[PHP-DB] Re: oci_bind_by_name, 'Unknown or unsupported datatype given'

2005-08-10 Thread Anton Channing
Okay, its seems my problem is actually more fundamental.
I've just tried to run the example from the oci_bind_by_name
documentation on php.net, and get the same error!  The
example doesn't work for me.

I think at this point I need to assume there is something
wrong with the server settings?  Maybe Apache needs
certain configurations in order for this to work?

Anyone have any idea whats causing this?

This is the page with the example I tried to run:
http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.oci-bind-by-name.php

And this is the output from it:

Anton,

This seems so fundamental I hesitate to suggest it.
Have you run a script with phpinfo() in it?
Or apache or httpd with the -l, -V or -t switches?

Okay, have just run phpinfo, obviously it prints out
a whole load of stuff, what am I looking for?

I hesitate to do anything with the server.  Unfortunately
my colleague that deals with the server is on holiday,
so if the phpinfo output can help, it would be good
if I can work something out from that.

Also, we are lacking a test server at the moment, so
the only changes I can make are to the live one... :)

Anton


Please reply to the list ...

Well, it tells you what PHP has been compiled with, Apache configuration, 
and further down what database support is available.


The reason for running phpinfo() and Apache or httpd with those command 
line switches is that it tells you what support for Oracle is available 
from the web server side. Presumably there are similar functions built into 
Oracle.


Never having used Oracle, I cannot tell you what to look for, but there is 
some basic information here which should help with your diagnosis.

[PHP-DB] Connecting to SQL Server

2005-08-10 Thread Todd Cary
I have been asked by my client to use SQL Server for my php application 
(uh!).  The name of the server is 2k-server, but I am not sure 
where to create the ODBC connection.  Some of the docs state that all I 
need is


?php

$connection_string = 'DRIVER={SQL 
Server};SERVER=2K-SERVER;DATABASE=Php_Test';


$user = 'sa';
$pass = 'MyPassword';

$connection = odbc_connect( $connection_string, $user, $pass );

?

However that gives me an error:

Warning: SQL error: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not 
found, and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in 
/home/httpd/test/odbc/php/connect.php on line 8


Any suggestions on the best way to connect?

Re: [PHP-DB] Connecting to SQL Server

Hi Todd,

PHP has native support for MSSQL Server. On a *nix platform you need to
install and configure FreeTDS and recompile php using --with-mssql, but
then you will be able to use the mssql_* functions.

Re: [PHP-DB] Connecting to SQL Server

2005-08-10 Thread tg-php
If I remember right, PHP's built-in database functions don't allow for a 
DSNLess connection.  Meaning you have to set up an ODBC source on the machine 
PHP is running on (or do a remote ODBC connection) and connect to a DSN (a 
named datasource manually set up).  BUT.. if you know the address of the server 
and all the login information, you can do a DSNLess connection.

At my last job I used PHP on an IIS server to connect to a couple SQL Servers 
and an Oracle server using ADODB for PHP.

I posted about it ages ago.. here's a link to an archived message where I 
posted my DSN config file.  Down here it says Cargo System databases you'll 
find examples that might help.   Sorry to be vague, but hopefully it's a start 
for you.  Once you get it configured, it should work fairly fluidly.

[PHP-DB] SELECT Performance and INDEXing

2005-08-10 Thread Dwight Altman
I have a MyISAM table holding images with field types bigint(20), mediumblob, 
varchar(255), blob and tinyint(3).  The table has grown to over 800 MB and over 
6,000 rows.  In the past week, performance has been about 15-20 seconds to run 
the following select statement which pulls only 16 maximum rows:

SQL1) SELECT field1, field2, andUpToField10 FROM theTable WHERE field2 = 
$aField2Value OR field1 = 1 OR field1 = 2 ORDER BY field1 ASC

Basically I always pull the first 2 images in the table via the primary key 
field1 and upto 14 additional images depending on a foreign key field2.  field2 
can have up to 14 repeated/duplicate entries.

My working solution is that I have since split this into 2 select statements:
SQL2) SELECT field1, field2, andUptoField10 FROM theTable WHERE field1 = 1 OR 
field1 = 2 ORDER BY field1 ASC
SQL3) SELECT field1, field2, andUptoField10 FROM theTable WHERE field2 = 
$aField2Value ORDER BY field1 ASC
and performance is back to instantaneous (as far as web responsiveness is 
concerned).

Can someone explain why SQL1 took so long to run as compared with running SQL2 
and SQL3 ?

Before splitting the statements, I also tried from phpmyadmin (Check table, 
Aalyze table, Optimize table) and creating an INDEX on field2, but I noticed no 
performance increase.  Before explicitly adding an INDEX, the space usage in 
phpmyadmin already showed Type:Index using several bytes.  The table still has 
the INDEX I explicitly created.

Can someone explain to me INDEXing ?  I was thinking of field2 and field3 for 
an INDEX (since field3 holds a number from 1 - 14 and the composite key field1 
field2 would be unique), but I seem to be home free already.  I would just 
like to know why performance slowed and then why it improved with my 
solution.

Regards.
