RE: I need the opposite of BINARY
You can change your query to something like: somequery ...

Re: Creating Triggers and procedures in MySQL
Information from the manual: 1.7.4.4 Stored Procedures and Triggers Stored procedures are being implemented in our version 5.0 development tree. See section 2.3.4 Installing from the Development Source Tree . This effort is based on SQL-99, which has a basic syntax similar (but not identical) to Oracle PL/SQL. In addition to this, we are implementing the SQL-99 framework to hook in external languages. A stored procedure is a set of SQL commands that can be compiled and stored in the server. Once this has been done, clients don't need to keep re-issuing the entire query but can refer to the stored procedure. This provides better overall performance because the query has to be parsed only once, and less information needs to be sent between the server and the client. You can also raise the conceptual level by having libraries of functions in the server. However, stored procedures of course do increase the load on the database server system, as more of the work is done on the server side and less on the client (application) side. Triggers will also be implemented. A trigger is effectively a type of stored procedure, one that is invoked when a particular event occurs. For example, you can install a stored procedure that is triggered each time a record is deleted from a transactional table and that stored procedure automatically deletes the corresponding customer from a customer table when all his transactions are deleted. = Last time this was brought up, there was a long discussion between the I love stored-procedures and the I hate store-procedure groups of people. Hopefully, we won't get that again. If you are interested in the lengthy discussion, you may want to search the list archives.

Re: case sensitive?
From the MySQL manual A.5.1 Case-Sensitivity in Searches By default, MySQL searches are case-insensitive (although there are some character sets that are never case-insensitive, such as czech ). That means that if you search with col_name LIKE 'a%' , you will get all column values that start with Aor a. If you want to make this search case-sensitive, use something like INSTR(col_name, A)=1 to check a prefix. Or use STRCMP(col_name, A) = 0 if the column value must be exactly A . Simple comparison operations ( =, , = , , = , sorting and grouping) are based on each character's ``sort value''. Characters with the same sort value (like E, e and é) are treated as the same character! In older MySQL versions LIKE comparisons were done on the uppercase value of each character (E == e but E é). In newer MySQL versions LIKE works just like the other comparison operators. If you want a column always to be treated in case-sensitive fashion, declare it as BINARY . See section 6.5.3 CREATE TABLE Syntax . If you are using Chinese data in the so-called big5 encoding, you want to make all character columns BINARY . This works because the sorting order of big5 encoding characters is based on the order of ASCII codes. On Tue, 23 Sep 2003 10:37:24 -0700, Hsiu-Hui Tseng spoke thusly about case sensitive?: Hi, I have questions on string comparison: Table: user_att +-+--+--+-+-+---+ Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-+--+--+-+-+---+ user_id | int(11) | | PRI | 0 | | att_id | int(11) | | PRI | 0 | | value | varchar(200) | | | | | date| datetime | YES | | NULL| | +-+--+--+-+-+---+ - one unique index on user_id and att_id (pk) - one index on att_id and user_id.

Re: NewbieALERT - Question/problem
You are looking for the ALTER TABLE statement. Here's a link to the
manual page about it:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ALTER_TABLE.html
Your command should be something like:
ALTER TABLE Custumer_data
ADD field14 tinyint DEFAULT 1,
ADD field15 tinyint DEFAULT 1,
ADD field16 enum('no', 'yes') DEFAULT 'no',
ADD field17 tinyint DEFAULT 1,
ADD field18 enum('no', 'yes') DEFAULT 'no';
Of course you will need to make the column types whatever you really
want them to be, along with the column names.
If you include the DEFAULT clause when creating a new column, MySQL
will automatically update the existing rows to contain the default
value.

to all the old records as the table is already populated and I *dont* want
to lose the data that is already in the table
Can you tell me how to do that (sql statement) or kindly point me to some

