MYSQL :: Changing The Default Date

Changing A Default Value
i have a column that originally assigned a default integer value (1) to a column that contains about 1000 records. now, i'd like to replace all those with an incremented value. i figured out how to change it so newly added data is incremented, but cant seem to figure out the command to go back and change all data from the beginning so that it is now incremented.

Changing Default Security Settings
MySql is running fine. Installed Joomla fine.
phpMyAdmin gives the following warning:
"Your configuration file contains settings (root with no password) that correspond to the default MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole."
So, how to fix this in OS X?
When I changed the localhost password in MAMP before nothing worked anymore.

Changing Default Acceptable Number Of Connections
How can I change default number of acceptable connections? I am getting an error when deploying along with Java Web Application.

Exception :No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ); - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ))

I tried all possible ways from Java Side for checking all the connections are closed when done etc. I am still getting the same error. I just want to cross check if mySQL has got any default number of aconnections that it accepts e.g. Max 50 connections at a time and if it goes beyound that then it will give error...

I just want to know if there is any setting which I can modify. If yes then how do I modify on Red Hat?

Changing The Default Time Zone Of A Current Timestamp In MySQL
I have a shared host which uses the time zone MST (GMT-7), and I cannot seem to change the time zone for my own database.

What is the best way to create a timestamp field in a table that has the default value be the current time in GMT-0?

Is setting the default value of the timestamp field to "DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL -7 HOUR)"

Default Date Format And Date Stamping
1.) If possible, change the default date format from YYYY-MM-DD to MM-DD-YYYY.

2.) Auto "date stamp" a newly created record (e.g. I have a field called "date_posted" and would like that field to be auto-filled with the date upon INSERT).

I'm using phpMyAdmin and MySQL version 5.1.30.

Changing Date
I have a table 'test' that has the date in a varchar field formatted like this: 12/05/83. I need to switch the date to this: 1983-12-05.

This is what I have so far:
UPDATE test
SET dateEntry = CONCAT( '19' , SUBSTRING_INDEX(dateEntry, '/', -1), '-', SUBSTRING_INDEX(dateEntry, '/', 2) )

which gives me: 1983-12/05.

I can't figure out how to change the / to a -

Is this a two-step conversion or is there a way to do it in one UPDATE statement?

Default Value On Date Column
Using MySQL control center, I created a MySQL database table with a
column of Date type. It always give the a Default value (0000-00-00)
even null is allowed. I tried remove the default value and it comes
back by itself.

So if I don't supply a value when insert, the default is used. Query
IS NOT NULL will not exclude this record.

Now, In VB (with ADO/MyOLEDB), I did the exact query trying to filter
out the null record. But I still get the record just like in Control
Center. BUT, the value on this column is "NULL".

How can I leave the Date field as null if no value is supplied?

Form Default Date
I have a MYSql database with an ASP VB form. I set up a text field and set the default value as: <%=date()%> but when I click the button to insert the record it tells me to check the sql error and lists my date field. My MySQL date type is date, not datetime. I am using Dreamweaver MX.

How do I set the default date so that it inserts correctly into mysql? Apparently I can't set the default value for the date field in the database structure because I link with an odbc driver.

Not Able Give Default Value For DATE Field
I would like to specify a default value for "DATE" datatype as a system
date. But i could find from the help tutorial, "default value cannot be
added for a DATE datatype". But i could specify in Oracle. I have found
below statment from the help documents.

"The DEFAULT value clause in a data type specification indicates a default
value for a column. With one exception, the default value must be a
constant; it cannot be a function or an expression. This means, for
example, that you cannot set the default for a date column to be the value
of a function such as NOW() or CURRENT_DATE. The exception is that you can
specify CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default for a TIMESTAMP column."

Why cant we use a functions or variable values in date? Is this the
limitation or didnot explore this functionality yet?
Is this limitation applicable for only DATE type or any other datatypes?

I have such a situation to use this "default" feature for a date column
with value as system date.

is there a way to do that?

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table.

I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time.

Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

Changing Max
I'm using MySQL server, community edition 5.0.18-nt installed on localhost.
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?.

Changing The Value In A Specific Row
i have a forum that i am trying to add a username kind of thing to. what i have done so far is to set up a table that has three coloumns in it, USERNAME, PASSWORD, and STAT, of which stat is a boolean value that i use to determine if they are logged in or not (what i intend for it to be), and the other two are pretty self explanatory. my question is is there a way for me to get into this specific row and change the value stored inside STAT, or is my only choice to completely delete this row then re-enter it into the table everytime stat has to change? thanks guys. btw good forum you have here

Index: Changing The Name
Is there an easy way to change the name of an index, without having to drop it and create a new one?
I know how to find the index name in the information_schema.statistics table, but these seems more reflective. If I were to change the name here, that doesn't really change the name of the index, does it?
Is there a SQL statement to change the name of an index from one name to another?

Results Keep Changing
I have a site which lists the top 3 best pay sites.
Yesterday when i checked the top 3's (there are 3 of them)
i copy-pasted them in a document. After pressing refresh multiple times it stayed the same. However the next day when i checked the results had changed and no new votes had taken place.

This is my code:

SELECT service, count(service) voteQty, AVG(rating) AS rating FROM rate WHERE type = 'pt' GROUP BY service ORDER BY rating DESC, voteQty DESC LIMIT 3

thats for one of the 3 top 3's the other 2 are almost the same.
Why do my results keep changing?

Changing Platforms
Our company has been running MySQL 4.1 under MacOSX for about 3 years, hosting 6 InnoDB databases (semi-large, around 65GB total). The performance of the PowerPC Xserve is starting to slow us down, and we have just purchased a new server. However it will be an Intel / Windows based server.

We run 'mysqldumps' every night and I have restored them them to other OSX servers in the past. However now that its getting closer to production time, I've stumbled accross some "Case Sensitivity" questions about Windows.

If I understand correctly MacOSX (10.4) defaults to "lower_case_table_names=2"
The MacOSX file-system is NOT case-sensitive but the table names are created that way, but NOT actually stored/retrieved that way. When I do a 'show tables;' they are definitely 'Mixed Case'.

Also, I believe Windows defaults to "lowers_case_names=1", and the filesystem is NOT case-sensitive, and the tables are NOT case-sensitive.

On to the point....

When I restore the dumps onto Windows the tablenames become all lowercase.

This could be a potential problem, as I'm not sure how the software we use references the tables.

If I set lower_case_names=2 on windows and restore the mysqldumps, the table-names have the same 'Mixed Case' as they do on the mac ( show tables; ).
