Having a bit of a rough time figuring out how to formulate php-mysql

INSERT INTO temp (example) $categoriesIN[$ii] ;
$result4 = mysql_query($sql4, $db);
...snip
this does not work! The other posts work like a charm... but this...
I cannot figure out what I should be entering where... I have tried
several different configurations, but nothing seems to work...
I found this as a model for entering the selections but can't figure
out how to modify it for my needs:
select name=branch_no[] multiple=multiple size=5
option Choose your location(s) /option
option value=31003100/option
option value=31053105/option
option value=3503 3503/option
option value=3504 3504/option
/select
What I would like to do is something like the following:
select name=$categoriesIN[] multiple=multiple
OPTIONChoose Categories.../option
OPTION VALUE=1History
OPTION VALUE=2Temples
OPTION VALUE=2Pharaohs and Queens
OPTION VALUE=4Cleopatra
OPTION VALUE=4Mummies
/SELECT
and going further, I would like to be able to use a table that
actually holds these values to feed them to the code above. I am sure
this is possible but it must take some huge knowledge and experience
to do it.
BUT ...
as I look at things, I am wondering if the FOR statement in the above
should be used to do several INSERTs, that is, one $sql(number) per
selected category... now, would that require many $sqls or many
INSERTs within the $sql ?
first, I think, $categoriesIN is string, but in the form you made it
as an array $categoriesIN[]. I think you have to modify it a little
bit, something like {$categoriesIN}.'[]'
second, I think the php part FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii
count($categoriesIN) ; $ii++ ) can't be part of the mysql statement,
it should be outside the statement
FOR ( $ii = 0 ; $ii count($categoriesIN) ; $ii++ )
{
$sql4 = INSERT INTO temp (example) $categoriesIN[$ii]
;
$result4 = mysql_query($sql4, $db);

nothing wrong with the tables. I'm assuming its a dynamic vs. fix

I cannot. Are you trying to connect via the localhost. It may still be trying to connect to localhost. You might try changing the bind-address statement to bind-address = 0.0.0.0 so that it also listens to localhost as well. Also if you're trying to connect to an ip address instead of a named host, I've found that you have to code your grant statement to have an ip address instead of a hostname.

What I'm doing in my current project is using a data model that has a method for each preference setting, and returns a sensible value by default if the user has no pref set for a given lookup key; otherwise, I return what the user has set. This means adding a method every time I add a preference setting, which on the one hand means adding code - on the other hand, chances are very high that if I am adding the ability for a user to set a preference, I'm already adding code somewhere to ensure that preference has an effect.

Re: www.innodb.com
My guess is that its intentional. Oracle is who they are and MySQL is eating their lunch. I look for them to kill the product to try to drive MySQL out of business or make life difficult for them; hence the reason they're working on a new storage engine of their own. They tried to buy MySQL, but when they couldn't they bought up the two pieces of software that gave MySQL ACID transactions (innodb and Berkely (sp?)). They will renegotiate the contract, but make it very expensive for MySQL to license. You don't honestly think Oracle is going to be honest about this do you? They have absolutely no interest in helping MySQL survive. Sounds pretty fishy to me no matter what they're saying publicly.

Hi Alaister,
Your root password is not actually set. If you do
mysql -u root -ppassword
and it fails, it means that the password is not password
if you do
mysql -u root password
the mysql client will parse password as the database you're trying
to use -- that's just the syntax of the mysql client. Which means
that your password is not very secure, because it's the same as your
database name. You should get an error like this:
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'password'
What you should do is this:
# mysql -u root
set password=password(newpassword);
where newpassword is your new password.
hope this helps.

Yes.
Whenever you have a problem, go back to basics. Can you login as root
on the commandline? What password do you use there? Once you're
there, check root's permissions, but I'd be willing to bet your
password is incorrect, or root is only allowed to logon from localhost
and not the machine the webserver is on.

