You need to have your script operate in different modes. You do this by passing an argument when you call your script to tell the script what it is supposed to do. So in this case, if the script is called with out any arguments, it will display the form, as follows: http://www.sample.com/sam

How to upgrade from source version to RPM version

2001-06-06 Thread Mike Jimenez
I'm rather new to Mysql. Here is the deal. I'm currently running mysql-3.23.33 from mysql-3.23.33.tar.gz. Now after reading through documentation. I now know that I should have used the RPM Version because I'm running Redhat Linux 6.2. So I then downloaded the new version MySQL-3.23.38-1.i386.rpm

Hands down, your best bet is either Linux versions. You will get the best stability, speed, and cost effectiveness by using these databases. Stay away from Windows for this kind of thing. I have developed software for the Windows platform since it first came out, and have been a software en

Re: MySQL Port number

2001-06-06 Thread Kenneth Kopelson
I would suggest you obtain a book on the subject, or visit "mysql.com" and read the documents under "documentation." You are asking questions that have very large answers. To get you started, MySQL is accessed over the web by using a scripting language like PHP or Perl. -Ken At 07:35 PM 6/5

Actually you are only exposed if you have not set up Apache to run with virtual hosts. It is not difficult to configure Apache so that a person can only see the scripts that are in his/her directory, and is prevented from seeing or modifying the scripts in other peoples directories. Also, it

Re: MAC OS X Server

2001-06-06 Thread Kenneth Kopelson
Apple has tested MySQL on MAC OS X to the best of my knowledge. Given that MAC OS X is essentially FreeBSD Unix with a pretty wrapping, it makes sense that MySQL would work easily. If someone said MySQL worked on MAC OS 9, or older, I would be more cautious. At 02:42 PM 6/5/01 -0800, Angela

Sure, that is easy. Just add a column to your room assignment table called something like "RELEASE_TIME", and put into that column the time you want the room to be released. Then, whenever you want to release rooms, execute something like "DELETE FROM ROOM_ASSIGN WHERE RELEASE_TIME > NOW()"

If I'm not mistaken, MySQL can handle millions or even billions of rows, and there is no real limit to the number that reside in a single table. So Mike Mike relax, you are using a serious database here, not a little toy :) -Ken At 01:20 PM 6/5/01 -0500, Johnny Withers wrote: >At boot time y

It is actually a little tricky. You need to build the table in mysql yourself, then use some utility to import it. I would use perl. The problem with Excel is that when it exports csv, it does not quote empty fields (I think), So, you can't use Text::ParseWords (AFAIK). Here is a regexp which w
