The easiest way to work around all the date formats of the world for data input on a web page is to simply split the input into three parts: year, month and day. Month and day can then be dropdown lists (built-in -partial- validation!) and depending on context, the year might be a dropdown list as well (good for expiration date for a CC, not so good for a birth date). Also, depending on context, you might be able to initialize the fields to the most likely or likely nearest value and save the user some scrolling. For added user-friendlyness, you can add validation using JavaScript for day within month (dependent on year, of course) to save an extra trip to the server - but you need server-side validation always since not everyone uses (or can use!)

Re: my.ini vs. my.cnf on Winodws?
Jeremy, I have version 3.23.41 installed on Win2K. The installation program may have been corrected since (I hope so!), but when I installed it it did the following: - It created my_cnf in C:\ even though I told the installation program I wanted to install on F: and the system drive is R: (*nothing* should be installed in C:\ in that situation!) - It created my-example.cnf in the program installation directory - but with incorrect paths in it (see below) - instructions in both these files mention only C:\mycnf - no reference to my.ini - It created my.ini in R:\ (the *root* of the system drive, not my %WinDir% directory); I didn't find this until later, because that's not where a configuration file should be: I didn't even look there. It did not have an [mysqld] section at all (I had to copy that from my_cnf/my-example.cnf), and though the default is to not use innodb, it --and my_cnf-- lacked the statement skip-innodb making it impossible to even get mysqld started. - I also found mysqld.trace in R:\ - it has no business being there either. (In fact, I also had to *tell* the installation program that it should install on F: even though that is indicated in the Registry as the program installation path. This is incorrect behavior for a Windows installation program: it should look in the Registry to present a default program installation location.) Apart from that, the files that are installed did not have content that corresponded with the actual installation. That is not necessary - such files can be simply *generated* from the installation using the actual installation paths as given by the user. For instance this instruction is not only wrong (unless you happened to install on D:\), but completely unnecessary: ~~~ # Uncomment the following row if you move the MySQL distribution to another # location #basedir = d:/mysql/ ~~~ The file could simply have been generated with the *actual* location for basedir. The MySqlManager.exe program (correctly) expects a file my.ini in the %WinDir% directory; I had to create that before I could use the program. Final note: The whole situation illustrates Unix-centric thinking. The problem is that the results badly confuse both beginning and experienced Windows users - especially if they have no experience with Unix. If a Windows program uses a configuration file at all (instead of the Registry) they expect to find [programname].ini in their %WinDir% directory because that's where they belong and what they should be called - not in the root of any drive. The names my.cnf and my.ini are badly chosen. my normally indicates of mine (My Documents, My Pictures...); if you see a file called my.ini you think my what?. Configuration files should be named after the program the configuration is for. So we should actually have mysql.ini (and only mysql.ini). An installation program should also make sure the application can at least be immediately started in a default configuration.

The manual also seems to say that you can only use one. So if you create both, which will it prefer? Here's the part I'm reading: There are two configuration files with the same function: `my.cnf' and `my.ini' file, however please note that only of one these should can used. Both files are plain text. The `my.cnf' file should be created in the root directory of drive C and the `my.ini' file on the WinDir directory e.g: `C:\WINDOWS' or `C:\WINNT'. If your PC uses a boot loader where the C drive isn't the boot drive, then your only option is to use the `my.ini' file. Also note that if you use the WinMySQLAdmin tool, only the `my.ini' file is used. The `\mysql\bin' directory contains a help file with instructions for using this tool.

Re: 4208 Golden Investment Opportunity 185261
Carl, You'll be missed but I can't blame you. I'm tired enough of getting this kind of pam in my personal mailboxes, I don't need an additional load from this list. Worst is that I've changed to using a SneakEmail address to combat spam from spambots harvesting addresses from mail lists - but now I cannot even report these spams because SneakEmail creates its own headers. The list is too valuable for me to leave - but it really SHOULD be subscription only. This spamming is getting out of hand!

That ends up being more expensive than receiving all posts in your mailbox in one burst, especially when you have to pay per minute for the phone connection (as most people in the world have to do). Cost of using a newsgroup is somewhere in-between as some readers are able to download everything and then let you read and prepare responses off-line.

You could post a link to that page, if you wish, or have HTML validator to validate it for you (available at w3c.org) In HTML 4.01, closing tags for td and tr are optional; the W3C validator won't give you an error if you leave them out - in fact many of the table examples in the standard itself leave out the optional closing tags. On the other hand, it *is* true that Netscape 4.x has problems when these optional closing tags are not present (that's a bug). And since as of XHTML 1.0 all tags must be closed anyway, it would be a good strategy to get used to closing all tags with optional closing tags all the time.

Re: SELECT * FROM allofthetables
Deryck, Since you already got a reply that it can't be done, here's a suggestion how it *could* be done (jus a general approach - since you mention usnig ASP): - use an SQL command to gather all the table names in the database - store the names in a list or array (ASP) - use ASP to loop over the list - for each %tablename% do teh SQL command (fill in the table name): SELECT * FROM %tablename% WHERE User = 'username' I don't use ASP myself, but the same general approach could be used with ASP, PHP, CFML, or any other server-side language.

Re:Can't get MySQL running on Win2K
Heikki, Thanks for the reply. Since I don't even know what InnoDB' is, obviously I don't want it ;-) I tried adding the line 'skip-innodb' to the [mysqld] section in C:\my.cnf as you suggested but it didn't make any difference. I wonder whether that file is actually read, since I next tried *moving* the whole [mysqld] section to R:\Win2000\my.ini - this time the error does not appear when I try mysqld --standalone. However, it still hangs: in the command-line window it never returns to the command prompt. (Though I can close the command-line window and mysqld remains loaded - it actually *should* return to the prompt. Buglet?) Should my.cnf actually be on R:\ on my system since that is the root of the _system_ drive when I run Win2K (while C: definitely isn't)?

Re:Can't get MySQL running on Win2K
Heikki, Thanks a lot for your help! This mail list is a great resource (but I knew that already ;-)) Now that I have moved the whole [mysqld] section from C:\my.cnf to R:\Win2000\my.ini and rebooted, everything has started to work - the service now starts automatically. (If something else will appear not to work, I know where to look now.) I've since tried MySQL-Front as a GUI client and that works perfectly as well. (Background: I only tried installing MySQL locally as a workaround because I could not get MyODBC working to connect from Access2000 to MySQL on my (web) server - and I did try _everything_ I found in the manual and on this list (latest versions, patches, etc.)! Now with MySQL running locally and MySQL-Front I will be able to do it the other way round: import from Access to local MySQL (using the ODBC sriver for Access rather than MyODBC, of course), and then export to MySQL on the server, both using MYSQL. That way I can design a database and enter basic (static) data with Access, and when done, export to the server. I haven't tested all the steps yet but I did successfully import a table from Access2000 and I can successfully connect to the server on my web host.) Thanks again - problem solved within one day!

Re: LOAD DATA INFILE - split one field into two??
That would be a tough one - you'd first have to make sure every single record has no more than two words in that field. there's no guarantee that a field name would actually always contain only two names, or even two names at all. When I get stuffy, I spell my name as A. Marjolein Katsma - what's my first name and what my last? What if people have first and middle name? What about last names consisting of two or more words (Jan van der Aalst; how would you parse that)? There are countries where people actually can have only a single name (Indonesia); there are countries where a name always consists of three names (China), etc. The variations are endless. What you intend to do can be done only halfway reliably by going back to original documents or asking the people referred to!
