Re: Export from Access
I recently exported a large Access database to MySQL using MyODBC. It took me a while to figure out that MyODBC was the thing to try, but once I did tried it, it only took me a few minutes to do the export. I highly recommend that approach (MyODBC). -Eric Original Message From: Josh Trutwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Date: Tue, May-17-2005 10:19 AM Subject: Re: Export from Access On Tue, 17 May 2005 17:17:31 +0100 S.D.Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, can anyone explain how I would export a database created in Access to MySQL using PHPMyAdmin - I can't seem to import the data as csv or txt.

Re: text retrieval functions
Alaios [EMAIL PROTECTED] added: Thx for your interest.. The type of my question is for learning what to choose. I would use what u suggest me.. The only information i can provide u is that i am running linux.. If u can suggest me the version of mysql and the appropriate function and after i will continue searching... I am searching if i can implement some functionality of an information retrieval system using mysql...Do u have any resources available? Alaios, MySQL is well suited for that sort of thing, but you'll have some homework to do. You need a programming language to build your information retrieval system in, and you would likely use that same language to access the data in your database. Potential languages are many and include C++, PHP, Perl, Python, etc., etc. I presume you intend to serve (as in server) your information to many people. If you would do this via a browser/the web (intranet or Internet) you might prefer a language like PHP over others, the point being you would want to decide this at the beginning of your project - how you will provide the data to people not sitting at your PC. MySQL has tons of capabilities and applications - its not just for the web - but web applications are an easy thing to gain some knowledge of. Suggestions: - Google terms like web MySQL tutorial or PHP MySQL tutorial and do some reading to get oriented - Buy a book like MySQL (Paul DuBois) or PHP and MySQL Web Development (Luke Wellington, Laura Thomson). If the price of a new edition is cost prohibitive, try picking up a used (good' or new) condition book via Amazon.com - an easy way to get information on subjects you are not sure you are ready to invest in. - Read the online MySQL documentation, and or download it to your PC - Download MySQL (any version, but the latest stable version makes sense) and start playing with it. good luck - have fun exploring. Eric P.S. I'm not really PHP-positive-biased -- it's not my favorite language -- but I know there is an awful lot of tutorial material on the web re: PHP/MySQL... -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Full Text Search - Limits?
Thomas Spahni [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the column type will limit the number of characters per row. A column of type TEXT will hold up to 65,535 characters but with LONGTEXT you can put up to 4,294,967,295 charcters into one row. I have an application with Texts of up to 200 pages in one column. Full-Text Search is handling this very well. Thanks... Really?! If I can follow-up with another question, does experience suggest Full-Text Search handles a large number of such documents efficiently? For example, I am expecting to have (up to) one million documents in my database. I was considering breaking each document into paragraphs for search efficiency, but if Full-Text Search can search return results quickly on a large number of long (e.g. 10,000+ character) documents, my database has just become much simpler.

Full Text Search - Limits?
I've looked in the documentation but didn't see any indication of the limits of Full-Text Search in terms of how many characters/words it can process per row. For example, if I have a column with 4,000 character strings in it, can I use it effectively in Full-Text Searching? What if the column holds gigabytes of text in each row? My mind is probably stuck in an indexing paradigm, but I'd like to know where the limits (of Full Text search) are, if any. Can anyone advise?

Mysql by itself?
OK, I need to ask a stupid question. I normally run MySQL on Apache. I have a second machine [a laptop] which I can't get Apache to run on [the ports are restricted/closed]. Is there a way to run MySQL without a server like Apache underneath it? I see MySQL coined a database server; have I overlooked that it really is a server by itself?

EP wrote: OK, I need to ask a stupid question. Obviously, MySQL can run on its own, not quite sure what you really mean by this though. Amazing that it wasn't obvious to me, but I originally installed MySQL after installing Apache, based on home brew instructions that implied a dependency; then I always had Apache running when I used MySQL and was convinced of the flatness of the earth. My problem on my 2nd machine _was_ : Error 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061) Long story short, now realizing the MYSQL error message had nothing to do with my Apache error messages, I looked and found the MySQL config. error -- fixed it, setting the port to 3306 in the ini file.

RE: web hosting question (slightly off topic)
is it just me, or do hosts underestimate how much data we might want to put in a MySQL database? For instance, 250MB, the largest plan from that host would not come close to holding all my data. I guess what I'm really curious about: do others construct large (GB) databases in MySQL? Is there some reason not to I should know?

SQL syntax? [Select within Insert]
Struggling to get an INSERT to work, can anyone help?
Here's my scenario:
Students[table]
Student_ID [primary key, auto-increment]
Student_name
Student_sex
Extra_Credit[table]
EC_ID [primary key, auto-increment]
Student_ID
Points
First: INSERT INTO Students (Student_name, Student_sex) VALUES('Josh
Baxter, M);
[suceeds]
Then: INSERT INTO Extra_Credit (Student_ID, Points) SELECT MAX(Student_ID)
from Students,
(1) ...VALUE ('25');
or
(2) ... '25' as Points;
Either one fails... Any hints on syntax to achieve the insert (pulling the
Student_ID in from the just modified record in the Students table)?
TIA!
