Re: ODBC 3.51.22 problem - please help
On Wed, Dec 12, 2007 at 05:11:43PM -0800, Ed Reed wrote: I've found a glaring problem with the latest ODBC connector. Data types have been changed and data is no longer being read correctly. That's not quite correct -- data types are now actually being read correctly. They were wrong before, even if it was what you expected. I'm running MySQL 5.1.16 on Netware. My apps are VB6 and VBA using ADO. The following query produces different data types depending on the version of the ODBC driver. SELECT ConCat(21000,'-','a') In 3.51.19 it is a VarChar and in 3.51.22 it's a VarBinary. Concat is supposed to return a string. In C a byte array may be fine but in VB a string should be a VarChar. Is this a bug or is there a server or OBDC setting that can be changed to make sure that it always returns a VarChar CONCAT() derives its return types from its arguments. The key part from the CONCAT() documentation is: If all arguments are non-binary strings, the result is a non-binary string. If the arguments include any binary strings, the result is a binary string. A numeric argument is converted to its equivalent binary string form; if you want to avoid that, you can use an explicit type cast, as in this example: SELECT CONCAT(CAST(int_col AS CHAR), char_col); That earlier releases of the driver would return a non-binary string in your case was a bug. That a numeric argument is converted to a binary string is an unfortunate server feature. I hope it will get fixed in a future server release, but I'm not sure when that will be, and it will almost certainly not be in the 5.1 series.

There is no effort underway to replace InnoDB. Last I heard, Oracle intends to keep developing InnoDB, and MySQL intends to keep distributing it as part of the main distribution. The MySQL storage engine interface is designed to allow alternatives, and as we're seeing with the growing number of storage engines (from MySQL and others in the community), there are a lot of different ways to skin the data-storage cat. Each storage engine brings with it different strengths and weaknesses that make it more or less suitable for different workloads. Robin Schumacher has written a series of articles on Falcon that explain some of its strengths and weaknesses, and I assume there will be more as Falcon gets closer to a stable release.

For example if in my text fields I have the word residential I would

Is there any way to do this in Full Text Searches?
If you are doing the search in Boolean mode, you can add '*' to the end
of a word to match all words beginning with that prefix.
For example:
SELECT record FROM table
WHERE MATCH (record) AGAINST ('resident*' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
(Using 'IN BOOLEAN MODE' requires MySQL 4.0 or later.)

If you have table names or column names that use characters outside of the range from `A' to `Z', you may have to do a mysqldump of your tables in MySQL 4.0 and restore them after upgrading to MySQL 4.1. The symptom for this problem is that you get a table not found error when trying to access your tables. In this case, you should be able to downgrade back to MySQL 4.0 and access your data. In our MySQL 4.0 databases today, we have log tables with names like 'system_log_day_20041026'. Based upon the `A` to `Z` conditional in the above statement, are we in any way at risk of not being able to access our tables? No. (The actual risk is with table or database names that have characters outside of the standard US-ASCII range.)

It is, however, possible to simply store UTF-8 data in a string field (VARCHAR, CHAR, TEXT, etc) in those versions.

We discovered a rather odd situation where some space characters where

In tracking this down, it was determined that the server had stored the

'A0' is the code for a non-breaking space, assuming you're using the
iso-8859-1 (or related) character encoding.
update Location
set NameLn = replace(hex(NameLn), 'A0' , '20')
where hex(NameLn) like '%A0%'
Better would have been:
UPDATE Location
SET NameLn = REPLACE(NameLn, CHAR(0xA0), ' ')
WHERE NameLn LIKE CONCAT('%',CHAR(0xA0),'%')
Now for the NameLn field I have the hex string (arrg my data has
been hexed!!! :-)
So, my questions are:
1. How do I go back from the hex string to characters?
You can use the UNHEX() function.
2. Has anyone else seen this problem? At this point I can say the
diplay issue only appears on some browsers.
The likely culprit for this sort of thing, in my experience, is users
using cut-and-paste from an application like Microsoft Word into their
browser. That often introduces similar issues with characters like
curly-quotes and em-dashes.

However, SpamCop is aggressive and often errs on the side of blocking mail - users should be warned and given information about how their mail is filtered. Ideally they should have a choice of filtering options. Many mailservers can operate with blacklists in a tag only mode, which is preferable in many situations.

Yes, you need to be doing a boolean full-text search to use the

SELECT ID FROM emails

I am quite willing to acknowledge that I'm new at this ...
But I can't find the syntax error in this query:
SELECT * FROM products WHERE MATCH (desc) AGAINST ('usb')
desc is a field name, usb is the keyword I'm searching for.
'desc' is a reserved word. you need to surround it in backquotes when
using it as a field or table name.
SELECT * FROM products WHERE MATCH (`desc`) AGAINST ('usb')
There's more information about reserved words at:

Re: Replication over SSL
On Sun, Jun 08, 2003 at 01:08:58PM +0100, Gareth Davis wrote: I guess that explains alot. Is there any work around with say, stunnel/ssh etc? Yes, you could certainly use something like stunnel or an ssh tunnel to forward a port between two machines and do replication over that. Here's a couple of articles that may help: http://www.guydavis.ca/projects/oss/docs/ssh_mysql.jsp http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html One thing to keep in mind is that when you want to connect to a MySQL server via a non-standard port on your local machine, you need to specify the host to connect to as '127.0.0.1', and not 'localhost'. When using 'localhost', MySQL generally tries to connect using a local Unix socket, and ignores the port you specify.

