java. 'show tables like' is what I needed.

 You can do a couple of things..
 
 Are you using any other language besides SQL? ( perl, PHP? )
 
 If you're just looking for a way to do it with sql.. you can try -
 
 show tables like tablename;
 
 It'll either give an empty set, or return the tablename.

/sbin/service httpd restart
Then
tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
should show

 Try adding this to your http.conf file in apache.

ScriptAlias /php/ c:/php/
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
Action application/x-httpd-php /php/php.exe

Re: Remote connection to MySQL Server using MS Access 2002

There are other windows front ends to mysql, but this one is the best:

 Hi,
 
 Can someone tell me how to configure the MySQL ODBC (v3.51) Driver so I
 can connect to a remote MySQL database.
 
 I have tried putting an IP address in that I found by lookup of the
 domain name, and I entered the database name and password, but I get an
 error saying connection from ~db_name~@~whatever_ISP~ was refused, what
 am I doing wrong.
 
 I do not know the actual servr name that the MySQL database lives on, so
 what options do I have, this must be possible so how do I do it.
 
 Alternativly, if anyone knows of any alternative tools (not phpMyAdmin
 (ie: not browser based)) that will allow me to look at, and work with
 the data, even if only in a read only enviroment at this time, though
 full access is desired. I would mych appreciate it.
 
 Thnx

Re: JSP or PHP?

 I have built a MySQL database for a web based survey.  I am trying to decide
 between JSP and PHP for my programming interface.  The reason I am
 considering Java is because I have some Java experience.  What would you
 recommend for someone like me who is starting out?

If you know java and like java, then use java. Check out the velocity
template engine. http://jakarta.apache.org/velocity Cool stuff. I doubt
you'll find a host for it though. Best to build your own server. If you
are in a shared server environment, you'll probably have to use php or
perl. Full Java/Servlet/JSP support is still a few years away for most
hosting companies, though some do support it at additional cost. The
setup and security considerations using java are a lot more complex than
with perl or php.
Ken

 Also, my two current hosting companies don't support JSP.  Is this common?
 Is it more expensive for JSP support?

Yes. Yes.

Re: Java to MySQL connection

2002-03-20 Thread Ken Anderson

This is a servlet code example for jdbc using the mm driver.


String DB_NAME = database;
String DB_HOST = localhost;
String DB_USER = username;
String DB_PASS = password;   
String DB_DRIVER = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver;
String DB_CONNECTION = jdbc:mysql:// + DB_HOST + 
/ + DB_NAME + ?user= +
DB_USER + password= + DB_PASS;

try
   {
   Class.forName(DB_DRIVER);
   conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_CONNECTION);
   out.println(BRBRJDBC Connection succeeded.);
   }
   catch (Exception e) {
  out.println(e.getMessage());
   }

 Connection con =

 username ,  my pass );
 System.out.println(Connection Made.);
 
 As you can tell from this, my database is named Testing.  All I'm
 trying to do right now is get a connection.  Right now when I run this
 code I get Error: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver
 Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
 I'm not sure I have the odbc driver setup correctly either.  I
 downloaded mm.mysql-2.0.11 but I'm not really sure how to bring it
 into the mix as far as the driver goes.
 
 Thanks for any direction.

If you are on RedHat, you might need to do mysql grant all on books.*

Re: hosting

2002-03-07 Thread Ken Anderson

Got an old PII sitting around? 
Install RedHat 7.2 w/mysql, apache, php, etc...
You'll learn much more than just php and mysql, but no free service is
going to really give you the access you need to learn mysql and php very
well.
