Blank Username In Mysql Db


Using a Virtual Private Server -UNIX & Apache 1.3.22 & mysql 3.23.46

I was able to create the mysql root password, however the system will
not let me create the admin password (which is supposed to be the same
as my account name).

When I checked the database to see the current names, this is what
I got below: Code:

PHP Script Inserting Blank Text Into MYSQL
Have been following a tutorial which has following line in PHP script to
write text form Flash form into an MYSQL DB and then redisplay it back in
the form

Relevant code is:

$Connect = mysql_connect($DBhost, $DBuser, $DBpass) or die("News=Uh Oh,
Could not connect");
mysql_select_db($DBName, $Connect);
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $table (UserName, News, TimeAdd) VALUES
('$UserName', '$EnterNews', '$Today')", $Connect);
Print "Status=News has been added";

When I execute this web file only the $Today string is updated correctly
into DB.
$UserName & $EnterNews which are text fields from the flash form are
blank/null entries into MYSQL DB
If I manually change data in field via MYSQL console each field is displayed
correctly so my read script seems to work.

Can anyone point me in correct direction to solve this one. Is it the way I
have connected to MYSQL or should I be looking closer at the flash form.

Username For Mysql
when I signed up to mysql, I got a root password
Which is what i use to sign in to mysql.
But,no user name.
( I know to use root but i would like to change it)
Does anyone know how to go about doing this or at least
point me in the right direction.


MySQL Username
I downloaded an application that uses MySQL, PHP and IIS.
What i did, I just copy the PHP files in c:inetpubwwwroot and run http://localhost/newweb/install.php.

During installation, it asks for MySQL username which i dont know because during installation of MySQL 5.0 , I was not asked to enter username, only password for the root. I tried typing root for MySql username but states that "Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client".
What username will i enter? It says to try FTP username account which i also dont know.

Forgot MySQL Username
When securing down the Windows 2003 server that I use for MySQL I followed the advice of dev.mysql.com and changed the root username to something else. Under step 12 for securing your windows box for MySQL it states to do the following command.

mysql> USE mysql;
Database changed
mysql> UPDATE user SET user='bob' WHERE user='root';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.23 sec)

I changed my username (while forgetting to write it down before I hit enter), and hit enter. The list of commands above show that I should have gotten back a response and still would have been able to see what username I typed. But that isn't what happened. For some amazing reason the command prompt closed and the commands must have completed, because now I can't get into MySQL anymore.

So is there a way that I can go about finding out what the h*** I typed? If not, can I do anything to undo, or reset the username? If I have to reinstall that is fine, but I'm not sure how to do that without losing all my data.

Mysql Username Limit
My mysql 4.1 has a username max char limit of 16, how to enlarge it?

MySQL Username Lookup
I installed MySQL about a year ago on my machine here at home but have only used phpMyAdmin to access it. Using MySQL and phpMyadmin, I was able to load WordPress and run a blog for about a year.

A couple of days ago, I downloaded the GUI Tools bundle and MySQL Administrator is asking for Username and Password. Problem is that I've forgotten what the Username is. Is there any way to find out what that would be?

Making Mysql Username And Password
im setting up phpAdsNew and they ask for my database (mysql) username and password...
i go to google and search on how to create usernames and passwords and i choose the link on mysql.com...

it tells me to do this:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database TO 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;

i do that and all goes well...i go back to the installing of phpAdsNew and put in the username and password i made...

it still doesnt work... so could someone tell me if thats how to make a username and password in mysql or if there is something wrong with phpAdsNew... and i'm using the mysql command line client to put the code in...just incase you need to know that.

MySql Username / Password And Config
Firstly USERNAME AND PASSWORD? You define them where? Edit them where?

http://localhost will not work on my computer, how can I make MySql run from 127.0.0.1 ?

Lost Username And Password To MySQL Server....
I have been using the MySQL control center and had my usernames and
passwords for the MySQL server stored in the control center.
I recently lost everything on my PC including the usernames and
passwords.

Does anyone know if there is a way to reset or remove the passwords
from MySQL so that I can make new ones? I do have the root password for the server that MySQL is running on.

MySQL ODBC Connector Username Issue
I am having trouble connecting to a MySQL db using the ODBC Connector. I've tried 2.5, 3.51, and even an alpha of v5 and all get the same error.

The error says [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Domain (xxx@xxxxxxxxxx.x) not found Disconnecting.

It appears that the username only accepts 16 characters. I am trying to connect to a hosted db and I can't control the username.

I've seen this happen on some machines but not others. What is going on and how can I get connected?

