Accessing Mysql/bin Directory Problem


This may be very basic question, that I hope some of you can answer very quickly for me. I'm running mysql 4.1 on windows xp just to learn the database, and I'm in a need to run .exe in the bin directory. The problem I'm having is accessing this directory. The path is C:/Program Files/Mysql/Mysql server 4.1/bin but when I get to C:/cd "Program Files/..." I get an error message saying (parameter format not correct - "program) i have tried several things, as well as following a user guide for changing directories that states that if the folder name has spaces use " to access that subfolder...maybe there is a simple tip ...

any ideas?

MySQL Or Directory Tree?
I'm working on a project where I have about 5 different data structures (objects) consisting of about 15-30 fields each. The size of each object is about 2-4 kB.
The maximum number of objects will be in the range 5000-100000 for each object.

I need possibility to search, add, delete, update and get these objects by ID, NAME, DATE and VERSION only. I have no need for the individual fields of the objects only complete objects as binary files.

When I work with the objects I need access to roughly 5-10% of the objects at a time.
Right now I have all these files in a directory tree under Windows XP with ID, NAME, DATE and VERSION included in the file name. I can do all I need but it becomes too slow sometimes.

Now to my question:
Can I benefit something from moving to a MySQL database when it comes to performance and speed and how should I set up the datbase to make it as fast as possible?

Import A Directory Of Text Files Into A Mysql Database With Php?
I have a directory of text files that i'd like to import into a msql
table... I was wondering if there's an easier way to do this with
php/mysql, I'd like to avoid copy/pasting the entire directory
(thousands of files) into the database if i can.

The directory structure of the text files resembles...

somepath/A/Aerosmith/Song Name.txt - (extention varies)

What i'd like to do is use php to scan the directory and input
the file path information and the content from each file into a table
like...

Dir Artist Song Text Type
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Aerosmith Song Name Fa La La La La (example text) File Ext
B Beatles Song Name Fa La La La La (example text) File Ext

Accessing MySQL From VB6
Does anyone know how to access a MySQL server from vb6?

Accessing Dev.mysql.com
I'm trying to download MySQL4.1 from the MySQL site and when I try and
go to the download section on the site it either fails or, if it loads,
the "pick a mirror site" links always fail.

By "fail" I mean that it doesn't manage to retrieve the requested page,
either sticking on "waiting for dev.mysql.com" or "connecting to
dev.mysql.com" in the status line of the browser, eventually giving up
with an "operation timed out" error message.

Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? - this has been
ongoing for the past couple of days now.

Incidentally, I need a version of MySQL that can handle subqueries yet
I'm still using glibc-2.2.5-40 and Redhat 7.3 (upgrading simply isn't an
option right now) - can anyone suggest a stable sub-version of 4.1 that
fits this criteria?

Accessing MySQL
We currently have several web servers and mail servers that access either a local or remote MySQL server. Remote access is "accross" the internet, but all of these machines are physically in one place. We have decided to build a machine dedicated to MySQL and have all other servers use remote access. What is the best practice for the connection. Should the MySQL server reside on the internet and be accessed there or should we create an internal network using non-routable IPs and only access the MySQL server from there?

Accessing MySQL With OpenOffice
This question is about MySQL and how it can be accessed with OpenOffice
(presumably the same issue would arise with MS Office, but I'm not sure
about that). The problem I'm having is with the setup in OpenOffice.

The database currently consists of a single table, located in
c:MySQLdata. The database is CD_Collection; the table name is Album.
There is no password associated with the database/table. (I'm just
getting started, and wanted to keep it as simple as possible; I'll add
the controls later.)

OpenOffice is version 1.1.2

I'd like to be able to open a text file, and import or link the document
to the database.

In the Data Source Administration window:

- At the General tab, I've changed the Database type to MYSQL.

- at the MYSQL tab, I'm not sure which Type of Connection to check, so
I've tried both "Use existing MyODBC data source" and "Use connector /J3
MYSQL JDBC driver class"

- Under General (still at the MYSQL tab), the Data Source URL shows up
as either "sdbc:mysql:odbc" or "sdbc:mysql:jdbc" depending on which Type
of Connection I check, but I'm not sure what else should appear on the
line (that I should type). I have typed in <localhost>:<3306> and a path
to the database, but I still get the same error as follows when I move
to the Tables tab

- when I click on the Tables tab, I get the following error:

"No connection could be established for the URL
sdbc:mysql:jdbc:<localhost>:<3306>" then the path I've typed.

