MYSQL :: Utility To Convert Between MySQL Versions?

Benchmarks Of Runtime Versions Of Mysql Or Other Sql Versions Sqlite Hsqldb
mysql vs sqlite vs hsql

First of all i'm on a win32 platform using java. I also have mysql
installed. My question isabout benchmarks and multiple inserts &
selects
SQLITE: http://www.sqlite.org/
HSQL: http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net
I current have a mysql database of approx. 80mb.
Each day I Insert approx .5mb of new records into this table,
and I might also run mutiple Update, Delete, and Select queries as
well.
I'm trying to get an idea of how fast a sql database engine will run
given that is is inside of the JVM. I know it's going to be slower
than a db engine written in C and that's a trade off for being
portable to different operating systems.
What I want to know is how much of a trade off though - I don't want
to have to wait 10 mins or deal with screen freezing... Right
now on a windows platform using mysql things move really fast.
Can anyone give me an idea of the time delay needed to do these
Inserts in HSQL (ie: how much does the jvm slow things down)..
Thanks in advance

MySql Load Utility
When using the load utility on a CSV file, it seems I always need to
edit the input file and add an extra comma after the last field in
order for MySql to parse the line properly.

I use a command like:

LOAD DATA INFILE 'absolute path to file.csv'
IGNORE
INTO TABLE table-name
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED
BY '
' ;

for an input file created on a Linux system and I always have to add
the extra comma to the end of each record in order to get the records
loaded correctly.

Does anyone have some experience with this and can provide some
suggestion?

Also, is it possible to use the mative MySql load utility to load a
fixed-format input file? From everything I am reading it seems you
have to use some other language like perl or python or php, etc in
order to load a fixed-format file.

Graphical Backup Utility For Mysql
I am currently reviewing our backup procedures. Part of the issue has been
finding the right fit. There are obviously backup products that provide
mysql agents but unfortunately can not for fill our complete backup/disaster
requirements. I have evaluated bakbone, arkeia, brightstor, veritas. I am
currently looking at evault, commvault and ipstor.

I am now looking to separate mysql from the rest of the backup. I am
looking to use a standalone graphical (web interface) utility that can
schedule full and transaction backups on a hourly basis and save the
resulting files to a shared drive (either Direct or NAS). It would be nice
to have easy control to restore data to a table level or roll forward/back
through transactions.

Mysql Command Line Utility Help Facility
I have installed MySQL 5.0.18-nt on my Windows XP PC. So far everything looks good.
One slight question about the command line utility; everytime I use the help command it does not find anything. Even "help contents" doe snot find anything. Is there something I can download and install so that the "help" command will be able to find the data for which I am searching.

MySQL Versions
I am using MySQL 5 on my computer but the web-hotel I am contemplating to use only use MySQL 4.0xx. Can I use the database without modifying it? Or do I need to "convert" (downgrade) it for MySQL 4.0xx? If so, how do I do that?

Running Two MySQL Versions
Actually what I want to do is remove 4.1 because I downloaded 5.0 and installed w/o removing the previous version. I now have port 3307 for 5.0. Is this a problem and how can I change it back to 3306 so e.g. when I use Apache/PHP evrything works?

Two Versions Of Mysql On Same Unix Box
I have mysql 3.23.58 version running on my unix box. I installed a new application on it which need mysql version > 4.0 so I thought of having two mysql versions running on the same unix box. I have first installation in /usr/local/mysql and I untared the new version in /var/local/mysql-standard-4.1.18-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23.

I am following instructions given in http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/multiple-servers.html I also created a empty file and named it as mysql.sock.new and stored it in /var/local. When I try to start this new version from /var/local/mysql-standard-4.1.18-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23 using ./bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/var/local/mysql-standard-4.1.18-pc-linux-gnu-i686-glibc23/data & it says "A mysqld process already exists". Please tell me where I am going wrong and how to configure it properly?

