Re: Why can't I kill the query cache?

I would show them a blue 1998 good conditioned camry first but farther down

I need some basic understanding of MySQL table crashes. Maybe you can
help me, I think it's so basic, no one ever wrote about it. (Until
now! ;)) The mysql manual just says 'if you have a crashed table you can
repair it.' Well...


1. What IS a table crash? What file/relation/... gets corrupted? And how
does table recovery basically work?


2. If you had a crashed table: Where would you start looking for the
reason? And where would you look next?


3. What precautions can one take to avoid a table crash? Are there any
symptoms that show up when a table crash is about to happen? (like: out
of swap memory, disk full, too much system load, ...?)



Any comments/hints/links appreciated,
thanks in advance,

I have two tables, one is a list of users and the other is a list of 
events for each user.  It is a one to many relationship.  The event 
table is pretty simple just an event type and a the date and time of the

I need a query that shows all events of a certain type for each user, 
very simple so far.  In fact the query I use now is simply,

SELECT u.FName, u.LName, e.EventType, DATE(e.DateTime)
FROM user u
JOIN event e USING(UserID)
ORDER BY u.LName, u.FName, e.EventType, e.DateTime


The twist comes in that there can be several records for a given user 
and event type all on the same day, in a case like that, I only want the 
query to show one record.  So I need one record per user per event type 
per day.  The query will strip the time part off of the date time field 
and only display the date.  We don't really care if that event happened 
1 or 10 times in one day just that it happened at least once on that day 
for a user.

Hey all,

I'm trying to get my MySQL server configured so outside connections can

My server is running on FreeBSD 6.0 and the my.cnf file looks like this 
currently.


[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /usr/local/mysql/bigskypenguin.com.pid
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr

tmpdir = /tmp
language = /usr/local/share/mysql/english/
bind-address = 192.168.xxx.xxx

# skip-networking

My server has two nics, one for internal access at the 192.168.xxx.xxx 
address, and another for external access at 76.343.xxx.xxx


It is this second IP, the external one, I would like to implement so 
that the database server is accessible externally to people through 
OpenOffice.org 2.4. To accomplish this I changed the file to:


[mysqld]
user = mysql
pid-file = /usr/local/mysql/bigskypenguin.com.pid
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
port = 3306
basedir = /usr
datadir = /usr/local/mysql
tmpdir = /tmp
language = /usr/local/share/mysql/english/
bind-address = 76.343.xxx.xxx
log = /var/log/mysql.log
# skip-networking

But configured in this way, the MySQL server will not restart.

I attempt a

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh restart

But the server does not start until I change the address back to the LAN 
address.


Any help would be appreciated. I have not found via Google anyone else 
having this issue.

My problem is that the application (php based) resides both on local
intranet and in internet (two different servers), remote machine is in
intranet and needs ip 10.10.10.2 to access database, and local host (mysqld
resides in) can only use localhost. Development and testing of application
is done in intranet so basically I need two different configuration files
depending on where the application is running to access the database.

 


I’ve tried removing the ‘localhost’ from the user and only leaving ‘%’ with
no difference at all. I’ve also tried the –protocol=TCP option with no luck
either.

Use explain, and find out.
MySQL may reverse the two and join A to B inorder to use A's index.
Since there is no WHERE clause, only one of the tables needs an index.

Re: Lock Tables Question

2007-06-04 Thread Gerald L. Clark

David T. Ashley wrote:

I decided to go with a simple paradigm for my web-based database.  Rather
than transactions, each process locks the entire database while it is
changing something, then unlocks it.  This just serializes access (all

The method I was using is something like:

LOCK TABLE thistable, thattable, theothertable, 
goshthislistcangetlongtable;

Do whatever is needed;
UNLOCK TABLES;

I probably botched the syntax above.

Rather than enumerate every table in the database (which could get to be a
long list), I wondered if it is possible to just lock one table, with the
gentleman's agreement that in order to modify the database, every process
must first lock that particular table.

You could use a string lock for this.

