Standard Way To Store User Information


I have a database for storing user information. Is it standard practice to create a new table for each user's data, or have one huge table with everyone's data?

4.0.14 Standard Creating User Issues
We just installed mysql 4.0.14 on an xserve. When trying to add users via
mascon I'm finding an issue I have not seen in previously releases. When
adding a user it seems that the new column ssl_cipher is a required field.

I know this is new for v4 but is it supposed to be a required field? What
should the default be? I can't modify any user without being notified that
it is required.

Trying To Revoke User Privs Cpanel Phpmyadmin Mysql 4.1.21-standard
I have created a user (someone). Logged into cpanel as the main account if I try ....


REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES , GRANT OPTION from someone@localhost;

I get"#1044 - Access denied for user 'myaccount'@'localhost' to database 'mysql'"

Can anybody tell me if there is anything I can do / another way to accompish the creation of a new user but only allow them access to certain priviliges? e.g. I don't want them to be able to drop tables.

If I do this - there is also an error......

GRANT DELETE , INSERT , SELECT, UPDATE
ON myaccount_thedb.table_1
TO someone@localhost;

""SELECT,INSERT,UP command denied to user 'myaccount'@'localhost' for table 'table_1'""

Also updateing the user privs in cpanel gives no errors but does not work.

User Information Changed
The other day someone changed every user's password on my site. Then they changed every user's email address to theirs - I assume the reason was that when the user used the password reset function, they would never see the information.

I'm trying to research what/where the vulnerability is in the script that I'm suing, but I don't really know where to start - not being a hacker, I don't even know the terms to search for here or on google.

Is this what is meant by mysql injection?

Merge Table To Share User Information
I run two different forums and I'm not sure on how to have both forums share the username, posts, and other user information.

Each forum has their own database and I'd like to know if there was a way to merge the user tables instead of all the tables from the database.

Standard Sql
i wanted to know if there is a standard way of limiting results in sql
i've seen this page, and it seems there isn't
http://dotnet.org.za/thea/archive/2005/02/22/14715.aspx
just wanted that confirmed
personally i like mysql's limit as it allows for offsets, and is nicely placed at the end of the query (but it obviously doesn't work for other db server's)

Learn Sql Standard
I'm just learning mysql--having no db experience. I'm wondering if my-sql-specific commands overlap with sql standard commands. I noticed when reading the mysql manual, that one of the user comments on the bottom of the page says that the "describe table" and "show tables" are
mysql-specific. I also noticed that they use the non-standard "load
data" command, where "insert" is the standard. I was under the
impression that mysql-specific stuff was just an extension of the
sql-standard, not an alternative. Are there a lot of overlaps like this?
If so, do you recommend any other sites besides the mysql where I could
learn the standard commands first?

Standard Deviation
I have Shows listed in a database (ShowID) and each show has several user ratings which are in a varchar field in the database called ‘rating’ which simply lists one of the verbal ratings:
Highly Recommended
Recommended
Somewhat Recommended
Not Recommended

My problem is that I would like to convert each rating to a scale from 4 to 1 (Highly Recommended = 4, Recommended = 3, Somewhat Recommended =2, Not Recommended = 1) and then get the Standard Deviation of that list of numbers for each ShowID. Is that possible?

Database From 4.0.22-standard Into 3.23.58
If I have a backup of a Database created on MySQL 4.0.22-standard version (in a .SQL queries, that will re-create the tables and insert the data into them), and I changed server, and the MySQL version they use is 3.23.58, is it compatible, can I use the same backup queries ? (It uses the CREATE TABLE syntax and the INSERT INTO syntax.)

Last Id MySQL 4.1.21-standard-log
we have a very busy database server, and alot of insert is going on in it. but my program requires to get the last_inset_id. i did this using PHP mysql_insert_id(). now the problem is since there are alot of insert, i believe that mysql_insert_id() is getting the wrong id thus i am having duplicate id's in my other table. so linking my two tables through id is screwed up. id is auto_increment btw.

can i specify the last_insert_id to only look at a specific database.table?

Any Way To Dump From Mysql 5.0 To 4.1.22-standard?
I have a MySQL 5.0 database that I have dumped to a flat file with:

mysqldump -u username -p databasename > mydatabase.sql

I have written a cgi perl script to import the dumpfile into a new table in an existing database. The script runs fine when I run it on the local host. But when I upload the same script and dumpfile onto a webserver that is running MySQL 4.1.22-standard, I get the following error when trying to import:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
/*!40101 SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS */;
/*!40101' at line 7 at mysqlimport.cgi line 24, <FH> chunk 1.

