Interesting ... when I try it, I get the output that, I suspect, you
want. Since mine is Windows cmd-line, I put it all on one line, but I
believe that all Unix-likes let one continue a string until finished.
When I break the e-string off, I get a syntax error, as if entered
from the MySQL command prompt, semicolon too soon. I cannot get the
output that you describe unless I slip question-mark in.
Thanks for the reply.
I haven't gotten any simple -e or --execute= options to work on my
Mac. I've got a dual-boot setup, so booted into ubuntu 14.04 and
-e'command' works for any test that I tried.
I'd chalk it up to version or an OS difference, and my need is
easy to be met with another approach.
Cheers

Importing a database as a data file directory

Do you know if the database was shut down properly? Or did Ubunto crash and die and your partition become unbootable while the database was in active use? The database had been shut down, no symptom occurred when the OS was booted, I just couldn't reboot (for starters) Either way, you need to make sure MySQL is shut down when you move the files, and then repair them after starting. Good tip. I've had good experiences moving MyISAM files that way, but bad experience moving INNODB files. I suspect the latter are more aggressively cached. They are MyISAM ...

Like many web developers I use/develop HTML forms to edit MySQL databases. What are your my view templates ? ** Source documents for my MVC view templates ** I use my own framework.

It would connect to MySQL with a specific table - column names optional - as a parameter and produce an input form - I could do in good time, but since I am self-employed, time is money for me, thus I looked for a shortcut and it appears none is available that would suit me: Since a I use a special markup for Javascript validation, I would have to add that by hand. My tool, since it would understand my framework could add most of the markup. thanks again -- Tim tim at tee jay forty nine dot com or akwebsoft dot com http://www.akwebsoft.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql

Once you get the system preferences pane installed you can access it and enable the Startup option so that MySQL starts whenever the system is booted. I am not sure what your requirements are but without the previously mentioned steps, if your machine loses power while you are away and is subsequently rebooted, you will not be able to access the database until you manually start the service.

C API Function for count(*)
I have MySQL version 5.0.84 on linux slackware 13.0 32-bit. I am working with a relatively new API written in a programming language with a small user base (newlisp). The newlisp API imports a number of C API functions from the system MySQL shared object. If I were to issue a count(*) query from my monitor interface: Example: mysql select count(*) from clients; +--+ | count(*) | +--+ | 16 | +--+ If select count(*) from clients is issued from the newlisp API, is there a a C API function that would return '16'? I have reviewed http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/c-api-functions.html and haven't been enlightened so far.

You need to escape strings when building SQL query strings to avoid problems with quote characters, which are special in SQL. When MySQL returns the queried data to your program, it's not using a SQL query to do so. It just gives the data back in a directly usable form. Not sure what you mean by directly usable. If I do an insert statement with a backslash, for example: headline\one, I will retrieve headline\\one, and that will need to be unescaped, because it is not a true representation of what was submitted by the original insert. tim -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My perspective is a little different from yours: as the maintainer of MySQL++ (http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/), I have never actually used the C API directly. I don't have any pure C sample code here to tweak to try things. Me neither - not any more anyway, since I quit coding in C C++ years ago.. Furthermore, I am also working with a scripting language new to me. My experience is with python - where unescaping is _not_ an issue and rebol, where unescaping _is_ an issue. Python using the API (somewhere buried deep in the MySQLdb modules, and rebol using a direct socket connection on port 3306. Instead, I changed one of the MySQL++ examples to insert a string with a backslash into the DB, and on retrieving the rows, I get a single backslash. In the C++ code, the backslash is doubled due to C/C++ string parsing rules, but that's only one character in the underlying string data. Due to the way this example uses MySQL++, that string gets automatically escaped on DB insertion, so I presume it's sent over the wire as two backslashes, though I haven't verified it. Then when you retrieve rows through MySQL++, it returns a fairly direct copy of the data the C API gives you, with no real translation going on. I'm seeing the same that you are with the language (newlisp) that I am playing with. MySQL++ doesn't have an unescape function, so I don't see why your program would need one. I believe that you are correct. If not a single regex should handle it, and be fairly fast. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.

Regarding this issue, I have found that by rebooting the computer, these problems have gone away (for now). I have a feeling that this was a subtle permission/ownership problem.