Hi Jerry,

I really appreciate the good advice.

However, my original question is still unanswered.  My original question is
whether I can lock one table (as a gentleman's rule followed by all
processes) to serialize access to the database consisting of many tables.

LOCK TABLE x;
Manipulate many tables, perhaps not even including table x;
UNLOCK TABLES;

My question is really whether MySQL might do some strange optimizations ...
or somehow buffer the middle query so that it completes after the UNLOCK.

Thanks, Dave.

Once you issue a LOCK TABLES command, you may not access any tables not 
in the LOCK statement. You must lock *ALL* tables you will use, perform

your updates, and then UNLOCK TABLES.

Caveat emptor: I haven't tested this in about a year.

Are you perchance using a table type of MyISAM?  I seem to recall  that 
MyISAM has a hard time actually representing NULL internally.   [ ... 
Thinks for a minute ... ]  I remember something about spaces,  like, I 
think I did


INSERT ( val1, val2, NULL ) INTO myTable;

and was only able to get the tuples back when I did

SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE col3 = ' ';  -- a space character

If this is the case, you might consider using a different table type,  
such as InnoDB.


HTH,

Kevin



MyISAM has no problem representing NULL.

Yes you should shutdown the database before doing a mysqlhotcopy.
However you could use the flush tables with read lock so that your
tables are consistent (and will still allow for select to go through the db)

Best luck



mysqlhotcopy does not require a database shutdown. If it did, it
would not be a hot copy.

If your multi-column index starts with model or tyre_type, then no.

Assuming you mean tables, not database (as mysqldump doesn't store the 
database name in the dump file [or at least never has for me]):


sed -e 's/mthosp/another_name/'  source.sql  dest.sql



1) This is risky, because it will also change (for example)
   govmthospital to govanother_nameital which may be a bit more than
   is intended.

   Sure, you can add conditions that prevent some such issues, but it
   will get complicated.
   The regular expressions the sed can handle are somewhat limited,
   when you compare them to what Perl can do.
   (Sorry, I won't give a Perl command - this is still too risky.)



mysql rename table mthosp_1 to another_name_1, mthosp_2 to 
another_name_2

(Check the manual for syntax)



2) If you want multiple changes in a line, add the g modifier at the
   command end:
  sed -e 's/mthosp/another_name/g'  source.sql  dest.sql

3) Most likely, you should first run a grep on the file, to check where
   the string occurs and which effects your commands have.

4) *If* you decide to use sed, then a cheap way to see just the changes
   is this:
  sed -n -e 's/mthosp/another_name/gp'  source.sql  verify.sql

   This will output *only* the changed lines, not the unchanged ones.
   However, it will not show the context - if you want to get that as
   well, then you will need a more complicated sed command or (easier,
   IMHO) a pipe of grep (providing the context, see the -A and -B
   options) and sed (above).

days to run but the result was

1-100537311

IOW it confirms the max id that Mysql gave, but also indicates that there
are no gaps in the row id's all the way through. This doesn't make sense to
me in light of Mysql reporting the count as posted previously i.e.


mysql select count(*) from fidcid;

If this table is InnoDB, then count(*) is

Something like distributing files with encrypted data in most columns
can be done, with the encryption key being a combination
of some hardware-related stuff such as MAC address that the user will
provide to you, and the key you generate and provide to the user.
Of course it creates a problem when the target computer crashes.
Everything else is probably either hackable or would be based
on the assumption that you'll be in the business forever
but anyway there must be specialists out there in some security related
groups that know how to make it hard to hack.

On the surface of it if you provide this sort of protection you'll be 
able to distribute

it as open source since you are protecting data and not the code but
I'm sure bigger lycensing minds will easily prove me wrong and explain
that there is such a thing as a GPL for data and copyrighting data is bad,
which would mean that copyrighting anything is bad, or that copyrighting
data is OK but the essence of your application is data so if you charge
for it you can't distribute mysql with it under GPL etc.
Actually it would be interesting to hear the opinion of mysql legal 
department on this.

You cannot do this.



