Setting Up Defaults
Is there a way to set-up defaults to the fields using some SQL statment instead of going into each field and entering default values.

Mysql_config Defaults From
I recently upgraded to mysql version 4.1.13 (server is SuSE linux 9.3) and attempted to re-install the Perl DBD::mysql module, which kept failing because it couldn't open /tmp/mysql.sock. After spending way too much time trying to figure out why it was trying to find that socket (my.cnf specifies /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock), I finally realized that mysql_config was pointing it there. IMO, this makes no sense, since during the mysql build/install process, the socket was created in /var/lib/mysql and (as stated above) my.cnf specifies the location as /var/lib/mysql.
Defaults With Auto_Increment
I was just wondering if anyone knew a simple quick way of declaring a default value for an Auto_Increment INT field in the create table statement? I'm having trouble with the correct syntax.
Null Defaults
If I have setup mysql with strict_trans_tables, will MySQL allow "null" defaults in "not null" columns? If the answer is yes, will that information be reflected when I ask for metadata (column information, etc.)? Currently, when I ask for metadata information, not-null columns will return a default of "empty string". As additional information, I currently use 5.0.21-community-nt
Strict Mode And Defaults - Best Practice?
Assuming I have MySQL 5 in strict mode, what is the best practice for dealing with varchar fields (for instance) where no specific default value need be set? Is it best to simply make such a field nullable?
Unknown Variable --defaults-file
I am trying to use the --defaults-file with a compiled version of mysql on a Feodra Core 2 based on Linux-2.6.5 I type the following command : /usr/local/mysql4src/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local/mysql4src --datadir=/usr/local/mysql4src/data --user=mysql4 --pid-file=/usr/local/mysql4src/data/mysql.pid --socket=mysqld.sock --defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql4src/my.cnf 041110 11:47:43 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql4src/libexec/mysqld: unknown variable 'defaults-file=/usr/local/mysql4src/my.cnf' I am using mysql-4.1.7 and compiled it with the following options : ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql4src --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql4src/data --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock Do I have to compile mysql with a special option or something like this?
Setting Up
Im wanting to set mysql/php on my mac. Im wondering if installing mamp is the same as installing each component seprerately. Can i get away with mamp or should i go through and set it up manually?
Setting Up An ISP
I am trying to figure out how to setup an ISP. I have broadband in my shop and was thinking, I could setup the house to call into my network and connect to the Internet through my DSL. I have servers with Mandrake 10.1 for web/mail/ftp. Was wondering if this could be done and what needs to be done for it to work?
Setting Up
I need to setup on which directories on my hosted servers. I am a member of a volunteer organization, but would like to have a wiki posting to help promote some of the events that have lower turnouts. Also to get comments and perhaps media from some of the more successful events. I'm very new to this and am still reading up on some reference materials, but would like to have something tangible to work off of. Our budget is limited as well so I opted for the low budget plan for now, so I am still uncertain of the bandwidth I need.
Setting It Up
I need help on setting mySQL 4.0 on my windows 2000 small business edition server. how exactly do i do it? its downloaded, and set-up, now how do i use it?
Setting Value
I have a table (cont_id) with an auto_increment primary key, and I had deleted entries with much higher numbers than others.Those entries are no longer there, but auto_increment sets cont_id based on the high-number entry I deleted.Is there a way to re-set auto_increment so it adds +1 to the highest-number value for cont_id among the existing entries?
Setting A New Value
I'm trying to design an internet forum these days ... In my database i have got a field called (ID) which represents the id of the topics and i have assigned it an (auto_increment) attribute... My problem is that when i delete all the topics from the forum and after that add a new topic to the database the (ID) of that new topic continues to increment from the last deleted topic, so how can i set the (ID) of the new topic to 1 in case all the previous topics were deleted?
Setting Up Tables
I'm having trouble figuring out the table setup and normalization I'll need to accomplish my goal. Basically on my website I want students to register and from there they can log in and fill out what college they go to and create a list of courses they are taking and add/delete assignments for each course, and add grades they receive for each course. I need help determining what tables I'll need and how I want to link them. Let's say a STUDENT adds 6 COURSES and then 10 assignments in each course along with 8 grades he has received in the past week (to calculate GPA). How would I go about setting this up?

