MySQL vs Postgres for revignitor
Hi folks, I'm just about to install a database behind revServer to start building out a web app and experimenting with revIgnitor. Are there any major LiveCode, revIgnitor or other usability or toolset issues I should be aware of before selecting Postgres over MySQL?

Hi Bernd, Brilliant, thanks. Wow - I've never even noticed the border section on the basic properties tab before! I guess that's the problem of setting the preference for LiveTalk property names to force some learning - not all the property descriptions (such as 'corner') are in the Dictionary yet! ;-) Note to self: I need to work out why I can't log-in to add Dictionary notes myself (it may be a developer release thing - I'll wait for 4.6 GA) Best, Keith..

Re: Best practice for creating a resizable HUD-style widget stack background?
You can probably get away with drag-to-resize a round-cornered window by changing to a square-cornered window when they start to drag, perhaps a transparent one. The round-cornered graphics can still be visible and expanding live. When they let go of the drag, re-calculate the round-cornered mask from the now-resized graphics and re-apply.

I see now that managing these custom stack window shapes is (without wishing to sound critical of LiveCode) very similar to managing rounded rectangles in web pages for IE compatibility - i.e. the nine-image trick. As I don't need drag-to-resize, I reckon I can create a script-driven, rounded rectangle window shape that grows to fit its contents. If I keep the background colouring simple I reckon I can adapt a trick I've used on web pages into a script: 1. Import the 4 corner images but use LiveCode rectangles for the 5 rectangles that form the central cross; 2. Setting the HUD contents to a group and use the group's dimensions (plus margins) to set the size of the cross' component rectangles; Thanks again - oh, and item 8 in the newsletter http://runrev.com/newsletter/may/issue70/newsletter3.php has inspired me to have a go with adding a resizing preferences drawer, too!

Someone was asking about the Show Tables command and not getting anything back from the query. I got this out of the mySQL manual: If you have no privileges for a base table or view, it does not show up in the output from SHOW TABLES or mysqlshow db_name. I cannot imagine that you don't have privileges to any of the tables, but it's something to check first.

Re: Best practice for creating a resizable HUD-style widget stack background?
Thanks for the ideas Chris. I'm now convinced that for this particular HUD, the window shape size should not be too flexible but resize automatically, based on its contents. The user shouldn't have to worry about resizing the HUD - and this approach will also mitigate any risk of problems caused by users with 'fiddling fingers'! Best, Keith..

I have one database with two tables. The tables are teacher_user and student_user. Each table has a unique teacher-id stored in a fields. So students with the teacher_id value of 0001 stored in their student_user record all belong to the same teacher. Teacher_tableStudent_table id - 0001 teacher_id = 0001 first first last last title grade I also have the teacher login with their username and password comparing what is stored in their db record for username and password. If they match, then their username and password is then session_register(username); session_register(password); . What i would like to be able to do is query the database and return a list of students to the individual teacher based on some unique information about the teacher's record, say their username. is there some way I can get at the session_register(username) and use it in my select query? Something like: select username from teacher_table and put id of table teacher_table into tTeacher_id then select tTeacher_id from student_table and loop through the student printing each record I suppose if the teacher new their id value I could just have them type that into a form and do a simple query the student_table and teacher_id field by that id value.

Re: Sort of OT: mysql and select from two tables...?
Hi Bob...
session_user() appears to give me something other than the current
logged in user. It returns: myaccount_nameofdatabase
This is what I did to test it out:
$result = mysql_query( SELECT session_user() FROM teacher_user )
or die(SELECT Error: .mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
print There are $num_rows records.P;
print table width=600 border=1\n;
while ($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print tr\n;
foreach ($get_info as $field)
print \ttd$field/td\n;
print /tr\n;
}
print /table\n;
I think even if I could return just the current user's profile (fields
in their record) using the session_register command in mySQL I'd be
making progress :-)
Any other ideas?

SQL Gotchas
Hi kids. Just a little info. Seems that DEFAULT can be used with text types in sqLite, but NOT mySQL! biting tongue to refrain from ranting. Also sqLite allows a data length to be defined for DATETIME but mySQL does NOT! I am beginning to understand why a lot of software vendors will only support one engine. Because the SQL between different engines is neither STANDARD nor is it SIMPLE. Just saying. Does anyone know of any reference work done on the differences between engine syntaxes? I am trying to take the SQL for a table in sqLite and massage it to create the exact same table in mySQL. This is proving to be a snake pit, and I'd like to know what kind of snakes are in the pit before I jump in feet first.

