mysql solaris binaries
hi, i've downloaded and unpacked both the 3.2.3 and 4.0.4 binaries for solaris. neither create a var directory, so i create the var directory myself and give mysql ownership of it. yet when i run mysqld it still won't write the pid file. what gives? tia, j - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

The best I know are MySQL-Front and SQLyog but since MySQL-Front has been discontinued you can try SQLyog at http://www.webyog.com/sqlyog Insane - Original Message - From: Adam Parker [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 3:11 AM Subject: MySQL as a desktop DB I currently use MS Access as a single-user desktop database. The database is getting quite large. The largest table has 300,000 rows. I am considering upgrading the database. How suitable is MySQL as a single-user desktop database? How does it compare to Access when it is used like this? Obviously MySQL would have advantages if I intended to use it as a server database with concurrent users. But is it faster than Access in the single-user environment, when dealing with large databases?

count query across two tables
hello all, i'm new to the list (and to mysql, for that matter) and am looking for some help with what should be a fairly simple query. what i'm doing is writing a very simple bulletin board with jsp using two tables in mysql. the first table contains the title and body of the topic and the second contains the replies, which are cross-indexed by the topic id. simple enough, but here they are... +-++--+---+ | TopicID | title | username | body | +-++--+---+ | 1 | new topic | kilgore | body text | | 2 | big topic at hand | kilgore | more | | 3 | you'll never guess who i saw today | kilgore | david | | 4 | silliest topic ever| bob | etc...| | 5 | this is another topic | kilgore | ... | | 6 | look! my first topic! | jeff | ... | | 7 | yet another test topic | kilgore | ... | | 8 | NO MORE| kilgore | ... | | 9 | oh hello | kilgore | ... | | 10 | never mind the testing | kilgore | ... | | 11 | eh?| kilgore | ... | | 12 | TITLE | kilgore | ... | +-++--+---+ +-+-+-+-+ | ReplyID | TopicID | body| user| +-+-+-+-+ | 4 | 4 | anyone? | bob | | 11 | 5 | what| kilgore | | 10 | 2 | who?| kilgore | | 8 | 4 | another reply | kilgore | | 9 | 3 | oh my | kilgore | | 12 | 5 | what| kilgore | | 13 | 5 | again | bob | | 14 | 3 | yessir | bob | | 15 | 6 | oi | jeff| | 16 | 6 | oi | jeff| | 17 | 6 | oi | jeff| | 18 | 6 | oi | jeff| | 19 | 6 | thing | kilgore | | 20 | 6 | thing | kilgore | | 21 | 6 | thing | kilgore | | 22 | 4 | BLING | tommy | | 23 | 10 | hello | kilgore | | 24 | 12 | reply | kilgore | +-+-+-+-+ so here's my problem: on the page which displays the topic titles, i wish to display all of the topics along with the number of replies specific to that topic. here is my query: SELECT *, COUNT(TalkReplies.TopicID) as Comments FROM TalkTopics, TalkReplies WHERE TalkTopics.TopicID = TalkReplies.TopicID GROUP BY TalkTopics.TopicID DESC this gets me almost there BUT it excludes any topics from the list which have no replies (so i only get a list of 7 topics here instead of 12). this has been plaguing me for days and i can't seem to get my head around how i should rephrase the query. any insight would be *greatly* appreciated. thanks, -j - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
