RE: Secure logon from VB.net
If MySQL is running on a unix/Linux server you can use the native ssh that
is available on that system and then you don't need anything special in so
far as ssh or SSL is concerned with MySQL. You don't have to use MySQL 4.x.
The basic idea from VB.net is to create an SSH tunnel to the MySQL host
server and forward port 3306.
>From the client VB.net application, you connect to localhost( it uses port
3306 by default) and use the username and password for MySQL( on the remote
host). The connection is sent securly through the tunnel and your problem is
solved.
Make secure you close the tunnel after you use it.

Thomas,
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/search.php?q=ssl&lang=en&charset=iso-8859-1
It looks like SSL/SSH are only available as of MySQL 4 or higher.
Is your Net Admin really worried about eaves dropping of packets on the
local network. It must be very sensitive data. If you already have a MySQL
database on your network that is lower version than 4 then how do the other
apps connect to it securely? Or is your app the only one that needs this
level of security and other app can transmit to the db in clear text?

Thanks,
Actually it is the transmission connection string he is worried
about. I might have to go with an SSL connection and go from there.. The
problems being that I'm not sure what software i have available to me on
the server and what software i can add to the client machines..
this might be another simple question but with SSL can i have 5-6 machines
all connected to the same server with the same user id being used??
Unfortunately I'm new to SSL..
Many thanks,

Thomas,
Are you sure that encrypting the connection string is what your network
admin means?
When I hear someone say they want the logon encrypted I would think they
mean store the password of a user encrypted in the db. That is, the
application requires the user to logon and user info is stored in the db to
logon against. When the user enters a username and password the password is
encrypted and compared to an encrypted password in the db to validate the
user.
I think you can use ssl to encrypt all communication between your app and
the database but I don't know of a way to pass an encrypted connection
string and have the db decrypt it before it makes a connection. My ignorance
doesn't mean its not possible so maybe someone else can suggest something.
If the idea is to prevent someone from seeing your code and learning a db
logon I guess you could store the connection string encrypted in a config
file for your app then decrypt it before you connect. You'd have to use an
encryption that can be decrypted with a key.
Checkout the System.Security.Cryptography.DESCryptoServiceProvider class
Hope that helps,

Preorder Today! A series of essays on the influential thinkers and ideas in modern times. product_desc: Coming Soon! Preorder Today! By R.J. Rushdoony. This monumental work is a series of essays on the influential thinkers and ideas in modern times. The author begins with De Sade, who self-consciously broke with any Christian basis for morality and law. Enlightenment thinking began with nature as the only reality, and Christianity was reduced to one option among many. It was then, in turn, attacked as anti-democratic and anti-freedom for its dogmatic assertion of the supernatural. Literary figures such as Shelly, Byron, Whitman, and more are also examined, for the Enlightenment presented both the intellectual and the artist as replacement for the theologian and his church. Ideas, such as the spirit of the age, truth, reason, Romanticism, persona, and Gnosticism are related to the desire to negate God and Christian ethics. Reading this book will help you understand the need to avoid the syncretistic blending of humanistic philosophy with the Christian faith.

Actually, you should be able to get the data in one query: in general,
any time you are doing a restriction on some value being in a set of
values (such as order_id not in ) you
can rewrite the query using LEFT OUTER JOIN's. In this case, the
solution would be something like:
SELECT *
FROM orders o
INNER JOIN transaction_log t
ON o.order_id = t.order_id
AND t.event_log_id = 1
LEFT OUTER JOIN transaction_log t2
ON t.order_id = t2.order_id
AND t2.event_log_id = 3
WHERE t2.order_id IS NULL;
The way this works is to join across the transaction_log table twice:
first, to retrieve all rows that reference the given order and have an
event log id of 1, and second to retrieve all rows that reference the
given order id and have an event log id of 2. We then restrict to get
only those rows that do not have valid values in the second join's
results (namely, those transactions that have an event id of 1, from the
initial (inner) join, but do not have a corresponding event id of 3,
from the second (outer) join).

MySQL search question
I am currently working on a website that is implemented using PHP and MySQL. The site currently has a simple search engine that allows a shopper to type in a search string that is stored in $search. For example, if a shopper types in 1972 Ford Mustang $string ="1972 Ford Mustang" Using the following SQL statement: SELECT * FROM whatevertable WHERE whatevercolumn LIKE '%$search% Records are returned that have this exact string and in this exact order (I'm aware a wild card character is included on the front and back of the string). My desire is to be able to logically AND each token of the search together independent or the order of the tokens. I want to return all records that have Mustang AND 1972 AND Ford. Since a shopper inputs the search string in advance I don't know how many tokens will be used. I would appreciate any suggestions.

RE: Grant question
I have an existing mysql user that I wish to add the INDEX privilege. Is there a command that I can use to add a privilege without first deleting the user and then recreating with the GRANT command?
