Re: Security
Since you are using a hosted database you probably can't change any of the security. What I would do is create a table of usernames and passwords (and any other releveant user data). When your users login, check their password and proceed accordingly.

Binary Log and WinXP Services
I am running Windows XP with MySQL running as a service. When I want to run MySQL with the option for logging (--log -bin), I have to start the service MANUALLY and type the --log -bin in the parameters box each time I restart the server.

Re: Table Question.
The queries will be a little complicated using a self join, but the table is simple should include: CUSTOMERID REFERRERID (Which is the CUSTOMERID of their referrer) CUSTOMERFIRSTNAME CUSTOMERLASTNAME ETC! The queries will then use a self join and table aliases to determine the commissions for each of the six levels. Using two levels would look something like this: SELECT CUSTOMERS.CustID, LEVEL1REFERRERS.CustID AS LEVEL1REFERREES, 1 AS LEVEL1COMMISSION, LEVEL2REFERRERS.CustID AS LEVEL2REFERREES, 1 AS LEVEL2COMMISSION FROM (CUSTOMERS INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS AS LEVEL1REFERRERS ON CUSTOMERS.CustID = LEVEL1REFERRERS.ReferrerID) INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS AS LEVEL2REFERRERS ON LEVEL1REFERRERS.CustID = LEVEL2REFERRERS.ReferrerID; If all you care about are the total commissions then again for two levels you would use: SELECT CUSTOMERS.CustID, Sum(1) AS LEVEL1COMMISSION, Sum(1) AS LEVEL2COMMISSION FROM (CUSTOMERS INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS AS LEVEL1REFERRERS ON CUSTOMERS.CustID = LEVEL1REFERRERS.ReferrerID) INNER JOIN CUSTOMERS AS LEVEL2REFERRERS ON LEVEL1REFERRERS.CustID = LEVEL2REFERRERS.ReferrerID GROUP BY CUSTOMERS.CustID; Obviously you would need to expand these to include the full six levels (whew!), but you could always create temporary heap tables to break this down into smaller manageable task. NOTE: I have not tested these queries so they may need some tweaking, but hopefully you get the general idea. Let me know if you want clarification.

A friend of mine who runs a small company has recently decided he's going to award his customers based on a 'referral' type program where, if I refer somebody to him, I get a recurring check for say $1 a month. If the person I referred refers somebody, that person get's $1 a month, and then I get say $0.50 a month on top of my $1 a month. People can refer as many people as they'd like, but for the 'sub-referrers' (i can't think of a better term to call them), I would only get paid up to six degrees of the original referrer. Hope that makes since... Anyhow, my friend has asked me to build a database where all of this information could be stored, and then I would have a script determine what is owed to who at the end of each month. The problem I'm having is that... I just can't think of a table structure to even begin with. I can do a simple table where I would have the customer_id, and then referrer_id, but the script would have to do a massive amount of queries and this just wouldn't be efficient at all.

InnoDB and Table Corruption
I am working with a low-load, mission-critical database. Although I have yet to have a corrupted table, I seem to read about it a lot on the list. This is a scary thought for me, considering the importance of the data I manage. Can anyone tell me if this is a rare occurrence? Is it even rarer if I choose to use InnoDB tables? Are there any statistics on corruption? There seems to be plenty of material on MySQL and InnoDB and speed vs the other major dbs, but what about stability and safety of data?

Re: Database Design Question
Hi Ben: Performance would definitely be better if you store the data in the database as opposed to simply storing references to files. Sounds like you could solve this with 2 tables with one for the actual lists (assuming the structure of all your list is the same) and the other for the list header info (like owner and creation date). Craig At 07:39 AM 3/28/2002, you wrote: Hi all, I am in the process of designing a MySQL database that will run on Redhat 7.1, but I am fairly sketchy on MySQL and performance. What I want to do is have a database that keeps track of large distribution lists. Each list has a unique ID, an owner (which is a reference to an ID in another table) and a creation date. My question is this: Would it be more efficient to have each entry in the list stored in this table in the database, or would I be better off having a reference to a file that is stored on the hard disk? Users must be able to view, add, modify and delete entire lists and single entries in the lists. I am using MySQL, PHP and Perl with an Apache Webserver.

I am a new MySQL user, so forgive my stupidity for asking the following question (perhaps taboo). What is the latest on NuSphere vs MySQL AB? What about Gemini. I have searched everywhere for info, but can't seem to find anything after November of last year. I have serious needs for transaction processing, but don't know which way to turn. Should I undertake using NuSphere's (supposedly stable) Gemini tables. There seems to be a lack of info on these tables now. I am trying to get a grasp on what happened to this MYSQL AB vs NuSphere deal, but all of the posts about it seem to have vanished. In addition, my first impression of Gemini was not good as I did some simulated crash test and corrupted the tables without much trouble. Perhaps it was unrelated. But it is worth further investigation. Or should I look at the InnoDB tables (which are still considered beta). Any opinions?
