Turning On Logging
I have a database that has various information submitted to it from the internet. I am having problems with people hacking/submitting info that shouldn't be submitted. I don't know how they are doing it but I though that if I turned on the Logging for that particular DB maybe it would give me some clues i.e. IP addresses, ISP, date/time info, SQL Statement executed etc.What form of logging would I need to turn on?

Turning On Slow Query Logging?
Background: I paid a young admin set me up on a database server. He installed the basic I needed for the server...at my request...No Cpanel...mysql and apache and some tight security w/o even a domain name to SSH into. Unfortunately, he's a busy kid, and teens sometimes don't realize that people depend on them...and well, I can't really seem to get him to do much so I gave up and figured it's a good way to force me to learn all this myself... Well anyway, now I want to turn on Slow Query logging. But before I do that, I need to know how MySQL is running. Is SQLogging turned on already? Where is it logging to? So first thing I want to look up is, when the server is rebooted, what's the command to restart mysql? No clue. How do I change the setting? And of course, the server is production, so when I make the change, it needs to be quick, it needs to be smooth, and I need to be able to roll back to the previous config if necessary. I'm running Redhat Enterprise.
Turning Mysql Off On Mac?
My friend is running OSX and has mySQL running, she doesn't know why its running or how it got there, how do you turn it off? What are the steps to go through?
Turning Off Foreign Key Checks
Is it possible to temporarily turn off foreign key checks in a db? I know how to do it from the mysql prompt but I have a number of scripts using Java, etc which seem to be breaking because of the table ordering with respect to foreign keys does not seem to be honored (tables with FKs are declared before the tables the keys refer to). If there was some way to turn off checking for a db, run all the creation and import scripts I have, then turn the checking back on it would save a ton of effort.
Apostrophes Turning Into Question Marks?
This may be easily resolved but I haven't ever encountered it before. I am entering text into my mysql database that contains apostrophes. This field is generally around 500-800 characters. When I add the information, there are apostrophes but when I go back to use the information, all of the apostrophes have been changed into question marks. Any ideas how to keep the apostrophes? or why they are being changed? Also, if I go through and change all the question marks back to apostrophes, they will stay apostrophes!
Turning Localhost To A Network Server
I have a small home network with two computers. On my computer I am running MySQL 4.1.21-community as localhost. I have only be using this for development work. My husband wants to learn SQL so I would like to be able to have Mysql Query Browser installed on his machine, with him accessing all the databases I have set up on my machine. How do I go about giving him access to my databases? My machine runs Windows XP and his runs Windows 2000.
Turning Off Allowing Multiple Non-unique Rows
I feel lazy and I am busy so i don't want to fix my perl code to only alllow insertion of unique rows. I know mysql is set to allow multiple rows of the same thing but I would like to turn that feature off. Is that possible?
Logging In
I'm having trouble logging into my sql server, I'm running version 4.0 just about anything I type in gives me this error message "Error SQL query: mysql MySQL said: #1064 - 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 'mysql' at line 1 " Can anyone help me with this problem?
Logging
Is there a way to turn on some sort of logging? I am attempting to connect to a db through VB, just learned it and am not sure if I am getting in and not retrieving data or not even getting in yet. Can this be done through the console and then left on?
How Do I Set Query Logging
I have a situation where my database is deleting records. I would like to enable logging but this produces a huge text file. Also I am not sure how to read the results. I am using MySQL 3.23 (the IT department won't upgrade). Can anyone tell me the most efficient way to set logging for a specific database? I just need to monitor whether a process is deleting these records. Also how would I read this information? Are there any known problems like this with MySQL 3.23?
IIS Logging To Mysql?
Can you setup mysql ODBC so that IIS can log into mysql? if so is there any good article/ instructions on the setup?
Query Logging?
I cannot get my query logging to work. I put log=hostname.log in my.ini and at some point it WAS recording a log, but it since stopped. I started the service, stopped the service, did everything. I logged into my machine as admin, as the user, did it all again... cant get it to work. I am running mysql 5 as part of the XAMPP stack. I installed it on this machine as admin and can run it as a service, but I cant get the log to work. Any help would be appreciated. I really need to see what SQL is being executed.
MySQL 5 Logging
I've installed MySQL Server 5.0 on Win2K IIS as well as PHP 5.0. PHP works fine, and so does MySQL...the problem is that I can't get the two to talk to each other
Logging On For The First Time
I've downloaded the XP Windows standard version, installed it and logged on without a problem. I've also downloaded the Linux standard version, installed it(Mandriva 2000 powerpack), and attempted to log on. However, I keep getting a message telling me that it can't find a socks in /var(whatever that is).
Logging In To Monitor Thru Dos
I am playing around with logging in and running commands through batch files on a win2000 machine running mysql, I have a password on my db, I am using mysql -h localhost -u root -p to start up the monitor this works, but it asks for a password which kind of kills the automated part of what I am wanting to do, is there a way to include the password on this command? I thought about passing the password using %1, but I haven't done dos in so long that I dont even know if this feature still works, does anybody?
Logging Problem
I have a problem with mysql general log, regarding query logging. I'm running Win2K, mysql 4.1.10 with JBoss 4.0.2. When I turn on logging, the statements executed from JBoss and logged by mysql look like this: SELECT uuid from tablex AS a WHERE a.id = ?; MySQL never logs the parameters of the statements. Can somebody tell me how to turn this on or what I am missing here?
How Do I Enable Logging?

