Uh, you both have to be kidding comparing MySQL with Youtube and
Facebook, right?
I'm not saying the $1 billion for MySQL was the right price, I believe
it was a bargain for Sun but you are comparing apples and
oranges.

Go out on the street and ask people if they ever heard of these three.
I bet you a few people will know MySQL, a lot will know Facebook and
everybody will know Youtube.

Youtube and Facebook are websites, visited by millions of people every
day. That's what makes it it's value, future and present
advertisements.

YouTube was even used by CNN for the Republican and Democratic debates.

Did you ever hear of MySQL on TV, anywhere?

condense mulitple tables....

2004-02-04 Thread MySQL List
I am using 3 different systems...

Each have a registration system...
I believe they all use md5 to encrypt the password.
Is it possible to just put as the value of the password record something like this:

dbname.dbtablename

So that it will be that value, instead of one that is inserted into the database?

Then I can have them all use the same usernames and password for all the systems,
instead of having 3 different ones? One is Perl, two are PHP.

Thank you.

Show Master Status php

2004-01-08 Thread mysql-list
I am having a heck of a time ...

I would like to use php to do a SHOW MASTER STATUS and print the output
but for the life of me can't figure it out.

I can get it to SHOW DATABASES and SHOW TABLES in a database but now
SHOW MASTER STATUS or SHOW SLAVE STATUS.

Well I do not have the luxury. Money is already spent. Well there is no

This whole system will only act for readonly purpose. There will be not

Only for read with lots of filtering. Sorting is not a priority. Only 
for retreiving data with multiple conditions.
some of the fields are indexed. some of them are not. but those will 
also be used in the where condition.

Reason by example:
Sun T3 with 7 drives. I'm IO bound with a read heavy 2 Gb where most of

Re: Just a doubt.....

2003-05-28 Thread Leander (mySQL-list)
Hi,
I made a table with a primary key,and all
the columns i declared char got converted into
varchar.
plz someone throw a light on it as i had seen somewhere
that using primary key increase search speed and using varchars
decrease so im in confusion. :(
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Silent_column_changes.html:

6.5.3.1 Silent Column Specification Changes

In some cases, MySQL silently changes a column specification from that given in a CREATE TABLE statement. (This may also occur with ALTER TABLE.): VARCHAR columns with a length less than four are changed to CHAR. If any column in a table has a variable length, the entire row is variable-length as a result. Therefore, if a table contains any variable-length columns (VARCHAR, TEXT, or BLOB), all CHAR columns longer than three characters are changed to VARCHAR columns. This doesn't affect how you use the columns in any way; in MySQL, VARCHAR is just a different way to store characters. MySQL performs this conversion because it saves space and makes table operations faster. See section 7 MySQL Table Types.

Insert using placeholders....

2003-04-05 Thread MySQL List
I'm using placeholders like this: (using Perl)

   $stmt .= , if $stmt;
   $stmt .= $f-{t_name} .  = ?;
   my $temp_value_holder = $f-{value};
   $temp_value_holder =~ s/\,/\;/g;
   push (@placeholder, $temp_value_holder);

The reason I'm using a temp value then switching the commas with ; is because the 
syntax for the placeholders
is using commas. the strings might contain commas, which throws the whole thing off.

Is there a way to LEAVE the commas? Does MySQL recognize escapes if I where to switch 
the commas with
an Escaped comma? or is there another way to do it?

Thanks,
Richard

How should I... [store data for later]

2003-03-31 Thread MySQL List
I am making my own shopping cart, and I'm trying to figure out, how to store previous 
orders, so
they can view them later. If they have multiple products(tangible to be shipped), and 
they have the
possibility of having colors, sizes, and or styles, each of them their own attribute, 
plus qty, and price,
should I store that in ONE column, maybe like this:

$column_data_to_insert = $item . '|' . $qty . '|' . $color . '|' . $size . '|' . 
$style . '|' . $extended_price . \n;

then insert $column_data_to_insert into the database, in the one column.
then when they look at their previous orders, have it take that column and parse it 
with
a split statement:
($item,$qty,$color,$size,$style,$total_price) = split /\|/, 
$column_data_to_insert, 6;

Something like that, or is there a standard way, or even better, a easier, faster and 
better way?

