RE: Install on WIN2k
Stefan, I have checked these things. To re-state the problem. I already have mysql up and running on several servers with apps accessing them from my web site.

Hi,
is there an easy way to programmatically backup MySQL database tables using
Perl? My Perl code will be running on a machine remote to the MySQL server.

Well I'm fairly new to MySQL so I am not sure if this'll work. If it does it
will save a few cycles of logic.
SELECT LPAD(req_number,6,'0');
Don't know if you need to coerce the numeric data into a string first
though.

I need to be able to connect to mysql through a perl or C++ script without
knowing the name of the database to connect to.
,,,
I'm not an expert om the C++ API. But if the host is a UNIX system
you can do a RSH command in C++ as well as in Perl.
mysql -u username 'show databases;'
Maybe there's a better solution, but in worst case this would do it.

above which does the following:
@echo off
net use h: /delete
net use h: \\mcdsssql\hrdata
Then runs my script.
OK - here is the problem:
the execute above dies with the following error:

Need recommendations Advanced SQL book
Group, I have to move my work from Mysql to Postgres ( political decision ) - Need any and all recommendations for books on advanced SQL. Mysql is a holds a lot less to the standard than postgres - or so it seems and I need to look more at standard SQL for some of the things that I am doing.

RE: Need recommendations Advanced SQL book
We are in Agreement on this point Gerald. I would prefer Mysql to
Postgresql. The problem is that the shop where I work had a major Oracle
system - full of triggers and functions (Oracle $$$ - Yuck!). So the
decision was made to move to Postgresql. The systems that I developed have
been based upon Mysql - but management decision has been to move everything
to one DB. So that's where I am at.
My current problem has been in select and grouping - two problems. On mysql
I could do something like the following from my perl script:
Problem 1)
my $select = qq! select tablea.id, tableb.id sum(tablea.qty1),
sum(tablea.qty2)...
group by tablea.id
And then
print $return_rec-{'sum(tablea.qty1)'}\n;
Postgresql returns nothing with this type of statement. Doing the sql
manually at the prompt produces
tablea.id | tableb.id | sum | sum |
with the data in the rows. So I try
print $return_rec-{'sum'}\n and I get the first sum. How do I get to the
second?
Problem 2)
Related to problem 1 is the group by expression - I get an error from
postgresql about needing tableb.id in the group or aggregate part of the sql
statment. Adding this to group by phrase works in some sql statments -
however in others trying to group by the additional fields the postgresql
requires produces different results.
These are my main two issues which has led to my search for books.
I am thinking ( could be wrong and will accept any correction ) that
postgresql holds closer to the SQL standard. My rational for this thinking
is based upon things like not being able to do sum on a varchar field -
postgres croaks by mysql says if there is number there I will sum it.
Thanks again.

Mine were never even acknowledged on the postgresql group.
That was the reason I went with MySQL. I have never regretted it.

RE: question about varchars
Hello, What you say below is of great interest to me. Currently I have been writing front end code to handle the size issue but I would like to be open to other possibilities. So my question about your answer below is: Just how does the developer obtain the error condition from Mysql when an insert or update sends data that is too long to a field with a restricted size? Thanks -Original Message- From: Ralf Narozny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 1:59 AM To: Desmond Lee Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: question about varchars Hello! Desmond Lee wrote: Hello there Mysql documentation says the following: values are stored using only as many characters as are needed, plus one byte to record the length. Values are not padded; instead, trailing spaces are removed when values are stored. So, then would there be anything wrong with making all my varchar's up to 255. That is defining most of my fields to be varchar(255) even when i know they may only go 100? There's nothing wrong with it for storage reasons only, but many database developers use lengths to restrict the size of the entries. For example storing the zipcodes from more than one country might need at max 15 characters, so why allowing 255, preventing MySQL to raise an error, if the ZIP is 100 chars long.

RE: Data Entry for a Newbie
Hello! two ways: Fun way: Get Perl and write some cgi using html/javascript front end Another way (maybe not as fun - but gets the job done): Enter data in Excel spreadsheet and export to comma delimited file. Then go and read the docs on mysqlimport command. Cheers! -Original Message- From: William Bradley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 8:13 AM To: Mysql Subject: Data Entry for a Newbie At the moment I have Mysql installed and understand command line entry of data, or entry via a text file. Either way, it is difficult, especially if you have been used to data entry screens. Is there a utility somewhere that would allow me to do this? Failing that, is it possible to write a html file to communicate with the server on my own computer?

help in re-thinking a way to do the following:
Group,
Given the following code:
$sql = qq! select * from table where suffix1 ''!;
$db_action = $DB-prepare($sql);
$db_action-execute or die could not do $sql - $DBI::errstr;
$rows = $db_action-rows;
$rec = $db_action-fetchall_arrayref;
$db_action-finish;
for ($i=0;$i$rows;$i++) {
$id = $rec-[$i][0];
$first_name = $rec-[$i][1];
$last_name = $rec-[$i][2];
$identifier = $rec-[$i][3];
$prefix1 = $rec-[$i][4];
$suffix1 = $rec-[$i][5];
$prefix2 = $rec-[$i][6];
$suffix2 = $rec-[$i][7];
$site = $rec-[$i][8];
$location = $rec-[$i][9];
$phone_loc_id = $rec-[$i][10];
I would like to find alternate ways to do this that would take into account
changes to the table. For example let's say that the table changes (for
example lets say that site field in the above example is removed). What I
am interested in, is how are others in the group are handling this type of
thing. I have heard something about tying column names - not sure what this
is. Any and all suggestions will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

RE: HELP!!! major situation with mysql on windows 2000
Thanks to all - another coder showed me the error of my ways :) I had a join without a where clause - a big no-no. I had to restart the server and repair my code and now I am back to normal.

The MySQL server will only notice that you stopped the client, when it is ready to send some results back. Depending on the query this may take a while. You should use your preferred admin tool (mysqladmin if nothing else), and as database root look at the processlist and kill the query in question. I see that there are several servers that can be run. Should I be running one of other servers? No. As long as you have to ask, you have no need for the other servers. ;-) I am currently running mysqld-nt but there is mysqld-max-nt, mysqld-max mysqld-max* has some additional features compiled in by default (e.g. InnoDB table type). This has nothing to do with the problem you observed. The *-nt version are for the server version of Windows, including Windows 2000, so you are using the correct binary.

question about differences with mysql on windows and unix

question about perl connection to mysql on another machine
group, Here is the situation. I have to connect to Mysql running on another windows 2000 box. I have never done this before. Do I set this up in the tables as another host and use the -h parm in command shell and the host parm in my perl scripts? or is there another way to do it? Any help would be appreciated - I am of unix background trying to swim in the windows pool.

What is going on? Performance question
I am running mysql and apache on windows 2000. Everything is running smoothly and then all of the sudden my perl scripts that have been running just find are loading very very slowly. I am not sure if it is mysql, perl, apache or what. These are the same scripts that have been running just fine until today. Are there any steps I can take to figure this out? Thanks.

Very new to windows version - question about host and server
Group, I have been using (very happily) mysql on unix boxes. I am in a new job and there is not a unix box in sight!!! ouch! This is a windows 2000 shop. Here is the situation and I am looking for any and all suggestions: 1) I have mysql, apache, perl, etc running on my own box and I have just installed mysql on the main server ( also windows 2000). 2) How do I access my new mysql databases on the server? 3) Does it have to do with the -h parm? Any and all help would be appreciated. If I have not been clear enough - I will try to add more.