Row Select In Old Mysql Versions
We are using MySQL version 4.0.20-standard.

Our application requires a query to do a row select. From what I have found this version does not support rownum. We are unable to update the version of MySQL. Can anyone give us some support.

Running Two MySQL Versions
It seems that my computer is running two different mysql versions. When I'm trying to login to the database it refuse my password and giving me access to the test configuration. This is what i get in the event viewer.

Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
Event id 100.

The problem occur when I changed my password for the database. I have turned off Mysql in local services but i think that that's the original version. When I start the xampp i think it starts the winmysqladmin version (not sure). How do I reconfigure the hole thing and how can I see what's running on my machine.

I actually have another question to. I'm trying to run and open the shell mysqladmin which doesn't work. It's just a flash, which one of them am I supposed to run?? You have several options like mysqladmin, mysql, mysqld, mysqld-nt....etc. I opened the winmyslqadmin which i think wasn't that good.

Downgrade MySQL Versions
I need to move a MySQL database created with MySQL 4.1.22 on PHP 5.2.3 to a different server with MySQL 3.23.58 on PHP 4.3.8.
Is it possible to convert the database to do this?
Alternatively, is there a way to export from the newer version in a format that the older version will accept?

Can Run Two Versions Of MySQL In Windows 2000?
I have been running 4.0.13 for several weeks now and though I'd like to =
test 4.1.0. 4.0.13 is under c:MySQL. I downloaded 4.1.0 under c:4.1 =
AlphaMySQL. When I try to launch mysql it brings me to the old =
version, how do I access the new one without killing the old one? (I =
have also tried putting 4.1.0 on a totally different machine and linking =
to it also.)

Previous Versions Of MySQL With XAMMP
I've downloaded XAMPP for Linux 1.5.1 for use on Fedora Core 4. I notice it only has the latest version of MySQL on it. I'm working on two web sites (for different clients) and they are hosted on different shared Linux hosting servers (with PHP), each with different versions of MySQL available, i.e:

MySQL 4.0.25-standard
MySQL 3.23.52

Is it possible for me to use older versions of MySQL with XAMPP? Could I just turn off MySQL in XAMMP and just run and older version of MySQL independently of XAMMP? If I can then how would I install multiple versions of MySQL in Fedora Core 4?

Symlinking Between Different Serveurs And MySQL Versions
I have a hosted server where we have both web and intranet share a same database. For interne reasons we need to migrate the intranet onto one of our servers and keep the web on the hosted server.

We will thus have the database splited in two. Our intern server willl have MySQL5 and our hosted one will remain with MySQL3.23.39 at list for a while longer.

I would like your advises on the faisability of using symlinking to access the tables on the hosted server from our intern server, knowing that MySQL version are different. The tables on the hosted side are MyISAM.

The main idea is to avoiding using replication to access comon tables on remote servers.

Selecting Correct Versions Of MySQL
I have searched this forum and google to try and get a comprehensive answer to this question but i haven't found anything yet.
I am looking to select the correct versions of MySQL, Apache and Php so that they all work together. I notice that there are alot of issues with various different versions sets being chosen and there seem to be instances where it can be very problematic if the wrong one is chosen.
I am looking to use InnoDB and would like to use the latest versions of everything as possible but it doesn't really outline anywhere what works with what best. There are lots of cases that outline what can be problematic but i'm trying to avoid this if possible and find what isn't problematic.

Trouble With NATURAL JOIN Between MySQL Versions
I have this query which works perfectly well in MySQL 5, but doesn't work in 4.1.
I know there were some changes made to join syntax between the versions but for the life of me I can't figure out exactly what I need to do to fix it:

SELECT Status, UserName, FontName, FontPath
FROM AccountInfo
NATURAL JOIN AccountPrefs, Templates.Fonts
WHERE AccountPrefs.HeaderFont = Fonts.FontID
AND UserID = '$userID'
works fine in v5, but in v4.1 I get the old "Column 'UserID' in where clause is ambiguous".
I'm trying to match the UserID in AccountInfo and AccountPrefs, I just left the font thing in there as well because I'm not sure if it's contributing to the problem.