Thanks,
Richard.


Help With Default Value

2003-03-30 Thread MySQL List
I am trying to do one of two things.

First I'd rather do this, but if not possible, then the other way that
I'll describe will suffice.

1) I need to have a default value of a column named invoice_id be this:
Column names of importance:
idinvoice_id

id is auto_increment and BIGINT unsigned.
invoice_id needs to be gc+ id

How can I have invoice_id have that as default? in other words if it's inserting data 
into that table, and
it's the first record, then id would = 1. So I need invoice_id to be
gc1

Is that possible?

2) If 1 is not possible, then how can I get the value of id of the one I just 
inserted? Is it possible to get that at the same
time as I insert it, so I can then UPDATE that invoice_id with the correct data?

If I need to clarify this, please by all means do let me know.

Thank you, kindly,
Richard

[ADMIN] Mailing lists back in service.

2003-03-22 Thread MySQL List Administrator
Hello again, MySQL list subscriber!

We have completed the first phase of maintenance on the mailing lists,
and mail should now start flowing on the lists again.

Along with upgrading the hardware serving the lists, we have put in
place new systems to help combat spam. One part of this system
requires that non-subscribers to the mailing list confirm that they
are a real person before their message is let through to the list.
(And depending on how your local systems are configured, even some
subscribers may be required to go through this one-time confirmation.)

We will be keeping a close eye on things to make sure no real emails
get dropped by the new systems, but please bear with us in the event
that a few pieces of spam email slip through in the meantime.

The mailing list archives at http://lists.mysql.com/ have also
received the first phase of a facelift, and we will be rolling out
additional improvements there in the weeks to come.

If you encounter any difficulties with the lists, please don't
hesitate to drop us a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Again, we're sorry about the interruption and inconvenience, and
thanks in advance for your patience as we work the kinks out of the
new systems!

Locating Duplicate records always results in Error 127

2003-03-17 Thread mySQL list
I am locating 'duplicate entries in a table and updating a status field
accordingly. The idea is to locate rows which have a matching 'Name' field,
and mark them for subsequent processing. However, my update query *ALWAYS*
returns Error 127, even on a newly created table if the matching name field
is 8 characters or more???.

Below is a minimum script which always results in the error Got error 127
from table handler, with only two records in the table. Change the name
fields from  (8 chars) to AAA (7 chars) and no error.

I would appreciate any help in tracking this down, or a suggestion for
another way of detecting duplicate records which doesn't cause the problem.

MySQL on large server

2003-01-09 Thread mysql list
Hi,

I was wondering if anybody has built MySQL 3.23 from source that can handle 
a high number of connections  threads. I've have tried MySQL binaries in 
the past (not RPMs), but these have had stability/load problems. When 
building from source I don't have those issues, but I am limited by the 
inbuilt limits (of glibc,etc...)

I read that glibc needs to be modified and file descriptor limits need to be 
increased, but I have been unsuccessful in finding some definitive 
documentation to achieve this.

I need to build MySQL 3.23 on a production server running RedHat 7.2, 
patched glibc  (2.2.5-42) and a custom kernel (2.4.19-2 SMP). Hardware 
contains Dual Xeon 2.4GHz (hyperthreading disabled) and 6GB RAM.

My understanding is that MySQL can handle is 500 connections (recommended 
setting) by default. This is something I would need to increase as well as 
the ability to handle more threads.

I would appreciate any help whatsoever.

Many thanks

Is it possible for mySQL to recognize and compare dates written in this

I know standard date format for mySQL is YYY-MM-DD, but I need to be
able to support this other format if possible. For example, I have a
string of 01/30/02 and I just need to compare it to another value
already in the dB, being held as a varchar with a value of 02/28/02.
I need to compare these to determine if one date preceeds the other.

