Migrating form 3.23.49 to 5.0.32
I'm doing the above migration as mentioned in the subject line. I figured I would use the MySQL Migration Toolkit to help it along but it won't let me connect to my 3.23.49 server. Is there any other way to migrate all my data easily. Thanks, Ed -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help with Query
I need to get some duplicate record information from a table and I haven't found any way to do it yet. I figured there might be some type of query I could do using a for each type command. What I have is a table with names and companies. Some people have multiple entries for different companies. What I need to get is the name that has multiple entries along with the company names. Name| Company Joe BlowCompany 1 Joe BlowCompany 2 Joe G. Blow Company 1 Running the query should only return Joe Blow with Company 1 and Company 2. I can find out how many records Joe Blow has or list out each Company record grouped by Name but I only want Names with multiple entries shown. Can anyone help? I'm sure this also makes a difference but I'm stuck using MySQL 3.23.

date_add function
I'm having some trouble setting a future date within a table. I have one column 'this_date' which is a DATE field and I'm trying to add 90 days to it and set a column named 'future_date', also a DATE field. I don't know if the problem is that I'm trying to write the value into the 'this_date' and 'future_date' fields in the same query. UPDATE this_table SET this_date = $this_date, future_date = (DATE_ADD(this_date) INTERVAL 90 DAY) Would this work?

Help with query
I'm trying to do a keyword search within a phrase saved in a table. Here's the query: SELECT * from closedtickets WHERE keyphrase LIKE '%$keyword1%' OR keyphrase LIKE '%$keyword2%' OR keyphrase LIKE '%$keyword3%' The problem I'm having is that the query is returning every record in the table. I only want it to return the records where the keywords (any combination) are contained within 'keyphrase' Any ideas?

Re: problem with mysql.sock
I could be wrong but this may have something to do with ownership and permissions of the socket file. I recently upgraded my MySQL version and had basically the same problem.

I think a quick way to write this query would be (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/UNION.html): ( SELECT magazine FROM pages ) UNION DISTINCT ( SELECT magazine FROM pdflog ) ORDER BY magazine; Thanks for all the help on this one. I just also realized that the server I'm working with has version 3.23.x of MySQL. My only other option now is to create a temp table with distinct data from both tables, is it not?

Re: Security
I guess the easiest way to do this would be to index all transactions with a user id number or something identifying the user. When they log in to the site have the scripts only access the records for that person using a WHERE clause in the queries. You would have to be able to keep track of their user id for them via cookies or sessions or something though. Ed Curtis On Tue, 9 Mar 2004, Mulugeta Maru wrote: Thank you for the kind response.