Alternative To Group_concat For Early Versions Of Mysql
Is there an alternative to group concat, if you are using a lower version of mysql. If any one has any ideas it would be great, currently my code (thanks to some one from these forums) looks like this.

SELECT c.clientID, group_concat(ci.interestID) as interests
FROM Clients AS c
JOIN ClientInterests AS ci ON c.clientID = ci.clientID
GROUP BY c.clientID
HAVING find_in_set(1, interests)
AND find_in_set(3, interests)

Is there any way of doing this on a lower version of mysql?
Is it possible to wirte a function similar to group_concat?

How To Detect If Different Mysql Versions Are Installed/runing
from my InnoSetup setup :) I need to detect if any version of mysql is runing on my windows. Others sugested to check fo a mutex or a Class Name(dont know what are these) or Windows Names or Look for a mysql*.exe, so is there something common for mysql starting with v3 .. v5? I mean what is the thing that i have to search for, to know at least if mysql is runing.

For mysql v3 there are the posible runing files:
mysqld.exe
mysqld-max.exe
mysqld-max-nt.exe
mysqld-nt.exe
mysqld-opt.exe
or on Win98 only winmysqladmin.exe?
For mysqlv4 .. im not sure yet
For mysql 5 seems to be more simple, only
mysqld-nt.exe

Do I have to search for all these files(and others that I dont know yet :) ) to be sure that its not runing?

Dbdiff Utility
Does anyone have or know of a utility that will generate SQL to upgrade one
MySQL database to look like another?

For example 'dbdiff db1 db2' generates the SQL statements that can be
applied to db1 to look just like db2.

Any suggestions short of comparing the database schemas line by line?

Mysqldump Utility
We have taken the Backup of MySQl database with version
mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.8, for pc-linux (i686) Using mysqldump utility.

We tried to Restore the Same in another Linux System with mysql version mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.13-rc, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.0 using the same mysqldump utily

It is giving Version mismatch error and unable to restore the Database. We also used --compatible=mysql40 Option but No change

A Decent Utility
I have tried multiple utilities to backup and restore mysql databases... I say large in my header but they are not really. They are just to big to restore with phpMyAdmin.

I can't tell you how frustrating it always is when I try to do this... there will always be some kind of error when I try to do it. I have tried various utilties and nothing seems to do the job properly. You know those days when everything you try fails?

Yes I know I can break them up but surely there must be something that can do this for me on the fly reliably?

Query Log Parsing Utility
Are there any utilities out there to parse useful information out of the general query log?

I'm looking for the basic - who logged in when and for how long.

Utility To Display Relationships
Does anyone know of a utility that will create a visual representation of my db?
Access has a feature that kinda helps with this

Migrating A MySQL Db From Plesk Over To CPanel - Possibly Differant Versions Aswell ?
Hey all. As title, i had hosting on a plesk server, but was migrating everything over to cPanel due to a better package.

Ive run into some problems though, mainly due to differant versions i think. Anyone know of a way around this as it would be alot of work redoing the whole sites again

Compress Using 'myisampack.exe' Utility
My intention is performing compress table using 'MYISAMPACK.exe' utility.
But, if once a query issued, I found that "myisampack [table_name]" is not work for the query-issued table. After flushing table("FLUSH TABLE [table_name]"), myisampack.exe is work correctly.

What it happens if clients attemp to issue query while compressing is working.
Does table locking automatically work?

Unable To Run Mysqlimport Utility ( Throws Error )
I am trying to use mysqlimport utility to import data into world database into a table called 'citylike'

This is the syntax i am using

mysqlimport -u root -b -pmypass --FIELDS-TERMINATED-BY="|" --FIELDS-OPTIONALLY-ENCLOSED-BY =""" world "C: mpcitylike.txt"

mysqlimport: unknown variable 'database=world'

Note : Fields are terminated by | ( pipe ) symbol
and they are enclosed by a double quote

It gives this message
mysqlimport: unknown variable 'database=world'

where am i doing a mistake ?

