MYSQL :: Storing Russian Text In Table

Storing English/Japanese/Russian Characters
what is the best collation to be used for a field that will hold characters from various languages. It could be a set of characters from any of the following languages and different rows could hold different languages:

* English
* Japanese
* Russian
* Spanish

Saving Text In Russian
I have a table with a field that is to save text in Russian. The text is
then retrieved by a PHP page. I run a query passing text in windows-1251
encoding, but when I retrieve it from the db, it shows up all wrong.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Storing Text Articles By Network... Use Of Single Table?
I have a website where each network has their own unique ID. Right now, there are about 100,000 individual networks. I want users to be able to submit a story based upon which network they belong to. The submitted story will only be shown in that network as well. The submitted text story will only be about 1000 words long, so not too long. The user will be often performing full text searches on stories in their network.

Should I create a table called stories for each network?

Or should I create a unique story id and link it to each network?

Storing Text
what the best way (date type) is to store lots of plain text in a MySQL db.
I'm trying to store the bodies of certain html pages in it.
asmuch as a 1000 lines of code.

Storing Html Text?
I'm going to be populating a database table with around 30,000 records. Each record corresponds to a book. One of the columns holds the description (generally around 2-4 paragraphs).

This description text may have quotes, other funny characters and of course paragraph breaks. Correct me if I'm wrong but for these characters and paragraphs to display correctly on a web page the appropriate html codes/tags need to be there.

I can either store the html codes/tags in the table field so it's ready to pull out and display or I can store it as normal text with 'l' etc and parse it into html with PHP when I pull it out.

Storing Text From A Txt File In Mysql
i am looking for a a way to get data from a text file and putting right in to mysql db.

I have been searching but didn't find the thing i am looking for.

Storing Japanese Text In MySQL
I am developing a site for a Japanese jewerly business in PHP and I'm having a problem with getting the japanese text to store correctly in MySQL. I've been working on this problem for three days now and after an exhaustive internet search and countless coding/database collation changes, I'm still stumped. I've seen a number of forums suggesting the use of SET NAMES 'utf8' or SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8',

I've tried these and more with no success. Does anyone have any suggestions? One other thing I noticed - when I type japanese text directly into the database table field, the text gets converted to these: 水 - which looks odd but displays as the original japanese text when querried from the database and displayed in a web page. Is there a way I could convert my text to this format before inserting it?

Storing And Retreiving Rich Text
I have a problem with storing rich text in MySQL.
I store rich text in MySQL (in column with type "text") which i get
from Rich Textbox control. When i do reverse processing by trying to
fill rich text back to rich techbox (i set correct property "Rtf") i
get whole text like:

{
tf1ansiansicpg1250deff0deflang1029{fonttbl{f0fnilf charset0
Arial;}{f1fnilfcharset238 Microsoft Sans Serif;}}
viewkind4uc1pardlang1033fs16 rtyrtyrtlang1029f1fs17par
}

There must be some kind of conversion which i cannot discover ;(
Everything works ok when i store this in Access.

Best Column Type To Use For Storing Text
Pretending i have 1k chars of text i want to store in a db.

What would be prefered to use.
One 'text', 10x char(100) or maybe 10x varchar(100) ?

Russian Characters
my.conf:
[client]
...
default-character-set = cp1251

[mysqld]
...
default-character-set = cp1251

still russian characters are displayed as ?????
MySQL 4.1.14-max-log

Unicode For Russian
I just wanted to insert Russian data in my database but while I insert it it get inserted easily, since I believe the data is inserted in the default format i.e. UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) i believe this is the default format but when i select it from database i could not get what was desired what is the solution for this, I am using Php as server side language.I get? as a result of select and while i look it in phpadmin the result is the same, is this the browser problem...which is not supporting the font.

Version 3.23 - Russian Character Set
Have issues inserting Russian charaters in a table. The array used for the insert appears to be fine. The supported character sets per Varibales are:

latin1 big5 czech euc_kr gb2312 gbk sjis tis620 ujis dec8 dos german1 hp8 koi8_ru latin2 swe7 usa7 cp1251 danish hebrew win1251 estonia hungarian koi8_ukr win1251ukr greek win1250 croat cp1257 latin5.