Any way of doing this with the resources mySQL already has built in -
without having to convert the format of the date values?

Thanks.

FULLTEXT search against a query result

2002-11-28 Thread Jay \(MySQL List\)
Okay, here we go ...

I would like to do a FULLTEXT search against a query result.  There are
multiple columns that have a FULLTEXT index.  Hopefully I break this
down in a manner that can be understood.

The fields of interest:

Table events:
 event_id [int(11)]
 event [varchar(255)]
 description [text]
 FULLTEXT (event, description)

Table event_times:
 event_id [int(11)]  from events.event_id
 start_date [date]
 place [varchar(255)]
 FULLTEXT (place)

I would like to search the fields events.event, events.description, and
event_times.place.  So hypothetically it would look something like
MATCH(events.event, events.description, event_times.place)
AGAINST('keywords').  

The results I need to use for the search is produced from the query:
SELECT events.category_id, events.event_id, events.event,
events.description, event_times.start_date, chc_event_times.place
FROM events INNER JOIN event_times ON events.event_id =
event_times.event_id
GROUP BY events.event_id

If this makes no sense to you or if you need more information, please
let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Replication Relay Fails.

2002-11-21 Thread MySQL List - Echo

We are trying to setup the following MySQL replication

MSSQL Server - Push replication to Server 1
Server 1  - (Receives push replication from MSSQL and is Master MySQL for
Server 2)
Server 2  - (Slave to Server 1, Master for Server 3)
Server 3  - (Slave to Server 2)


Okay to make a long story short we have a MSSQL server required by our
accounting package. We use a push replication on the MSSQL server to
replicate the data from MSSQL to a local MySQL database in a remote office
(accounting office).  The information in that database needs to be
replicated over a relatively slow WAN link to a series of MySQL slaves.  In
order to save bandwidth we set-up a single MySQL server that will slave from
the remote MySQL in our accounting office and redistribute the database to
our other MySQL servers.

The first MySQL server is in the remote accounting office.  All updates and
changes from the accounting department are made to that database server
through a push replication from MSSQL. This part works fine.

In another office we have a single MySQL server (Server 2) that is a slave
to Server 1.

We then have 4 MySQL servers which slave from Server 2.  Since these are all
identical read only slaves I'll refer to them collectively as Server 3
(they all experience the same behavior)


The problem we are having is that Server 2 does not make the data it
replicates from Server 1 available for replication to Server 3

Example

We make data change to MSSQL
MSSQL replicates the change to Server 1
Server 1 updates its master status to indicate new data
Server 2 pulls the changes from Server 1 and updates its slave status to
show its in sync with Server 1
Server 2 does NOT update its master status to indicate that anything has
changed in its database
Server 3's slave index still matches with server 2's master index so server
3 does not replicate the changes that server 2 received through replication.


What seems to be strange is if we update server 2 directly with a change
(make any update that does NOT come from replication) it will update its
master status and Server 3 will replicate that change.

It appears that MySQL does not treat replicated data as changed data when it
comes to the master status and bin-log.

We are using MySQL 4.0.4 as we require transaction support to do the push
replication from MSSQL.

Does anyone have an idea on how we can force server 2 to add the data it
receives to its bin-log and update its master status so that it will be
replicated down to server 3.

Thanks in advance

Kelvin Hockin

Rand slowness.

2002-06-27 Thread MySQL List

Hi,
Is there a quicker way to get a selection of random rows than RAND()?
I basically use:

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3;

But I find that as the # of rows increases in table, it keeps taking longer
and longer to get a result back. And I am talking a large increase,
basically 50 rows took about 1 second, 700 rows now takes almost a minute.

I am not sure why the # of rows would affect RAND.

I am using the latest version of Mysql and php4 to get the rows.

A LEFT OUTER JOIN question.

2002-06-16 Thread mySQL list

I have two tables, 'items' and 'stuff'.

Items has a primary key of itemid. and looksmlike this

ItemID  other fields...

1   ...
2
3
4
5
6

Stuff contains something like this:

ItemID  type  info
1   0blah blah
2   0something
2   1...
3   1...

