options file /root/.my.cnf ignored ???

2004-02-13 Thread Michael D Schleif
I have inherited several mysql v4x servers.  All but one of them works
as expected with /root/.my.cnf files.

That last server is driving me nuts ;  I have RTFM, and I do not find
this particular problem anywhere.  Pointers to TFM are welcome.

   # mysql -h localhost -u root
   ERROR 1045: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES)

   # sudo cat /root/.my.cnf 
   [client]
   user = root
   password = 

This works OK:

   # mysql -h localhost -u root -p
   Enter password: 

Yes, I do know that password, and the one in /root/.my.cnf is the same,
and I have changed the password for root with the same results.

My own user, mds, works as expected via options file ~/.my.cnf .

What am I missing?

Re: transaction support

 Here is the explanation I just received when asking for the difference
 between transaction support:
 
 -
 MySQL uses single-action implicit and explicit transactions, but they do
 not
 automatically roll back on failure.
 
 SQL Server user single action implicit and batch explicit transactions as
 well as supporting transaction nesting (transactions inside of parent
 transactions) and on failure the entire batch and any parent / peer
 transactions are rolled back.

Scheduling app examples ???

2004-01-04 Thread Michael D Schleif
I am designing an web based application using MySQL and Perl.  Part of
the requirements include a somewhat complex scheduling module, which
must accommodate scheduling multiple human and physical resources across
multiple facilities.  For example, medical patients will be scheduled
for one or more pieces of equipment, in one or more rooms, at one or
more facilities, by one or more doctors -- per visit.

I would love to review how others have handled such tasks; but, I have
reviewed the MySQL archives and googled without success.

I am especially interested in the database design, since requirements
indicate a need to schedule forward more than one year.  I feel that a
robust database design will simplify the logic code to make this work
optimally.

What do you think?