Just Installed MySQL And Administrator, GUI Tools Want Username Password.
I just installed MySQL and the GUI Management tools. The tools are asking for a username and password. What username and password? The only password I entered during install was for something else I believe?

Blank Page In Php Page With Mysql Query
I've installed PHP 5.1.2 manually, along with MySQL 4.1.18. Any php page that contains a mysql function displays a blank page .
I read many article on mysql and php configuration and did not find any issue ...

I copied the libmysql.dll to the system32 directory
I set the extension_dir in php.ini to the extension directory of my PHP installation directory
I enabled the MySQL extension in php.ini by uncommenting the line extension=php_mysqli.dll

I tested the mysql connection from a dos prompt it worked , i can check ith a show database the list of the databse .
But each time i put come synatc mysql in a php page the resultis a blank page .

I read that we neee in php5 mysqli.dll but I found only mysql.dll do i have just to renme it..?

Non-blank Fields
Is there a way to select all non-blank fields when doing a select statement in SQL?

For example, I want to run the query "Select * from <tablename> where username = <username>"

The result set contains many columns that are completely blank, as the database I'm working with contains over 100 fields. Is there a way to tell it not to display those blank columns in the result set?

How Do You Get The First Blank Row In A Column.
How do you get the first blank row in a column.
I have tried
select * from table where column = '';
but this is not working.

Zero = Blank = Space
how I can change it if possible:

mysql> select count(*) from property where number = 0 and number = "" and number = " " and number = " ";
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 43 |
+----------+

First Blank Row In A Column
How do you get the first blank row in a column.
I have tried
select * from table where column = '';
but this is not working.

Blank Fields
In the  table for my fields even if I pick the option
"do not alow null". I noticed when  I save the tables with out entering anything in the fields it let me save  with out promting me and saying "null not allowed"

I belive in some other databases if you have picked "not null" for a field and try to save it with out entering anything it will not let you save.

Parent_id: NULL, Blank Or 0
My categories table looks like this:

category_id
category_name
category_parent_id
custom_category_name
custom_category_parent_id

I will be using COALESCE to get the first non NULL value when I query category_name, category_parent_id, custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id like so:

MySQL
SELECT category_id,
COALESCE(custom_category_name, category_name) AS category_name,
COALESCE(custom_category_parent_id, category_parent_id) AS category_parent
...

I have set the default value of custom_category_name and custom_category_parent_id to NULL.

category_id and category_name will always be present.

But what should I set for category_parent_id? Sometimes it won't have a value (when the category is a parent category) and sometimes it will have a value.

Should I set category_parent_id's default value as NULL or 0 or blank?

Eliminating Blank Values
I have a database randomly scattered with 'NULL' values, being a
newbie to mysql, I was wondering if there was a single command to
replace all 'null' values with a string 'no data'. all the fields are
set to hold 255 character strings.

Ignoring Blank Fields
Im having a problem where im allowing the user to identify a row by 1 of 2 unique fields. The problem i have is that my current query states to either take a OR b...
so my query looks like this. a = $a OR b = $b

Now these unique fields can also contain a result of null. Which means that im returned with more than 1 result when only 1 of the unique fields is entered. Is there a way of escaping results that contain null in either of the fields?

How To Delete Blank Entries
I want to delete all entries from a table that have blank values. How would I do this?

Test For A Null Or Blank
Please look at this sql:

SELECT name, visual_no, type_aid, aid_topic1, aid_topic2, aid_topic3,
length,
date_format(when_made, '%m-%d-%y') as when_made,
reserved, date_format(res_beg, '%m-%d-%y') as res_beg,
date_format(res_end, '%m-%d-%y') as res_end,
notes, no_check, check_out,
ge.genreid, gen_short_description, sb.subjectid,
sub_short_description, specificid,
spe_short_description
FROM aids ad, tbl_genre ge, tbl_subjects sb, tbl_specific_subject ss
WHERE aid_id=1280
AND (aid_topic1 = ge.genreid
OR aid_topic1 is null)
AND (aid_topic2 = sb.subjectid OR aid_topic2 is null)
AND (aid_topic3 = specificid OR aid_topic2 is null)

This is for an audio visual library (dvd, vhs, etc.) The database for record 1280 (and many others) contains in the genreid a number (it has data in other words). aid_topic2 and and aid_topic3 are either blank or have the word [NULL] in the field. I am using MySQLCC, if this matters.

This SQL brings back a cartesian product. if I just keep the SQL without the ORs it will not bring back a row because there isn't always an equality between the main table and the lookup tables. Sometimes the main table has a row that has no value in the topics and therefore does not equal the lookup table. I did not design the table. I inherited it.