Logging Into Server
I have a linux box with MySQL. The following fails. If I try to login locally using mysql -u USERNAME -p If I go to another computer on the network and try using the same user name and password by: mysql -h SERVER ADDRESS -u USERNAME -p This login is successful. Does anyone know why the first operation fails?
Logging With Trigger
I am designing a chatsystem with logging-functionality. And i want to handle the logging-stuff within a trigger. As a procedure the code works, so the syntax in ok. As a trigger i get no errors but nothing is logged. create trigger messages_insert before insert on messages for each row begin declare a tinyint(1) unsigned; select logging into a from users where id = 1; if a = 1 then insert into logfile set content = 'A'; end if; end
Logging In / Cookies
I've been writing some code for site I'm creating, and I got stumped this far in. I have my login code, and it works, sorta - the page that displays right after logging in says that I'm logged in, but the I guess the session is destroyed after that. I'm sort of fighting blindly here - I just started learning PHP a few months ago and don't know much about sessions and cookies yet. Here's the code that processes the login form; I originally borrowed it from an open-source browser-based RPG (which is why users are referred to as 'players'), but now only about lines 7-17 are the same. Also, it worked fine for that game, so I don't know what's wrong here. Code:
Logging Into Server
I am running Mac OS X 10.4 (PPC) I have installed MySQL server and have the use account mysql but I have no idea of the password. When the install ran it did not give me the opportunity to set a password and I can not find anywhere that states a default password.
Logging Doesn't Work
I have WinXP, and MySQL 5.0.18 running as a service. I followed the instructions for setting up general query log file (mysqld --log), and the file was created (Nebo.log), but it does not display any logs. This is all I have after executing a few queries: Nebo.log mysqld, Version: 5.0.18-log. started with: Tcp port: 3306 Unix socket: (null) Time Id Command Argument Can anyone offer any help?
Using A Database For Logging
I need to log the number of "brochure Requests" on a per Region, Per date basis. eg for say 20 Regions , have a 366 columns (one per day of the year). Obviously I can write a script to Create all the tables, but it seems kind of clumsy. Do arrays exist in Mysql? It might also be easier to organise it into 52 weeks of 7 days. How do I design the tables?
Stats Not Logging
My stats arnt being logged. Page loads with no errors.. $update = "UPDATE `log` SET hits='hits + 1' WHERE ip='$ip' AND date='$date'"; if (mysql_query($update) or die(mysql_error()) ) { } elseif($logged[username]) { mysql_query("INSERT into log (ip, hits, date, user) VALUES ('$ip', '1', '$date', '$logged[username]'" or die(mysql_error()) ); } else{ mysql_query("INSERT into log (ip, hits, date, user) VALUES ('$ip', '1', '$date', '$user'" or die(mysql_error()) ); }?
Transaction Logging
I am reading up on transaction logging, and am wondering whether MySQL's binary log is its "UNDO/REDO log"? I'm a beginner to all this, and not sure whether that's the correct interpretation of the MySQL binary log. How does MySQL's transaction logging, or any transaction logging mechanism, work? I was reading up on general transaction logging principles but it was getting far too specific to SQL Server and other DBMSs, so I figured that I could come here and someone here might point me to some MySQL-specific resources on this, or perhaps help to explain how this all works. e.g. Does the transaction log get rid of all transactions once committed, what's the difference in how UNDO and REDO logs work, are these logs stored in a more complex manner than just logging the plain text statement (I'd imagine so, because otherwise how would an undo operation work)? In fact, I find it funny that I'm asking all the questions above because I'm still not quite clear on what the purpose of transaction logs is in the first place! While it would be great if somebody could help clear up the confusion I'm having, it would also be good if you could point me to some MySQL-specific resources on this topic. I browsed through the MySQL documentation and did a web search, but either did not find any resources period, or did not find resources that "dumbed it down" enough for me.
Logging Parameters
I can't see any useful-looking log files in my current localhost MySQL setup, and I can't see a way to specify logging in the Server Instance Configuration Wizard (1.0.8) either. There are plenty of logging parameters listed in mysqld --help --verbose, but I'm not sure why I need to run that when I already have the service set up by the Wizard, which is working fine apart from logging. If I have to do it the mysqld way, how can I shut off the service, and is that a good idea anyway?
Replication Logging
Im wondering if there is some method to automatically "clean up" the binary logs left by replication even after they are used. For example, I have a number of mysql replication logs sitting on a server. There are about 25 of them, a GIG in size each. My MYSQL replication is UP TO DATE. This means everything is properly sync'd. But I dont want to just 'DELETE' everything.
Logging On And Off MySQL
How does MySQL manage connections/sessions that are not formally and properly closed? What are the possible negative consequences if many of the software/operators on the client side fail to properly close the sessions they open? Will the MySQL server be able to handle this gracefully? Or will they consume server resources until the system crashes? Will the open sessions eventually time out close automatically? Is there a timeout value that can be set on the server? Can one query the server for information about open connections?
MySQL Logging Out
I'm not sure if this is related to MySQL or just happens to be occuring with MySQL on the Linux box, but MySQL will -- at random intervals -- log out without my explicit action and be followed by this message [X]+ Stopped mysql -u <user> -p <database> (where X is a number) Now I don't have admin or root access to this server, but is there anything I can do or talk about with the administrator?
Error Logging
I'd like to be able to capture errors and write them to an error log table from the stored procedure. This is fairly simple in MS SQL ... I haven't found much information about how to do it in MySQL. Has anyone else run into this?
Logging On To MySQL - Problem
I'm trying to log on to MySQL for the first time. I only installed MySQL and PHP for the first time yesterday. When I click on the mysql.exe (in C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0in) nothing happens. I thought I was meant to get a command prompt to type in my username and pw. The following actually happens to me: I double click on it, the command box opens for about 2 seconds and then closes down.
Logging Record Deletions
I want to create a script to monitor when deletions are taking place from my database. I thought something like using SQL count to check the number of records every minute so I can log when authorised deletions are occuring.
Server Log Not Logging All Queries
I started the general query log with mysqld --log On my machine this command works fine and every select, update and all statements are logged. I tried the same command on another machine and many many queries are missing, I am running apache, PHP on that machine and all the queries come through the web on localhost. I wonder why this is happening?
Mysql Logging Compiled In?

