gemini tables in mysql
Hi, since Nusphere release the source code for gemini yesterday I believe it was, I was wondering if Mysql AB was going to incorporate it into a future release if it's database.

blob question
Hi, I'm new to blobs. I want to create a seperate table that will hold blob's or pictures. Each picture will be a .gif and will not exceed 100k in size. each image will be called, ord.gif, bar.gif, cmi,gif, lax.gif, jfk.gif, ord.gif, etc. The questions I had were 1. what would the create table statment look like. 2. Should I use a longblob based on my 100k .gif size? 3. Is one column with the gifs enough. Or should I add a autoincremented primary key? 4. Is it better to have a seperate table for this or, is it better to update my existing table, and add a blob column. Does it matter in terms of speed of queries? Queries will be done via php. Thanks!

Re: blob question
Thanks, regarding the PHP info. What I need to know is: 1. what would the create table statment look like in Mysql. 2. Should I use a longblob based on my 100k .gif size? 3. Is one column with the gifs enough. Or should I add a autoincremented primary key? 4. Is it better to have a seperate table for this or, is it better to update my existing table, and add a blob column. Does it matter in terms of speed of queries? Pete Werner Stuerenburg wrote: Generally, it is not advised to add pictures to tables. See http://www.bitbybit.dk/mysqlfaq/faq.html#storing_images We had this question here some days ago, so it may ge a good idea to discuss at length possible problems why people won't like this approach of storing pics as files. WARNING: this is _not_ MySQL specific. You may want to stop reading here. 2nd WARNING: I will also show what can be done with all that information to arrive at some kind of content management wizardry. After all, people do use MySQL to do something with it, and many seem to manage pictures. So here it goes. If you let people upload images with php (which is built in and really easy) you will receive the images in, say some sort of tmp dir. You will have to move them in your code to a separate storage dir, as php will automatically delete the tmp files (see manual). Now php is part of httpd and that runs as nobody, so it cannot write to that storage dir unless you open that dir to nobody. This will be ok as you use this dir only for the purpose of storing those third party images. You may protect it in addition with .htaccess or move it out of the normal dir tree if you are a little paranoid. Now you can store the images as files with no problem and only note the filename and type or such (for example comments of the user to the picture) in the database. When you upload, you move the file, so this is a good point to record the file in your table. Once you are at it, you can retrieve the dimensions of that image with php function getImageSize and store them in your table together with the type as well. So now you know everything about this file you need for inclusion in your html code. Hence you write yourself a function, say getImgCode, which produces the html tags from this info, so you can insert the whole stuff into your code without any further thought like ... ?php getImgCode(firstNameOfMyPicture) ? ... You may even go a step further if you are in at content production. Let's assume the user uploads any text and pictures. The user is instructed to embed their pics with special syntax like ... stuff stuff stuff *MyImageFirstName* stuff stuff stuff ... You later insert the image with $content = preg_replace(/\*(\w+)\*/e, getImgCode($1), $content); This example is taken from http://php.net/manual/en/ref.pcre.php (I developed a content management system along these lines on my own, but this is just stunning - an incentive to learn the art of regular expressions).

transactions
Can anyone tell me for shure if my version of mysql supports transactions. Version: 3.23.37 The bitbybit web site states that is does not, but someone told me that it does, help! MySQL doesn't support transactions. If you don't know what transactions are, chances are you'll never need them. Transactions are most widely used in systems where complex updates of many tables concurrently is important and you must be absolutely sure that all things either go right or don't happen at all. That's why banking systems are heavily dependent on transactions. The rest of us, however, can usually live without 'em. -- Hi Pete To emable logging use the --log option eg --log-update when stating the server...

Re: select query for duplicate records
That makes sense, sound like I'm redoing in PHP what the UNIQUE column
already does.
So all I need to do is modify my PHP trap using mysql_affected_rows() =
0, retun a error messagu to the used indicating a rcord already exists.
Will try it, THX!

I modified the database with a UNIQUE column like you recommended
earlier, this will now help in the PHP script to trap the duplicate
entry and advise the user of the dup.
But if hostname now has a UNIQUE index on it, it won't even be possible
for your table to have duplicate hostname values, other than NULL.
Probably all you need to do is just go ahead and try to insert the record,
and if mysql_affected_rows() is 0, it was a duplicate and was rejected.
?
// check for duplicate row
$query = SELECT hostname, COUNT(*) AS count FROM asset
GROUP BY hostname HAVING count 1
$result = mysql_query($query);
// check if row is returned, if yes error, if no insert
if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 0) {
echo error;
} else {
// DO INSERT

Re: preventing duplicate entries
My primary key field is a auto incremented index, the field I want to make unique, or to say, prevent duplicates in, is the hostname field, which has, hostnames of devices. Is the key word UNIQUE then? Not all of the devices have hostnames assigned to them, like terminals, so the hostname field is blank in many cases. If I make that field UNIQUE, will that cause a problem, with multiple blank fields? Thx! Pete Kristopher Briscoe wrote: What does your table definition look like? What fields are you looking to make unique? All you need to do is set one or multiple combined fields to UNIQUE or Primary keys. This will prevent duplicats. Another way would be to query the table for the information that is going to be inserted and see if you get a row returned. If so, then let the FE know. I would combine both methods for optimal assurance. On another note, I have been very interested in working with DHL. At one point I was speaking with someone in your HR department, but they have seen departed. I know this is odd, but if I forwared you my resume do you think you could pass it on to your internal recruiting staff?

I overcame this by adding to my php script, something that goves the

when hitting refresh, it just refreshes the results of what the php

I've written a couple of scripts and have a thing that I haven't quite
figured out. If anyone can shed light on this, I'd appreciate it.
When a person submits a form that inserts a record into the database, if
they then refresh the page that comes up after the submit, the record will
be submitted a second time. I suppose this is due to the fact that the
subroutine that is called with the submit contains both the write to
database bit and the view bit. So refreshing causes a repeat of both items.
How can I do this without that problem?
I was finally forced to add a check that there wasn't already an
identical record (using a minimum comparison set of fields) before
inserting the record. There really isn't any way to prevent dingbats
from refreshing, so... I CYA by emailing a copy of the record/element
values to myself when I refuse to add it in, but I havne't had any
spurious refusals so far.