Versions
I have MySQL 5.0.24 installed on a XP Pro SP2 PC. The latest version is 5.0.41. I looked at the change logs and they say they are bug fixes only. Have there been any security issues with 5.0.24 that I should be aware of? Do I need to move to 5.0.41 to be safe?

Run 2 Versions
Is it possible to run both
MySQL 3.23 and
MySQL 5,
at the same time on the same machine with php4.3.0 and apache 1.3.27?
What should I consider ?

Two Versions
I wanna run MySQL 3.23.54 and MySQL 5.0 in the same Redhat Linux 9 box at the same time. Is it possible?

How Can I Convert Mysql 4.1 To 4.0

Convert Csv To Dbf MySQL
I'm used to using phpMyAdmin to upload csv files to a MySQL database. GoDaddy, however, has modified (I assume) their installation so that it won't allow this. One can only upload MySQL formatted dbf files. Neither do they allow remote management with software such as Navicat. My question is this...

In OS X is there an application, plug-in, etc that can easily convert an Excel spreadsheet into a properly formatted MySQL file so that I can upload using GoDaddy's mod? I've searched high and low, spent hours trying to find something. I'm sure there's a very simple answer--hopefully one other than having to manually retype the entire spreadsheet.

Convert Sql -> Mysql
i have a table 'forum' with
id - topic - user - datum - comment

What i want is a table with only the max date with the corresponding user grouped by the topics
so i can set the last message was post on ... by ...

i found the solution in SQL:
SELECT topic, user, datum
FROM forum t1
WHERE datum = (
SELECT MAX( datum )
FROM forum
WHERE topic = t1.topic
)
But this give a Syntax error in MySQL

Can someone convert it?
Or does anyone know the solution?

Convert XLS Into MySQL
Most of the tools I try are demo/failed
please help me to convert xls into mysql.

Convert MySQL To DBF
I would like to know if it possible to convert MySQL to DBF?
I have managed to convert MySQL to DBF by using DBF2CSV to create the CSV and then using mysqlimport to get the data into a MySQL table.

Has anybody used mysql2dbf successfully because I have recently tried running this program on Debian but I get this error message:
"Segmentation fault"
The program creates my DBF file but just doesn't fill it with any data, any ideas on this one at all?

Differences Between Versions
We have two versions of mySQL running; version 4.1.15 on a couple of local machines under Windows XP Professional and our public database running 3.23.58 under Apache.

I was populating a new field in our members table based upon a match to a table called region using the following query

UPDATE members,region set members.FPosition_Id = 19
where region.Region_Commodore_Id > 0 and
region.Region_Commodore_Id = members.member_Id

The query ran fine locally (ver 4) but gave a syntax error on version 3. Is there a list of differences/updates between these two versions? Does version 3 not support update queries using multiple tables?

I tried parenthasizing the where statement but that made no change.

Versions Of AMP On Windows?
I am somewhat concerned that i have the right versions
of AMP on my Win XP system so it will all work together...
Is there some link that (in simple terms!) tells which versions are safe
together?

I currently have MySQL version 4.0.20d, with Apache 2.0.52 and php
4.3.10. Is this the best combination?

Two Versions On Same Machine
I had MySQL 4.2 - working fine. I saw version 5 is now stable so I downloaded and installed but did not run it (I think!). Carried on with 4.2.

Then one day MySQLAdmin and Query would not log me on. I checked via the cmd line utility and when I typed in the password the window dissappeared!