Hi, I have done an incredibly stupid thing. I have a server that suffered a bit of a failure. It wasn't a hard failure, but it was enough of one to have to rebuild the server from scratch. I was and am running mysql 4.0.22 on Gentoo with a 2.6 kernel. It rocks. However, The dumb thing that I did was fail to perform a mysqldump -a on the machine before I finished killing it. I rebuilt mysql from scratch. I then copied over the my.cnf files and I copied over the old /var/lib/mysql directory in tact. mysql wouldn't start at that point. I then deleted all the files in /var/lib/mysql and ran mysql_install_db. mysql starts automatically. If I create one of the databases and then put the files for that database from the old installation in place of the newly created ones, the database is recognized, but i get errors saying that the columns in the tables are not recognized.

SNIP
To my mind, a boolean is something that can be used in a boolean
context. That is, if flag is a boolean, the following should work as
expected:
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE flag; # rows with flag = TRUE
SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE NOT flag; # rows with flag = FALSE
If you have to compare the column's value to something, it isn't really
a boolean value.
MySQL, like most programming languages, treats 0 as FALSE and any other
number as TRUE. That means that boolean expressions are evaluated
numerically and compared to 0.
In a numeric context, ENUM columns return the value's position in the
list of allowed values, starting with 1. This means that with the
definition
someflag enum('TRUE','FALSE')
someflag evaluates as 1 when it is 'TRUE' and 2 when it is 'FALSE', both
of which are TRUE in boolean context. Hence, you cannot use someflag in
boolean context and get the expected results. In other words, someflag
looks like a boolean if you view the data, but doesn't behave as a
boolean in queries.
I don't quite know what Mark Warner means by abstract a tinyint(1) into
true or false, but I personally find using tinyint for boolean to be a
simple solution. I define someflag TINYINT, then set it to 0 for
FALSE and 1 (or any other number) for true. Of course, if you're not a
programmer it won't look like a boolean when viewing the data (is that
what you don't like, Mark?), but it will behave as one.
With tinyint you get some added flexibility, which may be an advantage,
depending on your application. For example, if I store the number of
children a person has in the tinyint kids, I can use kids in boolean
context:
SELECT * FROM persontable WHERE kids; #people who have children
SELECT * FROM persontable WHERE NOT kids; #people who don't
One more advantage of tinyints is that, with common programming
languages, they continue to function as booleans in your application.
Another option is to take advantage of the special error value in every
ENUM. If you insert a wrong value, mysql replaces it with '', which is
always 0 in numeric context. So, you could define
someflag ENUM ('TRUE', 'T');
If you insert 'FALSE' or 'F' (or 'false' or 'f') into someflag, it will
get the error value, 0 or ''. When you view the data, you will see
'TRUE' or 'T' for TRUE values and blanks for FALSE, and someflag will
behave as boolean in queries.
If your values are 'Y' and 'N', then, strictly speaking, you don't have
a boolean unless you've defined which is TRUE and which is FALSE.
Assuming you want to treat 'Y' as TRUE, you could define
yesflag ENUM ('YES', 'Y');
Inserting 'YES' or 'Y' (or 'yes' or 'y') will get you the corresponding
entries, which are TRUE in boolean context. Inserting 'NO' or 'N' (or
'no' or 'n') will get you blanks, which are FALSE in boolean context.

well. The only annoying thing I can think of, from a programming
perspective, is MySQL's lack of a Boolean type - the manual says use
TINYINT(1) which works fine but is slightly annoying because of the
extra type conversion needed every time you use it. Apparently MySQL
will be implementing the Boolean type soon in accordance with whatever
SQL standard requires it. Quite why it still has not been implemented,
even though MySQL is into version 4, I have no idea - as a programmer I
find this a staggering omission but presumably they have their reasons
and perhaps most people are happy with TINYINT(1), but for clarity of
code TINYINT(1) is inferior to a Boolean type.

