Re: MySQL Newbie: Running in UNIX
Hello. Try to connect as root (use -u root) or another user which has privilege to create new databases. I would like to try out MySQL on my UNIX account (Solaris). I DO NOT HAVE root privilieges in UNIX. I only have a normal user privilege. I have installed MySQL on my user UNIX account. Looks like I get the Server going and can also get the status from the Server. But, I get an error msg when I try to create a database. I have attached the unix screen dump below. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: MySQL Newbie: Running in UNIX
This did not mean that's how you should work. I had this suggestion to confirm my doubt that something in the user table of mysql is messed up This was to allow you to setup a password for root or maybe another user (who can create) and then switch back to normal mysqld startup, to enable grant privs. Thanks Aman Raheja Hossain, Ashfaq (Ashfaq) wrote: Restart mysqld with the --skip-grant-tables option .

Re: MySQL newbie installation
Yes! Yes you can! Ahem Basically, MySQL is always a network-aware database whether connections come in via Named Pipes (blame Bill for those), TCP/IP, UNIX sockets or via the funky shared memory whatsit that was brought in with MySQL 4.1.x. All that will be happening in your case is that you'll just need to tell all of your applications and things that your computer is the database server, by specifying localhost as the database server. Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I wish to learn MySQL on my Linux box [SuSE 8.1] Can I install MySQL on my hard drive and use it for learning *from* the hard drive, without having to set up a server/network? This would include MySQLCC. In other words, can I run MySQL like Access, strictly as a local database, for learning purposes? I hope I'm not blaspheming.

Does the user who you start the MySQL Server up with own the directory and the files? If the files are there you can try issuing a `show tables from todo`.

Re: MYSQL Newbie
1) Can you recommend some good online tutorials for learning the basics of MYSQL? (I can't even say I know exactly what it is; I think of it as some sort of language used to create special effects or special functions, similar to JavaScript.) If you found this list then you should have found information about MySQL. It's a database server ment for running relational databases. (short and simple explanation). You can use languages like Perl, PHP, Python and C to retrieve information. Tutorials: www.php.net --links-tutorials www.devshed.com www.mysql.com www.google.com (search) search this lists archive since it holds many many many other links. YOu will find hundreds of links if you search google. I'm not certain exactly what form this function will eventually take, but I'm just exploring ways to list vast amounts of data that are searchable, sortable or can be manipulated in other ways. If this can be done with MYSQL, can you give me an idea of how to get started? Is there a name for this function, a tutorial that describes it, or a webpage on the Internet that I can use as a model? You can do this with any language mentioned above. 3) Is a knowledge of MYSQL a great help in finding jobs and roughly how long does it take most people to acquire a working knowledge of it? With my skills, I don't expect to become a MYSQL pro any time soon, but I just wondered if even a basic knowledge might help with job searches. Depends on what a company is looking for.

RE: MYSQL Newbie
you probably want php which intergrates into mysql nicely, as mysql being the database for the content, http://www.php.net/ http://www.phpbuilder.com/ there is also some links on the php site u might want to check out http://www.php.net/links.php with mysql you prob want to master the sql queries to get the most optimised way to retrieve your data. these sites are good has alot of resources and helped me alot when i was a newbie http://www.weberdev.com/ http://www.devshed.com/ = Original Message From David Blomstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] = I'm interested in learning about MYSQL and wondered if anyone could give me a few pointers for getting started. I've designed over 1,000 webpages, based at http://www.geobop.com, but my technical skills are very basic. I've been unemployed for about eight months and have been using my time to learn new computer skills while frantically trying to get my websites revised and moved to a new Linux server. I recently graduated from Microsoft FrontPage to DreamWeaver, upgraded from Windows Millennium to XP Professional and have been studying Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript. I recently got Linux installed on my computer, though I haven't learned to use it yet. I'll be moving to a Linux ISP soon. Here are my first three questions: 1) Can you recommend some good online tutorials for learning the basics of MYSQL? (I can't even say I know exactly what it is; I think of it as some sort of language used to create special effects or special functions, similar to JavaScript.) 2) I recently learned how to create tables with sortable columns using JavaScript, as illustrated by the example at http://www.geobop.com/marini/ I envision using something like MYSQL to create even more sophisticated tables, or alternatives. For example: Suppose I created a table listing every species of bird - about 10,000 species - with a dozen columns for the common name, scientific name, habitat, etc. Obviously, a page with such a table would take forever to download. But someone told me I could use MYSQL or another language to create an alternative that would display only a few rows at a time. I'm not certain exactly what form this function will eventually take, but I'm just exploring ways to list vast amounts of data that are searchable, sortable or can be manipulated in other ways. If this can be done with MYSQL, can you give me an idea of how to get started?

Do as the readme says - unpack the distribution and follow instructions. Standard location for mysql distribution is /usr/local/mysql from which you should make symlinks to /usr/loca/bin etc. You can put your data files pretty much everywhere but be very careful about permissions (some directories should be wriable by root only, some has to be writable by mysql user - read error nessages if in doubt and pay attention to security issues). Test your setup by starting the daemon manually specifying installation directory, data directory and user (-u mysql). Then put a service file in /etc/init.d and make symlinks to appropriate /etc/rc.d directories. how do I login once I get it up and going, or change passwords, or do basic admin work?

