Need book, but have basic question ??

2003-01-09 Thread Charles Mabbott
I have downloaded the ODBC driver and while I am fumbling [still 
reading] about that the reference it makes if for *.MDB similar 
extensions.  I have cruised through the on-line manual and still 
have no idea how to create one of those type extensions with a 
MySql database.  

I am sure it is in there, but darned if I can find it  Or 
am I doing something I shouldn't?

RE: Load local data infile problem

2003-01-08 Thread Charles Mabbott
What I did was setup my file in mysql directory (i.e. fred.txt) 

LOAD DATA INFILE C:\\mysql\\fred.txt INTO TABLE data_table;

Hope this helps, but only a workaround...

Subject: Re: Load local data infile problem

Prathmesh,

 I have just installed mysql and am facing problems with the
 Load data local infile problem. I went through the manual and did
 all that was said like including the command
 --enable-local-infile and --local-infile[=1], but it does not
 seem to work.

I posted the same problem a couple of days ago. LOCAL will not work
because of a security improvement the MySQL folks applied.

As far as I could figure out, the only way to solve this issue is to
grab a source distribution and compile MySQL with --enable-local-infile.
All the command line options the manual describes do not work at all!

I wonder if - finally and hopefully - someone from MySQL will reply to
the LOCAL problem mails, and tell us what to do (maybe there's a
workaround), or when the problem will be solved.

Regards,

Subject: Count and Selects


I'm trying to get a count of records by combining a search from 2
seperate
tables.

I have both listings and agents as tables. What I need to do is get a
agent, ad count for all the agents listed in agents even if they don't
have any ads in listings.

Here's the query:

select name, count(*) as cnt from agents where name = listings.agent;

I keep getting an error saying unknown table listings but it is
definately there.

TIA,

Ed

RE: Access to MySQL

2002-12-16 Thread Charles Mabbott
Yves,

I am always open for cleaner method, but what I did was in MySQL created
a table 'member' for data.

In Access exported as .txt make sure tab sequential.

Back in MySql I made database active that had 'member'
And did a:
mysql  load data infile c:\\mysql\\tmp.txt into member;

it actually went in quite cleanly.  I am sure there are probably better
ways, I am always willing to learn.  But this is what worked for me
today.

Regards,
Chuck

RE: MySQLd-nt -3.23.53 Max

2002-12-14 Thread Charles Mabbott
I have some Access pages hooked to web, but a newbe with this [mysql] on
laptop.  Running NT, windows office '98.  I have found some stuff going
through tutorial, which I am impressed at how much is really working
right out of the book.  I am sure has been found.  but

I was not able to get [following] to work:

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE pet.txt INTO TABLE pet;  {tutorial}  not
supported

LOAD DATA INFILE c:\\mysql\\pet.txt INTO TABLE pet;

works fine and the '\' is a delimiter, so must be repeated.