I'm quite sure the information I've typed in the Data Source URL line is
the problem, but none of the examples in OpenOffice Help lead me to a
solution.

Accessing Mysql From Another Host
New install of mysql on Solaris 10 x86.

I cannot connect from any other host, lots of traffic on google with people with the same error. Talk of the grant command fixing this, but no details. So simple question.

What "exactly" do I type to allow connections to port 3306 from another host to avoid messages such as

ERROR 1130 (00000): Host 'am-ms-t.foo.baa' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server

Accessing MySQL Database.
I have recently installed MySQL 5.0.27 / PHP 5.2.0 / Apache 2.2.3 on an XP os.

I created an empty database via the MySQL command line which is visible when I type SHOW DATABASES at the mysql prompt.

I have changed my root password which works OK.

I set up the password to the empty db by:

GRANT ALL ON database name.*
TO username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password'

To access the db, when I type :

mysql -D dbname -u username -p

I do not get a prompt to enter the password.

Accessing Mysql Server On LAN
I have a problem accessing mysql server on my LAN: i can access it locally but not from other machine.

Accessing A Mysql DB Remotely
I am building a kiosk which uses a lockdown browser. The browser uses a php page to access a MySQL DB on a web server. It will not allow me to connect to the DB because I am using the following connection string:

mysql_connect("localhost","*****","*****");
mysql_select_db("******") or die ('I cannot connect to the

database because: ' . mysql_error());

I know that the problem here is that I'm trying to connect to 'localhost' when the actual DB resides elsewhere. The question I'm asking is how to find out how to connect to my DB. Is it just mysql.mydomain.com instead of localhost or what?

Accessing MySQL Data
This morning when I tried to access my MySQL installation through MySQL Query Browser, all schemas have a message stating "Fecthing Data..." when I expand the schema. If I access MySQL through the command line, I get the following message when I execute a "use" command:
"Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A"
If I execute mysql using "-A", then it appears I can access the data, but it's very slow. Has anyone experienced this and if so, do you know how to resolve it?

Accessing MySql On Yahoo

I have no idea how to connect to MySql on Yahoo from a client like
C# or VFP.


Accessing Remote MySQL Database
Is it possible to access remote MySQL databases?

I manage several sites and I will soon be building a tool that can track all of them, and it would be really convenient if I could somehow access all of the databases from one remote site.

Accessing Mysql Database From Php File
I can access mysql in dos with the command of c:mysqlinmysql -u root mysql but when i write the command of mysql_connect ("localhost", "username", "password") i don't know what my username or password is.

I have installed Apache to run the mysql database and php on my computer although I don't know where to find out the username and password so if someone could help that would be great.

Accessing Mysql Programs Remotely
Is there any method you can use to access the mysql programs (mysqld, mysqladmin etc) from a remote computer? Or do they need to be ran on the server itself?

Accessing Remote Mysql Host
I need to access a remote mysql host from my server. All host permissions have been set but the server refuses to connect. I can use a different one and there is no problem. It just seems to be from one specific host that I can't get access.

Error 1130 When Accessing MySQL From Another IP??
I am trying to run the MySQL DB on a Linux machine that is part of a home
LAN (IP=192.168.0.3), while trying to access it from another WinXP machine
(IP=192.168.0.5). I keep getting the following error:

MySQL Error Number 1130
#HY000Host '192.168.0.5' is not allowed to this MySQL server

Ping works fine.

On searching the internet, I find reference to "allow list" hidden somewhere
in the guts of MySQL. Can anyone provide me hints on how to add to this
list?

Accessing Mysql After Fresh Installation
I have recently installes mysql -4.0.0.1 on my redhat 7.1 machine . After
installing when enter into mysql it gives me message " Access denied for
user root@local host .......using password yes"

i have tried all the options like

#mysql -u root -h localhost
#mysql -u root -h localhost -p
#mysql -u root -h localhost -p mysql
#mysql -u root -h localhost test -p
#mysql -u root -h localhost test
#mysql -u root
#mysql -u root mysql

but none of the option is working at all.

Please any idea how i can change the root password or enter the mysql after
fresh installation.

Accessing Mysql From Command Prompt
The path to my mysql installation is "C:Program Filesxamppmysqlin".

Any extra drivers required for this?

Accessing MySQL Data Via ODBC
I keep going back and forth on this as to whether it's an Oracle issue or a MySQL.

