Can't untar mysql on Solaris 8
Hi. I've downloaded the .tar.gz files for MySQL 3.23.48, 3.23.47 and 3.23.46 for Sparc-Solaris 8 and all of them complain of a checksum error on the tar-extract. Here's the output of tar xvf of the gunzip'd-tar file: x mysql-3.23.46-sun-solaris2.8-sparc/sql-bench/Results/ATIS-Adabas-Linux_2.0.35_i686-cmp-adabas,mysql, 691 bytes, 2 tape blocks tar: directory checksum error All 3 versions give this error at the same spot. I've downloaded these versions off several mirror sites using both HTTP and FTP through my browser and also using FTP without using the browser and every one gives the same problem. Can anyone please tell me what's going on? Is this a known bug? I'm using Sun's /usr/sbin/tar program. The tar tvf lists out all the contents properly but the extract doesn't work. I've run the tar xf as root and as a normal id - same problem. I am running Solaris 8 on an Ultra-1 workstation.

Batch load of data
Hi. I have a question regarding loading data from text files into tables using the LOAD DATA statement. I tried this under Win98 without success. Basically, I have a file called create.tbl which has CREATE TABLE statements. The last statements in this file are of the form: LOAD DATA INFILE file.dat REPLACE INTO TABLE tbl_name; Then I ran, mysql create.tbl at the DOS prompt. Although it gave no errors, the tables were filled with NULL values (other than the NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT fields). I tried this with just one simple table to start with - it is defined as: CREATE TABLE tbl_name (pid MEDIUMINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(50), PRIMARY KEY (pid)); In the file.dat data file, I only put in 2 rows with one column (the name). I didn't put a column with numbers because it's defined as AUTO_INCREMENT, so I figure the DBMS will take care of creating it properly. The result is that I do have two pids (1 and 2) but the name field in the table is NULL. I tried putting the name values in the file.dat file without quotes and also with single and double quotes, but to no avail. I also put the data file in my current directory, in the data directory and in the database directory, but all gave the same result. In addition, everytime I ran mysql create.tbl, the table kept growing - so, instead of only having 2 entries in it, I now have about 20 or so, where the first id field numbers from 1 to 20 and the other field is all null. Any ideas? Must I put a consecutive number field in the data file anyway as the first column?

Re: Can't untar mysql on Solaris 8
Appreciate those of you referring me to GNU tar - it did untar mysql properly whereas SUN's tar couldn't.

Re: Batch load of data problems
Hi. Resubmitting a post... Basically, my question is if you have defined an INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT id field in a table, and you want to load a data file into the table using the LOAD DATA INFILE command, must you also put the ids in the data file?
