Hi all What command do I use to strip an sql table column of everything but numbers?

problem loading text files into table
Hi all: Got a problem/question. I am trying to load a tab delimited textfile into my table and it keeps saying file not found. I am confident I am doing everything correct (the pathname, text extension, syntax, etc.) But it keeps saying file not found (error 1105 and errcode:2). What could I be doing wrong?

phpmyadmin screw up
Hi all: I was trying to use phpmyadmin for the first time and messed up when trying to give the [EMAIL PROTECTED] a password. I did that because phpmyadmin told me something about lax security using "root" with no password. Anyhow something went wrong. Now I can't do anything with phpadmin or mysql client. The message is - "Error 1045: Access Denied for User: (Using Password:No). Grateful for anyone's help. Thanks __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

newbie question on data accumulation
Hi all Curious as to what happens after data is repeatedly selected from a mysql table overtime. Does it accumulate as junk data, stored at some location and eventually slow down the database/program/server? Does any purging have to take place? Thanks J __ Do you Yahoo!?

max_user_connections clarification
Hi all: Need some clarification on this because the books and articles don't make it clear. Let's say I have a program in php or whatever language that contains the username and password for access to mysql and the program executes once anyone visits the site. Can multiple visitors to my site make connections and access the database through that username and password which is in the program code. Is that what max_user_connections is about, connecting using the same username and password? Secondly for the purpose of SAFE public viewing could I have in my settings blanks for username and password,etc. user name: '' password: '' hostname: localhost and then invoke a GRANT SELECT option? Would that be safe? Thanks for your patience. J __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

question about column names
Hi all: How does one get away with creating a column name that is more than one word -let's say a column named John Smith? I know John_Smith is an option but I'd like two separate words.

strings of variables, php, mysql
Would appreciate in anyone can help me. Let's say I do a query in php, eg. $query = "select shed from structure"; With the mysql_fetch_array function and a loop I could see all the values stored in the column, shed, using the command: echo $shed; Let's say now that I am carrying over a variable from a form called $form where $form = shed. I can still say $query = "select $form from structure"; because $form = shed. The problem I have now is with the strings and how do I see my column values. Using echo $$value; or echo $($value) or echo \$$value or echo $"$value" does not give me the values stored in the column shed. Help anyone? thanks __ Do you Yahoo!?
