Help Please! Migration To 5.0, Binary Fields Default Value Not Working...
This is the $sql statement that worked just fine yesterday, but today is giving me issues with the binary fields since my host moved to mysql 5.0.27 The fields boa, boe, selectable, and live are all binary fields with no default value. When this statement executes, they are assigned "" as a value which does not resolve to false in php and is messing up all new data entered. I have tried changing the default value for that field to "0", but still when no value is supplied it is set to "" This has totally broken a previously quite functional database, Any help please? I am pulling my hair out on this. I JUST put some forms up live after weeks of testing, my host pull this change last second on me and I have to yank all the forms down and tell my admins to stop working because I can't figure out why none of my entry forms work anymore. Is there something wrong with the binary datatype in 5.0.27? ....

NULL Default Value
I have a simple table. I'm using phpmyadmin. As you can see my default values for NULL are 0 but for some reason wen a null value is posted to the database it appears as "NULL" instead of "0"....

Setting Cols To NULL By Default
For a developer who's making MySQL tables strictly for website content, and who is very confident that his PHP site will unerrorneously integrate with that database: should he make his columns NULL by default or no?Currently the code overlooks empty sets, cells, etc. where necessary; like I said, unerroneous.Right now it's just an issue of being technically correct, if you will. Never cared to set default values.NULL or NOT NULL ?

User Name Null And Socket Default
I installed mysql 4.1.11 in a linux workstation and started it new. I have 2 problems 1. socket defaults to /tmp/mysql.sock. <- How will I change the default socket to another directory where it actually resides. 2. When I enter in mysql, and do something the user name is forgotten and hence I get this error message. (I tried with both --user option and without it.) Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql' When I work as a root user there is no problem.

Key1 Without Binary And Key2 With Binary
I have two search keyes, key1 and key2. The following is where clause. where say like '%#key1#%' and say like binary '%#key2#%' I have to use binary for key2 like the above. Now I like to make the following where clause. say like '%#key1#%#key2#%' The where clause above will retrieve all records which has #key1# and #key2# in that order. My problem is in the use of binary, i.e I have to use binary for key2. I can make it like the following for using binary. say like binary '%#key1#%#key2#%' But the code above makes not only key2 but also key1 bianry. Key1 doesn't need bianry but key2 needs bianry. How can I make the where clause key1 without binary and key2 with binary? The following would-be code doesn't work correctly, but it'll show what I want. woudl-be code say like '%#key1(non-binary)#%#key2(binary)#%'

MySQL 4.0.17 Data Scrambles, Not-null Fields Become Null, Etc.
I'm having the most bizarre problem with PHP/MySQL that I've ever faced and it's an urgent matter (of course) to try to fix it ASAP. We have one record inserted into a table with 75 columns, whereby half of the columns are not-null, but for some bizarre reason, the fields are null. The rest of the columns that are null are completely scrambled (e.g. "first_name" is in "address2", "fax" is in "url", "url" is in "last_name", etc.) This just recently occurred and seems to have no history otherwise. It occurred sometime on Saturday when the record was inserted but logs indicate no unusual activity at that time. Has anyone seen this before and found a way to prevent it from occurring again?

CREATE TABLE :: Null And Not Null
I recently created a new table in a database and wanted some fields to accept nulls (NULL) and others to not accept nulls (NOT NULL). The table was built correctly, however, when I went to edit a row in the Query Window of MySQL Browser it allowed me to enter in the row when the NOT NULL fields had no values attached to them - this should fail and stop me from entering a row. Here is the script for the table I created; CREATE TABLE SLG ( SLG_ID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, SLG_CODE CHAR(1) NOT NULL, SLG_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, SLG_DATE_CREATED DATETIME NOT NULL, SLG_DATE_MODIFIED DATETIME NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (SLG_ID) ); When I apply the changes in this window it just enters NULLS into all the other fields. Is this a Query Browser issue. I tried doing the same with an INSERT statement and received the same result. Also - related to creating a table - is it possible to create global Defaults on a database and then reference those in the DEFAULT statement of the CREATE TABLE command. MS SQL has a system function that can be executed after a table is created to bind a global default to a specific column.

If I change it in phpmyadmin 'structure' to Null=NO and Default of [empty field] then it allows records to be inserted with no 'firstname', and 'firstname' shows empty in the column

In Table viewer of Query browser, each time I insert the first field, it sets the datatype to INTEGER,NOT NULL, AUTO INCREMENT. But I change it to VARCHAR as needed. Do I have to/should use Integer type in PK field and can Varchar be incremented. 3.Can I set user privilege to a particular row (on a particular PK); HOW? 4. Is it correct/incorrect that the name of the foreign key has to be the same as the name of the corresponding PK. I saw that in MySQL I can easily change the FK name to anything else and then just make a reference of FK to the PK. 5. How can I make a one-to-one relationship in MySQL;

Binary Log?
I need some advice about how long I must keep those long binary logs created by the RDBMS, I read the doc and I understand that those logs are needed in the case of db recovery, since they have all data involved in updates and deletes, they tend to grow to really huge sizes. I don't use the replication features, so... I think is safe to delete old log files, but how old?, is safe to delete the logs files of the last month or something like that?

