Setting up version 5
Is there a paper I can d/l that covers intalling MYSQL on Red Hat Linux? Karl Larsen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
How a VIEW is stored
I was working with my version 5 and made a couple of views which are very useful. Looking in the db I was able to see the VIEW's saved as TABLE :-) This was a surprise and not sure if this is the expected result or not. Then I did some SELECT that involved the VIEW and it does work a lot like another TABLE, but it can and mine does take data from many TABLE's into a VIEW. You can write a SELECT or even another VIEW using a VIEW. But if you keep track of the time used by a query, it starts to get too long if you use a SELECT of a VIEW that has within it another VIEW.

First View
I wrote my first VIEW in version 5 and it works just fine. It will be a powerful way to generate output for the Bosses. Why it was taken out on version 4 I have no idea.

Can't get mysqld to run
I have mysql 5 on Fedora Core 4 linux via RPM files. It does not run. I used the instructions from the info file and was able to populate the dirctory /var/lib/mysqld/ with the mysql db and some other files using mysql-install-db. But when I try to start mysqld with mysqld_safe it errors out saying it can't use the /var/run/mysald/mysqld.pid file. This is because there is no mysqld.pid in that directory. The directory has root permissions. What have I done wrong?

Back up and punt
I am going to do the simple things. I will delete mysql from the computer both with rpm and rm as needed. After I can find NOTHING about mysql anywhere, I will reboot, and then load the rpm's. Then I will assume the rpm's did all the work and try the stuff needed to get passwords for root and k5di.com. Let you all know how this works out.

Punt Worked
I have burned another 2 hours but got mysqld to run and have version 5 up and running! I'm now ready to get back to views. To get things running I had to manually make a directory /var/run/mysqld/ and then change the owner to mysql. I ran mysqld_safe and it made a mysqld.pif and is now running. None of the above is in the referance manual. It's no wonder very few ever use mysql...

Help Thanks!
I got a lot of good help from people on this list. Some of them got pissed at me because I was slow to use their suggestions. My reason was I could not believe someone would release a rpm(s) that required the user to make a directory not mentioned in the referance manual and change it's owner to mysql. None of this was obvious to me, a new user of mysql. I plan to file a bug report on this. It is a serious error in getting mysql working on Linux. I hope the files for the Windows users are better written :-) Now I need to solve some serious permission problems. I hope the Reference Manual in Info form will allow me to correct these. For some reason unknown $ mysqladmin -U make new password for root doesn't work. and I can't get other things to work until I get this fixed. But the work is for tomorrow. I'm 71 years old and yes I am slowing down. Karl Larsen -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Getting 5 to run
I am trying to get mysql 5 to run on my Fedora Core 4 linux. I installed both server and client RPM files. The info is good and using that I am trying to do the post-install. I ran mysql_install_db as a user and it failed. Then I tried as root and it seemed to work. But one thing it says to do I cannot find. It says: To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system I have no idea where support-files are or where the right place is. When I try to start mysqld_safe it errors out with this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# mysqld_safe [1] 6501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid 060820 14:27:48 mysqld ended So I can set up the DB but not start mysqld.

Query
I am using Linux called Fedora Core 4. I had no problem getting mysql 4 working here and liked it a lot. But when I discovered 4 doesn't have VIEW but 5 does I have tried several RPM sets of 5 that fail for basic reasons. The reasons are the wrong libraries or they are missing in total :-) Found a 5 that looked like a tar ball but no joy. It is a set of binary files and a bash file to load it all. This I have not read up on but fear the binary files will not run on my linux version. I know I can yum mysql 5 on Fedora Core 5 but for other reasons I prefer to stay with Fedora Core 4. Has anyone got mysql version 5 to work on my version of Linux?

yum version 5.*
I am using Red Hat Fedora Core 4 and I wanted to yum mysql version 5 of any other and find with Core 4 I can yum only mysql version 4. I imagine Core 5 might be able to yum mysql version 5 but not certain of that. Is there a way I can yum the later version? I studied the man for yum but could not see a way to do that.

Money
In an older mysql version there was a numerical thing called money and it was supposed to round all things to just 2 numbers after the decimal and maybe make sure the 2 numbers exist even if it's a zero. But this function is not part of mysql version 4.1. I tried INTEGER and CHAR and REAL(x,2) and that was close. Then I looked at 'info mysql' and went to numerals and down to the section talking about what to use. There it said if your table has money things like salary you use DECIMAL(x,2). I have that now in my DB and as I Query money now it looks like money. I have not yet found how I can put a $ in front of all the money columns :-) But to date I have become real pleased with mysql and all the SQL I learned from using Oracle works fine.

Bookbiz DB
I have been just reading the book and doing the examples and learning how good MySQL is. I was early asking about Query and now I'm doing it like the SQL says to do it. A recient one is like this: mysql SELECT au_lname, phone - FROM authors - WHERE phone LIKE '415%'; ++--+ | au_lname | phone| ++--+ | Bennet | 415 658-9932 | | Green | 415 986-7020 | | Carson | 415 548-7723 | | Stringer | 415 843-2991 | | Straight | 415 834-2919 | | Karsen | 415 534-9219 | | MacFeather | 415 354-7128 | | Dull | 415 836-7128 | | Yokomoto | 415 935-4228 | | Hunter | 415 836-7128 | | Locksley | 415 585-4620 | ++--+ 11 rows in set (0.07 sec) The book does not use capital letters for SQL key words. I learned it is a good idea to do this so when you read this it is obvious what is going to happen. When you have multiple SELECT and get an output from several tables you see the power of SQL.

How to get bookbiz.sql
If you happen to have The Practical SQL Handbook of 1996 it comes with a DB called bookbiz.sql which was current for MySQL of 1996. A lot has changed so the file had to be re-written to work on MySQL version 4.1.x. I did this and you can have my file by going to my web page and d/l it. To do this go to www.zianet.com/k5di/ and part way down the page where you see MySQL just click on bookbiz and it will d/l to your computer. If you don't have the book look in used book stores.

Karl You can't just randomly take a bunch of abrupt power failures without a UPS system and expect things to be AOK. Even if MySQL recovers, what about your disks? Depending on how your filesystem does caching, your data loss could be the filesystem itself not commiting the data (take for example xfs, which does lots of caching and writes the data as minimal as possible).

I'm trying to use mysql on Linux type Fedora Core 4 and it works part way but I have no guess how to fix this problem. Here is what happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ mysql Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 4.1.20-log Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql use mysql; ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql' mysql I let you see the way I get mysql up and then I ask to use a DB and every time I get ERROR 1044 and so of course I can't use mysql. Does anyone know what error I have made? I loaded mysql from the Linux version I'm using and had the problem. I then deleted all and yum got the latest version which is up now.
