Asunto: Good book

Since I'm new with MySQL, I want to apologize for asking questions that
should've been answered by googling, RTFM and such. However, I'm looking for
a good book that deals with MySQL and PHP whether it be single book
(combined with PHP and MySQL) or separate books for each. I am intensive in
Linux Operating System and bash shell scripting, C++, Access and html + css
(using notepad only). With my knowledge, which book(s) do you recommend the
most? (prefably with execrises)

Asunto: GUI for MySQL


This is my first attempt to design and test MySQL. I have used MS SQL for
number of years.  I do appreciate if members of this list can recommend a
good GUI application for MySQL. I want the GUI application to design DB,
design Quiries, etc.

Thanks.

RE: MySQL know

2004-08-11 Thread Chinchilla Zúñiga, Guillermo
En español lo más útil que he visto es:

www.mysql-hispano.org/

Para crear tablas y en general para hacer algo útil en MySQL se necesita aprender SQL, 
hasta donde yo se, con solo MySQL instalado no vas a poder crear aplicaciones y solo 
podrás interactuar con el por medio de la línea de comandos del DOS o bien con algún 
programa como MySQL Control Center, pero esto es útil solo para labores de 
administración del servidor.

Si lo que se quiere son aplicaciones para la web, sugiero tomar algo de tiempo 
adicional y que aprendas PHP (no es difícil) para lo cual tienes que bajarlo e 
instalarlo en www.php.net y también hay que instalar el servidor que puede ser Apache 
www.apache.org (primero esto y después PHP) en el link de http server.

Si se desea utilizarlo con aplicaciones de escritorio puedes utilizar Visual Basic o 
cualquier programa para comunicarse con el por medio de ODBC.

Saludos

RE: sql function for timestamp

2004-07-14 Thread Chinchilla Zúñiga, Guillermo
In MySQL you can do that with: DATE_FORMAT

DATE_FORMAT (column_name,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%i')

Asunto: Re: DBF to MySQL

For some reason, the imported information showed up as garbled nonsense.
The file I was importing was an .xls file.  Do you know if there is another
TERMINATED BY I should be using?  If not, I wonder how I can find out?


A/
I think you could export your xls file into a comma separated value file (CSV). In 
excel File/Save as/CSV then with the Notepad you can delete the first line of the csv 
file (if there are column headers in your xls file).

For example if your xls file is like

Year  NumberDate   Total  Unit ID  Unit Name
20039253   05/05/2003 -36.365,003202   Unidad Programación
20039030   06/03/2003   1   4201   Depto. Consumidores
20039055   14/03/2003  3.000,00 7020 Proyecto de Distribución 
20039798   26/08/2003  3.000,00 3210Sección Transportes y Taller

your csv file will be:

Year;Number;Date;Total;Unit ID;Unit Name
2003;9253;05/05/2003;-36.365,00;3202;Unidad Programación
2003;9030;06/03/2003;1;4201;Depto. Consumidores
2003;9055;14/03/2003;3.000,00;7020;Proyecto de Distribución Subterránea
2003;9798;26/08/2003;3.000,00;3210;Sección Transportes y Taller

If you delete the first row (headers) you will have only the raw data
Then you could save your file as a txt (but I think any extension should work)

Then

LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'myfile.txt' INTO TABLE mytable
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' ENCLOSED BY ''
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

I think you could left out the clause ENCLOSED BY '' because this is the default
 
Also, please note:

1)  If LOCAL is specified, the file is read by the client program on the   
 client host and sent to the server. 
If LOCAL is not specified, the file must be located on the server host  and is 
read directly by the server.

2)  If you have generated the text file on a Windows system, you might  have 
to use LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n' to read the file properly,   because Windows 
programs typically use two characters as a line terminator. Some programs, 
such as WordPad, might use \r as a line  terminator when writing files. To read 
such files, use LINESTERMINATED BY '\r'.



The other question I have is:  do I have to create a table within the MySQL
database with exactly the right number of columns ahead of time for the
import to work? - this is what I did.  If so, is there a way to import info
from a .dbf or .xls file without knowing the structure of the table ahead of
time?

A/

As far as I know you need to know the table´s structure in advance.

From the mysql manual:

By default, when no column list is provided at the end of the LOAD DATA INFILE 
statement, input lines are expected to contain a field for each table column. If you 
want to load only some of a table's columns, specify a column list: 

mysql LOAD DATA INFILE 'persondata.txt'

The whole history is in:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/LOAD_DATA.html

Thanks,

John

 I am wanting to parse the info in a .dbf file (or .xls file for that matter)

Perfomance issues

2004-03-12 Thread Chinchilla Zúñiga, Guillermo

Hi folks:

I would like to know if there are a perfomance loss using PEAR DB comparing with PHP 
native Mysql functions, and if this is a significant issue.
Also I´m wondering if using persistent connections in PHP could lead to have many 
connections at the same time slowing the server, and how to handle this.

Thanks in advance