User Command Logging?
Is there a way to log what selects, inserts, updates, deletes various users do along with a timestamp of when? Something like a shell history of what the last 50 or so commands are that they ran.
Logging Queries On MYSQL
I am running Red Hat and MySQL, I am needing to make it that mysql logs all queries done on the server, at the moment my /etc/my.cnf file looks like this.

MySql Change Logging
Is it possible for me to have the daily updation and insert queries performed on the MySQL DB saved? This will help me track when a particular record was modified in the DB. Is there any other way to track as to when the changes were made to the DB? I also want to add who made the changes but this will come at a later stage once the user login is implemented.

Logging MySql Statements
My server load goes up to 100 and I donīt know why. What I know, if I shot down the site, the server calms down and it works again. I have figured out that i have a mysql problem but I can t figure it out. Is it possible to log all MySql Statements which are running on my database ? If the server goes strange again I could check the log file for the problem.
Logging Using The Mysql Command
Unfortunately, I was experimenting and I changed the field Host in table User from localhost to %. Now I can no longer logon via the mysql -u root command. It wants to log on as root@localhost and I want to log on as root@%. How do I fix my mistake?

MySQL Logging And Encryption
If logging is turned on, is there a way to disable it for a given query? IE. If I query --> select AES_ENCRYPT("This is very important data", "lessthansecretkey"); Then my key and the value I'm trying to encrypt is visible in the log files.
Starting Binary Logging
I want to start binary logging, but can't seem to get it working!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am totally stuck until I can sort this out.
