backup question: INSERT statements
Hello, I need to backup a mysql database in such a way that the output is simply a bunch of insert statements. I do not want the database schema as output as well: just the insert statements. This is because I already have a script with CREATE statements and would like to rebuild the database from scratch: since I need to modify the schema and table structure I prefer this approach than using ALTER TABLE, given that the database data size is small and rebuilding from scratch could add some efficiency. So how do I get this with myqldump. I just want the insert statements and the data. Thanks!!!

UTF8 columns and MySQL
Hello, I have a table with the following column among others: text VARCHAR(120) CHARACTER SET utf8 The provider I am using however only offers MySQL version 3.23.58, so I cannot use this statement. At first I thought I was not going to be able to store UTF8. So I changed the column to the following: text VARCHAR(120) However, when I submit data from a web interface, much to my surprise, I was able to store some Chinese characters, which no doubt take up two bytes in UTF8. Great!!! Can anyone explain why this is and what exactly is going on under the hood? Just curious, Thanks, Neil -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
making all tables MyISAM
Hello, Is there a way to specify MyISAM for all tables in a given file rather than having to specify it at the end of each table declaration. I think this would make porting databases back and forth to MySQL somewhat easier since including MyISAM as part of the table declaration is not compatible with standard SQL syntax, so I would like to keep MySQL-specific stuff separate from the rest of the SQL DDL file.

MySQL: standard SQL compliancy: primary keys: default: should be NOT NULL
Hello, 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. ERROR 1171: All parts of a PRIMARY KEY must be NOT NULL; If you need NULL in a key, use UNIQUE instead BTW, for those willing to check it out, Part 1 (as well as other parts) of the SQL standard are available from http://webstore.ansi.org/ for 18 bucks as standard INCITS/ISO/IEC 9075-1-1999. The older standard is also available as ANSI INCITS 135-1992 (R1998) at the same price.

foreign key and check ICs: implementation suggestion
Hello, The documentation often mentions that foreign key support in mysql is not implemented because it slows down the database server. The argument is that since the applications built on top of mysql have to check for database integrity constraints (ICs) it is redundant for the database to perform these checks as well. However it would be very convenient to have a setting in /etc/my.cnf for enabling/disabling the checking of foreign keys with the default being off in the interest of speed. The reason a user would want this is that if there is a lot of data in an existing database then the application developer does not want the application to mess up the data due while the application is not yet stable. Thus, in such a scenario, foreign keys are helpful. Thus in addition to a setting in /etc/my.cnf it would be helpful to have commands such as ENABLE FOREIGN KEYS and DISABLE FOREIGN KEYS allowing more flexibility on multiuser systems. The same mechanism could be use to enable/disable CHECK constraints including CHECK constraints involvins SELECT statements. These could always be enforced/not enforced with commands such as ENABLE CHECK IC and DISABLE CHECK IC or something similar, with the default set to DISABLED in the intrest of speed, but with the syntax in the table data definition language (DDL) still being parsed and accepted in both cases, as for foreign keys.

Re: trouble with field NULL
I will guess that the NULL field you defined is of a numeric type such as INT. In standard SQL the empty string '' is not the same as the special value NULL, and this is also true in MySQL, but not in Oracle. Probably you are inserting a '' into the database column but MySQL correctly interprets it as a string. The default conversion for string to integers in MySQL is to turn the string into a 0. This is probably what is happening. I would suggest writing your own string function in your application which converts instances of '' into instances of NULL. And by the way, quoting numeric data in MySQL as well as in PostgreSQL and Oracle is acceptable but not required.

Dates in MySQL are in CCYY-MM-DD format, not MM-DD-CCYY. How are you inserting that date value into the statement. Are you using JDBC? If so then be careful to use java.sql.Date instead of java.util.Date. The effect of doing this is that java.sql.Date extends java.util.Date and overrides the toString() method used to extract the date so that the output is in standard SQL -MM-DD format. This format is also known as ISO 8601. This is what everyone ought to be using but alas some vendors such as Oracle use an DD-MMM- format as the default.

