MYSQL :: Using MySQL To Input Into Another Program

Linking C Program With Mysql API
I'm linking a simple C code with mysql. I compile the code with
this command:

linux> gcc -L/usr/lib/mysql -I/usr/include/mysql sqlTest.cpp -lmysqlclient -lsocket -lnsl

But it complains that "-lsocket" cannot be found. So, I removed "-lsocket" and
try again, then I got the messages like

/tmp/ccIelMdT.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x66): In function `my_uncompress':
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/mysql-5.0.27/libmysql/my_compress.c:85: undefined reference to `uncompress'
/usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o)(.text+0x11c): Infunction `my_compress_alloc':
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/mysql-5.0.27/libmysql/my_compress.c:58: undefined reference to `compress'

My system is SUSE Linux 9.1, and I installed mysql by downloading the rpm files
from this site, and use "rpm -i mysql-xxxx.rpm" to install them. The libraries
are installed at /usr/lib/mysql, and include files are at /usr/include/mysql.
Can anybody tell me how I can configure my system to make it work?

Program MySQL With Apache
I don't even know what this is called, but I'm looking for a free tool that allows me to code MySQL and will work with Apache and PHP.

Program To Optimise Mysql Queries
Basically im looking for a program that will take input (my query) and produce an output with a much nicer, more efficient query. I have seen sql programs that do this sort of thing, but nothing for mysql.
Just wonder if there is any programs that i have missed? Tryed Toad for mysql, but that wasnt what i wanted, i dont want a program to admin a mysql database, simply to produce a more efficient query.

Packaging A MySQL Database With A Program
In writing a visaul basic database program with Access as the database you simply copy the database file into the packager and it is installed with your program on the target machine. I am guessing that with mysql, since it is a 'server' program, it is not that easy. Am I wrong? And where would I find information on this.

I have been working on a business accounting program and am a long way from finished, but I wanted something more robust than access as the database. I just need to know how to get the database to the target machine with my program.

How To Access MYSql From External Program
I have a Mysql database on a webserver and would like to access order information automatically from my home computer. I have the ecommerce software send me an email of the order and I wrote a VB program to extract the information from the email and populate an Access database. There must be a better way. Can I somehow have MS Access backup that database on my home computer?

Another Program To Access MySQL Database
I have a list of 8 rows by 11 columns that I exported from Excel into MySQL to populate my Database and that all made it through.

I am now trying to create a label with a label making program that will connect to a database. I have installed the ODBC 3.51 driver and tested the link and it finds the file.

When I try to open the database file from the label making program it says "Error Reading Record Fields", I click on details and it says "ODBC driver does not support dynasets."

I have no idea what a dynaset is or why it is an error???
Is there a way around this?

I can save the excel file as a DBaseIII .dbf file and it works but I wanted to be able to use a database for better tracking of information.

MySQL Admin Program/Script
I'm looking for an application, or php script that makes entering and retrieving information out of a database automated. The process would like so:
I enter in the mysql un/pass etc. and create tables and rows. Also defining what type of input each row should have. Whether it be a checkbox, a dropdown menu, plain text input. Also defining what options for things like the checkboxes and dropdowns.
After that, you would be able to go to a simple front end that had the inputs you defined. You could create your entries and retrive them. Sorting them how you see fit.
Given the obvious use for such a thing, there must be plenty. I must not be wording my searches correctly though. I would prefer something free/open source.

Redirect Out Of Mysql Client Program To A File
I have mysql on MS Windows2000.

I like to redirect the output/error messages of MySQL client programs to a file.
For example, when I execute:

"mysql --user=root --password=[wrongpaswd] --silent --database=mysql > errfile"

The following error message is coming in the screen, not in 'errfile'

"ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)"

I also need to capture the same for utility "mysqlimport".

How capture the output of these client programs in a file?

Create A C++ Based Program Using Mysql Odbc.
I want my software to be independant of operation system and databases.

That's why I want to use odbc, and don't want to use MFC.
Here I have some questions to ask:
1. On unix (like sun solaris), does there exists any kind of midware
like odbc?
2. I search on the internet, and find most of the examples are based on

PHP. Is there any c++ examples?
3.Once I chose odbc, does that mean that whatever kind of database I
would use later, I don't have to change my source code?
4. now I program on window xp platform. If I use odbc, when impliment
my program to a unix platform, do i have to rewrite my code?

I just started this project, and I'm a newbie. The problems may be a
little bit of stupid.
Can you guys give me some information about this topic?

Developing Database Program Using Delphi And MySQL
how I can use MySQL with Delphi? What I'm really looking for is a header file which can be used in each project which will allow me to use MySQL.

Create My Own VB Backup Program For A Remote MySQL DB
I understand that the basic principles to create a TCP/IP backup program for

a remote MySQL DB are:

a) Query/retrieve the schema.

b) Query/retrieve each table and create inserts for each row of data.

The way I want to do it is even more basic, as I know what my schema is so I

only need to reterieve and create the insert rows to put into my backup text

file, which is basically a large DDL.