Re: MySQL: standard SQL compliancy: primary keys: default: should be NOT NULL
Hi Neil. On Wed, Jun 04, 2003 at 02:33:22AM -0230, Neil Zanella wrote: I believe that MySQL is in error in reporting the following message just because I did not specify that the PRIMARY KEY should not be NULL. These days there are standards and SQL92, AFAIK, specifies that if the primary key is not explicitly set to NOT NULL then the RDBMS should automatically and silently assume the user means NOT NULL. After all, any half decent book on relational databases out there will tell you that primary keys cannot be null. So why does MySQL do it this way. By doing this MySQL is breaking the portability of my standard SQL code which works so well with postgreSQL and Oracle 9i. So why donesn't MySQL play nice and abide to the standard? Is this fixed in MySQL 4? I am running MySQL 3.23.54a as distributed with Red Hat 9, which, for some reason has not decided to update their mysql RPMS to MySQL 4 for that release but I am interesting in knowing if this has been fixed in MySQL. I think one of MySQL's goals should be to support standards such as SQL92 (if not SQL99). Even if internally some things don't work as expected, at a minimum, the parsers should be compatible as much as possible, including standard data types and assuming primary keys are not null by default. This bug was fixed in MySQL 4.0.13, after it was reported to our bug tracking system here: http://bugs.mysql.com/390 As Peter Gulutzan notes in a comment to that bug, the previous behavior was consistent with the SQL-92 standard, but that has been relaxed in SQL-99, and we are currently working towards SQL-99 compliance.

Hi Gareth. On Tue, Jun 03, 2003 at 09:59:52AM +0100, Gareth Davis wrote: I guess this is right place for this. I'm trying to setup replication between two hosts over the Internet. My problem is that i can't seem to solve an authentication problem between the slave and the master. Before I tried this I setup a test between two computers here in the office and managed to get it to work. Replication over SSL connections is not currently supported. The current plan is that it will be supported in 4.1.

Re: SELECT query with OUTER JOIN - problem
On Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 12:48:38PM +0200, Dejan Milenkovic wrote: I have two tables, one is containing data about courses and the second one is containing data about course start date. Is it possible to list all courses with one query which should also return earliest scheduled start dates for courses (which are in the second table). I tried something like this: SELECT c_d.*, MIN(c_s.start) as start FROM course_data c_d RIGHT OUTER JOIN course_start c_s ON c_s.courseid=c_d.courseid WHERE c_s.startNOW() GROUP BY c_s.courseid But this return only courses that have start date if I replace ON condition with 1=1 I get list of all courses but with the same date, if I remove ON condition MySQL return error, I also tried replacing ON c_s.courseid=c_d.courseid with USING (courseid) but that didn't help. Any help is appriciated. Here are the table definitions and test data. CREATE TABLE course_data ( courseid mediumint(9) NOT NULL auto_increment, data varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (courseid) ) TYPE=MyISAM; INSERT INTO course_data VALUES (1, 'Test data'); INSERT INTO course_data VALUES (2, 'Also test data'); CREATE TABLE course_start ( courseid mediumint(9) NOT NULL, start date NOT NULL default '-00-00' ) TYPE=MyISAM; INSERT INTO course_start VALUES (1, '2004-12-12'); So I need quey that would return both courses where the start column for course 1 would be '2004-12-1 and NULL for course 2. You don't want a RIGHT OUTER JOIN -- you want a LEFT [OUTER] JOIN, because you are trying to get a result for each row from the left-most table. But you also need to explicitly select those results where the start is NULL. So your query would be: SELECT c_d.*, MIN(c_s.start) AS start FROM course_data c_d LEFT JOIN course_start c_s USING (courseid) WHERE c_s.start NOW() OR c_s.start IS NULL GROUP BY c_s.courseid; This returns: +--+++ | courseid | data | start | +--+++ |2 | Also test data | NULL | |1 | Test data | 2004-12-12 | +--+++ Here's an article from SQL-Guru.com that explains the basic join types: http://www.sql-guru.com/sql101/basicjoins.html I hope that helps.

I've found that the data I uploaded from text files has some end-of-line characters in it, and its causing my data to break in mid-line when spitting out a text file. Would be cool to search the table for offending characters if possible. Yes, you specify hexadecimal strings that you can then use with the various string functions, including the string comparison functions: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Hexadecimal_values.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/String_functions.html http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/String_comparison_functions.html You could replace all CRLF sequences with spaces in a particular field with a query like: UPDATE mytable SET mytext=REPLACE(mytext, 0x0D0A, ' '); Hope that helps.
