RE: Rookie question
OR would not show dups. WHERE duespaid AND cat1 OR cat2 means WHERE (duespaid AND cat1) OR cat2 That is probably not what you wanted -- add parens like WHERE duespaid AND (cat1 OR cat2 ...) But... That is not a good way to build a schema. What will happen when you add category9? Plan A: Have another table that says which categories a user has. There would be 0-8 rows in this new table for each category. SELECT d.* FROM directory d JOIN categories c ON d.userid = c.userid WHERE c.category IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8); Plan B: Use a SET as a single column for all the categories. Then AND (categories x'ff') != x'00' would check that at least one bit is on in the bottom 8 bits of that SET. (TINYINT UNSIGNED would work identically. Change to SMALLINT UNSIGNED for 9-16 categories; etc.) There is probably a Plan C. -Original Message- From: Gary Smith [mailto:li...@l33t-d00d.co.uk] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 10:43 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: Rookie question On 29/04/2013 18:29, Patrice Olivier-Wilson wrote: Hi all: I have a membership directory where folks can belong to more than one category.

MySQL Rookie having trouble with query containing several outer j oins
I'm new to MySQL and have tried many attempts myself and looked all over for this answer to no avail. How do I write MySQL joins to accomodate the Oracle equivalent listed belowany help would be appreciated. From iteration, story, person tracker, person customer, person developer, task, time_entry Where iteration.id=story.iteration_id and story.tracker_id=tracker.id(+) and story.id=task.story_id(+) and story.customer_id=customer.id(+) and task.acceptor_id=developer.id(+) and task.id=time_entry.task_id(+) I've got this so far, but it seems to be returning a cartesian product between iteration and story SELECT task.name, developer.name, time_entry.start_time, story.name, customer.name, tracker.name, iteration.name FROM ( ( (story left outer join (task left outer join time_entry on task.id=time_entry.task_id left outer join person as developer on task.acceptor_id=developer.id ) on story.id=task.story_id ) left outer join person as customer on story.customer_id=customer.id ) left outer join person as tracker on story.tracker_id=tracker.id ) join iteration on story.iteration_id=iteration.id

Had to move task before developer, the tables are read in the order you provide when using left joins.

Rookie admin needs install help
This is probably a silly question, but I'm a new administrator and could use some help. I'm running a Slackware Linux 2.2.16 and am having difficulty installing MySQL 3.23.38. I have downloaded the following rpm files from www.mysql.com: MySQL-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm MySQL-client-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm Then I used rpm2tgz to convert them to .tgz files, and finally ran installpkg on each of them to do the install. The problem comes when I try to start the MySQL server with safe_mysqld. My machine is named 'patrick'. The command returns: touch: /var/lib/mysql/patrick.err: No such file or directory chown: mysql: invalid user Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: /var/lib/mysql/patrick.err: No such file or directory /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: /var/lib/mysql/patrick.err: No such file or directory tee: /var/lib/mysql/patrick.err: No such file or directory 010606 11:30:08 mysqld ended tee: /var/lib/mysql/patrick.err: No such file or directory I have looked, and there doesn't seem to be a /var/lib/mysql directory.

Rookie...
Hi, I'm a total newbie to MySQL. I am creating an application in Java/JSP/Oracle. However, my client wants to move to MySQL because of the low costs, and I have no idea about MySQL. I just downloaded the API from MySQL.com I now need to know the following things : 1. Is there a graphical utility (like SQL Plus for oracle) that I can use to manage the database ? 2. I saw something about a MySQL GUI on the site. But it was full of classes and stuff. How do I install/use them? 3. I saw a tcFM JDBC driver on the web. Is that the best ? Are there any known bugs ? 4. What are the potential problems that could arise with using MySQL in the long run ? How easy is it to maintain from the backend ? Do I have to necessarily write 'raw code' like CREATE. to create a table ? I would really really appreciate any kind of information and/or insight into any of the stuff above, or even just URL's to good resources on the web. I've been searching the web, and the resources I've been seeing are pretty vague and are not answering my questions. I feel like the way I felt 5 years back when facing the web for the first time - totally LOST!!