As mentioned in another post desc is a reserved work and needs to be

Also, your select still won't return any rows because you are searching

Re: Two Table Query
The solution depends on which version of MySQL you are using. If you
are using 4.1, you the easiest solution is to use a sub-select.
Something like this may work:
SELECT m.member_number, m.name, s.status, s.date
FROM members AS m, status AS s ON
WHERE m.member_number = s.member_number
AND m.member_number NOT IN
(SELECT member_number FROM status WHERE status != 'Active' and date =
'2000-07-01')
AND s.date = '2000-07-01';
// This is not tested. I'm not running 4.1.
Otherwise you will need to use two queries like:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE inactive
SELECT member_number FROM status WHERE status != 'Active' and date =
'2000-07-01';
SELECT m.member_number, m.name, s.status, s.date
FROM members AS m
JOIN status AS s ON m.member_number = s.member_number
LEFT JOIN inactive AS i ON m.member_number = i.member_number
WHERE i.member_number IS NULL
AND s.date = '2000-07-01';
These statements produce:
mysql [test] select * from inactive;
+---++--+
| member_number | date | status |
+---++--+
| 1 | 2000-06-01 | Inactive |
+---++--+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
/// second select from above.
+---++++
| member_number | name | status | date |
+---++++
| 2 | Lee Ramsey | Active | 2000-02-01 |
+---++++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Of course you would need to change status and date to what ever you are
looking for.
Your create table statement for the Status table has member_number int
unsigned AUTO_INCREMENT, you probably don't want the auto_increment on
the column.
I'm sure that if there is a better way, someone will point it out.

Re: establishing a relationship
Ted, If in fact you only have a one-to-many relationship, you don't need the third table (what's also known as a join table in some circles). This type of table is only really needed if you are doing a many-to-many (people have 0 to infinity machines, and machines have 0 to infinity people). I fail to see how adding a layer of complexity would help when deleting or updating records. Unless, of course, you are doing transaction logging manually. Which might be necessary with some DBMS products, but I don't think you need to in MySQL because you have the binary and other logs available. But then, you would need more information in the third table than just the two primary keys. I wouldn't mind hearing from your friend about why this type of set up is beneficial. jeff On Fri, 06 Jun 2003 02:14:37 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a friend teaching me but I want more :-) (second opinions), please.

of updating our database. We have a Music chart it is a table with 3 columns Chart Number (ie, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10..) Artist (Artists Name) Title (Title of Song) Each week we login using mysql control center to make changes to the chart positions The problems is this is currently a very time consuming manual job changing the 'Chart Number' Column 1 2 3 4 5 etc. If for example we move song number 5 up to number 1, we then have to manually change the ' Chart Number' of all the ones below it, i.e. changing the old number 1 to a number 2, number 2 to a number 3, number 4 to a number 5 etc. Ideally we need to keep using mysqlcc because it is very simple to use, but it is very time consuming.

About manually entering the data? The short and sweet answer there be that someone ALWAYS has to enter ALL the data, that the database is for retreival of what has been put in, manually. though the db can do a lot fancy footwork ;-). Be careful of using always and all they will come back to bite you grin. My programming style is such that the user is rarely, if ever, shown the values that I'm using for primary and foreign keys. This comes from having to spend LOTS of time cleaning up some legacy systems that were broken by the end users editing the values. Also, unless I have reason to do otherwise, my Primary Key and my Foreign Keys are usually an auto_increment columns. Actually, I don't remember the last time that a Foreign Key wasn't based on an auto_increment column. When creating child records, I have the system insert the parents auto_incremented value into the proper column of the child record. Therefore, no human intervention is required to enter data into the tables. Now about foreign keys: I have updated MySQL to 4.0.12 and changed my tables to InnoDB, because someone said that is where this might be leading! i.e., I don't know. I do know, or think I do, that MySQL does NOT have/handle Foreign Keys. So what do I do? Thanks Ted --- Listserv only address.

Re: Multiple lookups for one item in one description table
James, What you are describing is a many-to-many relationship and is very commonly done. You should be able to get your desired output using your existing structure with something like: SELECT i.item_id AS Item Number, i.item_desc AS Item Description, o.option_desc AS Option Description FROM items AS i, options AS o, items_to_options AS ito WHERE i.item_id = ito.item_id AND ito.option_id = o.option_id ORDER BY i.item_id, o.option_desc; This produces the following: +-+--++ | Item Number | Item Description | Option Description | +-+--++ | 1 | car1 | engine | | 1 | car1 | seat | | 1 | car1 | steering wheel | | 1 | car1 | tires | | 2 | car2 | engine | | 2 | car2 | steering wheel | | 2 | car2 | tires | | 3 | car3 | seat | | 3 | car3 | steering wheel | | 3 | car3 | tires | +-+--++ 10 rows in set (0.00 sec) You may want to consider using InnoDB tables instead of MyISAM tables for Foreign Key support.