I'm just trying to find an explanation for why it is the way it is. Just a quick note regarding ubuntu. To make a long story short, I moved from slack to ubuntu because of the debian package-management system, which is inherited by ubuntu. When mysql is installed via the debian package management system, the binaries being installed have been built and maintained by the ubuntu development team. From what I know, this team is well-funded and very able. And the binaries are built for ubuntu in the ubuntu way ... why then are you continuing to argue back and forth instead of going to mysql.com and getting a different set of binaries to try? You could have done that about five times in the time it's took to have this exchange. Even if it didn't work, we'd be farther along towards a solution by now. Not necessarily. Read on: I own a software development company. I have been a database programmer for 18 years, I'm proficient in C/C++/assembler/VBA/Python/Rebol/javascript to name just a few.

I stuck with the ubuntu way because I am now on ubuntu. It is likely that using binaries *not* built for ubuntu would just compound the problem. Given the very, very, large user base of MySQL and the large user base of ubuntu and the distinct characteristics of the debian package management system, which is not only used by ubuntu, but by others - it would be worthy to have a ubuntu(debian)-specific support community for mysql.

Unless you're on a shared machine and are trying to run a private copy of MySQL, you probably don't mean to put store table data in a subdirectory of the current directory (./mysql). Typically this stuff goes in /var/lib/mysql If that's what you want, you can either override the defaults by setting up a custom my.cnf or get a build of MySQL that has the defaults set sanely for your needs.

Someone chose to build it with this configuration, and presumably that person made a choice that is sensible for their needs. If it doesn't work for you, you can either build MySQL from source with the configuration choices you like, or switch to another build that has defaults you like. That's why I suggested downloading the official binaries from mysql.com: they work for most people. Do I understand that you think that this problem comes from the way that the ubuntu development team built mysql? I find this very strange, considering that I have installed mysql on on ubuntu before without this problem. What I did do different on this install was copy some (but not all) directly to /var/lib/mysql/(database_name). I'm also very nervous about mixing the install of of binaries with a fairly succesful update schema - that is - the debian based package management system.

The fact that it breaks for you doesn't mean the configuration makes no sense. I don't know for a fact that this is what's going on. I don't use Ubuntu.

I'm glad you see that, but why then are you continuing to argue back and forth instead of going to mysql.com and getting a different set of binaries to try? You could have done that about five times in the time it's took to have this exchange. Even if it didn't work, we'd be farther along towards a solution by now. I am not arguing. I am being cautious. If I were on a slack or redhat system, which I'm more familiar with, I would have reinstalled already.

Post Installation for Mysql on Ubuntu
Hello: I am preparing to install the latest mysql server on ubuntu - I think it will be version 5+. It has been some time since I have done a setup and I would appreciate updated instructions. The ubuntu install via Adept Manager will ask for a root password. Following that I know that I must add one or more user accounts.

Thanks Try InnoDB or PBXT (http://www.primebase.com/xt) :) for the time being, I'm going to stick with MyISAM. I've got a possible solution I will try later - and the target is a online accounting system for a *very* small company (mine) with a *very* small number of clients. Here we go - it's weird, but it might work. I use a default value, which is itself a foreign key that point to a meta-table example status int(6) default 1, 1 is the ID for a table with columns `ID` 'descriptor`, where the desciptor field holds something like this provider_status.ID.title the script executes the show cols query, then queries the metadata table where provider_status.ID.title tells the script to pull `ID' and `title' from provider_status and load the values into a select/option list form entity. I'm sure that this will not be optimal performance-wise, but where speed is not an issue, will save much coding time. Since it will be the weekend before I try this out, I welcome observations and any references to meta-data approaches using MySQL /MyISAM.

Hello: Am currently using Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58 on Linux 2.4.20-20.9. (RH 9.0). I'd like to upgrade to the current version. I would like to know if there are any cautions to observe, or any prepartory steps to take. If I look at the following URL: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html I see some things that confuse me a bit: I see this label: Linux (x86, glibc-2.2, static, gcc) ## Well, I've got glibc-2.3 And I see this label: Linux (x86, glibc-2.3, dynamic, Intel C++ Compiler) ## Well, glibc-2.3 looks good, *but* I don't have ## the Intel C++ Compiler. Just gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 Comments and pointers to docs would be appreciated. Thanks much tim -- Tim Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
List of MySQL Keywords
Hello All: I would like to make up a complete (if possible) list of MySQL query keywords. I would appreciate pointers to documentation that might hold such a list, without too much extraneous or extra text. In my current documentation, the Manual Function Index is a good source, but if I could find something with less extra text, that would be great.

