All Swedish Characters Is Changed
I'm doing Kevin Yanks tutorial about how to manage users with session (with some small modifications). But when the data is inserted into the table all Swedish characters is changed to some strange "¥" and "¶". Why is it so and how to fix it? According to PHPAdmin the collation is either UTF-8 (db) or Latin1_swedish (table)?

Changed User Privileges And Now I Can't Log In
I read several web sites and O'Reilly's book on MySQL about securing the system tables. I removed several users and, as advised inthe book and web sites, changed the user "root" to another name with another password. I removed the site name as a host but kept the IP address. Now when I use phpMySdmin to get back in, it let's me past the login popup BUT it gives me the message: Error MySQL said: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) The data in the database is not important but the database structure/definition is. I'd like to find a way to back up or dump that. Then I can reload MySQL and start over.

User Information Changed
The other day someone changed every user's password on my site. Then they changed every user's email address to theirs - I assume the reason was that when the user used the password reset function, they would never see the information. I'm trying to research what/where the vulnerability is in the script that I'm suing, but I don't really know where to start - not being a hacker, I don't even know the terms to search for here or on google. Is this what is meant by mysql injection?

Float(m,n) Changed Between Mysql 4.0 And 5.0?
I have a float(11,10) field (default NULL) in one of my MyISAM tables. With MySQL 4.0.16, I can call an Update/Insert query with a value of , say 33.166668 to this field, and it updates correctly. When I retrieve that value again with a select statement, I get something like 33.1666668392 (10 digits after decimal). Which is correct. (The sql_mode server variable is set to 0) With the same field in MySQL 5.0, my experience is different. With the server sql_mode set to one of the strict values( SQL_TRANS_STRICT), i get an error about out of range value for the float field. when I change the sql_mode to not have the SQL_TRANS_STRICT, I get the same error as a warning, 1264 "Out of range...". When I retrieve this value, it is set to 10.0000000000, which is wrong. But , when I change the field description to float(11,5) and do an update, the value is updated right, but I get an intermittent "No rows updated" error. Could anybody please explain if the float definitions changed between versions? Does float(m,n) now mean that I can have only (m-n) digits before decimal point?

Datetime Field Changed After ALTER
To archive when a row is added, I have a column called date_added which uses the data type DATETIME. I recently added a new column to my table "ALTER TABLE mytable ADD COLUMN mycolumn INT", and my stored dates have all been changed. In hindsight, was this to be expected? I am using PHP to both push data into MySQL and pull data from MySQL. To prevent such future blunders, is it good practice to store dates as CHAR data type, and actively store the date using PHP?

Replication :: Master Log File Position Changed
I have a simple master/slave replication environment that is working smoothly with one exception. If I restart the master server the Master Log File is incremented by one (e.g. the original master log is named data-bin.000001 and the new master log is named data-bin.000002) the slave server never notices that the Master Log File and the Master Log Position have changed. Instead, the slave sits there waiting for new entries in the old Master Log File. I can tell this by executing a SHOW SLAVE STATUS on the slave server. I am not sure about this because I can't find any documentation on the proper behavior of mysql during this scenario, however, I am under the impression that slave server should be able to figure this out and continue replicating, without requiring me to execute an "CHANGE MASTER..." command on the slave server every time the master is restarted. Of course, I assume this same problem will occur when the Master Log File grows to its maximum size and a new Master Log File is created. If anybody who has experience with mysql replication could just confirm that the behavior I am seeing is not correct, that would be great. Or if anybody has any suggestions as to what, if anything, is wrong with my setup. Code:

String Error - Quotes Changed To Question Marks
I recently converted an asp/access site to an asp/mysql site. Now all my strings are displaying funky. For example if I have the text - Why don't we say "Yipee" - it displays on my site as - Why don?t we say ?Yipee?. The same change is being made when I use a sentence with "..." in it. I like ... baseball is changed to - I like?baseball. Any thoughts as to why this is happening? Sometimes it is actually being changed somehow in the database, and sometimes it is correct in the database, but then changed when it displays on the web.