I would have thought that a dumpfile would not be version dependent, but apparently it is. The database is very simple.

- Is there any way to edit it so that it will import into the lower rev db?
- Or is there a way to dump it into a lower rev format?
- Or is there some other solution (other than upgrading the server)?

Syntax Differences Between V. 4.0.23-standard And V.4.1.10
Basically i'm having trouble getting this to run on V. 4.0.23-standard, it runs fine on V.4.1.10.

UPDATE leads SET keywordClicks = (
SELECT keywordClicks
FROM googleinfo
WHERE googleinfo.keyword = leads.refererKeyWords
)
WHERE EXISTS (

SELECT keyword
FROM googleinfo
WHERE googleinfo.keyword = leads.refererKeyWords

Is there any glaring syntac differences between the version, and if so is there a resource that documents them?

Standard DATE_FORMAT Query
I have a standard DATE_FORMAT query, for example:

$query = "SELECT DATE_FORMAT(someDate, '%a, %b %e, %Y') AS someDate FROM table ORDER BY someDate";

My problem is that I need to nest another query within this one that has a WHERE clause based on the date:

$anotherQuery = "SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE theDate = '$row[someDate]'";

Due to the odd formatting of the date in the previous query, this query doesn't return any valid results.

I'm very new to these operations. Is there a way to format the date AND keep the proper mysql formatting? Any help is appreciated.

Standard Char Length For Storing URLs?
I'm curious as to what the standard char length is when storing URLs into a database. Im sure 255 is way more than enough, but is that the safest bet?

In my particuliar case the admin will be adding links possibly some generated from site such as yousendit or sendspace, but even those links seem to max at around 128 characters.

Root User Denied Access To Fetch User List.
I can still log onto MySQL administrator or the command line program but I somehow appear to have lost all priveliges to alter or view the user list from this account. Even under the command line interface I can login but it tells me access is denied when I try to alter "root" permissions on a database.

I cannot seem to log onto any of the other accounts created but obviously if I could get into the user admin I could solve this.

Mysql Information
My company is currently investigating in several database, projects
tracking software.

Being a beginner, I would like to know if you could provide me some
support concerning the capabilities of MYSQL.

We are looking in a software that could achieve the following:

- Enter text related to specific subjects (text can be pretty long and
should be searchable by key words)
- linking tables and extract specific information from those tables
(no problem with that).
- The ability to assign author privileges and to change them easily)
- The ability to assign task to some users.
- the ability to access the database and modify the information on the
web.
- the ability to automatically send the information by email or at
least notify one of the user that a project has been updated.
- the ability to point at other document (word, pdf etc) and to easily
access those documents from the database.

I need to select fields from one column, but this column contains duplicates on many rows. How do I write a query that only selects the info once and ignore it if it exists again.Pretty much I want to build an optionbox with every field from this column that is different. Since some fields in this column have the same value I don't want to list it twice so the standard SELECT all will not work.

Get Information About An Error
I'm running MySQL 5.0.48 and would like to be able to retrieve an error number or error message when an error has occurred.

I know that I can do:
SELECT @@ERROR_COUNT;

But since I mostly know that an error has occurred that is of little use to me.

When connected to MySQL I can do things like:
SHOW ERRORS;
SHOW WARNINGS;

But I can not do a SELECT so that is not of much use either.

The reason I want to do this is to log errors that occur in a Stored Procedure.

Find Row With Most Information
Is it possbile to find select the row of a table, which holds the most information, via a SQL query ?

E.g. there are 3 rows, in 2 of them are only 3 fields filled with data, the 3rd row contains data in all x rows, so this row holds the most information.

Is it possible to do that generic, so without checking each specific column in the query?

Sql Headers Information
I have a scSi disk 36.4GB, I lost information from it and tried to recover with other recovery softwares to no avail finally I got winhex & got the professional licence.

I can now be able to see all the information on the 1 whole NTFS partition, but the problem is that I can't be able to recover it. whenever I open the logical drive I can see all the information and most of the information is stack up in a "free space" which is around 33gb which I can be able to see has all the information that I need.

I have tried to recover the free space but its only copied to the location that I specify and no recoveries are made. recovering the files by type/ name has bore no fruits.

A freind told me I have to curve out that area and use data extractors to get the information out of that area (freee space).

The information in that drive are sql data bases and zip files. whats the header for sql.

what techniques do I use to curve out that space and be abele to extract the information, for I can even read the information in text format.

which are the data extractors available in the market.