RE: [PHP] random order
Only table field names are allowed after the ORDER BY clause in standard SQL. The answer to your question is that SQL is not designed to do that kind of thing. Rather, I would suggest computing a random permutation of the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the PHP application prior to constructing your SQL statement and passing it to MySQL. Furthermore, if your application does not support the generation of random numbers (although I am pretty sure it does), you could always retrieve random numbers from the MySQL built in function RAND() by issuing SELECT RAND() statements (although this approach is more inefficient as it consumes bandwidth).

Re: Newbie Question
Hint: The user and host combinations for allowed MySQL connections are stored in a table called mysql. You can access this table by issuing: $ mysql -u root mysql use mysql; mysql SELECT user, host, password FROM user; If you have set up a root password then issue: $ mysql -u root -ppassword where password is the required password, or better issue: $ mysql -u root -p and enter the password. That way other users cannot sniff it with a command like ps aux. One thing you might find useful is that the mysql user table can accept wildcard character such as %. So entering a '%' in the user and host fields allows connections from any user from host. This behavior is disabled by default for security reasons.

CHECK constraints
Hello, I searched the manual but it seems like MySQL does not support ANSI SQL CHECK constraints. These are often used to check that rows inserted into tables meet specified criteria. For example table T created as follows CREATE TABLE T ( X INT, CHECK (X = 10) ); has a check constraint so that if the user tried to insert a row with the following statement: INSERT INTO T VALUES (11); then the DBMS reports an error but if on the other hand the user enters INSERT INTO T VALUES (6); then 6 = 10 so the insertion works fine. It would be nice if mysql supported this feature, but thanks for mysql.

Re: Join
Before you proceed I would advise you to revise your relational model. For instance why do you have both id and artistid in both tables? Can more than one artist sing or participate in the production of the same song? If yes then your database should probably look like: Artists(artist_id, artist_name) PRIMARY KEY artist_id AUTO_INCREMENT Sings(artist_id, song_id) PRIMARY KEY (artist_id, song_id) FOREIGN KEY artist_id REFERENCES Artists FOREIGN KEY song_id REFERENCES Songs Songs(song_id, song_name) PRIMARY KEY song_id AUTO_INCREMENT Then to search for all songs by all artists named Joe Doe you would do: SELECT song_name FROM Artists, Sings, Songs WHERE Artists.artist_id = Sings.artist_id AND Sings.song_id = Songs.song_id AND artist_name = 'Joe Doe'; I leave it as an exercise for you to modify this model to account for a group of Artists being part of a particular Band with the band names also stored in the database.

Re: opinion - voating
On Mon, 26 Nov 2001, Ken Kinder wrote: Oracle is certainly more full-featured, but if you know very little about databases, Oracle is not the right choice. I agree. First of all the system requirements are high. For instance the Oracle Universal Installer took something like three hours on a fairly high end PIII with 133MHz FSB! I have heared it takes for ages (up to a whole day) on other machines. This is not the worse part either. Have you ever used the sqlplus command line utility (which is the equivalent of the mysql command line tool or PostgreSQL's psql command line client). Well, sqlplus assumes your terminal is 24x80 even after you resize it. At least this is so with Oracle8i. I can tell you this: you won't learn much with a crappy tool like that cause as soon as you have more than two columns you won't be able to see the output in human readable form. Now my other point: Oracle8i is highly non-SQL compliant (although Oracle9i seems to be a little bit better). My last point about Oracle is that it is based on Java (see that JServer stuff when you start sqlplus?) and that is perhaps one of the reason it needs so much RAM. With a bit of bias we could conclude that if it were not for its disk and address space requirements then Oracle would be a fairly sluggish beast. Only use Oracle if you have a full-time fix-figure-salary Oracle expert AND you actually need Oracle's features. If you don't specifically know you need Oracle, you don't. Exactly. If I had the choice I would stay away from Oracle. Plus Oracle does not have good enough documentation either compared to most Open source products. Now there is one thing that we must be aware of. There are things that mysql does not support (yet). These include foreign keys, views, subselects, triggers, and procedural SQL, and I can't remember if mySQL supports transaction processing either, perhaps someone can confirm. However, mysql is much faster than other database system so you may still want to use it depending on the complexity of your database.

