Re: Running mysql (complete newbie)

2003-07-30 Thread Nick Stuart
Hi guys/gals, the problem is directory perms but not in the tmp. And yes
you should have my.cnf in your /etc (can change this location but cant
remember where), and there are sample cnf files in the support-files
directory of mysql.
As far as the directory issue goes simply run:
chown -R mysql data
chgrp -R mysql data
in the mysql directory. Obviously you need to have a mysql user, and
this lets that user, and only that user write to the data directory, or
even enter it for that matter (besides root of course).

HTH!

Replacing text on query..

2003-06-23 Thread Nick Stuart
Hello all. I was wandering if it was possible to do a general
replacement of text on a query. What I want to do is for any fields that
equal 'false' to be replaced with 0 and any fields that equal 'true' be
replaced with 1.

Now I know you can do if statements, but I have a whole bunch of fields
and don't really want to go down the route on all of the fields. But if
I have to I will.

Thanks for the advice!

RE: Replacing text on query..

Thanks for pointing that one out. Unfortunately relplace(table.*, ...)
does not work (syntax error) so I'll stil have to go through each field
individually. This will be two statements per-field which kinda stinks,
but oh well.

Thanks again!

Alter table error

2003-01-08 Thread Nick Stuart
Got another problem with 4.0.7 when trying to alter the table.
Trying to run:
ALTER TABLE `call_information` CHANGE `close_date` `close_date`
TIMESTAMP DEFAULT '' NOT NULL 
and it returns a:
ERROR 7: Error on rename of '.\helpdesk\call_information.MYI' to
'.\helpdesk\#sql2-b90-81.MYI' (Errcode: 13)

Any ideas on why I would get this?? I think it has something to do with
my case problem that I posted before because if you look it says
helpdesk instead of HelpDesk.

RE: Alter table error

2003-01-08 Thread Nick Stuart
Thats what I thought, but wasnt the case. The directory was open to full
control by everyone. I did fix the problem though. It turns out this is
an issue with windows not letting anyone edit a file that is in use. And
when a table is used mysql will cache and hence windows thinks it's in
use and will lock it.
I just had to do a mysqladmin -u root refresh and I was able to edit the
table. God how I've missed windows! blah!
Thanks for the pointer though. I ended up finding this solution
somewhere through google, can't remember where atm though.

 Errorcode 13 is permission denied or file not found.  Either
 .\helpdesk\#sql2-b90-81.MYI exists and your mysqld user does not have
 permission to overwrite it, or the user does not have write permissions on
 the data dir and everything in it.  Using perror will help you decode the
 errorcodes.

Re: help with query

2002-06-14 Thread Nick Stuart

I think the best way to do this is to set up two tables. One for the main
topic list, then one for each sub topic. You may already have this but I
cant see it here. Anyways to get your selection order correct you could do
something like:SELECT * FROM forum ORDER BY parent_id, id

Have any exampls of what you tried? And what exactly didnt work or turn
out right?-Nick

 I am trying to get something like the following:

 Title
 -
 topic #1
   sub topic #1.1
 topic #2
   sub topic #2.1
   sub topic #2.2

 from the following table (I am using php for scripting).

 forum
 
 idint
 parent_id int (refers to the forum.id field)
 title
 ...

 How can I get the above output in the correct order since the posts
 into the table can come in any order?  I have tried various order by's
 and group by's.

 I am so lost on this.

 Thanks in Advance,

Re: SQL Help Needed

2002-05-23 Thread Nick Stuart

Ok this should be easy so I'm prolly going to screw it up, but here goes =D

Your query should be:
SELECT UserID, SUM(points) FROM History WHERE WeekID = 'whatever' GROUP BY
UserIdI think that should do it. Someone yell if its wrong though.

-Nick

 I have 2 tables

 Users (UserID)

 History (UserID, WeekID, Points)

 When a User record is created a record is inserted into History with
 the current WeekID, so for example data could be :

 Users
 
 
 
 
 

 History
 --
  - 1 - 10
  - 1 - 20
  - 1 - 30
  - 2 - 40

 I want to run a query to return one row for each User row and their
 points for any given week.  In other words somebody asks for all points
 in Week 1 the result should be :

  - 10
  - 20
  - 30
  - 0

 Or, all points for WeekID 2 would give :

  - 0
  - 0
  - 0
  - 40


 I have tried lots of things but I think my brain is just not giving me
 the correct solution.

 Please help!

Re: returning top two values

2002-05-21 Thread Nick Stuart

Not a problem. I think the easist way to do it is
SELECT * FROM families ORDER BY score DESC
LIMIT 2 Of course you need your grouping statement in there but the ORDER
BY section shouldntmake a difference.
There are MAX and MIN functions but my understanding is that those will

only return THE highest/lowest values and not say the highest two values.
It would work Ibelieve if there were two families with the same highest score. Someone
correct me if I'mwrong.

-Nick

 Hi,
 I have a table containing data on a number of families.

 I

want to retrieve members of each family that have the two highest
 scoring values for a

column. i.e the max and second max.
 Is there a function similar to max() or greatest()
that
will return the
  top 2 values when grouping by family ID?

 I can do this using
perl in
about three steps but would rather make
 life  easier for myself if I can.


