How To Reset MySQL Database
I am a new user of "Yahoo Small Business" web hosting service and I changed
a lot of settings in my "MySQL Database" using "phpMyAdmin" utility during my
learning period. Now, I want to reset my Yahoo Small Business MySQL Database
to default settings or to reinstall it (I want it to be the same as it was newly
activated). As you can see, I can not control the server, so I have to do this
only by scripts or commands.
Please Note: I tried to repair my database with Yahoo's "Database Setup" page
and the message "Database scheduled for repair" appeared for a few days but
nothing happened. And, I can not login to my database using phpMyAdmin utility.

Reset Database
I have built a database with a Primary Key / Auto Increment. I have been doing loads of testing with adding and deleting records. Now I need to delete all of the test records, and put the database on a live website. Is there anyway to reset the Primary Key back to 1. Now when I have deleted all the records, the Primary Key uses the next number from when the records existed.

Cause Of MySQL Auto_increment Reset?
We've got a site which was moved off of our servers and now is having problems on a monthly basis and the site owners are asking for our help. :P The server they moved the site to is a virtualized Linux server on an MS Windows server, using something like VMWare or similar to run the Linux environment in. The server is running with MySQL 4.1.20 on it. Originally when the database was imported the auto increment data on a critical table somehow didn't get set so since only a portion of their site is updated on a semi-monthly basis via MySQL, no one noticed for a couple of months that occassionally the wrong data popped up. The current month's data index was deleted each month and recreated with brand new data, but the index stayed the same. After the increment was reintroduced to the table, it somehow got reset to something far below the next auto_increment value in the table. I've been messing around under the mysql CLI and phpMyAdmin to atmysqlt to even set an auto_increment value below the current one and can't do it (even though it tells me success). I tried manually setting the auto increment, deleting, setting, then re-adding the auto_increment index, as well as other things but with data in the table, it never changes to anything other than what the auto_increment should be. Removing the data, changing the auto_increment index, then re-inserting the data is also a no-go in terms of messing up the auto_increment to be less than the indexed data values. I've never seen the auto_increment itself break in MySQL before although I've had to fix corrupt tables before. This only seems to happen after the virtual Linux server is restarted. According to another consultant this client uses: > Auto Increment is a MySQL table feature that picks the > next available index number to use. Recycling of unused index numbers is > a feature that has been removed from newer major releases. Having used MySQL since 3.x I've never heard of this "recycling" before. What can break the auto_increment like this? (corruption?)

How To Reset Next Autoindex
Need a hand figuring out how to reset the next autoindex value in MySQL v 4.1.21. I have a sessions table which gets a lot of inserts. The record id field is an autoincrement integer unsigned (nothing unusual there). Simply "DELETE from sessions WHERE expiry < CURRENT_TIME" does empty the table if all sessions have expired, but of course the auto index value is not reset. As a result, the value of the id is getting quite large. Now, I know I can simply "TRUNCATE sessions", however, to do this safely I need to single thread access to the sessions table, check that all sessions have expired, then perform the truncation. However, TRUNCATE will not work on a locked table. Code:

Reset Root PW
I am using Fedora 7 with mySQL 5. something... I accidentally messed up the root password when setting mySQL up and need help... I set the password to... well... i don't know what its set to... I have followed the following steps but have a few errors... I will put them at the end: 1. Log on to your system as either the Unix root user or as the same user that the mysqld server runs as. 2. Locate the .pid file that contains the server's process ID. The exact location and name of this file depend on your distribution, hostname, and configuration. Common locations are /var/lib/mysql/, /var/run/mysqld/, and /usr/local/mysql/data/. Generally, the filename has the extension of .pid and begins with either mysqld or your system's hostname. You can stop the MySQL server by sending a normal kill (not kill -9) to the mysqld process, using the pathname of the .pid file in the following command: Code:

How To Reset Last_insert_id();
I use the the following notation to "SELECT last_insert_id();" for getting the next id in my database to do some data testing. The problem now is that if I have about 788 rows of valid data and deleted 200 rows of test data, my "next" id when I do "SELECT last_insert_id();" would not be 788. The id numbers continue to be large as if I didn't get rid of that junk data.