Not sure if this is allowed, but I've cross-posted this question in the Oracle: Oracle release - 8 and 8i forum, with a similar message there that it is cross-posted here.

Scenario: I am successfully accessing MySQL data via ODBC through Oracle's Heterogeneous Services. There is a problem, however. Hence, this post. Suppose my query looks something like this:CODEselect "f1","f2","f3" from MySQLTable@MySQLDB

Accessing MySql Thru Coldfusion - Password Problem
I have downloaded MySql 5.0 for Windows (XP) and MySqlCC so I can interact with it. When I installed MySQl I created a username and password which I can see in "my ini" file. I don't remember creating any passwords through mysqlcc.

I am building a database driven website using "macromedia studio MX" and am experiencing problems accessing my Mysql database through that software - I keep getting asked for a login ID and password, and for the life of me, have no idea what they are.

1. When I originally added my database as a 'data source' in Cold Fusion (MX 6.1 administrator) it would not let me create a password. I kept getting error messages like "The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: 'martin'@'localhost' (Using password: YES)" etc etc etc variations on that theme. (adding the database without a password wasn't a problem)

2. Now I am trying to create a dynamic page in Dreamweaver (using Coldfusion) to display my data – there is a 6 point process in the ‘server behaviors’ tab and I’m up to the last one “press the (+) plus button and choose ‘Recordset (Query).

WHEN I SELECT MY DATABASE AS A DATA SOURCE IT ASKS ME FOR A "LOGIN ID" AND "PASSWORD."

I've tried all the passwords I can think of that I used and nothing works, the error message I get is:
"-1:Syntax error or access violation: 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 'wine like '%' at line 1. this is then followed by about 27 lines of commands like "at org.gjt.mm.mysql..".bladedblahdeblah "
(I am creating a database of wine tasting notes)

Accessing Mysql On Win2003 Server From A Station
I have installed Mysql on a Win2003 server and it is running as a service. I created a database and it works ok on the server logged on as root.

I then tried to access the database from a station on the network using PHP code and I get the error - Warning: mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client in G:InetpubWWWrootIntranetookingacc.php on line 10.

Do I need Mysql Client on the station or does it run on the Server by default?

Accessing MySQL BLOB Columns Using Visual C#

Accessing MySQL By A Client-side Application
I'm going to start an application that runs in a desktop computer but access data on a MySQL server in a remote computer (internet).

Error Accessing MS Access Table Linked To MySQL
I create the linked tables without any problems, clicking on "save password"
before selecting the desired tables. I can then access both tables fine from
within the Access GUI.

The problem starts when I then try to access this data from my ASP.NET web
application - classic ASP works fine but .NET gives me...

ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] ODBC--connection to
'MyDSN' failed.

From then on, the Access database remains locked (.LDB file in the same
directory) and I get a similar error when I run my ASP page, which
previously worked. Code:

What Directory For Basedir ?
What should i set my basedir to ? I thought /var/lib/mysql would work.

I am trying to run /mysql_upgrade script but it keeps on bitching about the basedir - can't find the mysql command line client. Which file does this refer to ? Code:

NAS Vs SAN For Data Directory
I am trying to decide which storage I should use for the "Data Directory".
My application has lots of 'SELECT's (80%) and fewer
UPDATEs/INSERTs(20 %).

I have the following choices of Data storage

1) Xiotech SAN (66 Mhz FCAL)
2) NAS
3) Internal SCSI 3 RAID 5

Will I achieve any better performance using one storage vs the other
storage?

In the past (for about 2 years), I have I used SAN with 33Mhz FCAL, and
the performance has been quite exceptional. And I have encountered no
problems.

Directory Name Invalid
For testing purposes I have PHP installed and I have MySQL installed on my local laptop. Windows XP Pro

I am just learning both of them. I have read quite a few chapters in the MySQL Manual. Enough to allow me to get around in MySQL and directly create tables an view information in them, upload .txt files into the tables, etc etc.

I am receiving an error when I try to connect to MySQL via a PHP script.
I have no problem connecting to MySQL via Command Line.

The error I receive is "The directory name is invalid."

Here is my code... I am not sure where to put the directory name or where to put the directory path in order to make it valid. I am not sure what directory it is talking about.

<html>
<head><title>Connect to MySQL</title></head>
<body>
<?php
//connecting to the mysql server uses a mysql_connect command.
$link = mysql_connect("locoalhost",$_POST['username'],$_POST['password']) or die("Connect Error: ", . mysql_error());
echo 'Successfully Connected.
';
mysql_close($link);
?>
</body>
</html>

Where exactly would I put the path to the directory or where would I name the directory?