When I played with the two servers yesterday (we are not really happy

Never.



2) is there a better, more performant way, to install mysql in a cluster ?

Re: £ (Great Britain Pound) breaks MySQL insert and update - disastrous overwrit e

2006-10-19 Thread Gerald L. Clark

Paul Warner wrote:

Ok, here is an update.  I have now switched everything to UTF-8, database, 
application, jsp page.  I have added a tomcat filter that sets the request and 
response encoding to UTF-8  presumably before anything else sees the request 
(it seems to write to the log 10 times for each request).  I added the 
following code that processes all the fields before submitting to the database 
for update or insert.

Charset utfCharset = Charset.forName(UTF-8);
CharsetDecoder decoder = utfCharset.newDecoder();
CharsetEncoder encoder = utfCharset.newEncoder();
try {
  ByteBuffer bbuf = encoder.encode(CharBuffer.wrap(advertArr[i]));
  CharBuffer cbuf = decoder.decode(bbuf);
   advertArr[i] = cbuf.toString();
   //log.info( after conversion:  + advertArr[i]);
} catch ( CharacterCodingException cce ) {
   log.info(character coding exception:  + cce.getMessage());
}

I tested as I added each of these elements.  The problem persists.  Same 
errors.  Same massive, horrific overwrite of the table on every update.  AND 
the data displayed in the browser has a garbage character in front of the £ 
sign.  Why  All the books and internet pages I've looked at say this stuff 
should work.

By fiddling with the encoding settings I did achieve something.  Before 
switching everything to UTF-8, I explicitly set everything to ISO-8859-1 (since 
the £ sign is definitely included in ISO-8859-1), and for a while the update 
refused to do any rows at all, rather than overwriting them all.

Again, the update and insert statements work when pasted into the mysql command 
line utility.  A perl script brings up the data nicely, and does an update 
including a £ sign to just one row without a problem.

So, has anyone ever encountered this??  I'm going mad.


Turn on the querylog, and see what query mysql is actually getting.

Use insert ignore. You already have a primary key on rowid, so you

Yes! but that can also lead to some other problems... ;) Check this 
example:


myslq create table numbers (a decimal(10,2), b float);
myslq insert into numbers values (100, 100);
mysql select @a := (a/3), @b := (b/3), @a * 3, @b * 3 from numbers \G
*** 1. row ***
 @a := (a/3): 33.3
 @b := (b/3): 33.
@a + @a + @a: 99.90
@b + @b + @b: 100

The decimal did exactly what's supposed to do on this cases, it
truncated the rest, thus loosing the 1/3 part.

So for sums the decimal is better, but for divisions the float is
better, up to some point, of course. I mean, using DECIMAL will not give
you a fail proof arithmetic in any means.


It's one reason why most people write their loops with  x + 1 
rather than = x. That gets past the problem, but if you are adding 
together many values the final answer may be wrong.



I'd rather use a better algorithm instead of a work around in those 
cases... ;)

How do you expect to split a dollar 3 ways?
It is not the math you do that determins whether you use float or 
decimal, it is what you are modeling that is important.
Dollars are decimal, and dollar calculations must be rounded to the 
nearest cent, or mill.

able to retrieve the keys for which a row exist for given X values.


Example:

key  value
18
19
110
28
38
310
48
49
410
411

Given values 8, 9, 10 the query should thus return 1 and 4. The possible 
number of values is variable.


Can this be expressed somewhat more elegantly than multiple EXISTS 
subqueries?


SELECT DISTINCT key FROM keyval outer
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT * FROM keyval inner
WHERE outer.key   = inner.key
AND inner.val = 8)
AND EXISTS (SELECT * FROM keyval inner
WHERE outer.key   = inner.key
AND inner.val = 9)
...

Br,

Morten




I forgot the GROUP BY

How about:
SELECT DISTINCT `key`, COUNT(`key`) AS c
FROM `table` WHERE `value` in (8,9,10)
GROUP BY `key`
HAVING c=3;

Rob Munsch,

I am a member of the Nabble project. This is regarding a bad post by user
itguy321. 


