I Can Connect With Db Password Or Blank Password
I have a password setup for root (% and localhost) in Mysql 5.0.26, I can connect ok no problem. I can also connect with blank password! I know it is checking the password cuz it fails if it's wrong.

I'm sure I have only one account as well (tried to delete, recreate, etc... no change)
select * from user where user='root';
| localhost | root | *F3AD8B3C44772C17F66767F29D948D9C255BD824 | Y ...
| % | root | *F3AD8B3C44772C17F66767F29D948D9C255BD824 | Y ...

Is there an option to accept blank password!? I have this problem only for root user; Other accounts are fine.

I installed mysql correctly I am assuming navigated to mysqlin and ran mysqladmin

C:Program FilesMySQLin>mysqladmin -u root -p password
Enter password: ***********
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES)'

I am unable to log on as root and change the password. It says leave the password blank by default. I still will not let me connect. Do I have to start mysql.exe and type the mysql admin -u root from there

Blank Password When Restarting The Machine
I mainly use MySQL Administrator to create/update table/users/etc. And I noticed that whenever I restart my machine (Windows 2003 Server with MySQL database running) and login to the MySQL Administrator, it takes blank or wrong password for any user account including root. So I end up resetting my root password. Does anyone know why it keeps happening?

When Restarting The Service, Blank Password
When I stop the service and restart the server, it takes blank/wrong password for any user account including root. Only after I reset the password for root, then the passwords for all the other accounts work fine. What is causing this problem? I don't have the root with % host. And all users under user table in mysql database has passwords set.

About Changing Password
I ran;

mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON mail.* TO 'mail_admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'oldpassword';
creating password

Now I need changing its password whether to run;
mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE user="'mail_admin'@'localhost'";

Then where to put mail.* ? It is NOT a database.

Changing Password As User
I get an "ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table
" when I try to change my own password as a logged in user. According to the manual it should be SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('newpass'); is this due to the wildcards in my allowed host? Or is the syntax different from what is in the manual?
My server version is 4.1.14, client programms seems unimportant, the error stays the same with matching mysql commandline client, perl DBI or mysql querybrowser.

Fails Changing Root Password
I have MySQL 5 up and running on a FreeBSD 6.3 host to which I connect with SSH.

I'd like to change the MySQL root password, but it fails:

# mysqladmin -u root -p oldpassword newpassword
Enter password:
mysqladmin: Unknown command: 'oldpassword'

Is this due to some security measure, or maybe something specific to the MySQL available in the FreeBSD Ports collection that could explain this?

Test For A Null Or Blank
Please look at this sql:

SELECT name, visual_no, type_aid, aid_topic1, aid_topic2, aid_topic3,
length,
date_format(when_made, '%m-%d-%y') as when_made,
reserved, date_format(res_beg, '%m-%d-%y') as res_beg,
date_format(res_end, '%m-%d-%y') as res_end,
notes, no_check, check_out,
ge.genreid, gen_short_description, sb.subjectid,
sub_short_description, specificid,
spe_short_description
FROM aids ad, tbl_genre ge, tbl_subjects sb, tbl_specific_subject ss
WHERE aid_id=1280
AND (aid_topic1 = ge.genreid
OR aid_topic1 is null)
AND (aid_topic2 = sb.subjectid OR aid_topic2 is null)
AND (aid_topic3 = specificid OR aid_topic2 is null)

This is for an audio visual library (dvd, vhs, etc.) The database for record 1280 (and many others) contains in the genreid a number (it has data in other words). aid_topic2 and and aid_topic3 are either blank or have the word [NULL] in the field. I am using MySQLCC, if this matters.

This SQL brings back a cartesian product. if I just keep the SQL without the ORs it will not bring back a row because there isn't always an equality between the main table and the lookup tables. Sometimes the main table has a row that has no value in the topics and therefore does not equal the lookup table. I did not design the table. I inherited it.

Ignoring Blank Fields
Im having a problem where im allowing the user to identify a row by 1 of 2 unique fields. The problem i have is that my current query states to either take a OR b...
so my query looks like this. a = $a OR b = $b

Now these unique fields can also contain a result of null. Which means that im returned with more than 1 result when only 1 of the unique fields is entered. Is there a way of escaping results that contain null in either of the fields?

Parent_id: NULL, Blank Or 0
My categories table looks like this:

category_id
category_name
category_parent_id
custom_category_name
custom_category_parent_id

I will be using COALESCE to get the first non NULL value when I query category_name, category_parent_id, custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id like so:

MySQL
SELECT category_id,
COALESCE(custom_category_name, category_name) AS category_name,
COALESCE(custom_category_parent_id, category_parent_id) AS category_parent
...

I have set the default value of custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id to NULL.

category_id and category_name will always be present.

But what should I set for category_parent_id? Sometimes it won't have a value (when the category is a parent category) and sometimes it will have a value.

Should I set category_parent_id's default value as NULL or 0 or blank?

Blank Columns Or Separate Tables
I have a form with 8 fields, 4 of which are required and 4 are not.
Usually if a field isn't required I would create a separate table for it
rather than having a blank value in the table where required values
would go. In this case, I'm not sure if I should put all the not
required fields in one table or separate tables. Since any one of them
can be or not be blank.

