Table Structure For Storing Information In Different Languages
I will develope an application that have data dictionaries translated to some languages. Example of a non-localized table "Thing": thing_id, code, hidden, shortname, longname Target: shortname and longname must be represented in many languages My variants of the solution: Model variant 1 (one table with many columns): "Thing" table: thing_id, code, hidden, shortname_en, longname_en, shortname_de, longname_de, shortname_ru, longname_ru Model variant 2 (two tables with default language in the parent table): "Thing" table in english: thing_id, code, hidden, shortname, longname "Thing_Loca" tabl: thing_id, locale, shortname, longname Model variant 3 (two tables with language data in the child table): "Thing" table: thing_id, code, hidden "Thing_Loca" tabl: thing_id, locale, shortname, longname My questions: 1) Do you know about any other models? 2) Which model would you prefer? 3) Do you konw any internet resources about this problem?
Structure Type
I would like to create a procedure. But in this procedure it will have 20 arguments (int and char).So, It would be better to create a single argument typed as "structure" type... but I don't know if it's possible to do it? Or perhaps there is a another meaning to do it?

I Need To Convert Date Type To String Type
I need to retrieve a Date type data from the database and present the data in my GUI as a String type.

Can someone teach me the way so that I can retrieve Date type data from the database and present it in the GUI as a String type.

NAS Vs SAN For Data Directory
I am trying to decide which storage I should use for the "Data Directory". My application has lots of 'SELECT's (80%) and fewer UPDATEs/INSERTs(20 %). I have the following choices of Data storage 1) Xiotech SAN (66 Mhz FCAL) 2) NAS 3) Internal SCSI 3 RAID 5 Will I achieve any better performance using one storage vs the other storage? In the past (for about 2 years), I have I used SAN with 33Mhz FCAL, and the performance has been quite exceptional. And I have encountered no problems.
Directory Name Invalid
For testing purposes I have PHP installed and I have MySQL installed on my local laptop. Windows XP Pro I am just learning both of them. I have read quite a few chapters in the MySQL Manual. Enough to allow me to get around in MySQL and directly create tables an view information in them, upload .txt files into the tables, etc etc. I am receiving an error when I try to connect to MySQL via a PHP script. I have no problem connecting to MySQL via Command Line. The error I receive is "The directory name is invalid." Here is my code... I am not sure where to put the directory name or where to put the directory path in order to make it valid. I am not sure what directory it is talking about. <html> <head><title>Connect to MySQL</title></head> <body> <?php //connecting to the mysql server uses a mysql_connect command. $link = mysql_connect("locoalhost",$_POST['username'],$_POST['password']) or die("Connect Error: ", . mysql_error()); echo 'Successfully Connected. '; mysql_close($link); ?> </body> </html> Where exactly would I put the path to the directory or where would I name the directory?
Filerights To Certain Directory
How can I give(grant?) the mysql database rights to write in directory /opt/guide/www.domain.com/HTML/upload/test How should I set my rights. A local user 'userA' should have the rights. How should I set these privaliges without opening the gate for everybody?
Membership Directory
I know this is probably a dumb question for all the experts out there. But I have to ask because I'm trying diligently to work at home and want to be successful. How difficult is it for someone with an Access background and pretty fair understanding of differing programming lagnuages to build a member directory that currently house 16,000+ members. The client wants it done by 8/1. I have yet to sink my teeth into a real web database, shall I take the chance? I'm a quick study and have taught myself most of what I know. I've basically gone to school to learn little things I've missed to Ace a class on something I already know, but is mandatory for my degree.
Working In A Windows Directory...over The Web
Is there a way to set up a database so it reads a windows directory? Like the W:/ drive? Or have a function that moves files from W:/ to C:/? and then have this functionality over the web? Where do I start? I want this to be simple but all the resources I find are complex or more toward website stuff. I’d like to develop the frontend with PHP and have it interact with VB as well.
Using INSERT To Write To A Directory
I have a problem that I'm not sure if it can be done. I'm trying to use the MySQL C API to be able to use a normal sql insert statement that will send the data or file to a directory and NOT the database. I'm not sure if there is anything out there that will allow this, but I've searched everywhere, and I have found no solution.
Errcode 17 In Temporary Directory
I run a web server (on IIS) with a big site on it. It has php5, mysql 5 and odbc 3.51 It has 640MB of ram. at random times I get this error (not always the same file, but similar): [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.27-community-log]Can't create/write to file 'C:EasyPHP mp#sql_3fc0_0.MYD' (Errcode: 17) If I go to that directory and delete that file, the problem disappears. But until I do this the pages display a mysql/odbc error and nothin works. So if it happens at night or when I'm out, my website will remain down for a lot. Really annoying problem!! I googled the errcode 17 and found out that it can be caused by: - directory permission problem > this is not my case, I've given correct permissions - an antivirus performing a scan in the temp directory > this is not my case So what is this?! Code:
Create A Directory-search
I'd like to create a form to search in my database that is a directory. It contains an important list of persons with their names, firstnames, telephone numbers etc. Do you know where I could find a script to help me? I'd like to create a multi-criterions form.
MySQL Or Directory Tree?
I'm working on a project where I have about 5 different data structures (objects) consisting of about 15-30 fields each. The size of each object is about 2-4 kB. The maximum number of objects will be in the range 5000-100000 for each object. I need possibility to search, add, delete, update and get these objects by ID, NAME, DATE and VERSION only. I have no need for the individual fields of the objects only complete objects as binary files. When I work with the objects I need access to roughly 5-10% of the objects at a time. Right now I have all these files in a directory tree under Windows XP with ID, NAME, DATE and VERSION included in the file name. I can do all I need but it becomes too slow sometimes. Now to my question: Can I benefit something from moving to a MySQL database when it comes to performance and speed and how should I set up the datbase to make it as fast as possible?