On Mon, 26 Nov 2001, Christian Sage wrote: Neil, I'm not going to argue against your view, because for a discussion on Oracle this is clearly the wrong place. However, I would like to correct your facts in one respect: while SQL plus has a standard line size of 80 characters and a standard page size of 24, you can very easily set your linesize to any value you want (within reason, but I know I have used 512 successfully, and that is certainly wider than any terminal size I would set), and pagesize could traditionally go up to 32767 or be set to 0, which means no page breaks, no headers, etc. I would certainly be interested in knowing how this is done. In any case even if there is a way sqlplus does not do it properly. Smart terminal application know how to catch a SIGWINCH and act accordingly. For example when you resize an exterm and do an echo $LINES; echo $COLUMNS you will see that the values have changed. You can also have it pause for you after each page and set the prompt it will give you whenever it so pauses. Interesting. How is this done? Is there a way to do this in mysql. In either case xterm has a -sb option which you can set to any value allowing you to scroll down (and up) as far as you please. There are numerous other things you can set on the fly or via a configuration scripts. Perhaps the Oracle folks could have been kind enough to include an installation script as well, rather than that deadbeat universal installer. How about something called install.sh It takes some effort to get familiar with SQL plus, but once you have done that, it is a very powerful and versatile tool indeed. Which has no bearing at all on MySQL, but I think a measure of fairness towards competitors is always indicated. Cheers, Christian -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: Neil Zanella [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 26.

I agree. First of all the system requirements are high. For instance the Oracle Universal Installer took something like three hours on a fairly high end PIII with 133MHz FSB! I have heared it takes for ages (up to a whole day) on other machines. This is not the worse part either. Have you ever used the sqlplus command line utility (which is the equivalent of the mysql command line tool or PostgreSQL's psql command line client). Well, sqlplus assumes your terminal is 24x80 even after you resize it. At least this is so with Oracle8i. I can tell you this: you won't learn much with a crappy tool like that cause as soon as you have more than two columns you won't be able to see the output in human readable form. Now my other point: Oracle8i is highly non-SQL compliant (although Oracle9i seems to be a little bit better). My last point about Oracle is that it is based on Java (see that JServer stuff when you start sqlplus?) and that is perhaps one of the reason it needs so much RAM. With a bit of bias we could conclude that if it were not for its disk and address space requirements then Oracle would be a fairly sluggish beast. Only use Oracle if you have a full-time fix-figure-salary Oracle expert AND you actually need Oracle's features. If you don't specifically know you need Oracle, you don't. Exactly. If I had the choice I would stay away from Oracle. Plus Oracle does not have good enough documentation either compared to most Open source products. Now there is one thing that we must be aware of. There are things that mysql does not support (yet). These include foreign keys, views, subselects, triggers, and procedural SQL, and I can't remember if mySQL supports transaction processing either, perhaps someone can confirm. However, mysql is much faster than other database system so you may still want to use it depending on the complexity of your database. If your database is not complex or if you do not need subselects then go with mysql. Most of the time you can get around all of this by recoding some things here and there.

