MYSQL :: SQL 7 To MSDE 2000

MSDE
We have a application which uses MSDE as a backend. When we are installing application to client machine , we will install Microsoft SqlServer DesktopEngine to client machine so that application uses that DB.

But now we want to use mysql instead of Microsot Desktop engine. So is there anything which is same as MSDE in MySql so that we will install mysql instead of MSDE. Does anyone have a solution or possibly point me in the right direction?

MySQL Vs. MSDE
What is the diffence between MySQL and MSDE?

I have Visual Studio 6.0, running on ME (Millinium Edition).
I want to develop VB6 applications on my desktop which can be migrated to SQL Server. Should I use MySQL or MSDE?

How can I determine if MySQL or MSDE are installed on my machine?

MSDE And Internet Applications
clarify the position re MSDE and it's use a database for internet applications.
Is MSDE 2000 licenced to do this is it not allowed?

My.cnf Is Not Available Under Windows 2000
according to the manual,

There are two option files with the same function:
`C:my.cnf', and the `my.ini' file in the Windows directory.

Is it sufficient with only one of the files ?

I have only my.ini

For which purpose is my.cnf , please?

SQL Server 2000
I'm trying to do an export from an SQL Server 2000 Database to and ODBC driver pointed to a mySQL Server Database. The export works if there is at least one record in the mySQL table. If the mySQL table is empty it gives an error that looks like this:

Insert error, column 1 ('field1', DBTYPE_STR), status 6: Data overflow.

The strange part is that the export works perfectly fine as long as there is one record in the mySQL table, if there are no records in the table, I get the error above

SQLServer 2000 Conversion
I have a web app that uses SQLServer 2000. I am switching to MySQL 4.

1.1. I have re-created all the tables but I'm running into 2 problems.

1. In SQLServer I can create a date field and as the default value I

can use a macro/function to have it set the default. I have not seen

an equivalent in MySQL. After doing some research I have seen only

two possible solutions:

a) Use timestamp. This is not suitable because it has a tendency to

auto update and it's more trouble than it's worth to use a field that

does this when you know it should never really change.

b) Use datetime and just insert the time in. This option will
require

me to mess in the web app and go through and change SQL which I

really would rather not have to do but will as a very last resort. I

prefer the database to handle this sort of thing.

So am I missing something? Or does MySQL simply not support using

macros or functions as default values like SQLServer does?

2. Second problem may not be MySQL. I use Naicat and I created a

varchar field with a length of 2. When I saved the table it was

converted to a char of length 2. This was not cool because the two

are not equivalent. I don't care how much faster char is. So my

question is, is there something in MySQL that doesn't allow varchars

of length < 4 or is this a Navcat thing?

How Much Is MYSQL? Does It Run On Win 2000 Server?
How much is MYSQL?

Does it run on Win 2000 server?

Does it have reliable ODBC drivers?

Has anyone reliably used it with a Powerbuilder application?

I tried looking for a FAQ (didnt see one) and doing a keyword search.. a lot of hits - to many threads to digest.

Access 2000 As Frontend
I know this is an 'old chestnut', but I have been trying to add an ODBC connector for MySQL frpm mysql.com. It downloaded and installed correctly, but when I came to configure it, the dialogue looked different from the picture on mysql.com help page. I figured it had just changed and made a best guess of what went in which text box.

Thing is, whenever I try to test the connection, I get an error message;

[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user: 'dbusername@my fixed ip address' (Using password:YES)

I am assuming it got through to the MySQL database and was denied access because it had my fixed ip address attached, rather than say, localhost? Is it a config problem or have I missed something?

MySQL On Windows 2000
I am migrating my web enabled Access dbs to MySQL.
I am using ASP on my development machine running Win 2000 professional with IIS and MySQL.When I attempt to run queries on my development machine, against the MySQL databases they run like a dog!! My Access databases flew compared to MySQL. I'm not expecting blistering performance, but it's taking minutes to access tables with under 20 rows.However, when I upload to my hosting company, everything is fine.
Can anyone give my ideas how I can tune my developmet machine speed up the queries?

Mysql Crash On Win 2000
I have latest mysql version 5.0.2 alpha installed on my windows 2000 machine. Now there is bug in the version, which causes the server to crash everytime I try to use any mysql client like phpmyadmin, mysql query browser. The only possible way of accessing the database for now is only through the command prompt and not theough any other client. This bug has already been reported to mysql. But it appears they have fixed in the cvs. But as of now there is no binary patch for windows. Anyone got any ideas on how do I tackle this one without having to change my version.

