(2) What normal form is violated here?
A telephone call is uniquely identified by telephone number and time of 
call. These* candidate keys compose the primary key. There is an 
attribute/column “telephone location”.

telephone number|time of call | telephone location(precise)

date and not null

2003-12-21 Thread landon kelsey
why did this date work:

insert into log_book values ('08-12-1973','C150','N5787G',1,1.8);

date looks good in table...has been rearranged to std format

and this didn't

insert into salesreps values (109,'Mary Jones',31,11,'Sales 
Rep','10-12-1989',106,30.00,392725.00);

date is -00-00 in table

create table log_book (fdate date, actype varchar2(16), acid varchar(16), 
nlandings number, nhours number);

create table salesreps
(empl_num int(8) not null,
 name varchar(15) not null,
 age int(8),
 rep_office int(8),
 title varchar(10),
 hire_date date not null,
 manager int(8),
 quota float(10,2),
 sales float(10,2) not null,
 primary key (empl_num ));
must be the not null!!!

mysql desc log_book;

Oracle date

2003-12-20 Thread landon kelsey
sql from Oracle

insert into log_book values 
(TO_DATE('08/12/1973','MM/dd/'),'C150','N5787G',1,1.8);

would like

insert into log_book values 
(STR_TO_DATE('08-12-1973','%m-%d-%Y'),'C150','N5787G',1,1.8);

according to the manual, STR_TO_DATE is not until 4.0...I have 3.23.52

hate to write a program to change the format on 500 insert statements

any suggestions

trying to sell a VP on using mysql under Redhat...no problem under Redhat 7.3

2003-12-19 Thread landon kelsey
(1) performed a standard install of Redhat Linux 9 months ago...now
   (I found mysql 3.23.52 installed)
  Under root,  I executed mysql_install_db successfully:
showing:
   installing all prepared tables
   031219  0:44:16  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
   To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy 
support-files/mysql.server
   to the right place for your system

   PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
   This is done with:
   /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root  password 'new-password'
   /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h landon  password 'new-password'
   See the manual for more instructions.
   NOTE:  If you are upgrading from a MySQL = 3.22.10 you should run
   the /usr/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
   able to use the new GRANT command!
   You can start the MySQL daemon with:
   cd /usr ; /usr/bin/safe_mysqld 
   You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench'
   directory:
   cd sql-bench ; run-all-tests
   Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

can't start the server

2003-12-19 Thread landon kelsey
I run safe_mysqld out of /usr with ./bin/safe_mysqld 

/var/log/mysqld.log

868 031219 20:52:52  mysqld started
   869 Cannot initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set.
   870 If you do not want to use transactional InnoDB tables, add a line
   871 skip-innodb
   872 to the [mysqld] section of init parameters in your my.cnf
   873 or my.ini. If you want to use InnoDB tables, add to the [mysqld]
   874 section, for example,
   875 innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
   876 But to get good performance you should adjust for your hardware
   877 the InnoDB startup options listed in section 2 at
   878 http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html
   879 031219 20:52:52  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:

I've even tried moving host.frm around.

The manual says that mysql_install_db may not have run or to try

./bin/safe_mysqld  

I've tried all combinations of the above.

ps -ef | grep -i sql  shows nothing so the server is NOT running