I want a query which returns all the items, and if it exists, the info field
from related 'stuff' of type 0.

So far I've got:

SELECT Items.ItemID, Stuff.info FROM Items LEFT OUT JOIN Stuff ON
Items.ItemID = Stuff.ItemID WHERE (type = 0 OR type = NULL);

This works if there are no Stuff records with a type other than 0, eg, the
last one in the example. The Query returns items 1,2,4,5,  6, no 3.

How can I make a query which returns all items and type 0's info (if it
exists)?

MyODBC DSN Configuration Dialog Hidden

2002-06-07 Thread mySQL list

Hi,

I have a vb application which connects to mysql via ado/myodbc 3.51.03. In
it, users can choose to connect to databases on different machines. I
construct a connection string from the hostname, database etc. So far so
good.

The problem I have only occurs (as far as I can tell) on Windows XP, not
Windows 2000: If I try and connect to a host where mysql is not running, the
driver (or at least I assume its the driver), pops up an error message box,
saying [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL server on 'hostname'
(10061), then after clicking ok, the DSN Configuration Dialog is opened, but
hidden behind the application window. In contrast, on Windows 2000, no error
message box or dsn dialog appears at all (which I prefer).

I can't find any difference between the two machines except that the 2000
machine also has myodbc 2.5 installed, but not used.

ANY help appreciated!

RE: MyODBC DSN Configuration Dialog Hidden

2002-06-07 Thread mySQL list

Hi Venu,

 
  The problem I have only occurs (as far as I can tell) on
  Windows XP, not
  Windows 2000: If I try and connect to a host where mysql is
  not running, the
  driver pops up an  error message box,
  saying [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver] Can't connect to MySQL
  server on 'hostname'
  (10061), then after clicking ok, the DSN Configuration Dialog
  is opened, but
  hidden behind the application window. In contrast, on Windows
  2000, no error
  message box or dsn dialog appears at all (which I prefer).

  You can disable the re-connect prompt in ado by using
  DriverNoPrompt option from your conn.open method.

I can't find any option to use DriverNoPrompt in ADO, only DAO, unless you
mean in the OPTION= part of the connection string. Originally I had
OPTION=35, I've tried OPTION=51 (adding 16 which should disable any
prompts), but its just the same.


  You can also disable the prompt during the failed connection
  from the DSN using the option 'Don't prompt on connect'.

  And as far as hidden dialog, am not sure how does that come
  in to picture as we use XP and 2000 for all internal
  testing. Can you cross check whether the dialog is really
  active by using 'alt-tab' ?

Yes it is there - alt-tab brings it to the front (and the Don't prompt on
connect checkbox is set when I use OPTION=51).

UPDATE-ing a table with keys to a related table?

2002-05-18 Thread mySQL list

Hi, hope somebody can help me - what I want to do is simple I'm sure, but I
can't work out how to do it: I want to replace a column in a table,
containing text, with a key to another new table which holds the text.

Example:

Given a table, 'people', which contains two columns, name, and town, like
this:

name  town
----
fred  london
joliverpool
amy   chicago
mary  chicago

I create a new table, towns:

townidtown
--
1 london
2 liverpool
3 chicago

So far good. Now I want to add a townid column to 'people', and update to
point to the corresponding row in 'towns'. I add a new column, townid, but
then how do I update the values?? I have tried both of these:

UPDATE people SET people.townid = towns.townid WHERE people.town=towns.town;

and

UPDATE people INNER JOIN towns ON people.town = towns.town SET people.townid
= towns.townid;

mysql gives syntax errors in both cases (both work ok with access 2000).

Is there a way to do this without creating temporary intermediate tables?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Re: User issues in installation. New beginner

2001-12-05 Thread Mysql List

In General Terms:

Most default linux installs do not allow root user to telnet in to the
machine, this is good as a default.
You need to add the user that you do logon as to the MySQL permissions. This
can be found in the manual.
To access your MySQL db from Access, all you need to do is install the
MySQLODBC driver and setup an ODBC source to point the your server. You
should enter another User to MySQL for this, and allow only that user from a
specific IP address(the machine access is on).
You do not need Samba for this.