MySQL and GPL license: questions and discussion
I would like to discuss the MYSQL licensing policy. Please do not take anything personally. I do think that MySQL is one of best database management systems out there. Pertaining to the FAQ on the mysql.com site: --- begin snip Q:Does MySQL AB develop non-open source products? A:No. All the software we develop is open source / free software. The core MySQL[tm] server is under GPL. --- end snip -- I would like to know some more details here. In particular: 1. What was the name of the first GPL file release of MySQL? 2. Which portions are not distributed by mysql.com as part of MySQL? 3. Which portions of the Windows MySQL release are not released under the GPL if any? For instance is the windows installer program (is there one?) released under the GPL? 4. Are the Linux versions shipped with Red Hat 7 and 7.1 entirely distributed under the GPL? 5. Do PHP web applications that use PHP and MySQL require a MySQL license? Such applications are not derivative works as they are merely interfaces. Thus they do not require a license. Correct? References: 1. http://www.mysql.com/news/article-36.html (announces GLP release of source code) 2. http://www.mysql.com/news/article-75.html (some FAQs including the above) A:Forks are perfectly legal derivatives of GPL'd code as long as the GPL terms are followed. But please note that forking does not give the forker any rights to use the trademarks of others. The most ambiguous aspect of the GPL is that it does not seem to clearly specify what and what not comprises a derivative work. Does a web application which uses MySQL comprise a derivative work. I don't think so. Do such web applications have to be placed under the GPL. I don't see anything in the GPL that states this.

It appears to me that it is impossible to specify the following when compiling PHP because configure will look in /usr/lib/mysql/lib which will not exist: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql This is wrong but it is quite unfortunate that it is wrong because this makes the RPM installation virtually unusable with PHP. Perhaps the configure script in PHP should be patched (?). Other than that it is important to compile --with-zlib when using --with-mysql or the programs will compile fine but when starting apache you will get an error about uncompress. Also make sure that /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to the kernel source tree or make will not find some .h files and compilation will not be possible.

If you are uncomfortable with RPM try the following: rpm -qa | grep mysql rpm -qa | grep MySQL rpm -ql MySQL-client* Also red the maximum rpm manual: slocate RPM; slocate rpm | grep pdf I think mysqladmin might be under /usr/sbin. And to find out where a file came from do rpm -qf path-to-file. Now pertaining to the fact that mysql stuff is instlled all over the place by the RPMs that is good but when you try to install PHP it is impossible to specify a single directory to --with-mysql=dir. How then is it possible to install mysql support into PHP when everything is all over the place? I red the PHP README but found no answer and also found that when given the --with-mysql flag php 4.0.5 was not compiling on RHL6.2 due to missing files. Any feedback is welcome. (soory about the text formatting. MY console is currently 10x40!) Thanks!

I have installed the source for 3.23.38 server and it has worked flawlessly. Nonetheless, I now need all of the above pieces of software on my new box. Problem: I can only find: 1. Source for ONLY 3.23.38 server 2. RPMs for share, development, client and server for 3.23.37 I have no problem using the 3.23.37 stuff, but when I install the rpms the installation seems incomplete and just...wrong for lack of a better word. I was under the impression that the default location was /usr/local/mysql. It is for the source. But things seem spread ALL over the place when I install from the RPMs. For example there is no /usr/local/mysql. Another example, after the server is done installing, I am instructed to cahnge the password via /usr/bin/mysqladmin, but mysqladmin is no where to be found. This happened on installs from both my RedHat 7.1 distro and from the tarball I downloaded from mysql.com. Am I missing something? I thought I hated RPMs before, but now I REALLY can't stand them. Is there anywhere to get the latest versions of the source for all the components of mysql? I have installed and reinstalled countless times...i can't stand it anymore. I would be extremely greatful if someone could explain these confusing issues to me.

Re: mysql php connection errors
Did you manage to compile PHP with mysql support? I think by default red hat disables it.

MySQL RPM file: message suggestion
Hello, I just reinstalled Red Hat 6.2 and reinstalled MySQL 3.23.38 and got the following message as usual: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h tulip.math.ualberta.ca -p password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. But I think the message is still not right because the right message is: PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! This is done with: /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h tulip.math.ualberta.ca password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions. The -p really should be taken out of there. If the mysql developers would like I can send them a fixed RPM spec file. Thanks!