Right now, our major concern is how to effectively do multiple value lookups in one value table without sacrificing our searching capability. Basically, we are trying to link an Item from one table to multiple Options in another table without replicating too much data. Item 1 (lets say car1) has options 1, 2, 3 4 (doors, wheels, engine, sunroof) for example. Our current system (see below for an example) has a table in the middle that acts a reference table of sorts, which works alright, but we are currently doing two or more queries at run time; One to select and compile the multiple options into a single text string, and one to select the rest of the items info. Then we combine both queries and fire them out to a web page. What we would like to see is a single MySQL select query that joins the data for us into another string using the 'AS' name construct (not necessarily with the current database structure, we are open to all options at this point). If that is not possible (or recommended) any suggestions on how to improve re-organize for efficiency is greatly appreciated. Example of existing system: Table item item_id - 1 item_desc - car1 Table item_TO_options - item_id option_id Data for Table item_TO_options item_id | option_id 11 1... 2 1... 3 14 Table options - option_id option_desc --- Listserv only address.

Re: Mysqld problem
It looks to me like you have a permissions problem with your directories. You need to make sure that the directory own for the mysql directory tree is your mysql user. You can't use the Users section of Systems Preferences to create the MySQL user, you have to use the NetInfo utility. Apple as instructions on how to install MySQL on OS X at: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html Hmmm, just checked Marc Liyanage's site and for pre-Jaguar he does mention to use System Preferences to create the MySQL user. He also only suggests to use 3.23.51 with pre-Jaguar as well. I'm not what the differences might be between the .51 and .55 for him to make this suggestion. I did try using his setup, but I gave up and went with the tarball files from MySQL instead. I didn't like all the nonstandard stuff that his system did. (At least I think it does some nonstandard stuff, it's been a while). I just checked your error code with: [~] [0] perror 13 Error code 13: Permission denied So it definitely looks like it's a permissions problem.

RE: Using LIKE to search for occurence of a column value in a string
The reason that what you are doing isn't working is because you are
trying to find a really long string in a short string. You need to
reverse your string searching.
Try:
SELECT URL, Name
FROM websites
WHERE LOCATE(URL,
'http://www.microsoft.com/kb/knowledgeb.asp?id=3strse=12') 0;
Here's some other functions that might be of interest:
LOCATE(substr,str)
POSITION(substr IN str)
Returns the position of the first occurrence of substring substr in
string str . Returns 0 if substr is not in str :
mysql SELECT LOCATE('bar', 'foobarbar');
- 4
mysql SELECT LOCATE('xbar', 'foobar');
- 0
This function is multi-byte safe. In MySQL 3.23 this function is
case sensitive, while in 4.0 it's only case-sensitive if either
argument is a binary string.
LOCATE(substr,str,pos)
Returns the position of the first occurrence of substring substr in
string str , starting at position pos . Returns 0if substr is not in
str :
mysql SELECT LOCATE('bar', 'foobarbar',5);
- 7
This function is multi-byte safe. In MySQL 3.23 this function is
case sensitive, while in 4.0 it's only case-sensitive if either
argument is a binary string.
INSTR(str,substr)
Returns the position of the first occurrence of substring substr in
string str . This is the same as the two-argument form of LOCATE() ,
except that the arguments are swapped:
mysql SELECT INSTR('foobarbar', 'bar');
- 4
mysql SELECT INSTR('xbar', 'foobar');
- 0
This function is multi-byte safe. In MySQL 3.23 this function is
case sensitive, while in 4.0 it's only case-sensitive if either
argument is a binary string.

Thanks, Mike The following message was sent by Jennifer Goodie [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Fri, 21 Mar 2003 14:36:43 -0800. On a linux box you do not have to stop everything like on Windows. We always leave our current version running, install the upgrade in a new location with a new data dir (a snapshot of the live one). We run the new install on a different port than the live install so we can test it and what not before switching over. We always leave our installs in a directory that gives the version info like mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686 and then symlink a directory named mysql to the version that should be live. So when we decide it is time to go live with the new install we change the conf to point to the correct data dir and to be on the right port, stop mysqld, change the symlink and then restart with the new version. This allows for easy rollbacks just in case. We have had really poor luck with building from source on our VA Linux box and have used the binaries for the last two or three upgrades. Our builds were really unstable and buggy under a high load, but the binaries have been great.

