Stupid Newbie Query Help with AND and OR logical operators
Here's my question. I wrote this query: Select * FROM name WHERE last LIKE d AND choice1=2 OR choice2=2 OR choice3=2; What I'm looking for are records that satisfy the LIKE d condition But then, Only one of the three other conditions need be true: choice1=2 choice2=2 choice3=2 I want to cover the possibilities, e.g., choice1=2 choice2=1 choice3=1 choice1=1 choice2=2 choice3=whatever Or choice1=1 choice2=1 choice3=2 Does this make sense? The query I've written doesn't seem quite right. Because of the AND following the LIKE d condition, it seems like all the records will have to have choice2 equaling 2. Some help clarifying this issue would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Remove a RPM Installation
Please how can I remove a RPM installation. I used MySQL-server-4.1.1-1.i386.rpm to install MySQL, but how can I delete it. shell rpm -e MySQL-server-4.1.1-1 should do the job, assuming that MySQL-server-4.1.1-1 is the correct name. You can verify the package name by typing shell rpm -qa | grep -i my*. That'll give you the exact names of all the mysql rpms installed on your system. Check out http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/rpm.htm for a great tutorial on using rpm.

Upgrade from 3.23.x to 4.0.18
Quick question. I just did an upgrade from source from 3.23.x to 4.0.18. A few things came up. 1. chown -R mysql var causes my RedHat 7.3 to complain. chown: getting attributes of `var': No such file or directory 2. Stopped mysql by typing shell service mysql stop 3. Tried to start using /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# touch: creating `/usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err': No such file or directory chown: getting attributes of `/usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err': No such file or directory Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/var /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No such file or directory /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No such file or directory tee: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No such file or directory 040220 13:04:57 mysqld ended tee: /usr/local/mysql/var/narsil.err: No such file or directory Typing ps -aux | grep my displays: mysql32238 0.0 2.3 54068 11836 ?

RegExp Help
Sorry for the newbie question. [Begin]$Groveling_non-programmer_string_of_excuses[End]. I imported a bunch of records into a table. One of the fields came through bracketed in double quotes, e.g., field data. I want remove the double quotes but not the data bracketed within. E.g., field data to field data. Here's my stab at the SQL: UPDATE 02093_xdir_links SET title * WHERE title REGEXP[]*[]; Will this work?. Is there a better way? Did I get it right? Normally I'd just experiment but this is a live database. Thanks in advance.

RE: RegExp Help
you should be able to use STR_REPLACE. DOH. Sorry, there is NO STR_REPLACE its just REPLACE. jd update 02093_xdir_links SET title = REPLACE(*,,title); Thank you very much for responding. Sorry to be dense but will this SQL find only those records with data in the TITLE field that are bracketed in double quotes and remove ONLY the quotes? E.g., Change the record from: Id Title Address City State Zip 1 Joe 1313 Mockingbird Lane TransylvaniaPA 02098 ^ To: Id Title Address City State Zip 1 Joe 1313 Mockingbird Lane TransylvaniaPA 02098 ^^^ To my untrained eye it looks like the REPLACE, as you wrote it above, searches the title field for anything e.g., *. And replaces it with nothing . Thanks.

Importing Data into MySQL
Sorry in advance for the dumb newbie question but . . . I'm using a content management system and want to avoid the hassle of entering data by hand when I've already got it in a delimited text file. I get the basic concept of using mysqlimport. However, the source file's data doesn't match the target file's structure. Of particular concern for me is that the target table has record id files the would need to be incremented. I get the task on the conceptual level. E.g., map the incoming columns with the appropriate fields in the target table and increment the record id number. I'm a web designer not a programmer. I'm not at all sure how to accomplish this task. Though I would like to learn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

HELLLLP! Databases No Longer Accessible
I seem to be locked out. The trouble started when I deleted the Any user while in phpMyAdmin. After doing that, I reloaded MySQL. MySQL seems to load from the command line using the command mysqld_safe, except the command prompt doesn't return unless I hit control Z. Once I ^Z myself back to the command line, I can access MySQL via only one username. And when I exit as root, the stopped jobs message appears. When I exit all the way, MySQL unloads and the Web sites become inaccessible. I tried following the procedures Paul DuBois' book MYSQL, including bypassing the GRANT tables. I know I must be missing something basic. Help would be appreciated!

RE: HELLLLP! Databases No Longer Accessible
I don't really know exactly what happened. As luck would have it, I had a username with all privileges that WOULD connect. Using that, in combination with shutting down and restarting MySQL, I reorganized the user database and now things work. Thanks.