Filerights To Certain Directory
How can I give(grant?) the mysql database rights to write in directory /opt/guide/www.domain.com/HTML/upload/test

How should I set my rights. A local user 'userA' should have the rights. How should I set these privaliges without opening the gate for everybody?

Membership Directory
I know this is probably a dumb question for all the experts out there. But I have to ask because I'm trying diligently to work at home and want to be successful. How difficult is it for someone with an Access background and pretty fair understanding of differing programming lagnuages to build a member directory that currently house 16,000+ members. The client wants it done by 8/1. I have yet to sink my teeth into a real web database, shall I take the chance? I'm a quick study and have taught myself most of what I know. I've basically gone to school to learn little things I've missed to Ace a class on something I already know, but is mandatory for my degree.

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. I’d like to develop the frontend with PHP and have it interact with VB as well.

Using INSERT To Write To A Directory
I have a problem that I'm not sure if it can be done. I'm trying to
use the MySQL C API to be able to use a normal sql insert statement
that will send the data or file to a directory and NOT the database.
I'm not sure if there is anything out there that will allow this, but
I've searched everywhere, and I have found no solution.

Errcode 17 In Temporary Directory
I run a web server (on IIS) with a big site on it. It has php5, mysql 5 and odbc 3.51
It has 640MB of ram.

at random times I get this error (not always the same file, but similar):
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.27-community-log]Can't
create/write to file 'C:EasyPHP mp#sql_3fc0_0.MYD' (Errcode: 17)

If I go to that directory and delete that file, the problem disappears.
But until I do this the pages display a mysql/odbc error and nothin works. So if it happens at night or when I'm out, my website will remain down for a lot. Really annoying problem!!

I googled the errcode 17 and found out that it can be caused by:
- directory permission problem > this is not my case, I've given correct permissions
- an antivirus performing a scan in the temp directory > this is not my case

So what is this?! Code:

Create A Directory-search
I'd like to create a form to search in my database that is a directory. It contains an important list of persons with their names, firstnames, telephone numbers etc. Do you know where I could find a script to help me? I'd like to create a multi-criterions form.

Creating A Community Directory
The goal is to create entries for a Community Directory:

Smith John Sally
8786 Regional Way
Somewhere, OR 97224
Child1 Child2 Child3

Using the following code I've been able to get close, but the records are repeated for each entry in the fam table:

select concat(hld.l,' ', hld.f,' ', hld.sp,'
', hld.ad,'
',hld.city,' ', hld.st,' ', hld.zip,'
',hld.ph,'
', fam.ff,' ', fam.rel,'
') from hld, fam where k = fk order by hld.l, fam.rel

Smith John Sally
8786 Regional Way
Somewhere, OR 97224
Child1

Smith John Sally
8786 Regional Way
Somewhere, OR 97224
Child2

Smith John Sally
8786 Regional Way
Somewhere, OR 97224
Child3

Obviously, I need a way to collect these multiple records into one record like the initial sample above.

List Directory Files
Is there a command in mysql that could list directory files?

Arrays And Altering Directory
I am new to this forum. I intend to share my knowledge of MySQL wid everyone here and also gain more than wat i can share. My queries are:

Optimizing A Large Phone Directory
I have a table with names and contact information for a bunch of people (we'll call it a phone directory -- it's not, but confidentiality prevails ). To get twenty people to display on a single page, I'm using this query:

SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY lastName LIMIT 20
Pretty straightforward, but for some reason, with a few hundred thousand rows, this is taking a very long time (and I do have an index on lastName, which doesn't seem to help). Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

Also, would it be quicker to have separate firstName and lastName lookup tables with firstNameId and lastNameId columns, using this query:

SELECT p.*, f.name as firstname, l.name as lastName FROM people p LEFT JOIN firstNames f ON f.id = p.firstNameId LEFT JOIN lastNames l ON l.id = p.lastNameId ORDER BY l.name LIMIT 20
Unless there's some obvious problem or solution I'm overlooking, the only other thing I can imagine is having ANOTHER table with the alphabetical order of the last names, which might speed things up but seems somewhat unwieldly (though doable, if necessary, since I won't be adding people too often).

Hopefully there's some simple problem I'm not seeing (which may be, since it seems like MySQL should scale better than this).

Changing Database Directory Location
Is there any way to get MySQL to create the directory for a new database
in a specified directory instead of its "data" directory?