I'm trying to find a balance between normalization and practicality for
the database, as well as programming.

So, are columns with blank values acceptable to a certain number? Are 4
separate tables too many, so that there aren't any blanks in a column if
they were in one table?

Statement Results In Blank Page
I'm constructing a blog for my site. After I got nowhere trying to automatically configure dd-mm-yyyy dates on the fly, I decided just to write the dates manually and order the posts by automatically incremented id instead.

However, in constructing my monthly archive pages I've come up against a problem. Here is the PHP I'm using to get the info from the database:


$blog = mysql_query ("SELECT title, content, date FROM blog WHERE date IN ('August 2005') ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10") or die(mysql_error());


The date column in my table is VARCHAR and all the entries so far contain the characters August 2005 but all I get is a blank page. I'm using this while loop to display the results:


while ($entry = mysql_fetch_array($blog)){
echo '
<p class="blogdate">
'. $entry['date'] .'
</p>
<h2>'. $entry['title'] .'</h2>
<div class="blog">
'. $entry['content'] .'

PHP Script Inserting Blank Text Into MYSQL
Have been following a tutorial which has following line in PHP script to
write text form Flash form into an MYSQL DB and then redisplay it back in
the form

Relevant code is:

$Connect = mysql_connect($DBhost, $DBuser, $DBpass) or die("News=Uh Oh,
Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($DBName, $Connect);
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (UserName, News, TimeAdd) VALUES
('$UserName', '$EnterNews', '$Today')", $Connect);
Print "Status=News has been added";

When I execute this web file only the $Today string is updated correctly
into DB.
$UserName & $EnterNews which are text fields from the flash form are
blank/null entries into MYSQL DB
If I manually change data in field via MYSQL console each field is displayed
correctly so my read script seems to work.

Can anyone point me in correct direction to solve this one. Is it the way I
have connected to MYSQL or should I be looking closer at the flash form.

Mysql Password() & Unix Crypt Password...
I am creating a user administration system where system administrator
can activate services for a user, like webspace, a mail account or a
subdomain.

I now want to create a function that creates mysql databases and grant
the right privileges to a user. But the problem is that mysql wants to
have the plaintext password for the user in the "grant ... identified by
'pwd'" field, or in a manual query to update the password in the
mysql.user table with PASSWORD('pwd').

I have another database which holds the passwords for the users, these
password are stored the moment a user signs up and are used to activate
services, for example ssh access to the machine. The stored passwords
are encrypted using crypt(). So for adding a ssh service to a user, I
simply do echo "$user:$pwdhash" | chpasswd -e.

I have chosen crypt because some programs (like proftpd) don't take md5
sums.

The problems is that I don't have the plaintext password. So I cannot
add a mysql db.

So I need to create a user in mysql with a crypt password.
I tried to just "grant all privileges ... identified by 'nothing'"
and then afterwards update the mysql.user table and putt the crypt
password in there but it doesn't work like that.

Does anyone have any idea on how I could fix this, how can I create a
user in mysql without having his plaintext password and only having a
crypt hash of it.

I thought about not only storing a crypt hash, but also an md5 hash and
a mysql PASSWORD() hash.. but I think that's an ugly solution.

Return 1 Row With Concatenated String (was "Really Easy But My Minds Gone Blank")
I'm creating a website for my local American Football team and the database structure is as follows:

CREATE TABLE players
(
`PlayerId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
`Jersey` tinyint unsigned,
`FirstName` varchar(12),
`LastName` varchar(20),
`ContactNumber` varchar(12),
`Email` varchar(40),
PRIMARY KEY(`PlayerId`)
);

CREATE TABLE playerposition
(
`PlayerId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
`PositionId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PlayerId`, `PositionId`)
);

CREATE TABLE positions
(
`PositionId` tinyint unsigned NOT NULL,
`PosAbbr` varchar(3) NOT NULL,
`PosLong` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`PositionId`)
);
Now each player can play a multitude of positions say PlayerA can play QB, RB and TE. My query is as follows:

SELECT pl.PlayerId, Jersey, FirstName, LastName, PosAbbr
FROM players pl, playerposition pp, positions po
WHERE pl.PlayerId = pp.PlayerId
AND pp.PositionId = po.PositionId
Now it will return 3 rows for PlayerA, 1 row for each position they play. What I want it to return is 1 row with a concatenated string of their positions something like QB/RB/TE. My mind has just gone blank. Can anybody enlighten me on this.

I'm using the Dot Net connector drivers on client side within a Dotnet application.
I am migrating selected parts of my Microsoft SQL Server database to mysql. One of the tables is my images table which contains BLOB fields that may be quite large.
While trying to import records to this table, I receive the error "Unable to write to stream".
A google search revealed the following page http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,47230,47230
I fixed it with "set global max_allowed_packet=268435456;"
How can i view what the current max_allowed_packet size is?
At some time in the near future we'll be using a MySQL server version of our database in the field. It's very very likely that I'll completely forget that this value needs changing when MySQL is installed on client machines. If this value CAN be set in an option file that I can add to an install, which one is it please?.