 Hey people,

 I've just set-up mysql on a redhat version6.1 of linux.  I am new to both.
 If i log into the machine as root I can run mysql.
 If I log into the machine as a normal user I can't run mysql.
 Is it a case of permissions in linux?

 I need to be able to run mysql through a telnet window on a win98 machine.
 I have managed to telnet between the two but only as a normal user not as
 root. Should this be the case? Should I be able to telnet as root.

 I eventually want MS Access to call the databases on MySQL via ODBC
 (MyODBC)what configurations will I need to do to the two machines for this
 to possible?  Do I need SAMBA installed? if so how? and why exactly?

 Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 Regards,

 Faizal.

How many OR, AND in a query?

2001-09-26 Thread Mysql List

Hi,
How many OR or AND can I put in a select query statement?
ex:
 WHERE mycolumn = 1 OR mycolumn = 3 OR mycolumn = 23   etc . . . 

A thousand? How would that affect the database execution time?

Re: How many OR, AND in a query?

2001-09-26 Thread Mysql List

in() is usefull for OR ing, but is there a way to do this AND ing?



 You might want to try:

 WHERE mycolumn in (1, 3, 23, ...)

 Or even better, put your thousand records into a temporary table and then
just do a join.

Question

2001-09-07 Thread Mysql List

Hi,
Why is mysql(ver 3.23.41) complaining about this:

CREATE TABLE mytable(ID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000,PRIMARY KEY (ID),

I know it is not the entire statement, but mysql does not like the
AUTO_INCREMENT = 1000 part, how do I do that so it is acceptable?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Question

2001-09-07 Thread Mysql List

That didn't work either.
The documentation seems to show that you have to use  = 1000, but I can't
get it to work.

 Try putting it like this ::

 AUTO_INCREMENT(1000), .

 Not sure but that should work

Thanks,

I already tried that, and I am only trying to insert about a dozen fields.

Thanks for the response, I will wait and see if anyone else has an idea.

Chris

 this (again, probably wont work)

 Auto_Increment=1000, .

Query Question

2001-07-23 Thread Mysql List

Hi,
Can any of you query experts tell me if this is possible in a query?
I have 3 tables, categories, products, groups.
Groups table consists of categoryid and productid, it just keeps track of which 
categories have which products.

I need a query(if possible) that would basically say:

Select all products that do not have an entry in groups with the corresponding 
categoryid of 1000 (example id)

Basically, I bring up the category on a page, with all of the products that are 
grouped with it, and I want to select all the other products that are not already 
there.

CategoryProductsGroups
---
IDIDCID |PID
---
10001   10001
   2   10002
   3   
 
   4

Query would return products 3  4 because 1  2 are already grouped with Category 1000

 

Make sense?

Chris

but gets the no permission error
You don't have permission to access

Where to get a list of explanations for Errcodes?

2001-06-02 Thread mysql list

When I attempt to get into this database this error
comes up, but other databases work ok. I cannot find a
reference to 'Errcode: 13' or any 'Errorcode' in the
manual or mailing list archives.

mysql use vhosts;
Can't read dir of './vhosts/' (Errcode: 13)

There is instruction on how to perform repair for
specific tables but not for an entire database. Where
should I start? once I start I could likely find the
next step.
Thanks for the help.

How to start mysql server as user mysql

2001-06-02 Thread mysql list

In my UNIX (FreeBSD) system the database directories
shows up as below.
drwx--  2 mysql  mysql512 May 11 11:51 mysql
drwx--  2 mysql  mysql512 May 11 22:40 test

I guess this means I should only start mysql server by
being the user mysql. But how can I become the user
mysql?
The user/group mysql was created automatically during
install and mysql is actually a system process, thus
it has no password, the password database shows this
listing for the user mysql.

mysql:*:88:88::0:0:MySQL
Daemon:/var/db/mysql:/sbin/nologin