Just want to explain a few things. Nabble is a free mailing list
archive/gateway that works like Gmane.  Users can browse, search, and post
via Nabble's web interface and the post will be forwarded to the mailing
list as an email. A user will need to register with Nabble first, then he
will need to subscribe to the mailing list to become a subscriber, only then
can he post to that mailing list.

You seem to be holding Nabble responsible for this bad post. Is it fair? Is
it fair to blacklist Gmail just because a bad user sent a spam? A mailing
list usually has a moderation mechanism to deal with bad posts. If you are a
mailing list owner, you can simply ban that user.

Nabble hates spam as much as you do. We are currently monitoring this user
and we will take necessary action just like a mailing list owner will do.
Feel free to send me a private email if you have more concerns.

I'm trying to upgrade from MySQL 4.1 to MySQL 5.0.

A query that works in MySQL 4.1 does not work in MySQL 5.0 and I'm at a loss
as to how to proceed.

SELECT tab_a.item1, tab_b.item2, tab_c.item3, tab_d.item4, tab_e.item5,

The above query now generates this error:  Unknown column 'tab_a.id in 'on
clause'.  Placing parentheses around the ON clause, LEFT JOIN db.tab_b ON
(tab_b.id = tab_a.id) does not work.

However, splitting the original query apart and grouping the Left Joins in
one query and the regular joins in another query does NOT generates any
errors:

SELECT tab_a.item1, tab_b.item2, tab_c.item3, tab_d.item4 FROM db.tab_a LEFT

db.tab_f WHERE tab_a.id = 'value' AND tab_a.id2 = tab_e.id2 AND tab_e.id3 =

Why doesn't the original query work in MySQL 5.0?  What do I need to do to
make it work?

It is a join precedence issue. Use INNER Join instead of a comma.

SELECT tab_a.item1, tab_b.item2, tab_c.item3, tab_d.item4, tab_e.item5, 
tab_f.item6

FROM db.tab_a
INNER JOIN db.tab_e ON tab_a.id2 = tab_e.id2
INNER JOIN db.tab_f ON tab_e.id3 = tab_f.id3
LEFT  JOIN db.tab_b ON tab_b.id  = tab_a.id
LEFT  JOIN db.tab_c ON tab_c.id = tab_a.id
LEFT  JOIN db.tab_d ON tab_d.id = tab_a.id
WHERE tab_a.id = 'value'
LIMIT 1;

Re: Trying to understand why Select running out of memory if table not used

Gabriel PREDA wrote:

The JOIN criteria was there: 'event.cid=data.cid'


It was not there in the upper example he gave where he stated the problem.

It was there in the later query he said he also tried.



His query was fine: Select event.cid, event.timestamp  from event, data
Where ( event.timestamp between '2006-05-01' AND '2006-05-15' ) and
event.cid=data.cid;

It may be rewritten into:
SELECT event.cid, event.timestamp
FROM event JOIN data ON event.cid=data.cid
WHERE event.timestamp BETWEEN '2006-05-01' AND '2006-05-15';

... Or ...

SELECT event.cid, event.timestamp
FROM event JOIN data USING(cid)
WHERE event.timestamp BETWEEN '2006-05-01' AND '2006-05-15;

Although that was not the issue...

Maybe you ran out of memory into one of:
max_allowed_packet
net_buffer_length
max_join_size

Try enlarging those values... on the server also...

But first try to run with '--compress' maybe this will fix...

forum_messages does not take part in any selection or any where clause.
You have 5 tables listed, with only 4 of them appearing in 2 disjointed, 
and improperly formed joins.

From the comma separated table list after a LEFT JOIN, I am not sure
whether you intend them to be LEFT JOINs or INNER JOINs.

Try:
SELECT fields

LEFT JOIN file2 ON something
INNER JOIN file3 ON something
INNER JOIN file4 ON something

Yes it does.