I opened MySQLAdmin again and reconfigured the log-on o 3307 (I remember this was default when I installed 5.0). OK, the server must be running. So keep with 5.0 as I managed to restore one of my schemas. I wanted a later version which is only in the 4.1 directories and copied it across BUT 5.0 does not see it. But when I go to stop and restart the 5.0 server in Admin as soon as I go to the server tab to do this it stops automatically! AND will not restart.

Comparing Versions Of Sql
I'm taking up a new position and have never used sql before although use
and code in lots of other languages. When doing a bit of survey I find
many many versions of commercial and public versions of sql. Can anyone
tell me if the syntax is generally similar or are they completely
different. If I invest time learning mysql on XP or Linux will that be
useful if I end up using something like Oracle later on? The only one I
would avoid is MS.... like things that work occasionally.

Removing Old Versions
I loaded a new version of Mandrake Linux 10.0 CE and have also installed and dowloaded a new version of MySQL 4. I'm not sure but think I have several versions installed and running ...

How can I check to see what is installed, what is currently running, and then perhaps remove them all and start by installing single new copy?

Compatibility Between Versions Of SQL
Hi! Would like to enquire if different versions of SQL are compatible to one another.
I've done some code in PHP and which requires access to MySQL on my server. I have tested it on localhost and everything worked fine. Hence, i decided to upload both my code and the database i created to the server. That's when the prob started. I received this msg while trying to view my page:

Could not connect to database: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111)

what this is about? For info, my MySQL version on my personal computer is 5.0 while that of the server is 3.23. Are the database compatible?

Convert Informix To MySQL
I have data that was created using Informixâ€™s dbexport command. Since I know nothing about Informix I want the data to be put in a MySQL database but I have no idea how to do this... but I'm sure someone here can lend me a helping hand

How To Convert An Access DB To MySQL DB?
I have a client who would like me to convert their Access DB into a mySQL DB for use online with a live search function for their website visitors.

I am using a MacBook Pro so I hope there is a tool out there for OSX (Intel). If not, I can also run Windows XP on the same laptop.

Convert Ms Access Db Into MySQL
I have migrated in 2007 from (Ms Access to Oracle) to MySQL. We have webistes that we have developed with php/apache/mysql.

We also got the new project now that was developed already, now we need to convert from ASP to PHP & Ms Access to Mysql.

I am struggling to import the Ms Access database into MySQL. Can someody help e with the guidlines on how to import msaccess to MySQL?

Convert Access DB To MySQL DB, Is It Possible?
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to convert an Access (97 I believe) database to a MySQL database? Are there any tools that can actually convert the tables with it's data from one to the other? Or does anybody know of any shortcuts to speed up the migration?

MySql Convert To Money
Is there a way to output a "money" type in MySql?
Say I have a decimal "1234.22222", I want it displayed as "$1,234.22"

Convert MSAccess Db To PHP And MySQL
I created an MSAccess db a few years ago that I want to use online. My ISP uses PHP and MySQL. I was able to convert the db to MySQL using DBTools Manager Professional and create alot of the forms for individual tables by using PHPMyEdit. I don't know how to re-create some of the forms that use lookup values or queries (let alone if or how you create a lookup table in MySQL or create sub-forms)

I've been reading up on PHP and MySQL but unfortunately, like a lot of us, do not have the time to develop the skills and I was at one point hoping there is a software package or process for doing the complete migration. After my limited research I figure that I should take a different approach. Rather than try to migrate what I have, I should maybe rebuild using the tables and forms I have already converted and get some help from others.

The ultimate question is then: Can I post the process my MSAccess db does in hopes that someone can tell me how to build it in PHP and MySQL?

Convert Filemaker To Mysql
I'm in the process of converting a filemaker db to mysql. What I need help with is in the interface. This is a multi-user filemaker db, one server, many clients. When filemaker boots, you can tell it whether it's the server or client, and if a client, where the data resides. The interface does all the record locking, etc.

I'm now starting on an interface in PHP. I'm assuming allI have to do is a record lock when someone does a mysql query to see, add, or delete data. Is this correct or am I forgetting something?
