RE: microsoft sequel server
Look at the EMS family of MySQL products. They have a data pump utility that works to move data from lots of sources to MySQL. Also, Borland has a data pump utility packaged with their development tools. There's also a utility called DBScriptor that works well to migrate data.

RE: Codes for U.S. Counties
You should try the USGS or the USPS sites. I would expect that either of them might offer a set of standard codes for identifying counties from the US. Dave -Original Message- From: David Blomstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2004 9:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Codes for U.S. Counties I have a big database focusing on U.S. counties. I'd like to assign each county a code for use as a key. I'm thinking of simply using the state postal code, followed by numerals. For example, Arizona's counties would be arranged alphabetically, beginning with az1, az2, az3, etc. I just wondered if anyone on this list has worked with counties in databases and is aware of a pre-existing code system that's in fairly wide use. It would be nice to make a database that's compatible with other databases, if they share a common code for counties. Thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

RE: mysqldump and auto_increment
Gabe, There are actually some problems caused by how auto increments are tracked in the database. We do our backups by using mysqldump at night and preserving all of the log files that were created during the day. The problem occurs during recovery where auto increment values can be incremented even though a record wasn't stored. In our case, that causes a situation where we add a row in an agent table, then using the value of the agent-id we create a number of rows in other tables. However, when that gets replayed in circumstances where we restore a mysqldump (effectively placing us at a begin-of-day point), then replay logs, we will link the subsequent records with other people rather than with the agent to whom they are supposed to be linked. It would be nice to have that resolved, but for now we are redesigning some of our processes to avoid the issue.

The installation manual does not seem to discuss about such issues. Do I need to remove my 3.23 before I run the installation? -- but that's not what the manual says, though. The first warning msg, is that a problem, too? Thanks.
Zeos, MySQL problem
Good Afternoon! We're building an application with Delphi 7.0, the Zeos controls and MySQL v.4.0.15 which runs on a Red Hat 7.3 server. We are experiencing a problem where when a person lets the application sit for a while, we're losing dataset connectivity that doesn't restore itself. I've been studying the documentation and I'm not finding any settings that would stop the timeout from happening. If anyone is aware of what to change, or has experienced the same problem, please let me know. BTW, I wasn't sure that this would be the place to post this sort of question and would appreciate some guidance where I should go instead if necessary. Thanks!

RE: Zeos, MySQL problem
Thanks, Jon. I'll try that and report back. -Original Message- From: Jon Frisby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 3:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Zeos, MySQL problem You can disable connection timeouts at the MySQL server level. You should check the docs to be sure, but I think the relevant variable is wait_timeout -- setting it to 0 should disable connection timeouts. -JF -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 12:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Zeos, MySQL problem Good Afternoon!

RE: Choosing between VARCHAR and TEXT
One additional consideration would be if you're planning on doing a lot of mailing you should consider having some sort of address validation software. Once you settle on that package, it will also help you determine maximum field/column sizes. After looking at the package(s) you may decide to offer more fields as well. -Original Message- From: William Fong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 10:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Choosing between VARCHAR and TEXT Will any names or addresses exceed 255 characters? The documentation recommends to use the smallest column size possible. -will Real-time Chat: irc.freenode.net - #mysql ( http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/IRC.html ) - Original Message - From: Paul Fine [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 21, 2003 7:34 AM Subject: Choosing between VARCHAR and TEXT Can anyone tell me what is better to use for items such as names and addresses? I suspect VARCHAR(max anticipated length) but why? Is it because Text will pad?