Creating A Community Directory
The goal is to create entries for a Community Directory: Smith John Sally 8786 Regional Way Somewhere, OR 97224 Child1 Child2 Child3 Using the following code I've been able to get close, but the records are repeated for each entry in the fam table: select concat(hld.l,' ', hld.f,' ', hld.sp,' ', hld.ad,' ',hld.city,' ', hld.st,' ', hld.zip,' ',hld.ph,' ', fam.ff,' ', fam.rel,' ') from hld, fam where k = fk order by hld.l, fam.rel Smith John Sally 8786 Regional Way Somewhere, OR 97224 Child1 Smith John Sally 8786 Regional Way Somewhere, OR 97224 Child2 Smith John Sally 8786 Regional Way Somewhere, OR 97224 Child3 Obviously, I need a way to collect these multiple records into one record like the initial sample above.

Accessing Mysql/bin Directory Problem
This may be very basic question, that I hope some of you can answer very quickly for me. I'm running mysql 4.1 on windows xp just to learn the database, and I'm in a need to run .exe in the bin directory. The problem I'm having is accessing this directory. The path is C:/Program Files/Mysql/Mysql server 4.1/bin but when I get to C:/cd "Program Files/..." I get an error message saying (parameter format not correct - "program) i have tried several things, as well as following a user guide for changing directories that states that if the folder name has spaces use " to access that subfolder...maybe there is a simple tip ...
Optimizing A Large Phone Directory
I have a table with names and contact information for a bunch of people (we'll call it a phone directory -- it's not, but confidentiality prevails ). To get twenty people to display on a single page, I'm using this query: SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY lastName LIMIT 20 Pretty straightforward, but for some reason, with a few hundred thousand rows, this is taking a very long time (and I do have an index on lastName, which doesn't seem to help). Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Also, would it be quicker to have separate firstName and lastName lookup tables with firstNameId and lastNameId columns, using this query: SELECT p.*, f.name as firstname, l.name as lastName FROM people p LEFT JOIN firstNames f ON f.id = p.firstNameId LEFT JOIN lastNames l ON l.id = p.lastNameId ORDER BY l.name LIMIT 20 Unless there's some obvious problem or solution I'm overlooking, the only other thing I can imagine is having ANOTHER table with the alphabetical order of the last names, which might speed things up but seems somewhat unwieldly (though doable, if necessary, since I won't be adding people too often). Hopefully there's some simple problem I'm not seeing (which may be, since it seems like MySQL should scale better than this).
Dropped A Database, But It's Still Showing Up In The Directory
I dropped a database used for practice. Although all the tables are gone, the empty database itself is still there. Is this correct? How do I get use of this empty db? Note: I'm using Mysql version 3.23.49 -nt and I also use mysqlfront although I generally use the command line to work with the dbs.
Move Database In Windows To Different Directory
How do I move a database on a Windows 2000 server box. I have MySQL and found where to point the database in the MY.ini file but I cant seem to move it to another partition. If I change the path in the my.ini file the mysql service fails to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have seen how to do this in unix and linux on this forum but could not find a thread on how to do it in Windows.