Double defaults to double(16,4) and you have more than 4 decimal places.
Try double(16,10).

there is in fact data in the file and that it is proper data types matching

How could a user space program like mysqld possibly cause a kernel panic?
Sounds like bad kernel or bad hardware.

I'm sure its work as expected, but I was hoping some could enlighten me as
to why these scores are the same. There are 35 entries in the database and
these are the only two titles that are similar. I also tried IN BOOLEAN MODE
as well.

Thanks, Mark

Perhaps because '(' and ')' are ignored, and 'MLM' is a three letter 
word, and not indexed.

Connect fails but only from this one file WHY

2005-10-31 Thread Gerald Taylor

i am developing a php app.  in the beginning of every file there is
a require_once(./setup.php);  that does the housekeeping, fetches the
connection credentials and connects to the database.  All that worked 
fine until this morning I made a new file.


Now I get a connection failure when I try to connect  but ONLY from this
one php file.  I can connect to the server fine manually, the server is 
not unduly loaded, all the other apps that use this db server are fine
and even the other files in THIS app using THIS particular db seem to be 
connecting fine.  Well actually I should say that one of the other files 
*did* get this error once but on a subsequent call it corrected itself. 
 I should also say that the bad file did connect fine the first time 
I ran it but I haven't been able to make it do it since.  Is it possible 
that the bad new file is doing something bad that boggles subsequent 
connections?   If so what?


It is using exactly the same include file that works in all the other 
files.I'm  stumped  Thank you...

How to get a count from this query

2005-10-13 Thread Gerald Taylor

 SELECT avg(abs(pmd.value) - (mypmd.value))) as diff, pm.mname, pmd.uid
 FROM pmdata pmd, mnames pm, pmdata mypmd
WHERE mypmd.uid= ?
AND pmd.pmid=pm.pmid AND mypmd.pmid=pm.pmid
AND pmd.uid != mypmd.uid GROUP BY pmd.pmid, pmd.uid ORDER BY pmd.uid

What I would like also to return in this query is a COUNT of the number 
of pmd.uid of each different value  so I know how many values I got from 
uid#1, uid#2 etc.


I tried putting COUNT(pmd.uid) as numdelta but it just gave me a 1 in 
every row.   The problem is I am not doing a straight GROUP BY pmd.uid

Does you program show column names in the numeric fields?

In a manner of speaking, Yes.  When you DO the query it shows all the 
data in spreadsheet fashion.  The columns all have headers and you can't 
edit it.  THen when you go to layout, all the field headers are used as 
placeholders and may be drug around and formatted in the layout.


I have also contacted Elkriver tech support about this, but I thought
it might be an issue I could solve with a mysql solution.

The problem is I want to bar encode one of the fields, and the bar
encoding I want to use is numeric only.  So it craps out the whole
column just because the first row has a non numeric field header.  and 
that is why I need it to go away.

Can't connect to mysql server from another windows box

2005-09-20 Thread Gerald Williams
MySQL 5.0.12, P2P Microsoft network

I cannot get the manual's instructions (24.1.9.6) to work for connecting from a 
mysql client on a windows machine to a mysql server running on another windows 
machine (xp and w2kpro repsectively)

The client machine can ping the server machine by name or IP address.
One each machine, a local client successfully connects to the local mysql 
server as localhost.
In mysql server on the w2k box, a client row in mysql.user has been created 
with:
   user=the exact value used in the ODBC Admin dialog
   password=the exact value used in the ODBC Admin dialog
   Host=name of the machine being used as a client 
'skip-networking' is not set on either machine.

But when ODBCAdmin (3.51) is used to create a DSN on the winxp machine for 
connecting to the mysql server on the w2k machine, clicking 'Test Data Source' 
yields this error:

   Host 'XPBOX' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server'.

(Oddly, the mysql server capitalizes the name of the winxp box. Why does it do 
that?)

Issuing the command
   telnet w2kbox 3306
on the xpbox also produced this same error message.

This ought to be simple. What's the secret?

Note that if you set the password by directly editing (UPDATE) the 
mysql.user table like this, you will have to run

   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Thank you. That solved the problem connecting from the mysql client.