I downloaded and installed mysql-essential-4.1.22-win32 somedays ago. I found it doesn't support my mother tougue. How can I set it support korean language? should I install it again for setting font(character)? or can I modify the setting?
Setting Up A Database
I have just installed mySQL v.5 on my Windows VPS Remote Desktop. In the past I've use shared hosting and simply followed the directions of the web host when creating a database. I simply need a single database created, a single user created for the database and password. And to grant permissions to that user. Rather than read the manual, I was hoping someone could instruct me on accomplishing this, please.
Setting Up MySQL On Mac OS X
I'm a novice Unix user, and I can't get MySQL set up properly on my Mac. It seems to have installed OK, but when I try to run the mysql_install_ db script, I get errors. I can't set the root password either that the documentation tells me to. As background, I just want to use MySQL to work with databases and PHP and HTML to set up web pages for database input and output. I'm running MySQL on my own machine at home, and have no use for passwords or any other administrative functions. I'm just looking to use the program to set up and query databases. Can anyone point me to a way to avoid all the UNIX admin stuff and run the database? I can get in, but the mysql database doesn't appear when I hit SHOW DATABASES as the tutuorial says, and I can't access or create new databases. I think all this may have something to do with my user account on my machine, but I'm not savvy enough to know how to override permissions, be root, or any of that stuff. Any hints?
Setting All Instances Of A Value To Zero?
I am writing a basic CMS for a project and i need to be able to set every instance of a value to zero in a mysql database. eg. there are 20 entries, each with the value '1' in the 'default' column. I want to change all of their 'default' values to 0 in one query. How can i do this?
Setting Up Database

Setting Up A MySQL Db
how's it done? I have only ventured as far a local Access type db up until now, but I now need a db "out there" that can store info submitted from a form on one of my websites. I have recently been experimenting with phpBB as a piece of open-source (free) software that taps into MySQL on my webspace, and seems to take almost all the hard work out of setting up a complex forum. It there some software that will do a similar job for me with a db? And can such a db download its data to a local db, like Access?
Setting Replication Up !

I dont want to order it by ascending or descending i want all the rows labled car under the "type" field to apear first. and the same for rv, boat, and motor. How would i acieve this??
Setting Up A Username
I am both the user and the admin. I am using winXP, and I am the root. This is all happening on one laptop since I am using Apache as a server. I have to ONLY provide mysql with my password to get into my database. My Q is how can I assign an actual username to myself, so MySQL connects my password that is already in use with the new username which I don't know how to create?
Setting Up MySQL
I set up MySQL, obviously not right. When I attempt to use the command: mysql -u root -p I am then asked to type in my password. I do that and then ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query. I run Win XP and Norton Internet Security.
Setting Up MySQL
I tried removing MySQL But when asked for my password it would let me type it & Im log in as admin. Please Help ASAP I need a MySQL Project done. here is the terminal line: [flash-AlPB-1GHz:/usr/local] chadelso% [flash-AlPB-1GHz:/usr/local] chadelso% cd /usr/local/mysql [flash-AlPB-1GHz:/usr/local/mysql] chadelso% cd /usr/local sudo rm mysql sudo rm -rf mysql-3.23.47-apple-darwin5.1-p [flash-AlPB-1GHz:/usr/local] chadelso% sudo rm mysql Password:
Setting Up On Windows XP
1) I can run MySQL in a command prompt and create databases when I am logged into it at root happily. But then my application which hasnt got root access cannot see the database. How do I set up MySQL such that myApp can access a database created by root? At present if I log in to MySQL using MySQL -u MyAPP I cannot access the database that I created when I logged in as MYSQL -u root MS Visual Studio 6 question. 2) I have copied all the .h files into my include directory, and the lib files to the library directory. I have fixed the slight bug in the header files that means the system cant define SOCKET (#define __LCC__) If I just include the headers and compile it all works well. As soonas I try to use some of the C API commands I get linker errors which implies that the library is not loaded. I have added the library and I still get errors. What am I doing wrong here (or more likely, any suggestions for other things I can try?)
