communication error

2006-09-29 Thread Chris Jones

The following is an example of an error in our mysql log files:
[Warning] Aborted connection 1519045 to db: 'ES_buildings' user: 
'esbuildweb' host: 'nrn7.nrcan.gc.ca' (Got an error reading communication 
packets)


Is there some way to determine why/when that happens and to fix our setup 
so it is corrected?

mysql:
 Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.22, for sun-solaris2.8 (sparc) using  EditLine wrapper

Thanks for any insights.

INSERT into select ... ON DUPLICATE KEY??

2006-09-03 Thread Chris Jones
I am tying to dupilicate a set of records changing only one field.   That 
field is part of a UNIQUE key.  So far I copy the records into themselves 
and keep the same number of records:
insert ignore into user_projects select * from user_projects where 
user_id=[EMAIL PROTECTED] and fac_id=FAC-0002 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE 
FAC_ID=FAC-0003


Now in my untrained mind, this should create 4 new, identical  records with 
only the fac_id field changed.


Where am I going wrong?
Thanks.

Re: Is there a way to load non-native Date type with LOAD DATA

2006-09-03 Thread Chris Jones
Use a command line tool to change the date.  I am only familiar with perl 
and it would be a very short script to change to -MM-DD.

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?

Thanks in advance for any help!

David

Table permissions - before the table is created?

2006-08-30 Thread Chris Jones
Can the mysql administrator grant permissions on a table in an existing 
database if that table doesn't exist yet?  This is part of planning for an 
upgrade to an existing application.  The mysql administrator won't be there 
when I add the table to the existing database and I don't have grant 
privileges.

Thanks for that.  Will create the two tables ahead of time which won't 
affect the existing application.

You can't do this using a grant statement because it is bound by existing
tables. You may be able to manipulate the mysql db tables directly - I was
able to insert a row in mysql.tables_priv for a nonexistent table - but I
don't know how this will play out once the table actually is created.
Perhaps give it a try on a test db...?

Re: Newbie - Where do I look for answers?

2003-01-02 Thread Chris Jones
If you are familiar with MS-SQL and SQL in general then reading the manual 
should be no problem.  Likewise, using a command line interface should be 
second nature.  The MySQL manual is very complete.  See chapter 4.  In 
particular see 4.3, it very clearly explains how to setup the root password 
and how to setup new users.




I am a complete newbie to mysql and Linux.

I completed the installation of the 4.0 version of MySQL/InnoDB, and now I
am stuck with permission
problems: Logging in with empty username/password lets me look at the
initial state of the db, but creating new users or new tables through any
front end fails with permission problem messages.

SQL (MS-SQL) is second nature to me, but this is not.

- Where do I find an EASY, straight forward manual about MySQL
administration on Linux

- As the root user, how (and where) do I create new MySQL users, set
permissions correctly?

I would be very greatful for any help

Dietrich
