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.

Inserting Image Into MySQL Database
I understand that this is not the best way to use images and databases, but that is how the database is designes. So that is how i have to do it. when i try it with the syntax: INSERT INTO image_source(id, file_name, mime_type, image_data) VALUES (13, 's620.jpg', 'image/gif', 'C:Inetpubwwwroots620.jpg') I dont get any errors, but it doesnt insert the image either... The image_data coulmn is of type blob as it is supposed to be, so im not sure what is going wrong here...

Importing ODBC Database Directly Into MySQL
I'm trying to import a database from SPSS into mySQL. SPSS has an ODBC driver and this has seemed to work. For example, I can access this via Microsoft Access. However, I want to avoid any commercial software and so would like to import it directly via the mySQL command line. Is this possible? I know that via mysqlfront you can import an ODBC table into mySQL, but that is commercial software and I only want this one function. So is there any syntax or anything I can type in the command line to import an ODBC database?

One Big Database Or A Lot Of Small Ones?
My boss is implementing a system where a lot of different sites will be using the same exact database structure. He has it in his head that things would be simpler with one database shared by hundreds, possibly thousands of sites. I feel like each site deserves it's own database, even if it involves more maintainence.

Small Database, High Load
I have a very heavy mysql database used website. Data is constantly being updated and at peak there is well over 1,000 people online, after it hits the 1,000 mark, the website starts to lag pretty bad. My database is only small at around 90mb. We have a web server for the files, and a database server for the database. The load on the web server is fine. But the database server is pretty high. Would replication reduce lag and load? if i was too add a second database server?

Image Files On A Database
I'd like to know if it is possible to save an object (such as an image) embedded in a field of a table. I want to build a table where i can save information about products and an image (photo) for each product. I've heard about blob fields, are they the answer to my problem?

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. 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).

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?

InnoDB Not Inserting In Database
I have a jsp form that does a simple insert into a database with InnoDB tables. I need this because of foreign keys and such. Below the form on the same page is a list which does a select on the same table the insert goes. So you insert one thing, the page refreshes and you see your insert in the list. That happens! BUT there is nothing inserted in the database. So i think the results that I see are stored in the session of the page or something (hash or something, i dunno). When i try the same with a MyIsam database it inserts fine. I've already set global transaction levels to READ-COMMITTED (what I understand from the manual is that this is what i need), I've set that by command line and also in my.ini file (restarted the server too). The select@@global.transaction_level; shows that it is set good. Need I to do something with auto commit also? I really don't understand that chapter, is it supposed to be on, off, set to 1 or what, for what i need?

Inserting Special Characters Into MySQL Database
I am trying to add products to one of my clients' online shops and in the past it's all gone fine. I have a PHP script which handles a CSV file upload, digests the rows and inserts the data into a number of tables. The upload I did today seemed fine until I realised that certain products have appeared with a ? in the name or description where there shouldn't be. Checking in the CSV, I find that the client has added a few hundred new products whose names include 'Hahnemühle Albrecht Dürer' (the product supplier) and other products whose names &/or descriptions include the micron symbol 'µ'. As you've probably guessed, the characters which are being replaced are ü and µ. FYI, the site is still using MySQL 3.23.58 - I know it's old but we've just persuaded the client into a new .NET and MSSQL site re-design starting in a couple of weeks and we'll be dicthing that server so upgrading isn't an option. I guess that I would be doing a search and replace for these characters in PHP (by ascii code?) and then inserting into the database. Then doing the reverse when displaying the product on the page?

Handler_read_rnd_next = 13k On SMALL Db
I have two very small DBs. One for a little number game, which only 6 people hit 1-3 times a day. The other is for a prototype of a game I'm working on, and there are no more than 3 users on this. Using phpmyadmin, I check the page with runtime info and I see Handler_read_rnd_next 13 k If I reload this page a couple times, it goes up to 14k. Most of the queries I use look like Code: SELECT c.color, b.percent FROM tbl_creatures a, tbl_creatures_colors b, tbl_colors c WHERE a.creature_id =1 AND a.creature_id = b.creature_id AND b.color_id = c.color_id And the EXPLAIN SQL for these comes up with Code: id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra 1 SIMPLE a const PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 const 1 Using index 1 SIMPLE b ref PRIMARY,color_idPRIMARY 4 const 2 1 SIMPLE c eq_ref PRIMARY PRIMARY 4 hq_proto_creatures.b.color_id 1 To me, this all looks fine. I can't tell if all the Handler_read_rnd_next is due to the phpmyadmin status checks or not.

Small Databases
I am wondering if having a database for the client back office, a database for the static website and a database for website stats would be a good idea. The client database would hold credit card info, user info, reg info, project info, client messages and more. The website database would carry all the content for the pages of the public website like about us, contact, home page, news and such. The website stats database would keep track of user agents, new hits, returning hits, keyword searches made on the client websites and all that jazz. Should I make this all ONE giant database or three smaller database?

One Big Table Or Many Small Ones?
I am designing an interactive website consisting of a few pages and I want to track individual user progress. I was wondering if it would be better to create one big table for all values on all pages (Which may have a lot of columns, easily hundred or more), or created a separate table for each page (so I could have some 10 tables with 10 columns or more). Or does it not matter?

Small Query Optimization
I need this query optimized using indexes. So I was wondering how I could optimize it to work with an index for speed.The query is: Quote: select ided from products where dates <= 2006-11-11 or cost=0.00 or url not like 'http://%' or imgurl not like 'http%' I tried making an index on (dates,cost,url,imgurl) but it doesn't seem to use the index when I do the explain part. I find that even when I miss of the like parts of the query it still is not using the index. It seems to not use the index because of the "or" that is used in the query instead of the "and". Could this be the reason and how could I over come this so that it will use the index.

Small Favor Gone Wrong
I have a VPS account and I am trying to move my sister's professional organizations site onto my server more or less as a favor (getting paid a little - but not really worth my time). It is being hosted by a professional hosting company that supplied me with ftp access to download the site for the move. I am running into a problem because I don't know how to set-up/use mySQL through UNIX. Previously I have used the Plesk interface provided with my VPS account. Plesk (or at least my hosting services configuration of it) won't allow me to create the user I need in order to import the database because the user ID is contained within the user PW. (this is the database coming from the vendor). The original host has been unhelpful at best so I thought before I go to them and ask for assistance (that I am pretty sure I won't get anyway) that I would post here to find out if there is any easy way through this roadblock or if any the unix commands are simple enough, how I would proceed that way.

One Big Query Vs Lots Of Small Queries
I am in the process of migrating a MySQL database from one schema to another and am writing a script to extract the info from one table to be inserted into multiple tables on new new db.
