[QUERY] Problem with Syntax/Query. Need Help Please.

2001-11-16 Thread Pure Krome

G'Day All.

I'm trying to do the following in a query, in mySQL.
All my previous years of SQL has been on MS-SQL, and i'm having some little
problems with tricky sql statements.

*
i'm trying to insert a new record if the name doesn't exist in the table. If
i insert, return ID, else return 0
*

pseduo -sql syntax

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @intPersonID   INTEGER

SELECT PersonID from tbl_PERSON WHERE Name = @strName
SELECT @intPersonID = @@IDENTITY

IF @intPersonID  1
   BEGIN
  INSERT tbl_PERSON (Name, Surname) VALUES ('TestName', 'TestSurname')
  SELECT @intPersonID = @@IDENTITY
   END
ELSE
   SET @intPERSONID = 0

end psedu untested code

I have NO idea how i can do this on MYSQL..

Any help would be extreamly appreciated.

[NEWBIE] How to install MySql++1.7.9?

2001-11-04 Thread Pure Krome

Hello All.

*disclaimer*
I'm blond. I'm a linux newbie. I've searched the mailinglist/newsgroup
archives.
*end disclaimer*


I'm trying / wanting to install mysql++ on my MANDRAKE 8.1 LINUX
MACHINE.

That means i'm running GCC/G++ VERSION 3.0.1

Could someone please be kind to explain IN DUMB SPEAK for a newbie
like me, EXACTLY what i should do to install mysql++ ?

Should i install it as ROOT? or just the normal account i normally use
[user == pure]?

I have mysql running already...
mysql 1950  0.0  1.4 27064 4576 ?SNov01   0:00
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysq...

so, could someone please explain what to do exactly please.

ie.

1.log in as user 'pure' into shell
2. download file into pure root home directory [from where?]
3. download patch
4. rpm -vhi downloaded file
5. run patch
6. do this
7. do that
8. headbutt monitor
9. goto 6.

etc.. etc..

i do appologise if this sounds very lame, but i'm fed up with trying
to figure this stuff out by myself and i'm running out of time.


Thank you dearly in-advance to any support i receive.

Regards - Pure Krome, Melbourne, Austrlia