MySQLD Binary Log
We've been using MySQLD for a few years now quite happily. It's amazing how well it performs. However, I have a minor issue, and I'm not sure how to deal with it. I've scoured the manual, searched list archives, the web, etc., and am coming up empty. Somehow, the server is recording the Binary log in the data directory. Each of these log files takes up a gigabyte. This would be all well and good if we were using the server in as a master in a replication setup, but we are not. It WAS formerly acting as a master in a replication environment, but we've long since made it the only SQL server on our network. We've removed (commented) all the lines in my.cnf that deal with replication, and the log-bin is one of these lines. To clarify: the log-bin line in the my.cnf file IS commented with a hash-mark (#). The server has been restarted since this change, and "SHOW MASTER STATUS" returns an empty set of data (only showing the field names.) the SQL command RESET MASTER does nothing. It does not delete the hostname-bin.### files. the mysqld commandline parameters follow: /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/ --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/inferno.pid --skip-locking We're running version 3.23.41 for pc-linux-gnu on i686, running on SuSE Linux 7.1, kernel 2.4.18 #2 SMP on a Dual-Processor Pentium II 450MHz server.

Continuous Binary Log
what would work even better for me is if the relay file were continuously updated without actually performing the database changes to the slave. This way my backup server does not need to be bogged down with database operations and can do other things or not require as much hardware to keep up with the master. I tried SLAVE STOP; but noticed that this prevents the relay file from being updated at all. (SLAVE START; resumed the updating of the relay file) So SLAVE STOP; won't work.

Binary Attribute
I have inherited a database that has one of the fields created as varchar(16) binary. It is actually a password field. So I needed to update a password for a particular user to do a test. I just did an update: update database set password='password' where login_name='desireduser' The database updated the password but I could read the word: "password". The other passwords are in binary so I can't read them as English. So I thought of the password() function. I then tried another update: update database set password=password('password') where login_name='desireduser' Again the password was not put in binary form; I could read the actual word. The problem here is that the user can't log in when i do this. Yes that is a web app issue. But it is related to this issue that I am reporting here. So my question is how do you get a string or integer to appear as binary if you can't just use an update statement?

Binary Logs?
My environment: 2 servers, 1 shared storage, redhat cluster keeps mysql running on one node at a time. Not using replication or Mysql Cluster. My need: I'd like to move my binary logs to the local device of whatever server is the primary server. My problem: If I move my binary logs to the local disk (from the share, where they are now), what happens during a failover? If db01 fails to db02, there will be no binary logs waiting for it. Now, I THINK those binary logs will just start up again, but I can't be sure. Lets say they do just start populating, brand new: what happens if i fail back? When I fail back the database will suddenly have old binary logs. What's a sys-admin to do?

Binary Log Index File
I'm trying to write a script to weekly remove MySQL logs, the general, error and binary log files. Following the MySQL documentation, I've written a script that moves all current log files, then executes mysqladmin flush-logs. My question is this on the binary logs (bin.001, bin.002, etc.): once these are removed and flush logs is executed, the binary log files start over with bin.001. HOWEVER, the binary index file does not appear affected by the flush-logs command; ie, if I'm up to bin.003 in the binary.index file, remove the files and execute the flush logs command, I'm back to a file names bin.001, although the binary.index file still has entries for bin.001, bin.002, bin.003, etc. How does the binary index file stay current when you remove the logs?? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=...sie.nctu.edu.tw

The reason I need this is whenever I take a full backup/Binary backup using mysqldump/mysqlbinlog I would like to execute the reset master command because I dont need the statements in the Binary log because I already have a backup..

Loading Binary Data
I have a large data set of binary data files and I'd like to create a database so that I can search on the data contained in these files. I'm new to database development but from what I've seen it is only possible to store & search variables in the database in text format. Is it possible to load the files as binary variables and still use MYSQL commands to search and manipulate the database? For example, assume a file contains a variable X which is a 32-bit floating point number ranging between 0 and 10. Does the variable X have to be converted to text first (possibly using a C program), stored into another text file, which is then loaded into the database/table? Or is it possible to load the 32-bit floating point number directly from the original binary file and perform a MYSQL query looking for instances of variable X with values 1.2 and 4.8?

Add A BINARY Data Table
Is it possible to add a data table in BINARY FORMAT to an existing database which runs on a linux server with apache webserver and MySQL database? Our hosting provider keeps telling me that they need a plain ASCII format in order to add the table but the programmers who did the database programming keep telling me that it should be no problem to add a new table in binary format to our existing database. I am no programmer at all and kind of sitting between the chairs now. Our programmer tells me I should switch to a different hostign service which is able to use the binary format of the table and our hosting service keept telling me to get the ASCII version of the table in order to get it uploaded and inserted in our database. I hope someone on here can give me some instructions which I can forward to our hosting service so that they will be able to get our binary data table into our database.
