[PHP-DB] Re: subtracting one query from the other

2002-06-27 Thread Dan Koken

Not sure what your data looks like or what exactly you are trying to do.
But what is wrong with the old standard compare for NULL. Something like
--
SELECT
first_record.id  as first_id,
second_record.id as second_id
FROM  second_record
LEFT JOIN first_record
ON   first_record.id = second_record.id
ORDER BY something
HAVING first_id = NULL

Here only the second_records will be selected if there is no matching 
first_record.

HTH.. Good luck .. Dan

[PHP-DB] encryption of critical data

2002-06-27 Thread youx

Hi,
Can someone provide me some information about encryption and decryption of critical 
data such as credit number card in order to stock them on a mysql database in a secure 
way.

What I want to do is making a web interface secured via SSL in order to be able to 
consult some people information. As I don't want the critical information to be 
plaintext on the db, I'm searching for a way to get it encrypted and then decrypted 
when I'm consulting via the interface.

 I've read the php.net documentation and many articles about data 
encryption/decryption but both of them stand theorical about the various algorithms.

Do you know the more secures of them and the way to use them ? 
Do you know people working in the same way or do they prefer another kind of more 
secure solution ?

Thank you for your advice,
R.



[PHP-DB] SQL question!

2002-06-27 Thread Bruno Gimenes Pereti

Hi,

I need a sql query to join multiple lines into only one line. Ok, I wouldn´t
understand this question so I´ll give an example (I´m doing it on mysql but
I need it to mssql). Supose I have 3 tables:

mysql> select * from test1;
++---+
| id| nome   |
++---+
|  1| Bruno  |
|  2| Jorge   |
++---+

mysql> select * from test2;
++-+---+
| id| request   | value |
++-+---+
|  1|   1  | 100,00  |
|  1|   2  | Mercedes  |
|  2|   1  | 50,00|
|  2|   3  | Sparc Sun |
++-+---+

mysql> select * from test3;
++--+
| id| value|
++--+
|  1| money  |
|  2| car   |
|  3| computer |
++--+

test1.id -> test2.id
test3.id -> test2.request


When I execute:

select test1.nome, test3.value, test2.value
from test1, test2, test3
where test1.id = test2.id AND test2.request = test3.id

I get:

+---+--+---+
| nome| value   | value |
+---+--+---+
| Bruno  | money  | 100,00  |
| Bruno  | car   | Mercedes  |
| Jorge   | money | 50,00|
| Jorge   | computer | Sparc Sun |
+---+--+---+

But I need this result:

+---+--+---++
| nome| money | car| computer|
+---+--+---++
| Bruno  | 100,00 | Mercedes  | NULL|
| Jorge   | 50,00   | NULL   | Sparc Sun  |
+---+--+---++

Is it possible in Microsoft SQL Server? I´d like to know if it can be
executed on mysql and, if not, if there is some way to do it in mysql.

Sorry for the big e-mail but it´s something I really need to know.

Thank´s

Bruno Gimenes Pereti.

[PHP-DB] XML

2002-06-27 Thread Peter Lovatt

Hi

I am looking at a project using XML to import and export data into MySql
directly or using php. The datasets are quite large (40-50 million records)

I haven't used XML before.

Does it take long to work out how to use php/XML? Are there any problems
working with large datasets?

Thanks

Peter

RE: [PHP-DB] encryption of critical data

2002-06-27 Thread Peter Lovatt

HI

If you are using MySql look at ENCODE() on mysql.com

http://www.mysql.com/doc/M/i/Miscellaneous_functions.html


Most databases support some sort of encryption. Encrypting by php is
probably more secure - somebody might be able to sniff data going to the
database if it still plain text, but that is a small risk IMHO, and getting
the database to do it is easy .

XML is a metadata technology - you wrap data in XML.  You don't use XML to import or 
export data.  You don't store XML in a
database, you store data.

When you fetch the data from the database, you wrap it in XML and send it on its way.  
Does that make it simpler?

Isn't that more than a bit stupid?  Databases are for storing data, not metadata.  Ask 
Monty why he doesn't store data natively as
XML.  Short answer: it's stupid, unless all you ever want to see from your database is 
XML-wrapped data and never want to see it any
other way.

The whole world isn't XML, nor should it be.  40+ years of working with data tells us 
that you ALWAYS want to store data in its
simplest form.

All depends on what you're trying to accomplish and the drivers behind the
path you wish (or need or have been mandated) to take.

Having said that, I make no claims with respect to the smartness of others
(I find I too often question that in myself to serve as a judge of others).

Nice little philosophical exchange...good to break the monotony of real life
from time to time.

Cheers to all and hope ya find the answers you seek.

C'mon.  XML is just data.  There's no particular reason *not* to store
it in a database.  Is there?

But usually people who ask about storing XML in MySQL seem to think MySQL
should do something for them other than *just* store and retrieve it.
The question is, what?  That's what doesn't seem to get answered.

[PHP-DB] Re: XML

2002-06-27 Thread MikeParton

If:
An XML database is analogous to a "pure data" database

Then:
An XML document is the analog of a table
XML Entities are analogs of columns
XML Attributes are analogs of column properties (aren't these "metadata"?)

So:
Not sure there is much more metadata in an XML database than in a data
database.

In a standard database, the data and metadata are stored separately, not so with XML.  
When the next new "latest and greatest" thing
comes along, you'll have to strip all that metadata out of your data.  It also makes 
for bigger databases, and a lot more wasted
space, like comparing normalized and unnormailzed tables.

In most cases you shouldn't store a binary file in a database. It is more 
efficient to store a pointer (eg the name of the file) then have the actual 
file in the filesystem.

If you still want to store the file in the db then the datatype you need is 
BLOB. For full details search the archives.
