Running An SQL Command On All Tables Of A Database


Using MySQL 5.0 and only SQL, what's a way to run a SQL command on all tables of a database?

The command would be something like: delete userID from tblUser where userID = 'abcd1234';

What Is The Command To Add The Prefix For The 20 Tables Of My Database?
I have created a database with 20tables, but now want to add the prefix "en_" to all the existing tables, so what is the exact command to do this job?

I have checked that to rename one to two tables can be done by:
"RENAME TABLE old_table TO backup_table, new_table TO old_table;"

but... how to do this for all the 20tables at once?

Running A Php Command A Certain Time
Is there any way that I can my php page run itself at say 12am every morning? This is so I can save the mornings beginning information in my mysql database?

Running MySQL's 'source' Command
I am having failures processing the following command and I wonder
if you can tell me what I must do in order to have success. When I try
to run source mysql_dump.sql.txt ==> it is a problem for me.

1) I put the file in /home/mlh/public_html/credifree/sql_script/.
2) I made that directory my current directory
3) I typed mysql and pressed ENTER
4) I then typed source mysql_dump.sql.txt and pressed ENTER

A bunch of error messages saying
ERROR 1046: No Database Selected
filled up the screen.

Well, of course there was no database selected. I do not yet have a
database. I thought the whole point of running
source mysql_dump.sql.txt
was to CREATE a set of database files on my linux box. Is that
incorrect? What must I do to avoid this error 1046?

And now, the last question...
Can you tell me where the database files will be placed when running
source mysql_dump.sql.txt as I described above from the same current
directory as described above? I do wish to KNOW in advance where the
files will be created.

Running A Sql Batch Script From The Linux Command
s this possible?

I want to write a command script which i want to put into a cron job which will download a db backup from cpanel. then i want to unzip it, and run the sql file, so keeping the database on the mirror machine up to date.

So what i have is:

#get the database
wget -v --http-user user --http-pass pass https://www.site.com/path/to/cpanel/backup
#move to backups folder
date=`date -I`
mv -fv ./mysqldump.gz /home/user/dbbackup/$date.gz
now what i also want to do is:

mysql -uuser -ppassword
u database
set foreign_key_checks = 0;
. mysqldumpfile.sql
set foreign_key_checks =1;
exit
is it possible to do that last bit from the command-line? as far as i know, a shell script can't run commands to mysql?

Running A Modify SQL Command, When A INSERT Is Done On A Table

Running Existing .sql File In Mysql Command Prompt?
I've seen "examples" of this in my book on MySQL, but it just shows the file on the prompt. It says that I can run an existing sql file - for creating a table - right from the prompt.

However, it doesn't really explain how to do this in detail. I've tried :

-h host - u user -D database -p < myfile.sql

but it gives an error. How do I point it to the right file on my system?

Max Database Threads Running
why the 'mysqld-max-nt' service only uses 505 threads if I hav a program starting up 2000 threads to the mysql database.

Is this normal or not. I currently hav mysql 4.0.23 installed. I thought that because I'm starting up 2000 threads that the 'mysqld-max-nt' service would do the same. Is this '505' threads I'm seeing some sort of limit. If so how do I increase the value?

How Do I Create A Database On Linux Machine Running Mysql?
I have an sql script file that is supposed to create
a set of database tables for me. Supposedly I type
the following on my linux box and its all supposed
to work...

mysql (ENTER)
. mysql_dump.sql.txt

When I type myslq <ENTER> I get a command prompt
that looks like this...

mysql>

But I don't know how to change directories from that
command prompt to the directory where mysql_dump.sql.txt
is located. Can someone tell me how to change dirs at
the mysql> prompt?

Command Line Copy Tables From One Db To Another
I'm looking for a command line call that can copy a database table (db1, table1) to another database (db2, table1). I know there has to be an easy way to do this but I can't seem to be able to find the magic syntax.