Reset Root Password
I have searched on several forums on how to reset the root password for MySQL. Keep in mind, I am NOT a SQL programmer at all. I have been taking a stab at getting a phpbb up and running. I did all of this on a desktop machine running apache, php, phpbb, & mysql. Now that the site is up and running, I want to move my database over to my server using phpadmin, but it requires that I know the root password. I typically use 2 different passwords, both of which I tried and can't get root access. I don't understand what happened. Can someone let me know what the exact commands are to reset the password? Yes I am a dummy when it comes to this

AUTO_INCREMENT Reset On DB Restart
I am working on webapp and multiple users can modify data in the same table. When database is empty and MYSQL is restarted AUTO_INCREMENT indexes do reset (I am using 4.026-debug). Scenario: User A enters some data in table and goes to lunch User B views data, decides to delete record (by auto-inc index), marks record on UI and goes for lunch. User A comes back and decides he was wrong with data entered. He cleans table and enters other data. Someone for some reason restarts MYSQL User B comes from lunch and clicks Delete (on already selected record)... Boom. Wrong record is deleted. What to do? The only thing I can think of is never keep the table empty. But this is insane.

Reset Root Password Or?
I have inherited the job of updating our company's method of generating worksheets for employees. it uses .asp pages that pulls info from mysql to fill the pages. The problem is twofold, first i'm stupid on mysql and asp, but learning. second nobody knows the password for the mysql service and to make matters worse the server is continually used and i will have to stop ther service for some time to update the database. i guess first i need to be able to get in to mysql so if anybody can let me know in plain english what to do to reset or find the password that would be great, i tried the instructions in the manual with no results. of course it doesnt help with 60 people complaining that the server is down while i am trying to do it either. The mysql version is 4.0.21 if that matters. I installed mysqladmin and cant log in as root without password, i can log in as mysql without passowrd but not enough privelages.

Too Many Connections Error—Shouldn't It Reset?
A friend of mine has been getting a "Too many connections" error on his vBulletin forum (the entire site is throwing up a database error; nothing works) since he tried using a MySQL backup script. I occasionally got this error on my own board from increased traffic, but it always went away and things returned to normal. This is not the case for him, and his host won't fix it on the weekends. What, exactly, has to be done here? Does the database somehow have to be reset? Why are things *still* (even with the backup script disabled) going wrong?

Autoincrement Reset After Deletion Of Records?
Say I got 20 records in a MYSQL DB. I go into PHPMyAdmin and drop (it's that "X" icon) the last three (3) records. Then I run a PHP script to add 3 records to the DB. I have an autoincrement PK field and I'm using mysql_insert_id to add fields in other tables subsequently...Well, the auto-increment starts at 21. Here's my question: What would be the method to just at the end (ie. 18-20) "really" delete those "ghost" records or reset somehow so that auto-increment knows to start at 18 again.?

How To Reset Auto_increment Without Truncating Table?
I log hits on a site that gets a descent amount of traffic. Each night, the hit data is aggregated from the day before into a separate table to keep things managable. Note that I do not truncate the table because I do not want to delete any hits I've accumulated since midnight. So, while the number of rows in the table reaches only a few thousand a day, the auto_increment keeps going up and could, theoretically, reach a max value within the site's lifetime. My next question is if there is a way to reset the auto_increment within the MySQL query syntax WITHOUT truncating the table or doing a manual manipulation.

Auto AUTO_INCREMENT Reset Behaviour
As you may already know MySQL does NOT auto reset the AUTO_INCREMENT value to be as low as possible when the highest record is deleted. You need to do an update explicitly, in hopes of lowering it.

Auto Increment Reset After 2147483647?
Using MySQL database, how can I get it to reset the auto increment for an int field after it hits 2147483647? I believe that it is unlikely that my database logs will hit that any time soon, but I did a quick test by inserting 99999999 and I got 2147483647 as an ID number. It didn't start recounting when I did an insert after that - it only said that there was a duplicate id. The quickest way that I could think of to get the database working again was to delete the table and recreate it. Is there another way to get auto increment to reset?

Renumber / Reset Autoincrement Field
I have a table with an autoincrement field and a couple other fields. The table has about 100 rows of data. After deleting a few rows, the autonumber field is not sequential anymore (i.e. it has holes from where I deleted the data). Any way to renumber the autoincrement field? (i know this can break dependencies on other tables, but this table is isolated). Related question: when I add new fields to a table which has these "holes", is there a way to have the holes filled instead of appending to the table?

Database Transfer Between Oracle 8 Database And MySQL Database
Is it somebody out there who has made a migration from an Oracle server to an MySQL server?? The scenario is as simply: I've got a Oracle 8 server with a database with content that I want to transfer to a MySQL database. No special data, constraints etc that MySQL not will handle. My solution is to reverse engineer the database from ERStudio and then produce a SQL script that will insert the data into the MySQL engine. But I can't do this, because the customer want me to do a PL/SQL script that does this, even if he never have worked with Oracle.. So the question is.. Do someone know a simplier way to do this or do I have to teach myself PL/SQL and make a script that produces a MySQL sql script ?
