I don't know anything about mysql,
but on my system - Fedora 5 - the mysql databases
are stored in /var/lib/mysql ;
in particular the mysql database is stored in /var/lib/mysql/mysql/
where I see the files host.[frm,MYD,MYI] .

I don't know much statistics,
but I do know that that estimate would not just be inaccurate -
it would be absurdly wrong.

vCard to MySQL

2006-07-10 Thread Timothy Murphy
Is there a standard MySQL structure to represent vCards?
If so, are there programs to install vCard address lists
in a MySQL database?

I'm running Fedora-5 Linux, with KDE,
and am interested in translating the KAddressBook/kabc format
(used with kmail) to and from MySQL,
as automagically as possible.
If there is a standard KDE application that does this
I would be doubly pleased.

Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.

I'm actually running Fedora.
I did say "yum install *mysql*"
which installed everything with mysql in its name -
quite a large number of packages,
which I haven't got round to examining yet!

Rekall

2006-07-07 Thread Timothy Murphy
I've used the KDE program rekall to a small extent in the past,
in order to set up and populate MySQL tables on a remote machine.
It has recently been seg-faulting:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rekall
KBLocation::setCacheSize: set to 0MB
Segmentation fault

In any case, I didn't find it very easy to use.
I wonder if anyone can suggest an alternative -
a GUI Linux application
which allows data to be entered in an SQL table.
My preference would be for Python and KDE,
but those aren't essential.

Python program for data entry

2006-06-23 Thread Timothy Murphy
I'm looking for a simple python program which offers 
a graphical interface for entering data
into a simple MySQL table.
Is there a standard, or semi-standard, program for this?
Or can anyone offer a sample program?

If relevant, I'm running Fedora-5 with KDE.
I read of datakiosk, but couldn't find a Fedora version.

Any suggestions gratefully received.
