Using Open Source Database

2009-08-27 Thread Sameh Attia
Hi, Part of our road map is to use an open source database besides commercial databases (oracle and sql server), we need to select an open source database to build the necessary skills for administration and operation. Then we would put guidelines on which applications should use open source

Viable alternatives to SQL?

2009-08-27 Thread Kelly Jones
Many sites let you search databases of information, but the search queries are very limited. I'm creating a site that'll allow arbitrary SQL queries to my data (I realize I'll need to handle injection attacks). Are there other viable ways to query data? I read a little on Business System 12

Isn't that basically the same as pointing phpmyadmin at a read-only copy of the data? There's a reason most searches are limited; when you most people too many options, it's confusing. Good interfaces hide complexity from the end user. -Original Message- From: Jerry Schwartz

That procedure is horribly incorrect. You should simply move the ib_log and ibdata files with the rest of the datadir. The ibdata1 file contains innodb's system tables and depending on your setting of innodb_file_per_table it also contains your data! On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 7:56 AM, Jia

Thanks for the tips. Where can I find more details about the ibdata file? After I changed the data dir, hese file did get recreated. So far, I have not noticed any data loss yet. Best, Jia Eric Bergen wrote: That procedure is horribly incorrect. You should simply move the ib_log and ibdata

Getting mySQL to ignore case sensitivity of field names

2009-08-27 Thread Adrian Aitken
Hi, Google isn't my friend :-( How can I tell mySQL 5.0 to ignore the case of field names i.e. FullName should also be able to be referenced as fullname,fullNAME etc ? I'm running it on a linux box at home but my copy at work (running on Windows 2000 server) has this by default - I certainly set

Hi Scott, it's not the values I have a problem with, it's the fieldnames themselves. As an example the mysql.user table has 'Host' but when I do an update setting 'host' to a value it fails to update. I have to enter 'Host'. The mysql.com link seems to only talk about field values. Regards

Oops, sorry about that. My understanding is this is OS dependent: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html You may be able to set lowercase tables names, but would always have to use lowercase. I would just stick to entering in the correct case, as the other