The problems that I am experiencing are I want to keep the schema in an

external text file so that I'm not storing it in the actual app and I

thought I would also have another external file to store each 'select * from

tablex' query.

Is this a good way of doing it?

How would I merge the results together to make a new (and 3rd) external text

file backup?

ASP And User Input Into MySql
I would appreciate any help displaying a sample ASP code that selects database elements from Mysql using a user input parm.

My objective is to display database fields from a selected user input.

Input Prompt Or Mysql
How do I prompt a user for input using mysql. I want the user to be able to input a a person's name which will then cause a query to run giving the required details. I was given this example to work from (from an oracle handbook) but it doesn't seem to work in mysql:-

select empno from emp where mgr = &Mgr_no;

MYSQL Input Meta Tag Info
how can i get the meta tag information code 2 gets for you into the mysql database that you would normally manually put your website information into? Code:

Mysql Data Input Tool
i was wondering if there were any free data input tools for mysql instead of using the command line client?

Filtering Odd Ascii Characters From MYSQL Input
My users are sometimes pasting "funny" quotation marks into their FCKEditor, also some kind of elongated hypen. How can I filter these out before writing the user input to mySQL? Obviously I could filer each one out, but I rather like something more generic.

MySQL 5.0 And Jdbc - Unexpected End Of Input Stream
Is there something different going on with JDBC and the alpha version
of MySQL 5.0? When trying to connect I am getting:

** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **

java.io.IOException
MESSAGE: Unexpected end of input stream

The client machine trying to connect to the server *CAN* connect via
the mysql command line client (ie. is has permission to the servers).
I have tried connecting to version 5.0 installs on both Linux and
Solaris with the same result. If I point the driver back to a 3.23.57
install, it works fine as always. Code:

MySql To Prompt A User To Enter Input
Is there anyway in MySql to prompt a user to enter input and have it populate another table?

Mysqlimport Program
I have been using load data in file command until recently on a windows machine - works fine.

we are now using a Netware 6.5 box and are trying to use mysqlimport from the command line.

I am using:

mysqlimport --password=123456789 --fields-optionally-enclosed-by="" --fields-terminated-by="," 0608c sys:mysqlinstirling.txt

to import a CSV text file into the database 0608c.

the data looks like this

"2007-06-28 16:07:00",0,13.58,15.77,-13.35,-12.69,-13.36,-6.61,-3.821,......

when the program executes it seems to give the desired results except the timedate is all zeros...

Extraction Program
I am looking for a simple extraction/load program to load data daily from a
Progress 8.3B database via ODBC to a mysql 3.23.57 database. It does not
necessarily need to do any data-type transforms. It need to run on Windows
2000 and be able to run it as a service, or as a cron task if running under
Unix.

Setup Program
I'm writing a Java setup program for installing a JDBC app, which connects to a Mysql database.I want to create a script in order to provide final user setting privileges in that database and add it a table, without needing to write Mysql commands.
How can I do it ?

DB Modelling Program
Is there a database (ERM) modelling program for Mac OS X that can handle MySQL? Maybe a freeware one?

Php Email Program
Does anyone know of a php or even cold fusion based script out there for
accessing email that can be customized? Right now I use SquirrelMail
which is great, however, you can't really customize it to tie in with
your web site. Is there something out there that is very flexible that
I could make fit right into my site which is pretty reliable in terms of
web email?

C- Program To Write To Myi , Myd File
is it possible to create a myi, myd file for mysql using a C program. I
am using Stata that is written in C API, and I want to write the data
out to MYSQL database. Using ODBC and loading the data in MYSQL from
STATA takes forever. Can anyone please tell me if I can create the myd
files by using the data in memory thru C programming.

Trigger To Run An External Program
Can I trigger an external program to run when a new record is added to
the mysql table?

The external program is in C and instead of scanning the table
continuously for new insertions, it will be better if an external
program could be triggered.

Can't Update A Field From VB Program
I've just setup MySQL on a Linux machine and I'm using Visual Basic in
Windows to connect to it (using MySQL ODBC 3.51 driver). Everything works
fine for browsing the database (used for stock control), but some parts of
the VB program refuse to update the database. It was using an Access
database (which worked ok) and I'm using the same SQL statement and table
structure.

Here's the SQL statement that VB runs:

SELECT Stock.GJGStockCode, Stock.PartName, Stock.Discontinued,
Stock.UnitsInStock, Stock.UnitsOnOrder, Stock.ReorderLevel,
Stock.ReorderQty, StockSuppliers.SupplierID,
StockSuppliers.OrderCode, StockSuppliers.PackQty,
StockSuppliers.Price, Stock.PartsToOrder
FROM Stock, StockSuppliers
WHERE Stock.CurrentSupplier = StockSuppliers.Position AND
Stock.GJGStockCode = StockSuppliers.GJGStockCode AND
((Stock.UnitsInStock + Stock.UnitsOnOrder <= Stock.ReorderLevel)
OR
(Stock.PartsToOrder > 0))
ORDER BY StockSuppliers.SupplierID, Stock.GJGStockCode

....which works ok for browsing the database. If I change the
Stock.PartsToOrder field in the VB program, when VB trys to update it I get
the error message "Insufficient key column information for updating or
refreshing". The Stock table has a primary key (GJGStockCode), and the
StockSuppliers table has a primary key (UniqueID) which is an auto_increment
bigint.