Concatenating tables
Hello mysql gurus: We are importing data from 3 CSV files. Documentation regarding the originating database is for the most part, not available to us. Translating directly from CSV to .sql files, we can see that the three files are really the first, second and third parts of one huge table and could be merged into one. This would simplify queries for us. We realize that eventually, normalization should be applied, but for the interim, can we expect a performance penalty if we concatenate the the 3 tables into 1. Taken as a sum, we should have about 330 columns and 5000+ rows. Comments would be appreciated. Pointers to documentation on this subject are also quite welcome.

Re: Concatenating tables
* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040615 12:11]: Well, Tim, since you can't fix the data on the way out of the database (the original application), you will have to fix it on the way in. My best advice is to create 3 new tables in MySQL that look just like your 3 raw data files. Use a LOAD DATA INFILE command to populate each of your 3 raw tables. That solves the problem of getting the data _into_ MySQL. Make all columns nullable on your raw import tables and do not create any indexes. If you do not have names for your columns in your original data you can call them anything like col001 just so that you have somewhere for your data to land. The next problem will be to move it about in such a way that it fits into a useful data structure (especially into something with columns that have been usefully named). It all depends on what you need to do with the data after import. :-( Thanks Shawn: I appreciate the input. All these issues (populating tables, field names etc) are handled. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, but my question really boils to to this: ** Will there be any perfomance penalties if we put all data into ** ** ONE table? ** (I don't anticipate that there would be, but I'm asking for a non-list member, and will pass opinions on to him) Thanks again, I hope this reply clarifies. tj I am sorry but I don't know of any good resources to help beyond the MySQL manual and Google searches (search in both in the WEB and GROUPS areas).

Taken as a sum, we should have about 330 columns and 5000+ rows. Hi Frank: Are you saying: each CSV contains about 110 columns for the same key values Yes. - or - each CSV contains 1700+ rows for the same 330 columns. - or - something else? In the first case, I would consider loading three tables, then using sql to join the data by key values and dump it into a new table with all 330 columns. Then delete the three temp tables. :-) In the second case, I would concatenate the CSV files, then import them into a table of 330 columns. What performance penalty are you expecting with either of these scenarios? I didn't anticipate any penalty myself (for scenario 1), but was looking for a second opinion. I like your tip on using join. I always like mysql to do the heavy lifting (they're so much better programmers than I) Thanks -- Tim Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
First letter only of a column
Hello: Is it possible to use mysql to select only the first letter of a string in a column? IOWS select names from table - select first letter of names from table another way of asking my questions would be, Is it possible to truncate columns in selection set to a specific length (in the case: 1) Pointers to relevant documents are welcome.

MySQLCC - Garbage Display
Hello: I'm using mysqlcc version 0.9.3 on RH 9.0. When I upgraded from RH 7.2, the application seems to have changed into a bizarre, unreadable font. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Obviously, this renders the application entirely unusable. I suspect a QT problem, will look for source and try to compile, if no other solution offered.

Re: PHP or Perl? (or Rebol via TCP/IP)
I hope I don't start a relegious war here I just want some advice. Mark Healey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I program with C, C++, python and rebol. My partner use perl. We do lots of stuff with MySql. My hands-down favorite is rebol. I find more code-efficient than any other language that I have used in my career. And it delivers sizzling performance from mysql on a TCP/IP connection (rather than using shared binaries). Like perl, rebol is easy to get off the ground with and there are multiple ways to do anything. (including roll-your-own control structures). given rebol's performance, I'm going to investigate using C on a socket connection to MySql... Just my thoughts My brother is a project engineer with motorola they use lots of both rebol and perl. Perl for regex and rebol for socket work. Although I believe that you can harness regex directly with mysql, I haven't done anything more than simple blobs. -- Tim Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.alaska-internet-solutions.com http://www.johnsons-web.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
