Re: [PHP-DB] mysqldump

2004-11-09 Thread David Orlovich
I wonder if you need to specify the full pathname for mysqldump - when 
it's being executed by a script it may not know where mysqldump is, 
whereas if you execute it yourself your PATH tells it where to go, 
which might be why it works under that circumstance.  HTH, David.

console it produces the file fine.  I have read a few other posts out

have any suggestions for regarding this.

also ... I notice you have a space after the -u - should that be 
there?  David.

Re: [PHP-DB] Book recommendation for using MySQL w. PHP

2004-11-03 Thread David Orlovich
I'd recommend Welling and Thomson PHP and MySQL Web Development.  It's 
nice and thick and a new (3rd) edition has just come out.

hi gang
Any recommendations for a book that goes into depth with the SQL 
language and specifically MySQL's variant, and especially using that 
with PHP 

I don't need a beginner's guide, cuz I've gotten far beyond that on my 
own, but I need some help at figuring out the more complex 
possibilities, and how to put them into practical use, with both the 
PHP commands and the SQL language itself.

I'm primarily using MySQL, and want to learn that properly, before I 
start moving on to PostGres and the others...

Any recommendation would be beneficial, thanks alot in advanced :). 
Christmas is coming up, and my girl wants to know what to give me ... 
heh :P

Re: [PHP-DB] backing up database with mysqldump

2004-10-25 Thread David Orlovich
This is what I do (assuming your user is 'root'):
/path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases  
backup.sql

Alternatively you can pipe it into another database like so:
/path-to-/mysqldump -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD --opt --all-databases | 
/path-to-/mysql -hIPADDRESS -uroot -pYOURPASSWORD

Cheers, David Orlovich

MySQLdump is an executable program.
From the command line:
C:\mysqldump databasename  ./path/to/backup/file.sql (or file.txt )
C:\mysqldump --help
gives all the options

[PHP-DB] backing up database with mysqldump

I have attempted to follow the documentation for mysqldump both on 
mysql.com
and previous emails to this list server.  Unfortunately none of the 
advice
has helped me successfully backup my database.  I have been spoiled by
phpmyadmin backup procedures and have never had to manually set up a 
backup
system for a local server.

From shell what should I enter tot to backup my database called 
sampdb to
a location c:/backups?

Everything I have tried spits out an error message.

Re: [PHP-DB] HTML question

2004-09-18 Thread David Orlovich
I think you're just missing some double quotes (which you have to 
escape). How about something like this:

echo tda href=\mailto:;, $row['Email'], \, $row['Email'], 
/a/td;

Cheers, David.

Re: [PHP-DB] How to take Backup ?

2004-07-01 Thread David Orlovich
Hi Rinku
To dump (backup), I do the following:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -uroot -pyourpassword --opt 
--all-databases  ~/backup.sql

To restore, I do this:
cat ~/backup.sql | /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -uroot -pyourpassword
If you've dumped your databases in order to install a new version of 
MySQL, then your restore command won't need to include the -p flag, as 
the root password won't be set.  Once you've restored the backup, go 
into MySQL and enter:
flush privileges;
at the prompt to reinstall your root password etc.

Hope that helps.
Cheers, DavidO.
