LONGTEXT - All string column types are VAR? - MySQL
I know that for most purposes you can treat TEXT and BLOB as VARCHAR under a longer name, but is the same true of LONGTEXT? I have a field that needs to be open to a huge amount of text, but I don't want my database's size to be huge if that maximum allowed amount of text is not used.

MySQL Question involving AUTO INCREMENT and PRIMARY IDs. - sql
EXPLANATION: here's the pertinent piece of my sql create statement: ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, PRIMARY KEY (ID)); i have used this create statement numerous times without this problem. in the past, let's say i inserted 3 entries: A, B, and C. their IDs were 1,2, and 3. then i delete C from the database. when i then insert D its ID is 4. leaving 1,2, and 4 in the database. seems like this is safe and as it should be. all this morning, using the above example with a deviation...after i delete C and then insert D...D's ID is 3. if i delete B and C, then insert D and E...their ID's are 2 and 3. i was under the impression that once an ID had been used (in auto increment and as primary) it was gone. must i also make the ID unique? i can see why a primary key might need to be not UNIQUE (for concatenation of entries...etc), but i don't think i've done it iN the past (when it has incremented correctly). thanks ahead of time. query sql for the filter. jason wesley upton - 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?

Re: Newbie question
if i could add to this question a bit: what are the steps in adding a user that will have access to only one database? i've tried using both: GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER ON uview.* TO user@% IDENTIFIED BY password; (then did a FLUSH PRIVILEGES) and i've tried adding directly yo the users database: NSERT INTO user VALUES('localhost','USERNAME',PASSWORD('some_pass'),'SELECT','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y'); but i can't seem to get things to work. i've looked over the manual and a small tutorial. are there some steps i'm missing? thanks. jason upton 6/20/2002 4:30:47 PM, Emma Grant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am just starting out with mysql. MySQL allows anon access so I don't have to log on to the sql just the linu server. I am trying to create a test database 'test2'. I am logged on as my user 'emil' (not root) on a test linux server. When I go to create the database: mySQL CREATE DATABASE test2; It gives me the following error. Error: 1044: Access denied for user '@localhost' for database test2 I then log in as root and change my privelages: mySQL GRANT ALL ON test2.* for emil; But still I get the same error when I try to create it. In fact, I can't get on to a database even if the root creates it and then I GRANT the user 'emil' ALL to the newly created database. Can someone direct me in the right place?