Setting Max_allowed_packet
I am having a problem with adding a large String to a mySQL field.. The size of the String is ~ 4MB and the datatype of the field to which I am inserting the string is - longtext. When I try to insert the String I get errors - i.e. "com.mysql.jdbc.PacketTooBigException" I have tried to set the max_allowed_packet value, in the my.ini file. i.e. set-variable =max_allowed_packet=16M although, when I try again to repeat the process once I have set the max_allowed_packet.. I still get the same error Message. It seems that even when I set the max_allowd_packet to 16M, the actual allowed maximum value is 1M.
Setting Up Users
I have a website and db where people can login get setup and then enter information into the db, everybody has a unique client number, can I create a user for the db when they set themselves up as a user and restrict them from changing anything except data that is connected to their client number?
Setting Variables In My.cnf
how can I issue these client commands from inside the my.cnf file? tep_db_query('set collation_connection=euckr_korean_ci', $link); tep_db_query('set character_set_results=euckr', $link); tep_db_query('set character_set_connection=euckr', $link); tep_db_query('set character_set_client=euckr', $link);
Setting Value Of Row_count()
i have a stored procedure consisting of several delete statements and i want to be able to return the "Query OK, 0 rows affected" such that the total number of rows deleted are summed up rather than returning the number of affected rows of the last statement. the number of rows deleted can be obtained through the ROW_COUNT() and i can add it up. but how do i set the value of the "Query OK, XXX rows affected"?
Setting Password
I am using MySQL 4.1 on Win XP.I forgot my root password and I am trying to reset it. I am using the SQLyog GUI to manipulate my DB.I have a guest password stored in SQLyog and can access all of my databases.But I can't use SQLyog to change the password b/c it uses the new password alogorithm which is hashed to 32 characters opposed to 16 in the old alogorithm.I was wondering a way to reset my root password.I only have minimal privileges on this account such as SELECT. Just in case anyone missed it,I can't log into my MySQL command line client since I don't know my root password.I would normally use OLD_PASSWORD('password') from there.
Setting Password
i've created my database and now i want to access it through php so im using: mysql_connect('localhost:3306', "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()); but i haven't yet set a password and don't know how to, so when i run the file it comes up with the error: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user...... is this because i need to set a password and username,if so then how? or is it maybe another different problem?
Using And Setting Up My First Database
1. how do I being in setting up my mySQL database which will be storing files consisting of TXT, SWF and images. 2. I want to be able to call these items from the database using PHP links and MySQL/PHP integration. Any tutorials on the web available for that that anyone knows of? 3. Easability. Where can I go to learn how to optimize all my code?
Setting Up New Item
I use myphpadmin and I am a beginner with it. I have this text based game and for items it's weapon, armor and shield. I went to insert and did the fields and added a new item called "Herb" which heals your character 10 health. So now I go to the game to the admin control panel and its there but it can only be a weapon, armor or shield. I need to add a new class for "items" which is a healing item.
Setting Up A Relation
Is there any reason why two tables created with a relation in MySQL wouldn't adhere to what you would think is a property of the relation? Case in point: I have a 1:n 'relation' where I can insert values into the dependent table while making up an entry for the foreign key from the independent table (whether it exists or not). I shouldn't be able to do that, but MySQL doesn't complain.
Setting Value For All Records
How would i go about populating a new column based on an existing column pluse a bit of text. i.e i have a column fldID which contains numerics 1,2,3,4 etc and i want to poulate a column fldIMAGE with values 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc.
Setting Up A SQL Table
I want to use this: $sql = "SELECT * FROM blogroll ORDER BY rand(" . time() . " * " . time() . ") LIMIT 1"; To pull random code into my WordPress theme (I will need to use lots of these random entries, so this method looks best, ATM). Do I use this by creating a table in my database and replacing "blogroll" in the above line with the name of the table(say: randomphp)? I will try this as soon as I figure out how to fill in the fields in the new table. If I am correct about what I need to do please help me out with the fields on the table creation screen in phpMYadmin: Field? The code I want to put in place of the SQL string in my theme, right (a php include to be specific)? Type? Length/Values*? Attributes? Null? Default**? Extra? primary, index, unique, or ---? full text?