Re: Sort of OT: mysql and select from two tables...?
session_register is not a mySQL function, it is php. It is also deprecated, so
it may or may not work depending on the version of php being used.
I thought you were trying to get Livecode to tell you who the current logged in
user was? current_user() or just user() works for me.
Bob
on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
put select current_user() into theSQL
put dbconn_get(connection id, priconn, primary) into thePriID --
sqlYoga function
try
put revDataFromQuery(comma, return, thePriID, theSQL) into theSQLData
-- RevDB function
catch theError
answer theError
exit to top
end try
put theSQLData
end mouseUp
This returns my on-rev user login@the ip I am connecting from as in
mydatabase_mylogin@69.227.63.5 (I made that up). Wouldn't that do it for you?
Or are you using some kind of internal authentication and you are trying to get
what the user typed into a form?

More regex madness
Hi all. I read over the regex specifications, and I am more confused than ever. I want to find, say any text and varchar and any text and default and any text. I would think that: matchText(varchar(255) default `Yes`, *varchar*default*) would return true, but no. I get: Message execution error: Error description: matchChunk: error in pattern expression Hint: bad escape sequence However: put matchText(varchar(255) default `Yes`, varchar) returns true. How do I use wild cards?? I really thought I understood at least the basics of regex, but I see I do not.

Recently, Jim Lambert wrote: You can also generate a rounded appearance with just one object. 1 - create a rounded rectangle graphic with the corner radii you want, say 30. 2 - name it myMask 3 - make it opaque invisible 4 - set its rect to the card's rect 5 - set its geometry to scale with the window 6 - put this script in the card: command maskMe import snapshot from grc myMask set the windowshape of this stack to the id of last image delete last image end maskMe [forehead smack] Jim's right, I should have mentioned this is the easy way to do a round rect window. I'm used to the pre-graphic effects days of LC (Rev) where the only way to create a shadow for a custom window was to create a mask shape in an image-editing app along with its dropshadow and slice that into 9 tiles. Now one can simply add a dropshadow to a round rect graphic, place the graphic in a group with a suitably large margin, and import the windowshape mask image as a snapshot of the group. Good call Jim.

Re: More regex madness
the * matches any number of chars matching the preceeding char. so *varchar*will try to match varcharrr To do what you want, use the period which stand for any char. So.. .*varchar.*default.* might be closer to what you want. Can be some weird results depending on whats in the string that is being regexed, but should get you a start.

Re: Sort of OT: mysql and select from two tables...?
I was just trying to get this to work straight with php and mysql, at least
first off. I remember hearing others say the revmobile does not allow for
LiveCode 's mySQL commands to work from within a mobile app. I thought I had
heard, if you can just call post commands from within your revmobile app, you
could still access mysql from your revmobile app.
I keep trying to think of php and mysql commands the same way i think of
LiveCode. That's my problem :-)
The user log in I was referring to in the earlier post was just a mysql query
that compares what the user types in on the form for username and password. If
they match they move on, if they don't match, they get to try again. A username
and password match instigates a session_start() and that code is placed at the
top of each html page. I think this was a pretty typically way to create a
basic form based login using php and mysql.
My attempt to query the student_user table for all students associated to that
teacher via an entry in the teacher_user table, the teacher's unique id, was
what i was after. It would be much easier to do this in a rev app. I could just
store all the teacher data from the table teacher_user, and pull it out when
querying tables other than teacher_user, such as the student_user table.
Thanks!

put select current_user() into theSQL
put dbconn_get(connection id, priconn, primary) into thePriID --

This returns my on-rev user login@the ip I am connecting from as in

Or are you using some kind of internal authentication and you are trying to
get what the user typed into a form?

Hi Bob...
session_user() appears to give me something other than the current logged in
user. It returns: myaccount_nameofdatabase
This is what I did to test it out:
$result = mysql_query( SELECT session_user() FROM teacher_user )
or die(SELECT Error: .mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
print There are $num_rows records.P;
print table width=600 border=1\n;
while ($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print tr\n;
foreach ($get_info as $field)
print \ttd$field/td\n;
print /tr\n;
}
print /table\n;
I think even if I could return just the current user's profile (fields in
their record) using the session_register command in mySQL I'd be making
progress :-)
Any other ideas?
Thank you!

Hi All...
Thanks for the previous help on the on-rev php/mysql question. I have a
question about the mysql select command, session_register, and selecting
from two tables.
I have one database with two tables. The tables are teacher_user and
student_user.
Each table has a unique teacher-id stored in a fields. So students with
the teacher_id value of 0001 stored in their student_user record all
belong to the same teacher.
Teacher_tableStudent_table
id - 0001 teacher_id = 0001
first first
last last
title grade
I also have the teacher login with their username and password comparing
what is stored in their db record for username and password. If they
match, then their username and password is then
session_register(username); session_register(password); .
What i would like to be able to do is query the database and return a list
of students to the individual teacher based on some unique information
about the teacher's record, say their username.
is there some way I can get at the session_register(username) and use it
in my select query?
Something like:
select username from teacher_table and put id of table teacher_table
into tTeacher_id then
select tTeacher_id from student_table and loop through the student
printing each record
I suppose if the teacher new their id value I could just have them type
that into a form and do a simple query the student_table and teacher_id
field by that id value. But I was
