Primary Key Question

2002-12-16 Thread tmb
I understood that MySQL didn't internally keep up with
the relationships between tables... like MS Access... 

And that it was up to the programmer to referential
integrity...

But I noticed in phpMyAdmin that the offer the option
of defining a column in a table as 'Primary'

Am I confused on this or is this something that
phpMyAdmin takes does ??

thanks for any help.

How to xfr Windows MySQL db to Linux ?

2002-12-16 Thread tmb
Will MySQL/Windows db files work on a Linux box?

I'm guessing they will, but then someone questioned
me.

I'm creating a MySQL/PHP db prototype on a Windows box
running Apache... but it will end up on a Linux/Apache
server some day.

Thanks for any help.

Multiple MySQL db's on one machine

2002-12-09 Thread tmb
I was told that if you had multiple MySQL db's on a
single machine... that actually it was really only one
db with tables for for db1, db2, db3... ???

This doesn't sound right.

I thought MySQL created a seperate directory for each
db  put each db's files in their respective folder...

true or not ?

Another Defining Relationships in MySQL Question

2002-11-08 Thread tmb
In MS Access you define relationships between Key ID
fields by dragging a line on the screen from the
parent table to the child table.

So, if you are enforcing referential integrity you
can not delete data that is referred to by another
table or mess up the basic db structure... (think I
have this about right :)

When you first create a db in MySQL... how do you tell
MySQL which Key field in table A is related to a field
in table B?

Thanks for any help - tmb

Where are db files ??

2002-10-04 Thread tmb

HELP ! I'm a newbie to both Linux  mySQL.

I have a simple mySQL sample data base running on a
Red Hat 7.3 machine.

It was already setup when I got it.

Now I want to find the data base files that mySQL
creates so I can back them up... and for my education.

I can't seem to get Linux to search the entire hard
disk... and I'm really not sure of the data base file
names... it comes up in a demo web page.

1 - Where does mySQL normally store it's data base
files?

2 - Can you change the default directory for a data
base?

3 - How do you get Linux to search the entire disk for
a file?

Thanks for any help...

Re: Will MySQL_Linux_Apache handle Yahoo level traffic data?

2001-03-20 Thread tmb

Jeremy,

Thanks for the info.

Do you happen to know how many actual hits a Yahoo or
eBay or Google get each day?

According to http://us.mediametrix.com/data/thetop.jsp

Yahoo had about 60 million "unique visitors" in Feb
Google had about 10 million
eBay was in the middle

Unique Visitor is the catch... I could visit Yahoo 5
times a day but I would count as only one unique
visitor.

I'm trying to determin the number of hits... or
request by internet clients for web pages... to get an
idea of the bandwidth requirments for very large
internet sites.

Thanks for any help - tmb