User/Group Tables Command
So I'm working on a simple user/group based login system for a website. Here are the basic tables:

table: users
+---------+----------+
| id | username |
+---------+----------+
| 1 | bob |
| 2 | john |
| 3 | ted |
+---------+----------+

table: groups
+---------+----------+
| id | groupname|
+---------+----------+
| 1 | group1 |
| 2 | group2 |
| 3 | group3 |
+---------+----------+

table: users_groups
+---------+----------+
| user_id | group_id |
+---------+----------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
+---------+----------+

So in the tables, you can clearly see, 'bob' is part of 'group1' and 'john' is part of both 'group1' and 'group2'. 'ted' is not apart of any group...

So now, lets say I want to add 'ted' to 'group1','group2' and 'group3' at the same time. Essentially I want the 'users_groups' table to look like this:

table: users_groups
+---------+----------+
| user_id | group_id |
+---------+----------+
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 3 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
+---------+----------+

So I want to know how to do this in one query? I want to do some sorta thing like this:
INSERT INTO users_groups SET user_id=0, group_id=(SELECT id FROM groups WHERE groupname='group1' OR groupname='group2' OR groupname='group3');

List All Tables In Db Using SQL Select Command
I need to get a list of all tables in a MySQL database.

(I'm running 4.0.1) atm.

I need to get at the tablenames using a plain sql select statement. I can't use show table and i can't use api functions.It has to go through odbc and ado.net!

Schema information ought to be available somewhere, right? (Of course I can't scan the directories for files either!)

follow-up question: is there an ole_db driver for MySql?I could use its getSchemaTable function then.

Cannot See Mysql Database When Issuing Mysqlshow Command
I have run into a little dilema with my MySQL installation. I have run the executable file, set the path for mysql bin files, etc. However when I issue the command mysqlshow instead of seeing two databases listed, those being mysql and test I only see test. Furthermore when I issue the command:

Could somebody please inform me as to how I can get the privilege rights for this operation?

100 Databases, 4 Tables Each, Or 1 Database, 400 Tables
I was able to build, tweak and do whatever necessary to establish a rather different project but am worried that it may sooner or later crash due to idiotic programming / database usage.

In essense I took 1 database with 4 tables and duplicate it 100 times BUT because I need to connect to the different tables within the php script and am not experienced enough to created nested database connections, I duplicate the 400 tables within the same database.

What I want to know from a MySql perspective, would it make any difference if the script "play around" with 1 database connection and 400 tables or would 100 databases with 4 tables each be better? (Maximum database queries to only 17 tables at a time)

Database With 100.000 Tables
How can I dump a database with 100.000 tables?
Right now I got this error:
mysqldump: Got error: 1105: File './usr_web20_4/hilarypics_usergroups.MYD' not found (Errcode: 24) when using LOCK TABLES
the amazing thing is that the table exists and that the error occures one with this, another
time with anohter table.
I read something that solves the problem by increasing the max amout of tables
to be opend set to default to 1024 in the mysql-config file

Value In All The Database Tables
Is it possible to search for a value in all the database tables using a query ?
I assume that a simple query won't do the trick, and a UNION on all tables isn't possible because I wish to keep it as much dynamic as possible (i.e. scheme changes at will).
So what I'm actually asking is this : Someone possible knows or heard of a utility that can search the whole database for some value and return the output in some human readable format ?

Merging Database Tables
I need advice on how to merge database tables. I have 3 tables that I want to compress into 1 table. All tables have the same columns, but different data within. Also, all tables have an auto-incremented primary key, so I need the id's to be changed, I guess - I'm not really sure about how that would be handled.

If anyone can point me in the right direction here, please do.

Performance Of A Database With A Lot Of Tables
I am working on hosting solution for a popular open source script, where users can sign up and get an own forum. We use InnoDB, and each user has an own set of tables (around 30); there are currently around 500 users registered. Despite the large count of tables, database is small, around 50 MB.

Server is dual Xeon with 4GB of RAM and MySQL uses all memory, available on the server, so there's even nothing left for Apache.

As the user base is growing, what steps would you suggest me to do, in order to keep good database performance and make it more efficient on RAM usage? The former is more important.