Russian Language (win-1251) At Export MySQL 4.1
I have a problem with mysql back-up of my site. At site is present the material in russian language (the coding WIN-1251). Presently, hosting company has done upgraid MySQL bases to version 4.1.

The Site works orderly, but when making back-up bases (Export), in the base are absent the symbols in russian language. At export of the base through PHPMYADMIN , the situation a bit better, some cyrilic symbols are seen, but not all. How it is correct to do the MySQL export to were seen cyrilic symbols?

Mysql Client Dont Write Russian Characters
I installed MySQL 5.0.24 and have so problem.I can't type russian characters in mysql client. Database has data in koi8 encoding (from dump, from php form...) and this data correctly shown.But when I switch encoding to russian in mysql client cursor stops moving independent from my keys pressing,when switch it return to English and typing continued.For example,I enter: select fld from tbl where fld="russ",if "russ" in koi8 I cann't type this characters.
It is possible type russian characters from OS command line: mysql -p -e "select fld from tbl where fld='russ'" dbname. In this case whole query text will be entered and correctly executed.
If anybody know how possibly decide this problem write me please.
My OS is ALTLINUX 3.0 : LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
MySQL's variables:
| character_set_client | koi8r
| character_set_connection | koi8r
| character_set_database | koi8r
| character_set_filesystem | binary
| character_set_results | koi8r

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?

Table Sizes And Storing Uploaded Data
I intend to give my website users an option to upload relatively large files via a PHP script. My question is, is it feasible (and a good idea?) to store all the data (potentially several GB) in one table that will then have to be accessed by the server quite heavily at runtime?

Alternatives would be to split the table at a certain size threshold or to store just the filenames in MySQL and the corresponding files directly on the HD. Does anyone know how LAMP sites that offer large-scale upload services usually handle this?

Storing German Letters In Table Fields

Table Design For Storing Item Stats
I've created quite the database for my app, and I'm familiar with normalization and general db design. However, I'm ready to design my tables for recording all sorts of stats for my db items.

I want to be able to view stats for each item, such as number of small views, number of large views, number of downloads, ratings and so on. I also want to be able to view these items by periods of time, such as by day, week, month, by multiple months, by year, etc. So, I'm trying to figure out what the most efficient way of recording this data, so that I can keep my tables as small as possible. I'm wondering if I will have to insert a row for every stat, or if I should enter a row for every day, or only a day if there is activity, etc.

Create Virtual Table During Query Or Load Table To Memory From Text File
I have access to my application database via a secure link, so I cannot link a local database to it, only run queries on the remote server and download the result.

The database is missing some useful information, and I cannot add a table at this stage. I would like to achieve the result by creating a virtual table or the like. ...

Separate TEXT Table Or One BIG Table
In the past I have constructed my private message system into two database tables. One table held the message_id(KEY int), user_id(medium int), sender_id(medium int), subject(varchar), new(bool), and date(datetime) values. Then the records are fetched and are displayed into a HTML table. When the user clicks on any one of the records the browser is redirected to a page which displays the actual message. The message is stored into a table with the columns: message_id(KEY int), message(TEXT).

This whole process has worked fine, but is this really logical to split the TEXT type into its own table?

Full Text Table Creation
i am just trying to implement fulltext .I have created the table as
CREATE TABLE `mytable` (
`mytable_id` int(25) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`mytable_title` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`mytable_dts` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
`mytable_caption` tinytext NOT NULL,
`mytable_full_body` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`mytable_id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='Testing Full Text Search Functionality.'
is it correct or
the below is correct
CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX full_index ON mytable(
mytable_title ,
mytable_caption ,
mytable_full_body
);

How To Create New Table From A Text File?
Is there a GUI utility which can create a new table in my mysql
database from a 50 million-record text file? I want mysql to get the
data into the database as whatever it can - varchar etc. I can change
columns later to double.... unless mysql is intelligent enough to see
that the field in the text file is numeric.

Japanese Text Dump To Table
I'm trying to upload the content of a TXT file in Japanese (JSHIFT) into a table with the command LOAD DATA INFILE, but everytime I've tried, I receive a warning that the text is being cropped and then it doesn't display properly on my webpage (although it's encoding is properly set with :

<meta content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS" http-equiv="content-type"/>).

