Can you run rsync on Windows environment? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Lucia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 6:32 PM To: 'Peter Lauri'; 'Jason Dimberg'; mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: UPDATE from one server to another rsync is a *nix utility that synchronizes two file systems, one local and one remote (typically). It is used to produce mirrors / backups / etc. You would not want to use it to synchronize database (raw) files via the file system. If you include a timestamp field, you can use that to copy across all records that are newer then the last time you uploaded, or, greater then the most-recent date in the main database. Tim rsync (1) - faster, flexible replacement for rcp DESCRIPTION rsync is a program that behaves in much the same way that rcp does, but has many more options and uses the rsync remote-update protocol to greatly speed up file transfers when the destination file is being updated. The rsync remote-update protocol allows rsync to transfer just the differences between two sets of files across the network connection, using an efficient checksum-search algorithm described in the techni- cal report that accompanies this package. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Lauri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 05, 2006 10:17 PM To: 'Jason Dimberg'; mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: RE: UPDATE from one server to another I am not that clever, but I would just create a Web Service (WS) on the Server that the Laptop call whenever the laptop want to push the date into the server database. I heard something about something called rsync, but I think that is restricted to Linx, Unix. /Peter -----Original Message----- From: Jason Dimberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 10:35 AM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: UPDATE from one server to another I am working on an application where data will be collected on laptops and then uploaded to a central database once the laptop is able to connect to the network after being in the field. I was initially thinking of using MS Access as a front end with linked tables through MySQL ODBC. I am now considering running WAMP on each machine with a web interface because there will be no interoperability issues if MySQL is the db server on both ends, but I am 1.) looking for any recommendations for the laptop interface (MS Access/WAMP or whatever other options might be available) and 2.) want to know what is the actual command for updating a table across two servers (this is NOT replication, but merely updating new data to an existing table). Data transfered will include binary objects and possibly GIS data. For example, Laptop 1 might have 10 rows of data from todays activities that need to be added to the main Server. Laptop 2 might have 30 rows of data that need to be added to the main Server. Neither laptop needs to have the data from the other, but the Server will contain data from both Laptops at the end of the day. The Server will then offer the data through a web interface. Server: Linux/MySQL 5.0 Laptops MS Access 2003 OR MySQL 5.0/ PHP 5/ Apache 2 Thank you. -- Jason -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