MySQL is certainly popular and seems to have very good performance,

MaxDB appears to be more feature-rich and possibly more

Re: MySQL vs .NET
.NET v. MySQL is not really a question. The question your asking is .NET v. J2EE. MySQL doesn't care about the client as long as it communicates properly. There are ODBC drivers as well as JDBC drivers. I think I've seen a C# driver, but then its windows and ODBC/ADO or whatever they want to call the technology this week should do fine. Curtis Haydies said: You can get Native database drivers for Delphi to talk to MySQL your database back end makes no differance to any thing with Delphi God know what perl has to do with any thing totaly not the same thing as Delphi Soap supports every thing, soap is language independant... and is fairly cool. A bit like using CORBA and Delphi. Its only a XML based tansport layer, and its used by .NET as I am sure William knows. Delphi 8 has the best .Net support of any language, even better then VB and C++ but seeing as MS payed borland to implment it, thats not suprising I can how ever highly recomend soap, its exstreamly easy to use, though I havn't tried it from Delphi. Its all the same. Havn't done .Net at all other then the soap part, but if its like Corba (they do the same thing so it should be) then its bloody easy as well. Its all about remote objects. I would say though that Delphi isn't ideal for web services. Your better of thinking about a move to a more web based technology. I loved Delphi for 8 years, but alas, these days PHP is much more fun, works well and is fast. If you do want to consider some thing other then Delphi to do your thing then PHP kicks the hell out of Perl Poor old Delphi is a dieing market here :-( Other then that, really, Delphi to MySQL is just like Delphi to Paradox, or Oracle or any thing else just get the drivers and off you go :-) - Original Message - From: Bill Hess [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: William IT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 12:56 PM Subject: Re: MySQL vs .NET : If you are using Perl, take a look at SOAP::Lite - do not let the name : fool you... www.soaplite.com Combining this with Apache and mod_perl : and given Perl can directly interface with MySQL using Perl's DBI (and : also the countless other modules available on CPAN) we have found this : to be a very robust solution for a distributed and/or multi-tier system. : SOAP::Lite supports MS .Net clients using VB/VC++ since .Net is : pretty much MS's spin on the SOAP protocol, but there are some quirks... : : There are other SOAP variants for other languages like Java, Python, : etc... but not sure how these stack up... : : : William IT wrote: : : I am using Delphi 7 and MySql 4.0.16, since MS release .Net technology and : also Delphi 8 .Net to provide web services application, I want to know how : to make a web services application using Mysql?

Its not very efficient. It'll execute a lot of select statements, but it'll

if you're %var% is only one select, then you fetch it all into and array and
recursively search through the array (memory permitting.) You could also
parse your source file into an array and run through both arrays recursively.
I'm just not doing this here.

Subject: Select via Perl
I am trying to read a file and see if the contents of it exists in the
DB
or not and am trying to do it via a Select.
I try to do a select * into outfile /tmp/result.txt from table where
field
like %$var%; but it always goes through the first two lines of the
input
file and then says the file already exists.
Is this because I read each line of a file in a for loop in perl and the
mysql query tries to recreate the outfile each time? Is there any other
way I can dump the results of the select to a file of some sort?
Thanks..

Re: MySQL vs. PostgreSQL -- speed test
MySQL has posted a very interesting comparison on their website. It appears to be a reasonably fair evaluation. PostgreSQL was faster than MySQL in some areas and MySQL was faster than PostgreSQL in most areas. For speed with all of that functionality, I'd be more inclined to look at DB2 rather than MSSQL since DB2 actually has security. :-) Curtis On Monday 14 July 2003 09:35, Jim Smith wrote: I agree with your opinion in 100%, but in my case I need DBMS with features like subselectes/utf-8/stored procedures but the speed is also very important issue. You might have to spend money! You are saying that there is DBMS with all this features and it is as fast as MySQL ? I don't know, but if there is, it is one you will have to pay for. In any case, speed is as much a matter of application design as a DBMS characteristic. As a minor side issue, we did some _very limited_ testing with MS SQLServer 2000 using unicode v ascii queries. Using unicode, queries tended to run at about half the speed compare to using ascii. This was client server, so it is likely that the increased network traffic is to blame, but bear it it mind. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Which database?
there's a pretty good comparison on the MySQL website and they were quite fair about it. MySQL has been adding features slowly because, above all, they don't want to sacrifice performance for the feature. Each database has its strengths. The bottom line is that you need to figure out just what your requirements are and then see which database suites your needs. If you need to work with extremely large databases (multi GB) I would go with MySQL. It scales to large files extremely well.

