MYSQL :: How To Insert Images Directly Into Mysql Table

How Do I Bulk Insert The Images/pictures
I use Deltascripts PHP Classifieds (v6.12)

We have a customer that wants to upload 800 ads to our database.
I believe they're going to deliver the ads in excel/csv format.
That's ok.
But what about the ads images?

How do I bulk insert the images/pictures and associate each picture to the pre-bulk-inserted ads?

Table Picture structure:
id int(4)
del int(11)
pictures_siteid
bin_data longblob
filename varchar(50)
filesize varchar(50)
filetype varchar(50)
imagew varchar(10)
imageh varchar(10)

Automatically Insert Uploaded Images
I've a program running on a local machine which
automatically pushes images from a camera to our webserver
(linux/mysql) through FTP. I want to store those images in the
database so I think I need some perlscript running as a deamon that
looks for new incoming images. I tried to find a script which does the
job but with no success. I've DBI::mysql installed. Does anybody have
some experience on this matter or is there another method to achieve
this.

MySQL Administrator Backup Directly To Local Database
In MySQL administrator is there a way to backup directly to my local database from a remote host. I would ideally have this done automatically once a day.

How To Connect Directly To Mysql Server Port (3306) Using TCP/IP Protocol
I want to develop an application in LabWindows/CVI (ANSI C developpment software for instrumentation) from which I could connect directly to mysql server port (3306) using TCP/IP protocol. This developpment environment allows me to use functions to connect, read and write to a certain port using TCP/IP protocol. I must say I'm new to using MySQL and I searched the manual without any response to my question.

Using MyISAM Directly
Has anybody had experience accessing MySQL tables via MyISAM library?
I'm working on an application that has to have both SQL-like and DBM-like
(file-level) access to the table data. I thought that using MyISAM
directly would be a good idea. If anybody has any better suggestions, I am
all ears.

Also, I was wondering if it's possible to use Berkeley DB tools and
libraries to access MySQL data files, which are set to use BDB as the
storage engine. If it is, can somebody point me at some examples (except
what's in the source already).

Update Value Directly In The Same Query
Is it possible to update a value directly, adding text to it, without getting it first, adding the text in php and then do the update.

for example:
value in field users: ",45,"

and then adding ,34, to the field directly by doing something like:
update table set users='users,34,'

so the value in the field afterwards will be ",45,,34,"?

Joining Tables Which Aren't Directly Related
I'm struggling to get my head round a SQL query and wonder if you might be able to help (I'm using MySQL version 4.1.20-1).

I have three tables: accounts, items and invoices.

CREATE TABLE accounts (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
...
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) ENGINE = InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE items (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
accounts_id INT UNSIGNED,
...
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (accounts_id) REFERENCES accounts (id) ON DELETE SET NULL
) ENGINE = InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE invoices (
id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
items_id INT UNSIGNED,
...
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (items_id) REFERENCES items (id) ON DELETE CASCADE
) ENGINE = InnoDB;
Each account can have multiple items and each item can have multiple invoices. Hope you're with me so far?

So here's the question. If I have an account ID, how do I get a list of invoice IDs for that account when accounts and invoices aren't directly related?

Inserting Small Image Directly Into Database
How do you insert an image into a table directly using something like data studio?
I have tried googling it and it seems all the examples are using a language to do it for you. The images are between 2-4k and the table is just an int column followed by a blob column. I just thought the statement would go like

INSERT INTO sometable VALUES (1,'image.jpg');

The web suggests uploading and downloading in PHP (which im using) but im building the data first using data studio then just displaying the table information using PHP.

Before i go into displaying the information on the page i just wanted to make sure the insert query is correct.

Images MYsql And PHP
even though I'm a newbie I have managed to set up a 5000 record database and retrieve information from that database and display it in my web browser. The information currently is only text but I would like to display a photo (maybe 2 photos) along with the text info.

I will only be displaying one record at a time...think of this as a photo database when the page loads it will display a photo and all the text information about the photo.

I have read many articles on the web about not storing images in your database that's it's better to store the URL to the image. That's fine by me I'll be glad to store them in a folder on the server.

