MYSQL :: Windows XP

QNX To Windows
I have a MySQL database configured on a Windows machine and I need to connect into that machine from a QNX machine. Does anyone know if there is available a MySQL connection driver for QNX? I haven't found anything in the web site.

UDF On Windows
Does anyone have a windows version of MyXML? Or hints to compile it? Quote: About MyXML is an UDF extension to the MySQL database. It provides a set of utilities to make generating XML from the database a simple task. It provides routines to encode XML, create tags and return entire queries in XML.

Windows GUI
Does anyone know how to read SLAVE STATUS and other mysql monitor results within a Windows Program? Is there a way to execute MySql commands within Visual Basic?

Windows Box
I am trying to connect from a windows box to a mysql database that is on
a unix box and it's coming back with an error. this is via a migration
wizard. I decided to install mysql client on the windows box and start
mysql and see if I will be able to connect to the database. I have
downloaded the code but I don't know how to go from there

Windows UDF
Just a warning - there is currently a worm doing the rounds attacking MySQL servers running on Windows. Linux / *BSD / OSX are not affected.
It doesn't exploit any MySQL security holes, but attempts to brute force the password. Once in it installs a bot (W00t bot), and connects to a number of IRC channels, advertises it's presence and recieves IP subnets to attack.
Solution:
1) Use a STRONG root password. 'root', 'mysql' or 'secret' doesn't cut it.
2) Limit root connects to certain IP addresses (ONLY 'localhost' is the best). Don't let root connect from '%'.
3) MySQL should RARELY be exposed to the network. Use a firewall and MySQL's skip-networking command.

Mysqlclient On Windows
I'm using the command line client for mysql quite a lot on windows, and it really annoys me that I can't use tabstop to complete table/column names, like I can on our *nix machines. Is there something obvious I'm missing (like a config setting somewhere) or is this just the curse of using Windows, which I must learn to live with?

My.cnf Is Not Available Under Windows 2000
according to the manual,

There are two option files with the same function:
`C:my.cnf', and the `my.ini' file in the Windows directory.

Is it sufficient with only one of the files ?

I have only my.ini

For which purpose is my.cnf , please?

Windows Vs Linux
We currently run our MySQL on linux. Could someone advise me on the watch outs on moving MySQL to windows and also if there is any performance loss as a result?

Install On Windows XP
I cant get mysql to run on my winXP computer. I have downloaded it and
installed , unzipped and run setup.exe and placed it in c:mysql.
I type the command to start the mysql server
c:mysqli mysqld --console

It opens the console and then the console shows some inoDB commands and the
console hangs.

I followed the mysql manual and i cant find the answer
there is no command prompt and nothing...how do I run mysql?

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?

From Windows To Linux
I've got a production MySQL database running on a Linux server, but do my development on a Windows laptop.

I recently overhauled an existing app and needed to write data conversion routines in order for my existing data to map to some new data layouts.

I'm running the conversion on my laptop, so I don't mess up the existing production data. I will be running some tests in parallel before going live with the new app.

When I run the conversion, Windows sets all the table names to all lower case. So when I load the data to my Linux box, the table names are all wrong.

Is there anyway to force MySQL to maintain it's case on a Windows machine so that I don't have discrepancies from one OS to another?

Two Windows Problems
When I try to transfer data to the sampdb by using the < sign
i.e mysql> sampdb < insert_student.sql

The windows dos window is only a few inches wide and I cannot
read the entire error message. How do I get te dos window open
all the way? The little square button in the upper right doesn't do
anything at all.

MySQL On Windows
I downloaded and installed MySQL for Windows this morning, V4.1. =
Unzipped, installed and started the server as a service, no problems. =
Installed the ODBC driver. A-OK

But, the DOC tells me I have to run "mysql_install_db.sh". So, the =
question is, how am I supposed to run shell scripts on Windows?

Mysql 4.0.20a For Windows
i installed just a few days ago the new my sql 4.0.20a server on a Windows Machine

and heart about that the feature "auto_increment = default value" will work now

now i created a new table added some fields and one field shoud be auto_increment and shoud have a default value (which means, mysql shoud then auto_increment up from the given value), but this doesn't work

i can only choose between default value or auto_increment but not both any ideas ?

MySQL 4 And Windows XP
I am having problems running mysql 4 on windows xp. Mysql 3 works fine.
However version 4 won't run. Even if I start the server with the admin panel
it shuts down again after a couple of seconds. This has only been a problem
since I wiped my hard drive and did a clean install of everything.

