I didn't get a response to the question below, and my alternative solution produced another error message as follows. Rather than try to establish a new database, I used the Test database established when I reinstalled mysql. With a csv file saved under mysql/data/test, I did a load data

Finding Database and Tables

I have mysql installed on a pc running Windows 98. I recently had to reformat a partitioned c drive. My tables were stored in a database called samp_db. When I give the command "use samp_db" I get Error 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'samp_db' When I give the co

Thanks to everyone for responses, but the conclusion I'm reaching is that there is no simple command to stop scrolling of the table list in dos. As Hassan Schroder said, "pager doesn't work in Windows, anyway." I did try mysql>SHOW TABLES \P less; and got an error message. I just don't unders

When I do mysql>SHOW TABLES \p less; I get the error message "You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'less' in line 1" I am using dos, not unix. Ken ** On Mon, 31 May 2004 21:19:28 -0700, Robert J Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ultimately simple, but I don't

Ultimately simple, but I don't find the answer: how to stop a list from scrolling to the bottom when the command SHOW TABLES is entered. Ken -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Sorting Varchar

2004-05-13 Thread kc68
I've just tried the three column solution (designating each column as null), but the empty cells produce a "0" just as the two cells with an actual "0." How do I avoid that, preferably with a blank in that place? * On Thu, 13 May 2004 13:53:37 -0400, Bill Easton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

That didn't do it. I got 0,0,1050,1168,1195, 1975, 150,155,16500,170,178. . . The non-numerics came out last (which I want). There are two zeros but no negative numbers. Any alternatives? Ken ** On Wed, 12 May 2004 07:47:11 -0400, Bill Easton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You could also

Sorting Varchar

2004-05-11 Thread kc68
How do I set up a column (cost) that contains numbers and text so that the numbers will sort the numbers accurately? Using varchar results in a sort based on the first digit, so that I get e.g. 1, 10, 100, 3. . . when the command is "order by cost." Almost all of the text is "By County." Ken

Convert MS Access to MYSQL

2004-01-30 Thread kc68
There was some discussion in December of converting MS Access databases to Mysql and the DBManager program was recommended. I have DBManager running and select "Tools=>Data Management=>Import/Export Wizards," but the command is greyed out and won't activate. I am using Office 2000 and I have m