Blank Date Field
How do you determine if a Date field is blank. In my Sql statement I
only want records who's date field is blank (i.e. checking for only open
invoices where Date_Paid = '' ...still open ...it doesn't work when I use
that syntax)

When Restarting The Service, Blank Password
When I stop the service and restart the server, it takes blank/wrong password for any user account including root. Only after I reset the password for root, then the passwords for all the other accounts work fine. What is causing this problem? I don't have the root with % host. And all users under user table in mysql database has passwords set.

Blank Password When Restarting The Machine
I mainly use MySQL Administrator to create/update table/users/etc. And I noticed that whenever I restart my machine (Windows 2003 Server with MySQL database running) and login to the MySQL Administrator, it takes blank or wrong password for any user account including root. So I end up resetting my root password. Does anyone know why it keeps happening?

Blank Columns Or Separate Tables
I have a form with 8 fields, 4 of which are required and 4 are not.
Usually if a field isn't required I would create a separate table for it
rather than having a blank value in the table where required values
would go. In this case, I'm not sure if I should put all the not
required fields in one table or separate tables. Since any one of them
can be or not be blank.

I'm trying to find a balance between normalization and practicality for
the database, as well as programming.

So, are columns with blank values acceptable to a certain number? Are 4
separate tables too many, so that there aren't any blanks in a column if
they were in one table?

Statement Results In Blank Page
I'm constructing a blog for my site. After I got nowhere trying to automatically configure dd-mm-yyyy dates on the fly, I decided just to write the dates manually and order the posts by automatically incremented id instead.

However, in constructing my monthly archive pages I've come up against a problem. Here is the PHP I'm using to get the info from the database:


$blog = mysql_query ("SELECT title, content, date FROM blog WHERE date IN ('August 2005') ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10") or die(mysql_error());


The date column in my table is VARCHAR and all the entries so far contain the characters August 2005 but all I get is a blank page. I'm using this while loop to display the results:


while ($entry = mysql_fetch_array($blog)){
echo '
<p class="blogdate">
'. $entry['date'] .'
</p>
<h2>'. $entry['title'] .'</h2>
<div class="blog">
'. $entry['content'] .'
</div>
';
}

Enter Null In A Blank Field
How would I enter a Null in a blank field from a query.  I have several fields in a table that may or maynot have information in them.

I need to export all those fields, I want to have all the blank fields filled with Null so that when I export the table info I can change the Null to another value.

Passwords, Permissions, And Blank Users
I have Apache 2 server, PHP5, and the latest MySQL installed on my system. I'm currently reading PHP and MySQL for Dummies (I told you I was a newbie) and trying to work through a few of the examples.One thing I noticed when I looked at the "users" table in the "mysql" database is a blank user with all privileges on localhost. I deleted that entry, set a password for my "root" account, and created another account with a non-blank password.

The problem I am having is that I am trying to connect to the database as "root" with a blank password, and it's still working. I then tried a blank user, and it worked. I tried a random assortment of letters and numbers, and it worked.

Removing Blank Tabs In Rows
Some of my earlier rows (Database is about 360mb) have blank tabs between text, i can I modify each row and delete the tabs so the size is smaller? I searched php manual didn't find a helpful function, maybe someone else has done this?

Saving Storage Space On Blank Entries In DB
If I have a table, of say.... people, with their names, ages, addresses
etc., and some lines in the table have the ages BLANK, how do I make
sure that the blank fields are not taking up disk space? Does OPTIMIZE
TABLE do this, or is another command?

How To Change Cell Values From NULL To BLANK?
In the result of a SELECT statement, how can you change cell values
from NULL to BLANK?
The following does NOT do it:

SET fieldname = ' '
WHERE fieldname IS NULL

Also, for colums with a DATE data type, I want to change 0000-00-00 to
BLANK.
For for colums with a numeric data type such as DOUBLE, I want to
change 00.00 to BLANK.

Again, the above doesn't work. How can I blank those fields?

Blank Page When Attempting To SELECT Data
We're storing data in a mySQL database via a php script. For some reason, every week or so (depending on how many connections were making) my PHP scripts just quit working. Restarting mySQL resolves the problem.

I've checked to make sure that all of the scripts are closing the database after posting/selecting the data. Any other suggestions on why this might be occuring?

Prefix Blank Lines To A Simple Select Query
I would like to display a certain number of blank lines before the output of a select query, ie:

SELECT Var1, Var2 FROM SOME_SOMETABLE UNION ...?

