LOAD DATA INFILE - "Duplicate entry '' for key..."

Hi all! I bumped in a strange problem. I dumped a help table (i.e. only text) into a file. The table contains two fields: a "topic" (unique) field and a "content" field. Then performed a "LOAD DATA INFILE" on the resulting file in a different database with identical structure. Everything work

Re: General Query time question

2002-01-08 Thread Bogdan Stancescu
I'm just guessing here, but I suppose most of the char(1) fields are y/n fields. If that's the case you should consider using a single BIGINT and flag those bits instead. That would considerably reduce the size of the table on one hand and I guess it should improve things speed-wise as well. Obvi

Re: General Query time question

2002-01-08 Thread Bogdan Stancescu
My suggestion (using a bigint and flagging the bits instead of using 40 char(1) fields) is only valid if you don't use any of those fields in WHERE clauses in SELECT's. Not that you wouldn't be able to retrieve the entries based on the respective field, but I don't think it would be indeed faster

No, I mean the type of the fields. When you create a table you have to define the field types -- char, varchar, stuff like that. Does your code take care of that? Thanks for the links! Bogdan Roger Baklund wrote: > * Bogdan Stancescu > > I'm curious about this issue too - does

I'm curious about this issue too - does the third line in your code take care of the table structure as well?! I'm also wondering how one could duplicate a whole database (for backup purposes in my case). Bogdan Roger Baklund wrote: > * saraswathy saras > > how to copy table from one database

You can usually try providing an empty -p parameter and be asked for the password afterwards. Bogdan Philip Mak wrote: > As far as I can tell, mysqlhotcopy does not provide a way of specifying > the password anywhere other than the command line (e.g. it doesn't seem > to read .my.cnf). --

You get quite a few examples with the documentation which is very good (I had nil experience with SQL before reading the MySQL docs and had no problems learning by it -- and I'm an learn-by-example man myself). Plus I don't think I'm wrong if I say a Google search on "MySQL tutorial" will return

Why don't you install a Linux box at home instead? You'd have the advantage of learning about configuration as well, plus the ability to tweak the packages as you please. If you have no Linux experience you can always check out Mandrake Linux which is extremely easy to install, even in dual-boot m

You must make sure you don't perform arithmetic differences between integer values such as "2000" representing 8:00 pm and "1945" representing 7:45 pm because that obviously would result in wrong values. For example 2000-1945=55, which is arithmetically correct but not the desired result if you wa