Re: mysql newbie
* Mylin Campos I'm a newbie with mysql. I have a few question and would really appreciate it if you can help me. I'm creating a database for a payroll system. I actually finish with my entity relationship diagram. What should be the next step? I know I should create the database already but while reading the mysql documentation I've been encountering so many questions that I'm getting all confused on where to start. First, where does the priviledges come in? Specifically the alter, drop, select, insert (etc) priviledges come in? This depends on the requirements of the system you are making. If the system will have users with different roles, you can create different users in mysql with different privileges. I normally use only one mysql user, with all privileges, and then create a separate user subsystem within my application. All 'users' are accessing the database with the same priveleged mysql user account, and it is up to my application to differentiate between the individual users of the system. This is all fine when the mysql database is hidden behind an application, but if you need to give users direct access to the database (using the mysql client or phpadmin or similar), the lack of security might be a problem. If you need security on the database level, use the privilege system and create separate users for all the database user roles you can define, and then GRANT privileges to each role for each column in each table. If you can handle security on the application level, use a single privileged mysql user. (This is not The Only Way, it's just how I do it. YMMV.) Or does this concern the database administrator which is not my concern since I'm only the software developer. It depends. You should consult with your DBA. Should I create the tables and then what next? yes. It's easy to change them later, if you change your mind about something. Mysql does not a have a feature like access where you link one key to another by dragging one field to another. does this mean that linking the tables in mysql is done manually via the sql statements? That is correct, no special definition is needed. Thanks for the advice.

Re: mysql newbie
Hello, sorry for a late answer, but here it comes. On Tue, 27 Aug 2002, Mylin Campos wrote: I'm a newbie with mysql. I have a few question and would really appreciate it if you can help me.

I know I should create the database already but while reading the mysql documentation I've been encountering so many questions that I'm getting all confused on where to start. Right, if you have the root account or any other account that has enough privileges, the right way to start is to create your own database. For now stick with the default settings for that, they are OK. First, where does the priviledges come in? Specifically the alter, drop, select, insert (etc) priviledges come in? Or does this concern the database administrator which is not my concern since I'm only the software developer. Every time you run a query on MySQL it checks whether you have enough permissions to do so or not. If not, it returns an error. If you are the owner of your database (I suppose you are), you have all rights to that database, including ALTER, DROP, CREATE and so on. As the owner you also have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE at your disposal, along with others. If you read the manual beginner's section very carefully, I think you will grasp the permissions topic fairly well. It's important to remember that users are defined using username/hostname pairs. That is, for example, you can have different privileges, depending on whether you login from your work computer or your home computer, as they have different IP addresses and host names. Should I create the tables and then what next? Yep, create tables. Then insert/dump your data into them. Or do anything that suits your needs. :-) Mysql does not a have a feature like access where you link one key to another by dragging one field to another. does this mean that linking the tables in mysql is done manually via the sql statements? That's because MySQL is just a database backend, Access has the Jet engine that it uses as a separate DLL, MySQL clients are available but their current functionality is a bit limited in some cases. MySQLFront is a good one to start with. You can use Access, too, to use MySQL but all its graphical features won't work, though. phpMyAdmin is fairly efficient, but it requires you to have a web server running PHP. For most of your daily work you can use any graphical frontend you want to, but for the more advanced (mostly administrative) tasks you will want to learn enough pure SQL to accomplish those tasks more effectively. A URL for graphical MySQL frontends: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/gui-clients.html MyCC is pretty OK, but its development is still underway. Hope this helps, feel free to ask further questions as needed.

I'm trying to move to MySQL in order to have a better DB. I can define the database and the table manually that's not a problem, My problem is how can I export the 2000+ records from the Access DB to MySQL DB. does an export file from access do the job??? I read a little bit about myODBC, does myODBC help me in this situation, does it help me export all the records to the new database??? Yes. You can make use of MyODBC to export tables and/or associted data from MS Access to MySQL. Here is the snippet from new MyODBC manual on how to export data from MS Access to MySQL. Q. Export a table or query to MySQL using MyODBC data source Note: You can only export a table or query to MySQL server, if you have installed the latest MyODBC driver 2.50.38 or grater, else you will experince problems with text and varchar data types. 1. In the Database window (The window that appears when you open an Access database or an Access project. It displays shortcuts for creating new database objects and opening existing objects.), click the name of the table or query you want to export, and then on the File menu, click Export. 2. In the Export Object Type 'Object name' To dialog box, in the Save As Type box, click ODBC Databases (). 3. In the Export dialog box, enter a name for the file (or use the suggested name), and then click OK. The Select Data Source dialog box is displayed; it lists the defined data sources for any ODBC drivers installed on your computer. 4.

Re: MySQL Newbie install question
TCPwrappers has nothing to do with mysql. Mysqld manages the port itself. You do not want tcpwrappers grabbing the port. Check the path to mysql.sock. It must be world searchable and readable for the client to write to the socket. Read the section of the manual on GRANT privileges. You are not root. Unless you specify -u root, you can't do anything. There are no users that can access the server until you set them up.

When I try to contact the mysql server i get the following error: [someone@somemachine ~]$ mysqladmin ping mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock exists. My syslog doesnt log anything from MySql. Port 3306 is free and the DB answers when I telnet to the port but reports the error below: IHost 'somehost.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL serverConnection closed by foreign host. I am using tcpwrappers but local host (and somehost.com) has been added to hosts.allow. Any and all ideas as to what I am doing wrong or missing greatly appreciated!
