Re: Safe Database Problem
Oh Jeeze- why didn't I think of removing this. When I upgraded the default is to have these two as 'Y', however, for some reason, that means that show databases shows all databases despite no permissions. That doesn't seem logical on one hand (if they don't have permissions to the database nor its tables, how could they create/lock on its tables), but on the other (they need to be able to see the databases to do a tmp table and a lock). In any case, problem fixed. I'm going to add a note to the docs to save people my troubles.

Re: Show database problem
Stefan, Indeed, and my mistake (semantics). I meant what you explained. It is clear to me that the order in the table remains in the manner the data were entered, and that cannot be changed, unless a record is deleted and then re-entered, which would place it elsewhere (at the end). This does not really have any benefits IMHO. And yes, I understand that it is the output that is sorted based on the query. Thanks for clarifying this, and as I read my question, I should have seen the difference myself. Mea culpa! : =) I am quite familiar with SQL Server 2000, but need to use MySQL for a project for the University I am at (Devry Alpharetta, Atlanta), to capture the input from a student survey of the classes and the Faculty members. There are several fields: semester (char), course(char), courseID (int), Faculty (varchar[30] - if that is acceptable in that format - and the answers to 18 questions, all alpha characters (char) or numeric char (int), and one Boolean (yes/no or 1,0). I need to figure out how to best structure this, e.g. create tables on the fly (if that is possible using ASP/ADO and SQL with ODBC connector), or create tables with many to many relationships and store the data for each course survey in a separate table. The tables with many to many relationships would hold all the courses, courseID's, and Faculty members, and the answers to the survey would create links between those and the results from the surveys. A typical class unique identification would look like this: sum03_FBaah_CIS_349 The cols would be 1 through 18 + a calculation col for the average of questions 1 to 18 and a col for the average of all answers to question 1, question 2, etc ... Mind you I may export the answers to an excel spreadsheet and do the calculations there rather than in the DB itself. Anyway this is a long answer to your response but I wanted those who read this to get an idea of what I am working with. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Symbolically linked database, unknown database problem.
I've created databases on a partition without problems, now I come to create a new database on a different partition and I can't access the database at all. At this stage I have the following in the mysql data directory (among others): lrwxrwxrwx1 mysqlmysql 17 Sep 3 11:56 candi - /asp/mysql/candi/ lrwxrwxrwx1 mysqlmysql 24 Dec 7 12:40 cc - /home/fastbase/cc/mysql/ The first database (candi) is fine (along with others in the /asp/mysql path) but the cc database is not accessible. If I log-in as user mysql I can access that directory fine so I thought it may be another problem but I guess rights may still be an issue. Any ideas? What are the rules/requirements for mysql to recognise the database directory? I haven't created any tables yet (as I can't access the database).

RE: create database problem
Ok The problem are that I have checked this command but after I insert the root (unix root) and not the db root. Thanks you very much ! Emiliano --- Sheena Sidhu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: emiliano , the reason you cannot use mysql to connect to use mysql database but can use test is because you do not have permissions to use mysql database. try connecting as mysql -u root -p when prompted enter the root password. after being connected, look into the users and db table of mysql database. this will give you clues why you cannot do somethings that you mentioned in ur mail.

Unknown database problem
Hi! I having a very weird unpredictable problem. A script run from cron at 2:00am every day must conect to database 'ubex' and do some stuff with it. The script is in perl and uses DBI. It works fine pretty much all the time but sometimes (1 or 2 time per month) it gives an error: Unknown database 'ubex' Mysql is 3.23.40, OS is FreeBSD 4.4-RC, Perl is 5.005_03 DBI.pm is 1.14 (ID: v. 10.32 2000/06/14 20:04:03) MySQL DBD is 2.0409 (ID: v 1.5 1999/10/03 17:46:19) The same happens with other databases accessed from a script run from a cron.

upgrade / database problem?

Strange database-problem: deletion of rows
Hi everyone, I've got a problem with my MySQL-Database that I've been dealing with for nearly two weeks now and I don't seem to get a clue of what it's about. My webspace-provider (Schlund Partner in Germany: http://www.schlund.de) doesn't have a solution either, nor have some of my expert-friends I asked - that's why I hope you might be able to help me. Maybe this is a known problem... We've got a database with 46 tables running on the server of Schlund for four months now. During these four months we've been inserting data into the database by PHP-scripts without any problem whatsoever - until two weeks ago. Then we suddenly noticed that some of the data had disappeared: it had been deleted from the database. These deletions mostly followed the same structure: 1.) they happened only after (or maybe during, I don't know) inserting data into the database 2.) they deleted a series of rows from a single table 3.) the number of rows and the "starting point" from which on the data was deleted was always different: sometimes the data between ID 120 and ID 248 was deleted, sometimes the rows between 96 and 168... and so on... 4.) the row before the deleted rows (e.i: in the examples noted above row 119 or row 95) was always changed: one of the values was set to "0" (only exception: the last deletion that happened today where the last row wasn't changed- strangely enough, this one was different for several reasons) 5.) the row inserted directly before (or during) the deletion stayed completely "untouched": every data was inserted correctly (only exception again: the last deletion). 6.) after the rows were deleted, the information given in the phpMyAdmin-interface (Version 2.1.0) I'm using for administration of the database (only for special cases, normally every data is inserted and changed by the php-scripts) seems to indicate that the data still is "hidden" somewhere: in the table affected today for example there were 22 rows and after inserting the 23rd row the rows from 7 up to 23 where deleted, and the "Browse"-Option of the phpMyAdmin-interface (which interprets the query: "SELECT * FROM D_Newsletter LIMIT 0, 30") says "Showing records 0 - 29 (23 total, 6 in query)" and then lists the 6 rows left after deletion. The strange thing is that today there seems to have been a "change of plans": it was the first time that a different kind of table was affected, that no row has been set to "0" and that the latest entry wasn't kept untouched but wasn't inserted at all. Well, so much for the problem, this is the most detailed description I can give you, I hope I didn't forget anything. I'm pretty sure the problem can't be in the PHP-scripts we're inserting the data with, because 1.) we've been inserting data with these scripts for four months now without any problem, and most of the scripts have been unchanged since then. 2.) it's always a different table that's affected and always a different number of rows 3.) the deletions don't happen after every insertion. Of course, I've checked all the scripts, but I couldn't find any errors that could have caused something like that. I know all this sounds pretty strange, but my last hope is that you might have heard of some problem like this before, and maybe you can even think of a solution, that would be really great - or at least some information I can give to my provider; until today they are sure it must be a problem in my scripts.