It changed the problem connecting via the 'Test' button from the ODBC 
Administrator, to an 'authentication protocol' message. Apparently 
Connector/ODBC 3.51 uses the old protocol.

Re: Can't connect to mysql server from another windows box

2005-09-20 Thread Gerald Williams
it sounds like you need to look at, and potentially cleanup (or make
your mysql access entries match) what's in the inverse-map record for
the IPnumbers of your machines.

when you connect mysql takes the IPnumber on the inbound connection,
looks it up in DNS and then checks the result against the access
table(s). so, if you've put xpbox.domain.xxx in the access table but
the lookup on the inbound IPnumber only returns xpbox (which is
technically an invalid entry anyway) things will fail.

so, do lookups on the IPnumbers of the client machines and see what's
returned. that's what you want in the mysql access tables.

Flushing privileges permitted a connection from the mysql client. To get the 
ODBC
Admin 'Test Data Source' button to work, I had to create a user table entry 
with a
password hashed by Old_Password(). 

Is ipconfig /all what you mean by lookup on the IPnumbers? That gives the name 
of the client box without domain.xxx. In any event, the 'technically incorrect' 
name
did work, and adding the domain.xxx part of the name to the user record did not 
work.

best practices for finding duplicate chunks

2005-08-14 Thread Gerald Taylor
I just revived a database that was in a version 3.23 server and moved it 
to a 4.1   There are big fields of TEXT based data.  They have a way of 
compressing the amount of TEXT data by identifying common subchunks and 
putting them in a subchunk table and replacing them with a marker 
inside the main text that will pull in that subchunk whenever the parent 
chunk is requested.  This subchunking seems to have been done kind of
ad hoc, because I've noticed the database still has quite a bit of 
duplicated chunks from one record to another.  The client does not want 
to buy another drive to store data (even tho he really should for
other reasons anyway but who cares what I think) , so he wants it 
compressed, and oh well I look on it as an opportunity for some 
housecleaning.  Now that we have 4.1 what is the best practice for 
automated looking for common subchunks, factoring them out, and then 
replacing the original parent text with itself with the chunk cut out
and a marker inserted.  The hard part is finding them, ovbiously.  The 
rest is easy.

Re: best practices for finding duplicate chunks

2005-08-14 Thread Gerald Taylor

Thanks for your answer.  It would certainly work provided having
enough disk space to do that.  I thought something like
that but was hoping I can leverage fulltext  and just
record the fulltext result between a each record
and each other record. Then I can group all records that
highly correlate and maybe do a much smaller scale version of
the brute force indexing thing that you are proposing, i.e. only
do it on a group of records that we already know  have a high
correlation, ie a high probability of sharing a chunk in common
  Then when done I can throw away that data
and do another group.  What do you think?   Processing cycles I have
but easy disk space I don't.

Alexey Polyakov wrote:

There's no easy way to do it I think. But if spending a few hours
(days?) programming is ok with you I'd suggest something like this:
1) create a table (let's call it hashes) with three columns: hash,
doc_id, pos_id (doc_id is an identifier for records from table with
big text chunks)
2) retrieve a record from big table. Calculate hash value for
concatenated first 20 words from text. Insert this value into
hash/doc_id table, and 1 as value of pos_id. Calculate hash for
concatenated 20 words starting from 2-nd word of this text, and also
insert it into hash/doc_id table (2 as value of pos_id). Repeat until
you reach the end of this text.
3) Repeat 2) for all records of big table
4) Now you have all data needed for identifying those duplicate chunks.
select count(doc_id) as c from hashes group by hash where c1;
will return all hashes for 20-word chunks that are found in 2 or more documents
select doc_id from hashes where hash=some_value; 
will return documents that contain this chunk.

select h1.pos_id, h2.pos_id from hashes h1, hashes h2 where
h1.doc_id=doc1 and h2.doc_id=doc2 and h1.hash=h2.hash order by
h1.pos_id;
will return word positions for duplicate text in two documents.
For example last query returns:
156 587
157 588
...
193 624
It means that you can take words 156-213 from doc1, insert it into
subchunks table, and replace words 156-212 at doc1 and words 587-643
at doc2 with a marker.