Does anybody know what I need to do to allow VB to update the database? Or
is this a VB question!?? - Although the same SQL statement works with an
Access database.

Program Refusing To DROP DB
I am getting this problem over phpmyadmin and also over a preprogrammed php script.
When there are more than 30 or 40 selected DBs the programs refuse to carry out any command when I click on the drop button.
They would just take as if there is no command issued at all.....

Anyone know how to make it delete more DBs at one time?
I looked at trhe my.cnf file but don't see any options to do this...
It however runs on small batches but I need it to drop a lot more databases at one time.

PROGRAM TO UPDATE DATA TABLES
I need to be able to DELETE selected record & LOAD DATA from a text file or Foxpro table, from a program that can run continuously.

I've tried Foxpro, but FoxPro views are too slow. I have also tried issuing these command from Foxpro with an ODBC connection established, but that does not work at all.

The object is to remove all records for a member and replace these records with records from a new file.

Each transaction will be up to 50,000 records.

I need to execute 2 commands:
DELETE FROM parts WHERE parts.member_id="xxx"
and
LOAD DATA INFILE 'd:/xxx.txt' INTO TABLE parts

Displaying TEXT Datatype With C Program
I'm currently trying to display the contents of a field which datatype
is set to TEXT, I'm trying to output this through a C program.
the line is as follows:

while((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)) != NULL)
{
printf("SID: %d Sensor: %s",(row[1] ? row[1] : "NULL"));
}

I have trued %c and %s in to print the Sensor name, however %s
crashes the program and %c produces a smiley face.

Converting MS Access Dates To MySQL Dates During LOAD DATA INPUT ?
My insert code is below. The MySQL server is on my local machine and is version 4.1.22. I am exporting from an access table with 6 fields to a mysql table with those 6 plus 5 more fields. The main problem I am having SO FAR, is converting dates. The data file dates are formated like:
2/2/2006 0:00:00, 12/20/2006 9:22:05

Any ideas how to format those into mysql friendly dates?

Also, how do I convert currency fields in the load data process? I know you use SET by what kind of formula?

===========================================

LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:Documents and Settingspath_to_filedata.txt'
INTO TABLE auto
(field2, field3, field4, field5, currency_field6, field7, date_field8, date_field9)
SET id = MD5(UUID())
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
LINES TERMINATED BY '

Data On Separate Drive From Program Files
I have a server that I want to run MySQL on. The server has a 6.4gb hard drive for the OS and applications and a raid array for data that is shared via samba.

What I want to do is install MySQL on the 6.4gb hard drive but have all the DATA saved to the raid array.

Sql Server Not Showing In The Program Files Of Start Menu
I installed sql server in december 2005 and when I look at the control pannel, its there. But its not showing on the desk top or even in the start > program files menu. So how can I start it?

No Input To Db
I am using a db that has not been modified that takes a vote input from a web page and then returns the results of the poll. I have put a sample test set of data in the db and this is returned when the results are returned but it will not take input from the web page.

If I input incorrect data it does the right thing by returning an error. The input is taken from a standard web form and proccessed using a php results page.

Input Parameter
I have created a version history table containing a column with the name of the person who is installing the release. How do I get the MySQL script to ask for this information and use the information in the INSERT statement?

Input Date
I have a date in mm/dd/yyyy format in a text file. I am using a perl
script to update data into the tables. How can I upload the date in
mm/dd/yyyy format into the MySQL native yyyy-mm-dd format without
using any substring functions?

Getting The First Digit Of An Input
I have built a database where the user inputs a postcode (split over two parts) and gets infromation returned.

What I would like to do is write a select statement that only extracts the first digit of the input data for the value used in the query, ie

User inputs - 4BU
The query searches on the value 4.

i have put together the following but it doen't appear to work to well (the value in question is variable $pc2).

$query = "SELECT
  DISTINCT location.postalcode,
  location.postal,
  venue.VenueType,
  venue.Name
FROM
  location LEFT JOIN venue
    ON location.RegionCode = venue.RegionCode
WHERE
  location.postalcode = '$pc1' AND
  location.postal = ('$pc2'+1) AND
  venue.VenueType = '$pc3'";

User Input
How do you write a query which will stop ans wait for user input?

Divide Input
i'm new to mysql, and would like help with something
i'm making a script with which u can create your own polls, and the problem is displaying the answers to choose from

my idea was to enter answers in a textarea dividing them with "enter" (1 in each row) and later, to divide the entry by searching for "/n". the problem is that i don't know how to do that.

Data Input
I have a CSV file and want to load it into mysql.
However, when I used the related query to input the file,
an error occurs: Data too long for column 'Name' at row 2

I tried to ignore the line, but the same problem ocuur again.
The content of the field is not English.

Data Input
is the only way to input data to our database in MySql is using DOS, and typing the data in DOS environment?

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.