MySQL Script And SQL 2000

5.0 Security On Windows 2000 Best Practices
Does anyone know of a set of standards for securing MYsql 5.0 on Windows
2000? I already saw the document on mysql.com's website at
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources...ql_windows.html,
but something that is missing is precisely what are the minimum
permissions needed for the server? Specifically, which directories need
which access rights?

MySQL + SQL Server 2000 Both Running On XP Pro?
I've had mysql on my machine plenty of times with no trouble currently i have SQL Server 2000 Trial running but never both at once. Unfortunately i have to have them both on at the moment.

I basically want to get php/mySQL/MSSQL running with IIS

App In Server 2000 Connect To MySQL - MAC
I am absolutely new to MySQL. I came across the need to look at MySQL from an application I was developing using REALbasic.

Here is the system:

An MS 2000 Server with an application that needs to connect to a SQL database.
A MAC OSX 10.4.7 PPC G4 running MySQL mysql-max-5.0.24a-osx10.4-powerpc.pkg.

What I can do:

I can connect to the MySQL table using the data app in REALbasic on the MAC and make changes etc.

What I need to do:

I need to create a DSN to allow the App on the 2000 server to connect to the MySQL server table on the MAC to make changes etc.

How can I accomplish this?

Probs With MSSQL Server 2000
Well i have installed MSSQL server 2000 on my PC(OS:XP Prof). And the server does run as well as the agent. I know how to use the registration wizard of SQL server 2000, cause untill i sucessfully complete the registration process i woun't be able to create a database OR use the query analyser.

I know how to access the registration wizard, but i at last it gives me an error saying"access not granted, unsucessfull registration" **** like that.
:confused:

And i am using the same PC as the server as well as client.

Communication Between MySQL And SQL Server 2000.
Is there an established (third party software for instance) means to allow communication between MySQL and SQL Server?

For instance, SQL Server has a replication service that allows a database to be kept in sync with another one (SQL Server to SQL Server). Does anyone know if such a thing exists for SQL Server to MySQL and MySQL to SQL Server?

#2000 - Unknown MySQL Error
I'm using my SQL via one of SBC yahoo's packaged deals for web access.

Everything had been going along smoothly...until today.

Under PHPMYADMIN...privileges I started seeing the following msg:

Warning: Your privilege table structure seem to be older than
this MySQL version!
Please run the script mysql_fix_privilege_tables that should be included in your MySQL server distribution to solve this problem!

Whatever SQL statement I try to run (a select, alter, update etc etc) I get the #2000 - Unknown MySQL error msg. So I can't run the script mentioned in the error msg since it won't get past the very 1st alter statement.

I'm not sure what went wrong but I can't even "reload mysql" - I just keep getting the "Uknown" msg.

With the exception of the "mysql" database, all of my other databases show a dash sign instead of the number of tables (in the PhpMyAdmin drop down. I can't even click on one of them without getting the "uknown" msg.

MySQL On Windows 2000 Server
I want to install MySQL on to a Windows 2000 Server, I also want to remotely manage it using MySQL administrator, so connecting to the server using its IP Adderss, On windows workstations if you try and connect to the MySQL database from a remote mechine it does not allow you to do it (I have disabled all firewall's etc.).
Do you have to install a server version and not LOCAL version of the MySQL server?

Open And Close Time 2000 Kills The Connection
I am moving some data from a text file into mysql and my code in c# using ODBC fails.

Actually I created a loop to test mysql and realized that mysql goes banans when

for(int i=0; i < 5000; i++) {
connection.Open();
connection.Close();
}

This code is for illustration purposes ONLY but it should work!? When I reache around 2000 the connection.Open() loses the connection to localhost and terminates the program! After a minute I can get access to mysql again? Inserting a delay of 100ms seems to keep things going.

Exporting Binary Data From Access 2000 Into MySQL 4.1.5 Gamma
I'm trying to export a pictures table, my mySQL database table already
exists so I have linked both tables in Access and I tried to run a
simple append query in Access to export the data but I either :

- lose the connection to mySQL
- have packets that exceed max_allow_packet

I have tried different things to set max_allow_packet to a higher
value which seems to be 1M by default. I want it to be 1G like setting
the value at run-time from the prompt but it seems that no matter what
I tried, I either get the syntax wrong or the command is simply
ignored.

I have also added in my.cnf, the following lines :