Re: appending to longtext field
At 1:50 + 3/20/03, Mr Orange wrote: GV wrote: I think is better to have an additional record each time a user inserts new information Mr Orange wrote: Hello all, I have a database with a type longtext called notes. Say I wanted to append some text to this field, what command would I use? I have tried the following sql.. update clients set notes=notes+text to append where id=1; But this doesn't seem to do the job. I am new to MySQL so sorry if I've asked an obvious question! Many thanks in advance, Steve. PS. What is needed is a database to store notes on each client which can be added to as necessary. If anyone has a better idea of a way to do this, I'd be very grateful for any help! Cheers. Hi GV, What do you mean by adding an additional record? At the moment, say I have a table set up as follows: id int(6) not null auto_increment, notes longtext, I have no idea at the beginning how many notes a user will enter on a particular client, so how would I create the table? Obviously I couldn't have, int int(6) not null auto_increment, note1 longtext, note2 longtext, etc. Is it possible to create a 'dynamic' table where the fields in there could grow to accomodate any inputted notes? If you could offer any help on this, by way of email, or links to webpages or whatever, I'd be really grateful, Cheers, Mr O. I think what GV is suggesting is that every time a user adds a note to your system, you use the INSERT INTO ... command to add a new record into the database. I would add a timestamp column so that you can sort the notes by their order of entry (of course there are several other ways to accomplish this as well). Actually, this is probably the best way to handle the set up. You mention that these notes are being entered for a particular client. I assume that you also have a client table as well as the notes table. This is an ideal situation for a parent/child table relational set up (or one-to-many relationship). When you need notes for a particular client, you SELECT on the client identifier in the notes table and you will have a listing of the all notes for the client. Here's basically the set up that I would use: Parent table: (the client information) -- client_id int(6) not null auto_increment, name, address, and all the other important client contact stuff Child table: (the note information) note_id int(6) not null auto_increment, client_id int(6), entry_date timestamp, notelongtext, index idx_client_id (client_id), === you may not need this index foreign key references client_table (client_id) Of course to use the foreign keys you will need to use InnoDB table type. With this type of set up, a client may have anything from 0 to your free hard disc space of notes. I'm sure that if I made some glaring error here, some one will point it out and correct me (which I woudl greatly appreciate :-). Back to your original question: You didn't mention what you are using to access MySQL. PHP? C++? Perl? If I *really*, *really* wanted to keep only one note record for each client (or to have the notes in the client table), I would create an update form and populate the form with the proper client information and use the my language's functions to concatenate the old and new information. After that use an UPDATE statement to replace the existing note with the new note. Depending on what type of system you are creating, doing this update method may bring in all kinds of headaches down the road. You may get people trying to change information that some one else put in the tables. The best way to go is the parent/child relationship. just my $0.02. jeff -- Jeff Shapiro, Colorado Springs, CO, USA At work I *have* to use a Windows machine, at home I *get* to use a Mac. - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: Help with Query
OK, attempt number two: Let's see what you are after is the number of emails that a member has received (say 25), and then you also want the number of members that have received x-number (say 25) emails. Is this even close to what you want? I think the only way to answer the question(s) is to use more than one query (specially since MySQL doesn't support sub-selects). Here's what I came up with: (it's probably not pretty and more than likely not completely correct, but I haven't been playing with MySQL than long). CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE member_counts SELECT member_id, COUNT(mailing_id) AS mail_count FROM member_mailings GROUP BY member_id; This puts the number of mailings into a temp table. Now we do: SELECT mail_count, COUNT(member_id) FROM member_counts GROUP BY mail_count; I *think* that these to step should give you what you are after. jeff At 22:47 -0800 3/17/03, Daren Cotter wrote: This seems to be doing the same thing as the previously mentioned query...simply listing all mailing IDs, along with the # of members it was sent to.

Re: Scripting MySQL Commands
I'm fairly new to MySQL as well (although, I do have experience with Oracle). Even though you create a new database doesn't mean that MySQL will automatically start using that database. After all you might want to create 10 or 15 databases all at once (why? I don't know), then start creating tables for the 5th one you created. So your script needs to do something like: create database 'Temp'; use 'Temp'; (You need the quotes [or maybe it's the backquotes] if you actually want a mixed case name.) I'm sure that if I'm off, someone here will correct me. jeff At 12:27 -0500 3/2/03, Stephen Tiano wrote: Paul, Oliver-- I really, really appreciate you guys taking time from your respective Sundays to try and enlighten me.

Re: Help to install Mysql on Macos X 10.2
My guess is that you don't have the developer's tools loaded on your
machine, or that there is something wrong with their configuration.
You may want to try using Aaron Faby's Complete MySQL. It uses the
Apple Installer to install MySQL 3.23.55. (That is double click on a
installer package and follow the instructions.)
Complete MySQL is available here:
http://www.aaronfaby.com/mysql.php
Complete MySQL should work for you unless you need some unusual
settings (which from your ./configure command it doesn't look like
you're using).
I hope this helps.