I'm tired of trying, so I decided to ask in case anyone has experience with text in other encoding formats.

DB Log Vs Text File Log And 1 Table Vs N Tables
1. Storing log in DB/Text file which mayb keep increaing every second. Which one is more feasible?

2. I hv a situation which to record the impression, the record keeps growing and should be huge one day, i wonder, spliting the same type of data into several tables like

impression_[month]_[day]

which will create different tables to store same type of data. Is it a good idea to reduce the select/insert time for the system?

Simple Table With 3 Text Fields
I am trying to setup a simple table with 3 text fields. I amusing Myphpadmin to do this, this is my sql statement:

CREATE TABLE `zones` (`country` TINYBLOB NOT NULL, `rate` TINYBLOB NOT NULL, `time` TINYBLOB NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`country`))

But the extremely unhelpgful error message gives me:

BLOB/TEXT column 'country' used in key specification without a key length

I have tried specifying a length but then get this error:

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 '(25) NOT NULL, `rate` TINYBLOB NOT NULL, `time` TINYBLOB NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`country`))' at line 1

Table Inserts Text That Can Contain " And '
I've got a table insert that looks like:

INSERT INTO TABLENAME (iSbn,year,title) VALUES(111111,2006,"Title Name");

So far so good - the first 2 values are numeric, the 3rd textual (VARCHAR).

But some of the text items can contain either " or ' or both.
EG1. Brazil: The "Love Conquers All" Version
EG2. Something's Gotta Give

How do I fomat the insert command so that the " and ' chars get added as they should?

Full-text Searching And Table Joins
I googled this one but the only sites I could find were in German, and even then, judging by the emoticons, it didn't look like the posters were able to get any answers.

I'm trying to do a full-text search on two tables, and I'm getting errors.

SELECT * FROM artists, items WHERE MATCH (artist) AGAINST ('$term') OR MATCH (title) AGAINST ('$term') LIMIT 0 , 20

Works fine, but I need to get relevance.

SELECT * MATCH (artist, title) AGAINST ('$term') as relevance FROM artists, items WHERE MATCH (artist) AGAINST ('$term') OR MATCH (title) AGAINST ('$term') LIMIT 0 , 20

Returns "Wrong argument for MATCH". I've noodled around with the above statement for a while, and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any experience with this and know how I can do it?

Loading Data Into A Table From A Text File

Cant Load Text File Into Table From Remote Browser
I'm trying to run:

$sql = "LOAD DATA INFILE 'E:AHLog.txt' REPLACE INTO TABLE `items`

And I thought that "REPLACE" would take care of repeating rows, but it doesn't. How do I write a mysql command that only inserts UNIQUE rows, and not repeat rows?

Exporting Blob / Text Column With Hyphen Delimited Text
I have a table that contains a column (blob, text type, formatted as MEDIUMTEXT) with text hyphen (-) delimited, listing

rooms by numbers, and I need to export or insert that data into another table, where all other info on the other columns

remains the same, but I need the data on the blob field to be single listed

another words, i have a table like this (example):

Automatically Generate Text Excerpt For Text Near Keyword Hits?
I would like to generate an automatic text excerpt showing the text close to the first occurance of a keyword needle in a text haystack.

For example: searching for

keyword = "foo"

in a table called Webpages in the column Content = "Yadda, yadda, yadda. Bla, bla, bla foo yadda yadda yaddda bla bla bla"

would return a column called Excerpt = "...a, bla foo yadda yadd..."

Is this best done with PHP after fetching the entire column Content, or will it be more efficient to do directly with MySQL?

What would that SQL query look like?

Converting Database Text To Html Text
Is there a function in MySQL or PHP that will automatically convert a text with paragraphs etc. to an html ready text. i.e. a function that will add <p> tags etc.

Adding Text To Existing Text
I am trying to add a string of text to the end of text that is already stored in the DB.

For example
likes = "I like television"
is already stored in the DB

The user then wants to add "-I like music".

So I want the end result to be:
likes = "I like television-I like music"

I tried:
UPDATE table SET likes = likes + "-I like music"
but that gives me an error and only works for numbers

What is the text equivilent of adding to an existing field?

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 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.