Carlos,
please send me your my.cnf. How big is the combined size of your log
files?
MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.9, January 14, 2003
Fixed a bug: if the combined size of InnoDB log files was = 2 GB in a
32-bit computer, InnoDB would write log in a wrong position. That
could
make
crash recovery and InnoDB Hot Backup to fail.
In the first printout:
InnoDB: Starting log scan based on checkpoint at
InnoDB: log sequence number 13 1000286684
InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 13
1000286208
looks like InnoDB is not able to scan the log file at all, not even up
to the checkpoint!
InnoDB: log sequence number 13 1002344016
InnoDB: Doing recovery: scanned up to log sequence number 13
1002343936
The same in the next printout. It has written some 2 MB more log but
cannot
after a crash scan the log at all!
The failing assertion checks when freeing a BLOB or TEXT field that
its length is right:
if (extern_len - part_len == 0) {
ut_a(next_page_no == FIL_NULL);
}
This could be:
1) a bug in InnoDB's log writing;
2) hardware fault, broken disk;
3) serious corruption of the OS file system.
If InnoDB fails to scan lots of log in crash recovery, it means that
the resulting database may have very extensive corruption. That can
explain
why
some of your tables are not visible at all.
There is little hope of recovering your tables. You should resort to a
backup and upgrade to 4.0.13. Then do some heavy processing, for
example,
a
table import, and crash mysqld artificially by
killall -9 mysqld
Look then if InnoDB is able to scan the log in crash recovery.

BTW, I have cleared purchacing licences with my own people, and we do not have a problem. Neither do I not like MySQL, I do. The licence model you have supports a model similar to that of Oricle. Large, small quantity, expensive products. We are at the opposite end. Small low cost products which are Shareware, or low cost. (Even Shareware needs a MySQL Licence.) In this case the MySQL licence is up to 200% of the cost of the product. You say it's cheep... It is for one. I need hundreds/thousands. The licences also cannot be purchaced without an expensive support contract. You gues are too good, I don't need one :) To be fare, you do discounts for low cost software.

I'm making the assumption as a DBA that _all_ the data relevant is in

As I said, sure I could make external functions to do the job. But why? (I did
because I have no choice at the moment)
If the row number is not _used_ but only for show, it _shouldn't_ be
done by the database to properly sequester and segment your data and
program models. However, if you're going to use that row number in any
way (like: lia href=/showdetails.php?id=$rowid$row data/a/li)
then it should be an auto_increment value from the database itself
(although you may very well display a fake programmatically generated ID
as well).
1. There are a lot of functions that return values that have nothing to do with
data contained in the database. Math functions for one, they calculate return values
using data that is in the database. And many many other functions. Why not one more.
They calculate results based on data in the database; the row number is
a meta-value. Unless its a _rowid type value, you're talking about a
cosmetic value that isn't data-related.
In the 4.x series the developers implemented SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and FOUND_ROWS(),
something that could just have easily been handled by external programming...
Those values can be useful within a query though. Also, someone may
have paid for those features (hint).
3. Going through the archives, I have seen many many people ask for it.
Most of those people are now using the methods everyone else on here has
described because they're correct. Lots of people have asked for other
things that may never be done by the MySQL team as well.
4. Those numbers probably already exist, how else does it ORDER BY, it has to put
the results in an array of some kind
I have my doubts, I bet they don't exist :)
For a pseudo-php example:
$results = Select(id, name from names order by name limit $start,
$maxperpage);
print ol;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
? lia href=showdetail.php?id=?php echo $row['id'] ??php echo
$row['name'] ?/a/li ?php
}
echo /ol
You'll see how the 'ol' tag provides me with numbered results up to the
number of $maxperpage on each display, but I use the actual unique ID
value from the database as a reference value. The 'ol' values are just
as easily put in the PHP itself, of course, since they have nothing to
do with the data (no association to that data).

