Re: Is there a way to load non-native Date type with LOAD DATA
I have a pretty large file with a Date column in the format M/D/. Is there a way to either change the Date data type in the table or a method to indicate the date format in the LOAD DATA statement in order to handle this? If you are using MySQL 5.0.3 or greater, you should be able to transform your existing string date datq as you use LOAD DATA statement... Read up on the syntax for utilizing column lists, user variables and a SET clause in conjunction with LOAD DATA --- http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/load-data.html Then the you can use the SET clause to transform your existing string date data into MySQL's date type using the STR_TO_DATE(str,format) function --- http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.html Basically what you will need to do is specify the column list in your LOAD DATA statement but for your string date data you will want to substitute a user variable, then include that user variable in your SET clause inside the STR_TO_DATE function with the relevant format. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: stuck on localhost authentication
insert into user (user,host) values ('jeff','localhost');
flush privileges;
grant all on databaseName.* to jeff;
jeff = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
not [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So in your statement you should have used...
grant all on databaseName.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED];
select user,host from user; returns
jeff localhost
In Java, I use:
DriverManager.getConnection( /localhost/databaseName , 'jeff',null );
when the application tries to connect, DriverManager.getConnection() gets a
bad handshake error.
So I set the password in mysql with:
set password for jeff = password('xyz');
Similarly... you need to use [EMAIL PROTECTED]
now select user,host, password from user; returns 2 rows
jeff localhost
jeff % *4232432323
I think this is the problem - the following getConnection() method is
directed to the 2nd entry because it has a password, but it's not localhost
so my localhost-based Java app is denied.
In Java, I use:
DriverManager.getConnection( /localhost/tm , 'jeff','xyz' );
Then I get an authentication failed error.
Connector/J on 'nix types, only works via TCP/IP. Your app may be trying to
connect via unix socket. If the user/password fix does not work specify
127.0.0.1 in your connection setting (or even omit host since 127.0.0.1 is
default host value). Also, make sure your MySQL server is listening via
TCP/IP. If it is not, be sure to take the necessary security precautions
before doing so, and/or just enable TCP/IP on 127.0.0.1 (the user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is valid for connections on 127.0.0.1).

Re: Backup questions
2) sometimes, I like to copy just a single table or so out of the backup file, and restore just that. You might want to try out MySQL Administrator which can often be used to restore backups from mysqldump. It can _selectively_ restore tables from a backup file. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/administrator/en/mysql-administrator-restore.html -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