But, in all the articles I've read I still haven't seen an expalnation on how to do this. So, can someone tell me how to the URL or hyperlink or whatever it is that will allow me to get an inage to display

Images In MySQL
I'm currently working on a site that needs to store a lot of images in the database.The database needs to be fully searchable by users, and the images need to be displayed on the site (have a look at the location search page at www.yorkshirelocations.co.uk for an idea)

I was wondering if anyone else has ever either stored actual images in the Database as a BLOB, or stored a reference to the images? if so which option would you recommend?

Alternatively has anyone ever used gallery software? I want to know if the gallery software will be able to serve the images relating to the search results from the database.

MYSQL Displaying Images
well at the moment i am making a site and what is happening is this there is a form that you fill out and submit to a database. Now with the form there is a thing to upload images, a headline form and a message form. The headline is first hten the image uploader then the message. This is the tricky part. Should i on the page with the form put an image uploader in the form page and make the image upload and reload the page with the img tags which submit to the database (Do Img tags allow you to show images in mysql?) Or does anyone know any better ways i can show the article with the image used. That way the image is still uploading to the server but the link of the image is stored in the database and can be pulled out in [img] tags (if they can be used)

Store Images In MySQL
I've looked around a bit before posting this, and overall I've discovered the means to store an image in a table via blobs, and take it back out and use it with PHP. I've discovered many users giving detailed descriptions as to why this is not a good idea, and overall I agree, BUT! I've been having the PHP problem where if I upload a file and store it onto my server with a form, the permissions are set such that nobody can delete those files aside from the superuser.

I suppose this is more a PHP question, in that I am asking how I should store a file such that I can have access to delete this file later, or if I should just try to store the file in SQL?

1 Simply Query Problem. Please Help With Insert Into 1 Table From Another Table
I have Table A that has some records already in and then I have Table B that does a few things and gets updated regularly.

With Table A, I want to get it updated every 8 hours or so with new data that has been inserted into Table B.

I will do this using the Cron.

But what would be the best insert query to use so that it does the process really quick.

The query that I have so far is:

Quote:

mysql_query("INSERT INTO table a (id, title, descrip) SELECT id, title, descrip FROM table b where app=1");

With the above query the id's match in both tables. But I only want the new records to be inserted into Table A where app=1 in Table B and the row is not already in Table A.

How can I add to the query so that it does this.

How Do I Use Images / Image Paths With MySQL?
how to set up tables and columns for text, numbers etc but want to know how I can include images.

I note that the MySQL manual says that the best way is not to store actual images in the database but just to store a reference to the location of the images in the file system.

What I need to know is what type of column should I use, and how should the reference be stored so that the information can be pulled from the database and into a webpage. For example do I need to store text showing the path - say ../images/product.jpg in the table?

Displaying Binary Images On Pages From Mysql?
On my site, my friend has made a news managment system, so that through mysql you can easily post news. Go to http://www.allsortshop.com/news to see.

In the /news folder i have index.php which is the main file, and article.php whcih is to display articles.

In the index.php, this is the php code that gets all the news from the database...

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE type=0 LIMIT 0 , 10");
if ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "<table>
";
do {
Printf("<tr><td><b>%s</b></td></tr><tr><td>%s <a href=article.php?read=$row2[id]>more...</a></td></tr><tr><td> </td></tr>", $row2[title], $row2[mini], $row2[id]);
}while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result));
}else{
echo "No News... Shocking!!!";
}
echo "</table>
";
?>

That displays news files, but it only displays an intro, then when you click more it goes to the full news article at /news/article.php?read=1

(in the article.php ive converted the id to read)

Then once on the page article.php?read=1 or read=2 depending on what id number the news article is in mysql, it then shows you the full story.

In the article.php this is the code at the very top of that page before the <html> tag...

<?php
$read = $_GET['read'];
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE id=$read");
$text = mysql_fetch_array($result);
?>

Then in the <body</body> tags of the article.php page i have...

<?php
echo ("<b>".$text['title']."</b>");
echo "<p>";
echo $text['full'];
?>

Now in the mysql this is my news table...

The thing is, i want to display all the images like image.php?id=1 or whatever and then on the news page, when you click more on an article and it takes you to article.php?read=1 then on the mysql table, on the row with id = 1 in it, it has an image at the end. I want to display that image in the article.php?read=1. And then on article.php?read=2, i want it to display the image on that one too which will be located at image.php?id=2.