Moving Data Base From / Var To Home Directory
I'm successfully running MySql under Debian with the data files in /var/lib/mysql. I would like to move the data base files to my home directory and have mysql use them from there. How do I do it? Can I just copy them to my home directory and start mysql with a parameter which point to the new locaion? Can I do that with mysql starting at boot time? I just looked at /etc/init.d/mysql and see that it appears to starts mysql by calling /usr/bin/mysql_safe but there is no such file. As an alternative to putting it in my home directory, I would be happy putting the files in /usr/local. Can I do that without rebuilding mysql? The reason I want to do this is that I want to install a new version of Knoppix and that will format and clean out the / partition and I don't want to loose the data I have in /var/lib/mysql. Could I just save /var/lib/mysql and restore it after installing the new version of the system?
How Can I Protect Databases Externally In The Data Directory
My question is how can i protct databases in the data directory externally? Anyone can copy data from the data directory in mysql server and paste it to another system where another mysql server with same version is loaded. If network security is tightened, still this problem will be there. Because hard disk can be removed and data can be stolen very easily in that case. So is there any solution for this?

Import A Directory Of Text Files Into A Mysql Database With Php?
I have a directory of text files that i'd like to import into a msql table... I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this with php/mysql, I'd like to avoid copy/pasting the entire directory (thousands of files) into the database if i can. The directory structure of the text files resembles... somepath/A/Aerosmith/Song Name.txt - (extention varies) What i'd like to do is use php to scan the directory and input the file path information and the content from each file into a table like... Dir Artist Song Text Type ------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Aerosmith Song Name Fa La La La La (example text) File Ext B Beatles Song Name Fa La La La La (example text) File Ext
InnoDB: Page Directory Corruption: Supremum Not Pointed To
I was prompted to use the "Stop/Start Service" feature in MySQL Administrator and could not re-start the MySQL Server. I have been given a bunch of advice on how to get it started again like using the command prompt in XP Pro. I did and input "mysqld --standalone", it didn't get MySQL Server started. I was told to check the error log, this is what I found... 050515 11:08:37 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally! InnoDB: Starting crash recovery. InnoDB: Reading tablespace information from the .ibd files... InnoDB: Restoring possible half-written data pages from the doublewrite InnoDB: buffer... 050515 11:08:37 InnoDB: Starting log scan based on checkpoint at InnoDB: log sequence number 0 47130.

I don't know what the "sepremum" or if it's preventing MySQL Server from starting.

Storing Pdb
I am in the process of creating a database that will store amongst otherthings, will need to store .pdb files and .vrml files. I am a bit confused as to go about it, as these files have to made accessible to the user- via a perl-cgi webpage. You get the idea- you search for something and you click on "get pdb file", and the user gets it. My question is this: Can i store files just in there .pdb form, or can a field only store the text that is in the pdb file. Is there a way to just put the file onto the web browser or will it have to be printed out via the cgi script onto the web browser line by line?

Storing Images In The DB
I have a database that is a catalog of movies, books, etc and I would like to have a page that actually shows an image of the item along with the title, that's not the problem, the problem is I do not know how to go about storing images in the database and assigning them to catalog entries.
Storing User CSS
I'm working on a social networking site with a friend and am curious about something: how much bandwidth do mysql queries typically consume? I'd like to make the CSS of user profiles open for editting, but that would mean a lot of css settings would have to be stored and constantly queried. Does this take up a lot of bandwidth and are there any ways to open up the CSS without consuming too much?
Storing Keywords
I did a search on storing keywords and found a post where someone suggested storing keywords in a 1-to-many table scenario. I'm not sure I follow. Here's what i'm thinking of doing. I'll be storing a Word document that would be tied to various keywords. I want to be able to search by keywords and get back a query of various documents that match up to the keywords. I figured i'd make a page to list the document and then input keywords and store them in the database for later searching. What would be the best way to store these keywords for each document? hope that wasn't to confusing. Thanks for the help.
Storing Arrays
What is the best datatype/method of storing an array of data retrieved from PHP. And/or do I need to convert the array to a string before inserting?
Storing Time
I need to store time in several tables and im trying to find out the best way to do it. I need to store the time in this format HH:MM (or HH:MM:SS). Im thinking of using the TIME field in MySQL 4.1. I need to show the time with AM/PM, so i guess i should store it in a 24hr format and use DATE_FORMAT to show it with AM/PM...right? And i will need to show them chronologically...how would i do that?
Storing Day Of Week
I need to store the day of the week an item will occur on every week. I will then be able to sort by that column by the day. I was thinking about storing it in a datetime field while putting all items in the same week but changing the date so that it coincides with the proper day of the week. I'm not sure how to do this in either the mysql query or in php.