Setting A Maximum
I'm trying to get summaries of articles from my database, and I've tried a couple things though none of them seemed to be correct. In my SELECT statement: SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id=$_GET[id] I want to specify how many characters(maximum) it should return. The field I want to limit is longtext and there are three other fields (2 varchars, and a date) but none go over 30. I assume that this is possible since creating a separate field that contains a summary would be extra overhead.
Setting Up MySQL
This is how the server is started: mysqlinmysqld --defaults-file=mysqlinmy.cnf --standalone --console There's no "--old-passwords" but it's still not working. I have Xampp, btw. In my.cnf I took out the "old_passwords" declaration. I restarted the server a few times and it's still not working.
Setting Max_allowed_packet
I can't seem to set max_allowed_packet on server restart. Typically, to set it higher I've been restarting mySQL through the command prompt using the --max_allowed_packet=64M, but I want this to happen by default on server restart. I tried editing my my.ini file with no success. I've tried adding the lines: max_allowed_packet=64M --max_allowed_packet=64M max_allowed_packet=64M max_allowed_packet=67108864 and --max_allowed_packet=67108864 Still, on server restart it always is the default 1048576.
Setting Up The Server
I keep getting an error number 1045 access denied whenever I try to run MYSQL Administrator. I just set this up. What did I forget to do? I installed MySQL Server 5.0, the administrator, the query browser and the system tray monitor. What am I forgetting to do here?
Setting Up MySQL
Little 333 machine with Kubuntu Linux loaded and running fine for over a year. Grabbed Mysql 4.01 and MySqlAdministrator via Synaptic Package Manager. (yeah, I know - don't expect great performance - it is just my daughter's old former Win Me machine hat Linux has breathed a little new life into....) Question: Looks like all I have is a command line interface to MySql at the moment. What must I do to define a database,username and password so that I can use the nice Admin GUI tool? It wants a server host name, user name and password, so I gather there is some set up work to be done from the Linux command line before I can proceed.
Setting Constraints
I want to create a table and set a constraints on a fields. For example for the int field all the inputs has to be greater then 5. How do I go about doing it? I tried this create table Foo( id integer(5) not null, constraint id_range check(id>5)
Setting Input
I'm using Navicat to develop MySQL database. I have a table cutomer table that will be connected to Jsp page to collect data from the user online. I was wondering how do I set an input mask to the email address: such as: abc@yahoo.co.uk into xxxxxx@yyyyyy.zzzzzz So this means that the user must enter their email address in that format otherwise it should return a message saying INVALID. Also another question was: Im trying to set my price field in such a way that it accepts values like 2.50 but i tried using Double, real, numeric, float but it does not allow the zero at the end.
Server Setting
Is there any setting I can change to have an email of all MySQL errors sent to me?
Setting Mysql
I'm setting up mysql server for the first time and after logging into the command prompt I setup a new super user and deleted the root user for security reasons. Now it seems I can't login to the server at all. MUST you have a root user to run a mysql server? If not, how can I login to do anything?
Setting The First Row In JDBC
Consider a table with 100 entries in it. Say, I execute the following query from a JAVA application using JDBC: - SELECT * FROM foo_table LIMIT 10 ORDER BY start_date DESC; Due to 'LIMIT 10 ORDER BY start_date DESC' it will return me top 10 results. How can I retrieve the next 10 in some later query, totally independent of any current query? I wish to do something like the Hibernate function Query.setFirstResult(int index); but using JDBC.
Setting Heading To 1
i have a mysql table and i would like to set the heading gameType to 1 can this be done ?
Setting Up Tables
I am just about to start setting up an online database to show a list of clubs and the firms who help run them as volunteers. A firm may run a number of clubs and a club may be run by any number of firms. I was going to set up a table for the clubs with the usual fields (id, name, add1, etc) and a table with the firms (firmid, name, organiser, etc). My question is, how do I link the firms and clubs? If it was a club only ever had a single firm I would just put the firmid in the club table, but as it could be any number of firms I am not sure how to structure it.
