When does using multiple databases make sense?
Greetings, I am wandering under what circumstances it is sensible/beneficial to use multiple databases for a single project, and why. The reason I ask is because I am re-developing an existing database with MySQL that someone else created with another engine (DBISAM) and chose to have 5 separate databases used by one application. And yes, I do mean databases not tables LOL.

RE: Please analyze my project table design
Thanks guys. I thought that normalization would refer to redundant info not necessarily the same column names? I would further see the problem with the design if say phone_number in the agent table and lawyer table contained the same data, which of course they won't. I thought about the persons table instead however you might notice that there are some columns that each do not have. Ie. home and work numbers for vendors and purchasers, firm for lawyers etc. Also I am expecting several columns to be NULL values for vendors and purchasers but not the other persons. I am very concerned with how I have setup the PK/FK/indices! Thanks guys!

Cannot get Digest
I seem to be unable to get this list in digest format :( I previously signed up for normal version. I have tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing with Digest - MIME instead and I keep getting the normal list (individual e-mails for every post!)

Greetings. Can anyone tell me what type of encryption is used when sending mysql username/password through ODBC. I see that the data and username are plaintext.

RE: What would be an efficient way to accomplish this ( Statistic s/Trends in a table?) Thanks!
Thanks for your help, just what I needed. I will play around but if you have a chance and know how, how would I order the results by count?

What would be an efficient way to accomplish this (Statistics/Trends in a table?) Thanks!
I would appreciate any advice on this. PHP+MySQL snippets even better :P How can I do this: For example I have a table with a field FIRST_NAME I want to produce the statistics of how many identical FIRST_NAME entries there are in the table. Yes I could hard code queries to match a list of predetermined entries (ie., knowing that there are common names like Paul, Bob and John) and do a count on each match but this will not suffice because in this example it will not account for say occurrences of the first name Xanther, LOL. Anyway... I had a nap and am back before I clicked send. During my nap I dreamed up something like selecting all FIRST_NAME ordered by same, and them some kind of script to do counts. Any other/further suggestions appreciated. Thanks! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