MySQL 5.0 On Windows 98 SE
I just downloaded MySQL 5.0 and installed it on a machine that I just did a fresh install of Windows 98 Second Edition on.

The install seemed to go smoothly, and when it was done I try to start mysqld from the command line and get this:

C:Program FilesMySQLMySQL Server 5.0in>mysqld --console

Also, when I look in the above referenced directory, the file errmsg.sys is there: Code:

Windows Or Linux?
I am developing a website using php, MySQL and Apache on my home pc which uses WinXP. I am pretty sure that I will not be able to find a web host who will support Apache on Windows, so I guess I will have to go for one that uses Linux. If I do this, is there a serious difference between the way I need to write the PHP code, or is it just the same.

Mysql On IIS Windows
I very new to mysql. I would like to get some advise on which release i should install in my windows 2000 server using IIS.

Setting Up On Windows XP
1) I can run MySQL in a command prompt and create databases when I am logged into it at root happily. But then my application which hasnt got root access cannot see the database. How do I set up MySQL such that myApp can access a database created by root?
At present if I log in to MySQL using MySQL -u MyAPP
I cannot access the database that I created when I logged in as MYSQL -u root

MS Visual Studio 6 question.
2) I have copied all the .h files into my include directory, and the lib files to the library directory. I have fixed the slight bug in the header files that means the system cant define SOCKET (#define __LCC__)

If I just include the headers and compile it all works well. As soonas I try to use some of the C API commands I get linker errors which implies that the library is not loaded. I have added the library and I still get errors. What am I doing wrong here (or more likely, any suggestions for other things I can try?)

4.0.22standard For Windows
I am looking for version 4.0.22standard for windows.

The web server that I am developing on is 4.0.22standard and I would like to upgrade my local version which is currently 4.0.14 to the same version as the remote web server.

Or is there a way that I can upgrade my current version.

Can I Use MySQL With A Mac And Windows
I need to share a MySQL database with a guy that uses a Mac, but I don't know anything about the Mac environment. I use WinXP. He has a server that has MySQL loaded on it. I want to create the database, then both of us want to be able to access it or make changes to it via the web.

What type of products do I need? I figure a good MySQL reference book is a necessity. Is there some type of front end application that he can run. I think I can run Access as a front end once it is set up properly. Am I making sense?

Problem With Windows XP
I have just installed MySQL4.1 and the querry browser. I am using windows XP (home adition). I chose to run MySQL as a service so it is running automatically each time windows is on.

be available that should work?

I would also be obliged if there are also warnings of foxholes on MySQL client-only installs.

Backing Up On Windows
How do I back up files on Windows? I know how to do it on the *NIX platform.
Whenever I run mysqldump, it doesn't export them in sql files to a place that I designate. It goes somewhere else, and I have no clue where that is.

MySQL log is saying that server has stopped normally.

I have been requested to learn mysql server / db design from a new partner. I am happy to have finally realized the option from using MS database's to run my websites.

ERROR 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

At least I found out an error message, thats at least progress. Any help, basically i know that somehow I have to get the mysql server running as a process or inegrate it into IIS .. I just am trying to build websites, running the servers is just going way beyond my little world.

Mysql On A Windows Box
there are two options for mysql when it comes to windows...there is a 'windows essentials' and then there is the normal download.
the documentation says the essentials package, (it's almost half the size) is the recommended one because it has all that is needed.
i don't really care if i download the biggest file size, but if i don't need to, i'll take the smaller package.

Windows 98 Shutdown
Recently I installed mysql on a win98. Some 2 days after the
installation the system started experiencing a problem shutting
down. When shutting down the hard-disk kept spinning sometimes
as
long as 10 minutes.
The same problem was encountered on another win98 computer.
The system is working well with win2000 though..edu.tw

Windows Remote Gui

Windows Service
cofiguring the MySQL Server 4.1 on my XP based system im getting this error message "Cannot create windows service for MySQL. Error:0"

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. Iâ€™d like to develop the frontend with PHP and have it interact with VB as well.

Upgrading MySQL On Windows/IIS- Help?
I am running MysQL Version 3.23.49 on a Windows IIS machine. I need to upgrade it to at least 4.0.16 (to install vBulletin 3.6).

Is there a good tutorial on how to do this? I look at the documentation on the MySQL site but I'm hoping there is more out there to help me.

As well, the docs say instead of upgrading to V5 I should upgrade to V4 instead. I'd like to have the most up to date MySQL if I can so I won't have to do the another upgrade for a while.