Thanks in
advance

There is no from clause in the update syntax. However, I'm not sure how

SQL looks
correct besides the fromclause. Just take that out and see if what it says.

 hi.  i'm new to the list and

have only been playing with mySQL for a

 following:

 update trackinfo

SET trackinfo.postcode = newtrackinfo.postcode FROM
 trackinfo, newtrackinfo
WHERE
trackinfo.telephone =

 it should update
trackinfo
with the postcodes from newtrackinfo, as

match - but i get an

 am i missign

Have you tried using phpMyAdmin?? It allows you to connect to several
different host quiteeasily. You can download it at:
http://www.phpwizard.net/projects/phpMyAdmin/index.html
And actually any of the
GUI front end apps for M$ should be able to connect to a remote server (I
think). You just have tomake sure your MySQL permissions  allow for outside users to 
log on.

-Nick

 Is there an
appl for administering MySQL on a remote Linux server from
 a Win 2K client?

Re: mysql index question

2002-05-16 Thread Nick Stuart

From my understanding primary keys and foreign keys are indexed. Someone
correct me if I'mwrong here. And you shouldn't have to do anything else to field 
besides
make it a float to usenegative numbers.

-Nick


Regarding mysql...
 1) Are primary keys and foreign
keys by default indexes for a table?
2)
 Do I have to use a special data other than float to
allow for negative
 numbers, i.e. I
want to be able to enter -1.76 and be able to later do

math against that number...



Thanks,
 Taylor

Re: Question about MySQL

As far as I know MySQL does not yet support nested SELECT statements.

-Nick

 Hi,


 I am new in the MySql business so I'm sorry if my question is too
 simple.  Is
there any
way to nest queries in MySql in the following
 manner: select field from
table
where id = (select ...)

 Thanks for your attention,

java...mysql

2002-05-03 Thread Nick Stuart

Sorry if this got sent twice...

Hello all.
Im trying to right a simple program for MySQL
through java but am running into a problem of sorts. Following is the code
that has theproblem:

conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:mysql://localhost/mysql?user=rootpassword=);stmt
= conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute(CREATE DATABASE
quake3parsed);
conn.close();
shell.exec(C:\\mysql\\bin\\mysqladmin -u root -
p reload).waitFor();
conn =
DriverManager.getConnection(jdbc:mysql://localhost/quake3parsed?user=rootpassword==);stmt
= conn.createStatement();

The problem is on the second connect try I get the following
SQL Exception:
SQLException: General error: Unknown database
'quake3parsed'
SQLState: S1000
VenderError: 1049

But if I go to access MySQL from
any other source it shows that the database has been created and is there.
Is there any sort ofgrace period that I need to wait for MySQL to take the new db?
Also I tried it by
using:
shell.exec(C:\\mysql\\bin\\mysqladmin -u root -p* CREATE
quake3parsed).waitFor();
as well but that gave the same results.

Thanks for the
help in advance.
-Nick

SBS and MySQL

2002-04-11 Thread Nick Stuart

Hello all,

We recently Installed MySQL on M$ lovely Small Business Server, and since
then we have been experience some problems. I was wondering if any one had
experience with SBSand MySQL and if they did or did not have any problems with it.
Personally I don't think it is
MySQL that is crashing it but try telling that to the IT guys =)
Apparently some of the
problems include the kernel crashing and some of the backups are failing
for no apparentreason. Is there any way at all that MySQL could be responsible for 
these?
I wouldn't thinkthat MySQL would do this as it simply runs as a service and doesn't
particularly mess with anywindows settings.

Thanks for the help!

PHP Question

2002-04-11 Thread Nick Stuart

Ok so this really doesnt have anything to do with MySQL but I thought this
might be a good placeto ask.
Ok heres the problem. I am constructing a Message Board with MySQL and php
(was usingASP) and I dont want the user to reload/repost data. For example, say the
user goes to post amessage, after they hit the post button it takes them to a temp page
saying that there post wassuccesful with a link to go view the post. The problem 
arises if some one
decides to hit thereload button. Because of the way I have the posting page setup it 
will
reload the page and postthe message again! doh!
Anyways, has anyone come up against a similar problem and found a
way around it?

Thanks in advance.

RE:PHP Question

2002-04-11 Thread Nick Stuart

Thanks for all of you who responded with ideas. I think I'm going to go
with the temp
page,redirect solution. Seems to me that this is the
simplest and easiest way to deal with
it. I could have dont it with MySQL as some one stated by entering a
unique identifier andkeeping track of that, but generating and passing that around 
could become
a hassel, and Iknew there must have been a better way.

Thanks again,

Text Field Inserts

2002-04-03 Thread Nick Stuart

I'm having a problem with trying to come up with a work around for this
common(?) problem. I'mnew to using MySQL but have gotten a handle on it pretty easily. 
My
problem is that I'm using itto develop a simple message board and of course message 
boards have a lot
of text in them.

My problem is when a user types in a word like can't or it's or something
similar.
You
can see the problem in that ' will stop the current string and the next
characters will be a newone, which of course wrecks havoc on the statement.

Also haven't experimented with
other punctuation but anything else to look out for would be nice as well.

Thanks for the
help in advance.