Mysql Appears To Have Changed The 'password' Function Hashing
I've been using Mysql for about 6 months but in fairly basic fashion. For a cms I have built, I have a users table, with userName and password fields. An admin can create new users, and the password is hashed using the PASSWORD() function. SQL: "INSERT INTO users VALUES ('', '$userName', PASSWORD('$userPwd')) Straight out of the book basically. Now the problem is that all this has been functioning fine on a couple of sites on external servers, plus a couple of local machines. Until today, on my main dev machine - yesterday a user could log in, today they couldn't. As far as I can tell, nothing has changed. But when I look at the hashes in the database table, they are 41 chrs, and when I add a new user, the hash is 16 characters. I know that at some stage the hash length was increased between mysql versions, but I have not updated the install (I run XAMPP for Windows 1.4.14, which appears to install php 5.0.4 and mysql 4.1.12) Is there any other reason that the hash length could change to 16? I'd like to know why this happened so that I'm prepared if it happens on the server (where it is not so easy to hack in and add new users that can log in again)

Special Characters :: French Characters
Sometime ago I posted a message about MySQL not dealing with characters other than the very basic set. It cannot deal with french characters such as é and à. It just ignores them and whatever is after.It seems to be a 4.2 issue, as I think they changed the way MySQL deals with character sets.I cannot resolve the problem. I cannot store characters in MySQL other that the basic set of english characters. Anyone had to cope with this issue before??

Non-English Characters
My company's enterprise directory is supposed to store all data fields in English.Before the data standards were implmented, many of the HR systems that fed data into the ED were sending some fields with a combination of English and non-English characters. I want to identify records with erroneous characters so we can ask the HR systems to re-send the correct English-only values. So... I've exported a list of all users in the ED into a MySQL table called 'users'. I would like to write a query that will return all records where the 'givenname' field contains one or more characters outside of [a-z] and [A-Z]. I know I have to use REGEXP, but I can't figure out how to find any record where one or more non-English characters exists in the 'givenname' field.

Swedish Characters
I thought that working with swedish characters would be easy, but since I'm working with MySQL 4.1 that's not the case any more. First thing I noticed (emditly) was an application that I've written in Qt showd rubbish in the QDataTable where there should be swedish characters. So I took a look in the database using the 'mysql' client app, but using this, all is good? So I made a 'mysqldump -u xx -pxx dbname < cazzo.sql' and took a look in the .sql file, but again the swedish characters were rubbish. I've really tried a lot of thing to solve this. E.g. changing the default-character-set to all kinds of values, creating new databases, etc etc. But I just can't get it. What am I missing?

Portuguese Characters
I'm having a bit of trouble with a database with Portuguese accents. On the main site, the accents show up fine - so all the content is being read from the database properly. The problem is, when you access the database using phpMyAdmin, where there are normally characters with accents there is bits of garbled text. I'm assuming that this is an issue with the character sets and/or collations? What would be the best way to fix this?

Reading UTF-8 Characters
According to phpmyadmin, my server is set to MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) and the collation is utf8_general_ci. My database has the same collation, and in one table I have some Japanese characters. They enter into the table ok and can see them. However when I connect to the database via a php page and read the values they just appear as '?????' I have tested just using a php echo to print some japanese characters on the same page and that works fine. Thats why I think its something to do with reading the characters from the database. Is there something obvious I am missing? I have tried googling and searching on these forums but nothing seems to work. It's quite discouraging

Non-latin Characters
I am trying to store non-latin characters, basically utf8 characters in the database such as arabic, thai, etc. I have done basically everything I could and when I select the non-latin characters from the database, I get a bunch of question marks such as: ?????? I set the database default character set to utf8 when creating the database. My table collation is utf8_general_ci. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. When I pass the non-latin characters as a form value or url value, it is displayed correctly, but when I select them from the database it turns into a bunch of question marks in my app. When I view the data from phpmyadmin, it shows some of the characters as squared boxes. Does anybody know what I am possibly doing wrong? How can I store arabic, thai, and other language text in the mysql database and select it?
