Packaging A MySQL Database With A Program


In writing a visaul basic database program with Access as the database you simply copy the database file into the packager and it is installed with your program on the target machine. I am guessing that with mysql, since it is a 'server' program, it is not that easy. Am I wrong? And where would I find information on this.

I have been working on a business accounting program and am a long way from finished, but I wanted something more robust than access as the database. I just need to know how to get the database to the target machine with my program.

Another Program To Access MySQL Database
I have a list of 8 rows by 11 columns that I exported from Excel into MySQL to populate my Database and that all made it through.

I am now trying to create a label with a label making program that will connect to a database. I have installed the ODBC 3.51 driver and tested the link and it finds the file.

When I try to open the database file from the label making program it says "Error Reading Record Fields", I click on details and it says "ODBC driver does not support dynasets."

I have no idea what a dynaset is or why it is an error???
Is there a way around this?

I can save the excel file as a DBaseIII .dbf file and it works but I wanted to be able to use a database for better tracking of information.

MYSQL In A Program
How would I access a database from a program? All I need to connect in the program is the IP address or the URL, though I do not know how to get those from a database.

Using MySQL To Input Into Another Program
I have been working on a workaround to see if I can figure out how to get DATA from MySQL into another program. The other program is built on MS SQL server. The problem is that it is so bloated that a remote and my computer at the plant cannot correspond back and forwards. It takes approximately 10 minutes to key an order in to the remote plant.

I was working on a much smaller database through MySQL and using OpenOffice.org as the front end. I just wanted to go a step further and see if there was a way to use a triggering mechanism of some sort to input the data from OOo/MySQL to the actual program the company uses.

Good Program For Mysql

Linking C Program With Mysql API
I'm linking a simple C code with mysql. I compile the code with
this command:

linux> gcc -L/usr/lib/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql sqlTest.cpp -lmysqlclient -lsocket -lnsl

But it complains that "-lsocket" cannot be found. So, I removed "-lsocket" and
try again, then I got the messages like

My system is SUSE Linux 9.1, and I installed mysql by downloading the rpm files
from this site, and use "rpm -i mysql-xxxx.rpm" to install them. The libraries
are installed at /usr/lib/mysql, and include files are at /usr/include/mysql.
Can anybody tell me how I can configure my system to make it work?

Program To Optimise Mysql Queries
Basically im looking for a program that will take input (my query) and produce an output with a much nicer, more efficient query. I have seen sql programs that do this sort of thing, but nothing for mysql.
Just wonder if there is any programs that i have missed? Tryed Toad for mysql, but that wasnt what i wanted, i dont want a program to admin a mysql database, simply to produce a more efficient query.

How To Access MYSql From External Program
I have a Mysql database on a webserver and would like to access order information automatically from my home computer. I have the ecommerce software send me an email of the order and I wrote a VB program to extract the information from the email and populate an Access database. There must be a better way. Can I somehow have MS Access backup that database on my home computer?

MySQL Admin Program/Script
I'm looking for an application, or php script that makes entering and retrieving information out of a database automated. The process would like so:
I enter in the mysql un/pass etc. and create tables and rows. Also defining what type of input each row should have. Whether it be a checkbox, a dropdown menu, plain text input. Also defining what options for things like the checkboxes and dropdowns.
After that, you would be able to go to a simple front end that had the inputs you defined. You could create your entries and retrive them. Sorting them how you see fit.
Given the obvious use for such a thing, there must be plenty. I must not be wording my searches correctly though. I would prefer something free/open source.

Redirect Out Of Mysql Client Program To A File
I have mysql on MS Windows2000.

I like to redirect the output/error messages of MySQL client programs to a file.
For example, when I execute:

"mysql --user=root --password=[wrongpaswd] --silent --database=mysql > errfile"

The following error message is coming in the screen, not in 'errfile'

"ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

I also need to capture the same for utility "mysqlimport".

How capture the output of these client programs in a file?

Create A C++ Based Program Using Mysql Odbc.
I want my software to be independant of operation system and databases.

That's why I want to use odbc, and don't want to use MFC.
Here I have some questions to ask:
1. On unix (like sun solaris), does there exists any kind of midware
like odbc?
2. I search on the internet, and find most of the examples are based on

PHP. Is there any c++ examples?
3.Once I chose odbc, does that mean that whatever kind of database I
would use later, I don't have to change my source code?
4. now I program on window xp platform. If I use odbc, when impliment
my program to a unix platform, do i have to rewrite my code?

I just started this project, and I'm a newbie. The problems may be a
little bit of stupid.
Can you guys give me some information about this topic?

Create My Own VB Backup Program For A Remote MySQL DB
I understand that the basic principles to create a TCP/IP backup program for

a remote MySQL DB are:

a) Query/retrieve the schema.

b) Query/retrieve each table and create inserts for each row of data.

The way I want to do it is even more basic, as I know what my schema is so I

only need to reterieve and create the insert rows to put into my backup text

file, which is basically a large DDL.

