in the file so I'm kinda
stumped.

Cheers
Andy

PS I need to enter SQL and Query cos this mail bouced at first.

Re: MySQL.org

2001-12-30 Thread Andy Woolley

Hi,

Well, it certainly seems to be pointing to MySQL.com alright.

Although the domain name registrant is still NuSphere and DNS still appears
to be handled by NuSphere's command the IPAddress it resolves to is
definitely that of MySQL.com.

Hmmm, I certainly hope this is justice and not just carrot dangling.

Does anyone have any info from the team yet?

Regards
Andy.

Re: Nusphere is spamming me (Interesting Stuff)

Wait until you read this.

For a long time now Nusphere has been treading on far too many peoples toes
(who do they think they are) not only are they annoying MySQL users with
their exasperating antics they are also trying to steal MySQL from the very
people that actually wrote the software.

Dont forget,they have registered http://www.mysql.org for some very bizzare
reasons.

You don't have to take my word for it either there is some info about it at

http://searchdatabase.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid13_gci75904
5,00.html


Also, http://www.linuxgram.com/156/ states that NuSphere, the MySQL start-up
and offshoot of Progress Software, has hired itself a president.
"NuSphere, the MySQL start-up" ??? whats that all about.

http://boston.internet.com/people/article/0,1928,2041_593741,00.html
has this to say;
NuSphere was founded in June and is a subsidiary of Progress Software
(NASDAQ:PRGS). Its products include MySQL, an open source Web development
platform. Come on guys who do they think they are trying to fool.


And finaly, the distributor of MySQL  is complaining about the antics of
Microsoft, oh dear.
http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,2781638,00.html?chkpt=zdnnp1tp
02
"Microsoft can't beat us technically, so they've decided to strangle us in
legal paperwork," said Lorne Cooper, president of NuSphere, distributor of
the MySQL open source database system.

So, what do you think we should do about all this.

Andy Woolley.

Re: mysql.org

2001-07-15 Thread Andy Woolley

The impression I get from the .org site, is that they are promoting a
product called MySQL, and that MySQL AB (found at mysql.com) is a different
product all together. This, is in my opinion is simply not on.

I have been using MySQL for many years and I am now wondering if there
actually is a difference between MySQL and MySQL AB simply because mysql.org
are implying such a fact. Their web site is also giving me the impression
that they are responsible for the development of MySQL.I know Nusphere have
given both time and money to the development of MySQL but I really don't
think it quite justifies building a web site with the intention of deceiving
users that may not know the full history of MySQL.

I'm no lawyer but I would say that the content on mysql.org is very
misleading and should be changed, pronto.

Another thing that concerns me greatly, is that almost every page on
mysql.org contains the word free. Too much use of the word free, to me,
sends "big time" warning signals.

Kind regards,

Andy.

Inserting Date Formats ??

2001-05-03 Thread Andy Woolley

Hi,

I have a date in a string like so "May 02, 2001 09:15:57" and this date is
not a standard MySQL date and so it wont insert correctly.

My question is this, is there a function to convert the date to something
that MySQL can understand or do I have to convert it manualy?

Thanks in advance.

Andy Woolley.

Re: DROP COLUMN

2001-02-16 Thread Andy Woolley

Werner,

Your syntax is correct and valid for MySQL.

The problem could lie with your ODBC driver. What version are you on?

Try downloading a utility for administering MySQL. UrbSQL is good from
www.urbanresearch.com and see if that can drop the column.

Good luck.

Re: Virus Alert - For Your Info.

2001-02-13 Thread Andy Woolley

Guys,

I know it's off topic but this virus seems to be spreading quite violently,
I've had to remove from one of our clients machines this morning.

If you become infected with it, it's a simple remove procedure.

1. Remove the reference to OnTheFly in the registry, look for the text VBS
and WORM within the key to make sure you've got the right key.
2. Delete the file annakournikova.jpg.vbs from C:\$windir.

That should do it. Outlook Express users might be lucky in that it may not
send itself to all address book entries, but I can't guarantee it.

The best avoidance is not to open the damn thing at all just delete it, but
its easier said than done.

Hope this helps