Yeah it looks ugly, and will take a lot of space for temporary data.
But in the end you'll have all 20+ words duplicate chunks properly
identified.

didn't see it earlier.)  You've run into the precedence rules:

   my $sth = $dbh-prepare( $sql ) or die $dbh-errstr if $dbh-err;

is read as

   (my $sth = $dbh-prepare( $sql ) or die $dbh-errstr) if $dbh-err;

That is, it is equivalent to

   if ($dbh-err)
   {
 $sth = $dbh-prepare( $sql ) or die $dbh-errstr;
   }

Since the connect succeeded, $dbh-err is undef, so we never even call 
prepare!  Hence, $sth is undef when we get to execute, and you get the error

message.  I expect this is what Joe (John Doe) was trying to tell us
earlier.

The simplest solution would be to drop the if $dbh-err.  That is, change
to

   my $sth = $dbh-prepare( $sql ) or die $dbh-errstr;

John's suggestion (below) is better still, as it adds helpful detail to the 
error message when there is one (though I don't see the need to make it a 
separate line of code).

 Regardless of other problems you may be having, I think you're not
 doing what you want to do here.  How about instead:
 
 my $sth = $dbh-prepare($sql);
 $sth || die Error preparing sth from '$sql': , $dbh-errstr;

RE: insert data

2005-03-04 Thread Gerald Preston
David,

I read them and installed 4.1.10 and I am back to square one:

I used the following code:

#!/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use DBI;
#use DBD-mysql;

  my $group_name = beer;
  my $me = E;
  my $daily  = 03032005;
  my $item   = Bacardi;
  my $unit   = 2;
  my $qty= 3;
  my $amount = 6;
  my $tax= 0.41;
  my $total  = 6.41;

  my $dbh=DBI-connect( 'dbi:mysql:club', 'gjwpp88', 'x' ) or die
\n$DBI::errstr\n;

  my $sql = insert into wolfies( group_name, me, daily, item, unit, qty,
amount, tax, total )
  values( ?,  ?,  ?, ?,?,?,   ?,
?,   ? ) ;
  my $sth = $dbh-prepare( $sql ) or die $dbh-errstr if $dbh-err;

  $sth-execute( $group_name, $me, $daily, $item, $unit, $qty, $amount,
$tax, $total ) or warn Cannot execute FIRST Statement!!\n$DBI::errstr;

I get DBI connect'club','gjwpp88',.. failed; Client does not support
authentication protocol requested by server

I have done the following with no errors!

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON club.* TO 'gjwpp88'@'local_host';

SET PASSWORD FOR 'gjwpp88'@'local_host' = PASSWORD('x');

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('x')
WHERE Host = 'local_host' AND User = 'gjwpp88';

SET PASSWORD FOR 'gjwpp88'@'local_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('x');

SELECT 'local_host', 'gjwpp88', Password FROM mysql.user
WHERE LENGTH('x')  16;

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

I am still getting the same error I listed above.

Hi Gerald,

There are some good tutorials on the web for DBI access via perl to
mysql.

http://www.wbluhm.com/MySQLTut.html
http://perl.about.com/od/installandusemysql/l/aa090803b.htm
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/perl.html

and also

http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.47/DBI.pm

You should be able to find several examples of exactly what you are
trying to achieve in one of these. The first one has an almost identical
query to that you are trying to achieve. If you can't select from the
table, then you are unlikely to be able to insert. I would follow the
tutorials, even if they are selects, and make sure they work and then
all you have to do is to change the SELECT to an INSERT statement and
away you go.

These have a very thorough examination of the setting up of the dsn etc.

I would also suggest

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/privilege-system.html

This gives a good explanation of how the GRANT/REVOKE/privileges system
works with MySQL. It is slightly different than Oracle and would be well
worth a read.