What Field Type To Use To Avoid Blank Spaces In Fields
Can you tell me the best field type to use here?

I've got a table in mysql with all 5 fields defined
as tinytext

Problem is when I export this to to a text file for notepad
each field is padded out by several blank spaces,
and i think my eamil program doesnt like this type of structue :
field1 , field2 , field3 , field4

Username?
I use the default mySQL username (root) in localhost and i want to upload it in my hosting's server using another username (e.g. : whutadilly) is it possible to do? or should i change mySQL username on localhost or what. i've read the stickied thread "Importing and exporting data with phpMyAdmin" but i wonder if its for different usernames.

Username And Pwd.
I have installed the database...and downloaded mysql administrator and mysql browser from this site.But I dont understand what username and password I need to enter?? I tried entering this site's username and password but it failed.

Username Question
I've got one little question, maybe a little silly, but where can I find my MySQL password? I've installed apache, PHP and MySQL on my computer, for learning PHP and MySQL, but to use MySQL with PHP I need the username of my MySQL account or something, but I don't know what it is and I can't remember I once set a username.

Seleting The Id Of A Username
Basically what I'm trying to do is make a delivery system, what the system does is the user enteres a name of a person, this then grabs teh users id and and inserts that id in to a database along some other details, that the mian bit I need help with the other bits I have sorted.

$invitedinfo=mysql_query("SELECT id,username,address FROM users WHERE username='$inviteid'");

Then what I want to insert is for '$inviteid' to be turned in to the id of the username which it is being paried up with at the moment.

1 Username Databases?
Many ISP:s offer web-service with MySQL - with 1 user / 1 database.

Have I understood right that this means there is that 1 read/write user
only, and no chance to make read-only username, so only chance is to put
username/password with write-rights into scripts?

Setting Up A Username
I am both the user and the admin. I am using winXP, and I am the root. This is all happening on one laptop since I am using Apache as a server. I have to ONLY provide mysql with my password to get into my database.

My Q is how can I assign an actual username to myself, so MySQL connects my password that is already in use with the new username which I don't know how to create?

Forgot Username
I wanted to export a mysql database so i can take it to school. i did some research and i found out this is how to export a database:

# mysqldump -u username -ppassword database_name > FILE.sql

unfortunately, i dont remember my username! Is there any way i can find out what it is?

I am using Windows XP and MySQL server 5.0.

also i have tried using 'root' as my username

'Username'@'localhost' OR %?
I created a new user using the

grant create... on *.* to 'username' identified by 'password';

When I tried to use mysql.exe to change to Old_Password the row was not found initially. Further investigation highlighted that the account was to username@% rather the username@localhost that I had anticipated.

what is the username@% and can it be used in the same way as username@localhost?

Username On Install
The *** thing wont let me in, so secretive are these clever sprites!
Installing mysql is simple enough (latest version), apache and php work together happily - but not mysql.
My problem seems to be the username, as the basedir (default) and the datadir (my own within My Documents) should be OK in the my.ini file. But nowhere did it ask for a username.
When I try to connect it says 'No way, go away root@localhost' and whatever I try in place of 'root' - it still wont play.
Where/when can I choose the username to force it, screaming, to let me connect to it
(Win XP, mysql-essential-4.1.11)

Change Username
I have installed MySQL 4.1 (after much trouble with firewall, password format, etc!!) but I would like to know if I can change the MySQL username on our local MySQL server from 'root' to something else. I know that password is changeable.
I like to test my scripts on my localhost before uploading them to the server. But the problem is that the MySQL username on our webhotel is not 'root' therefore I always have to go into our configuration files before uploading and change the username. This is a pain.

Incorrect Username
I added a new user to the mysql database by means of SQLyog. I specified test as "New Username", and wxpfvdb01.fvdb.local (an existing host on my network) as "New Host". I left the password blank, and selected all privileges for this new user.
When i tried to connect as this new user, i got the following erros message : access denied for user: 'test@WXPFVDB01' (Using password: YES).
The Full Computer Name of my system is: wxpfvdb01.fvdb.local, and this name is dynamically registered in my DNS Server (both forward and reverse zone).
I get the same error message when trying to connect with other programs (mysqlc, mysql qdministrator,
It is clear that for some reason the client programs put the netbios name of my computer after the @.

Request | Username
I didn't found a good example to set the three % to single variable characters...


My sql string =
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE username LIKE '".$_SESSION['user'] &&& $_SESSION['domain']."' ORDER BY username ASC LIMIT $current_page, $results_per_site");