The problems that I am experiencing are I want to keep the schema in an

external text file so that I'm not storing it in the actual app and I

thought I would also have another external file to store each 'select * from

tablex' query.

Is this a good way of doing it?

How would I merge the results together to make a new (and 3rd) external text

file backup?

Mysqlimport Program
I have been using load data in file command until recently on a windows machine - works fine.

we are now using a Netware 6.5 box and are trying to use mysqlimport from the command line.

I am using:

mysqlimport --password=123456789 --fields-optionally-enclosed-by="" --fields-terminated-by="," 0608c sys:mysqlinstirling.txt

to import a CSV text file into the database 0608c.

the data looks like this

"2007-06-28 16:07:00",0,13.58,15.77,-13.35,-12.69,-13.36,-6.61,-3.821,......

when the program executes it seems to give the desired results except the timedate is all zeros...

Extraction Program
I am looking for a simple extraction/load program to load data daily from a

2000 and be able to run it as a service, or as a cron task if running under
Unix.

Can't Update A Field From VB Program
I've just setup MySQL on a Linux machine and I'm using Visual Basic in
Windows to connect to it (using MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver). Everything works
fine for browsing the database (used for stock control), but some parts of
the VB program refuse to update the database. It was using an Access
database (which worked ok) and I'm using the same SQL statement and table
structure. Code:

Trigger To Run An External Program
Can I trigger an external program to run when a new record is added to

continuously for new insertions, it will be better if an external
program could be triggered.

Can't Update A Field From VB Program
I've just setup MySQL on a Linux machine and I'm using Visual Basic in
Windows to connect to it (using MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver). Everything works
fine for browsing the database (used for stock control), but some parts of
the VB program refuse to update the database. It was using an Access
database (which worked ok) and I'm using the same SQL statement and table
structure.

Here's the SQL statement that VB runs:

SELECT Stock.GJGStockCode, Stock.PartName, Stock.Discontinued,
Stock.UnitsInStock, Stock.UnitsOnOrder, Stock.ReorderLevel,
Stock.ReorderQty, StockSuppliers.SupplierID,
StockSuppliers.OrderCode, StockSuppliers.PackQty,
StockSuppliers.Price, Stock.PartsToOrder
FROM Stock, StockSuppliers
WHERE Stock.CurrentSupplier = StockSuppliers.Position AND
Stock.GJGStockCode = StockSuppliers.GJGStockCode AND
((Stock.UnitsInStock + Stock.UnitsOnOrder <= Stock.ReorderLevel)
OR
(Stock.PartsToOrder > 0))
ORDER BY StockSuppliers.SupplierID, Stock.GJGStockCode

....which works ok for browsing the database. If I change the
Stock.PartsToOrder field in the VB program, when VB trys to update it I get
the error message "Insufficient key column information for updating or
refreshing". The Stock table has a primary key (GJGStockCode), and the
StockSuppliers table has a primary key (UniqueID) which is an auto_increment
bigint.

Does anybody know what I need to do to allow VB to update the database? Or
is this a VB question!?? - Although the same SQL statement works with an
Access database.

Program Refusing To DROP DB
I am getting this problem over phpmyadmin and also over a preprogrammed php script.
When there are more than 30 or 40 selected DBs the programs refuse to carry out any command when I click on the drop button.
They would just take as if there is no command issued at all.....

Anyone know how to make it delete more DBs at one time?
I looked at trhe my.cnf file but don't see any options to do this...
It however runs on small batches but I need it to drop a lot more databases at one time.

PROGRAM TO UPDATE DATA TABLES
I need to be able to DELETE selected record & LOAD DATA from a text file or Foxpro table, from a program that can run continuously.

I've tried Foxpro, but FoxPro views are too slow. I have also tried issuing these command from Foxpro with an ODBC connection established, but that does not work at all.

The object is to remove all records for a member and replace these records with records from a new file.

Each transaction will be up to 50,000 records.

I need to execute 2 commands:
DELETE FROM parts WHERE parts.member_id="xxx"
and
LOAD DATA INFILE 'd:/xxx.txt' INTO TABLE parts

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 ?

Converting Ms Access Database To Mysql 5 Database
I've imported a ms access database into a table in a mysql database.
The access database contains a field that holds date/time values in
'general date' format. These all show up at 01/01/1970 in the mysql
database. I believe the field in mysql is wanting UTC and shows
numbers when looked at from the sql command line (i.e. March 13, 2006,
5:31 pm is shown as 1142289086). How do I get the access data into
that format so it will import properly?

MySQL Big Database
I am creating a Database Architecture and there is a volume problem
with MySQL.

My tables are quite simple. Problem is they will record million of
lines.
Within 10 seconds, MySQL could receive 1.000 querries to insert raws in
the same table.

After 30 days, a table could be a 30.000.000 lines table.

I see several problems :
1. multi-querries at the same time
2. very high volume of database
3. recognition scripts and browse within results will be too long.

I think of having researched and developped multi-threading querries to
MySQL and back-tables that receive cut/paste from the main table.

I hope you had the chance to work with important volume, in order for
me to listen and work on the development of advised solutions.