Just to be a security nut, you shouldn't use the encryption functions in
MySQL at all unless you're always connecting (guaranteed) to the server
as localhost (and always will be). You should always do your
encryption/decryption/hashing in your program and then do the queries
based on that data. Download a copy of mcrypt and mhash and you'll see
that they're quite easy to use. openssl is another option if you feel
so inclined.
For example:
$pass = ...;
$pass_md5 = md5sum($pass);
mysql_query('update users set password = $pass_md5 where id = $id');
or
$res = mysql_query('select password from users where id = $id');

I remember something about encode from source code. If I remember

always known to be keep-away algorithms.
If you need security, always hire expert to analyze your needs and

results of doing security without knowing about topic. Often they lead

Use MD5() for one-way hashing where result never needs to be decrypted
(usually passwords)
Use DES_ENCRYPT() for encrypting data if you want to decrypt it at some
point.
Surely do not use PASSWORD() anywhere.

Re: stored procedures and triggers
I have to agree here.If one doesn't know the schema and has to figure out how to locate keys in related tables, then one's not paying too much attention to the constructs of the data set. Lets not forget joins, eh? What network traffic? The list of tables? How much traffic is there in a query/result set when finding a key? The table structures? We're not talking about MB's of keys. We're talking about a couple KB's even on a very large data set. HTTP requests to the intranet server for each little graphic file will generates more chat than you'll generate with your query. The query is sent to the machine running dbms and it returns a result set. This isn't like you're using Microsoft Access or DBase/Foxpro where the query is executed by the client against a remote file forcing all that data to be transferred back and forth using a chatty protocol like NetBIOS over IP. Even though you haven't installed NetBIOS on your Win2K/XP/9n/ME box, its still there (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) and is the primary method of connection(less) between Windows machines. Even the MySQL ODBC connector uses pure TCP/IP on port 3306 non secure network? SSH is your friend. Curtis Maurand Maine Line Systems That's only if you access it directly from client. What I was talking about is AppServer sitting next to MySQL server. Preferably on the same computer. Agree that for some cascade actions triggers are very useful. But most of the folks just try to push all business logic into sp/triggers. And that's better to do in AppServer for large-scale apps. So it's strange when the initial poster said that they are core of his development. Because they shouldn't be. Yuri. Yuri. I don't agreed Yuri. triggers and sp are really useful and make the process run faster. Think on this: the user is trying to delete a record on a table. The primary key of that table is present in several other tables in the database. Before deleting the record you should search in every table for the primary key to be deleted, and if you find it the record couldn't be deleted. Well, with triggers and sp, all the job of opening every related table and look for the primary key will take place in the server, minimizing time and network traffic. Without triggers and sp, you have to manually code the process and every table you open is a request to the server and data navigating trough the network. The process is slower and more vulnerable in a non secure network. In an Internet environment triggers and sp take more importance. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

get it to AN work in interactive mode though.
AN In a file (create_tables.sql) I have:

AN c:\mysql\data\mydb mysql mydb create_tables.sql
AN No errors, but when I populate the table with values (also from a

I guess that your UserID in the file begins from 1, not from 1000. You
can get values that are starting from 1000, if you insert into column
NULL or 0 or if you insert values from 1000 manually :)
Yes, I understand that, but I'm trying to create the table and
initialize UserID by redirecting a .sql file into mysql (batch mode). I
don't want to insert a 'dummy' record starting at 1000, I want MySQL to
do that, like it says in MySQL by Paul DuBois [p.94, chap.2.]. Again,
this works in interactive mode, but NOT in batch mode. Can you or
someone explain how this can be done in batch mode?
AN The values I'm inserting for
AN UserID are all 'null' (without quotes).
How did you inserted values? Manually or from a file?
As I indicated above, from a file.
