Turning A Column Into A Row

Turning On Logging
I have a database that has various information submitted to it from the internet. I am having problems with people hacking/submitting info that shouldn't be submitted. I don't know how they are doing it but I though that if I turned on the Logging for that particular DB maybe it would give me some clues i.e. IP addresses, ISP, date/time info, SQL Statement executed etc.What form of logging would I need to turn on?

Turning Off Foreign Key Checks
Is it possible to temporarily turn off foreign key checks in a db? I know how to do it from the mysql prompt but I have a number of scripts using Java, etc which seem to be breaking because of the table ordering with respect to foreign keys does not seem to be honored (tables with FKs are declared before the tables the keys refer to).

If there was some way to turn off checking for a db, run all the creation and import scripts I have, then turn the checking back on it would save a ton of effort.

Apostrophes Turning Into Question Marks?
This may be easily resolved but I haven't ever encountered it before. I am entering text into my mysql database that contains apostrophes. This field is generally around 500-800 characters. When I add the information, there are apostrophes but when I go back to use the information, all of the apostrophes have been changed into question marks.
Any ideas how to keep the apostrophes? or why they are being changed?
Also, if I go through and change all the question marks back to apostrophes, they will stay apostrophes!


Turning On Slow Query Logging?
Background: I paid a young admin set me up on a database server. He installed the basic I needed for the server...at my request...No Cpanel...mysql and apache and some tight security w/o even a domain name to SSH into. Unfortunately, he's a busy kid, and teens sometimes don't realize that people depend on them...and well, I can't really seem to get him to do much so I gave up and figured it's a good way to force me to learn all this myself...
Well anyway, now I want to turn on Slow Query logging. But before I do that, I need to know how MySQL is running. Is SQLogging turned on already? Where is it logging to? So first thing I want to look up is, when the server is rebooted, what's the command to restart mysql? No clue. How do I change the setting? And of course, the server is production, so when I make the change, it needs to be quick, it needs to be smooth, and I need to be able to roll back to the previous config if necessary.
I'm running Redhat Enterprise.

Turning Localhost To A Network Server
I have a small home network with two computers. On my computer I am running MySQL 4.1.21-community as localhost. I have only be using this for development work.

My husband wants to learn SQL so I would like to be able to have Mysql Query Browser installed on his machine, with him accessing all the databases I have set up on my machine.

How do I go about giving him access to my databases?

My machine runs Windows XP and his runs Windows 2000.

Turning Off Allowing Multiple Non-unique Rows

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I have a problem connecting to sql and can't find anything on the net to solve the problem.

I have some sql databases running on a server. when I'm root on the server and I want to login to sql I do "mysql -ustudent -p -Dwordnet30 and it works fine. when I'm logged in with the user account on the server, i get this error message:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

so with the same user name in mysql, i can log on when i'm root, but not when i'm the user. the grant table for the user looks like this: Code:

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I just installed mysql on linux. If I open a terminal, su to root,
then type "mysql", I am able to connect to the server and run my
queries.

If I exit out of su so that I am my own id (baisley) and type "mysql",
I get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

Any idea why? mysql.sock has full permissions (read/write/execute), so
it should be accessable by user baisley. If I am baisley and I run
"mysql -u mysql" (as mysql is the user that the RPM set up), it will
connect.

What I would like to be able to do is run this without having to be
user mysql all the time. How do I go about setting that up, or is it
better to run all my queries/make tables as 1 user?

PROBLEM: (The heart of the matter)
Starting simple, created GridView Control using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, a few glitches here and there, used the MySQL Connector/ODBC v5.00.11 followed instructions. Can see database in Database Connections Window but when I try to connect the GridView Control to it I get:

"Database schema could not be retrieved for this connection. Please make sure the connection settings are correct and that the database is online.

ERROR [HY000][MySQL][MyODBC 5.00.11][MySQL] 2006 MySQL server has gone away"

Had thought that "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express" might be messing with the ODBC driver so thought to download the .NET Connector. That's when it all went bad. The documentation does not say how to install or use the connector or where to put the files. It seems to assume that these bits of information are common knowledge and I suppose that if I had kept up with the technology it might be. But alas I didn't and it Isn't and It Don't work.

I've checked paths and connection settings and don't see any problems. My guess is now that the problem is coming from the opening and closing of the DB. my script, c_register.php uses a require_once('../mysql_connect.php') to open the connection to the database. But I also have a function definition in c_register.php that uses require_once('../mysql_connect.php') when called because it needs a connection to the DB. Here's a visual that might help:

MySQL Error Number 2003 :: Can't Connnect To MySQL Server On 'hostname'(10065)
I was running an older version of the query browser a while back to connect to an older version of mySQL (3.0) running on a linux box. The server hasn't changed, but the query browser has been upgraded to 1.1.10. I can't go back to the older version of the query browser because the machine that ran it got re-formatted so I downloaded the new version and installed it.

So ... I get the following error when I try to connect:

How To Configure MySQL ODBC Driver To Connect To A Mysql Server On My Own Side Of The Router?
Using MS Access, I have attached to MySQL servers in other states
and other countries on the other side of my router. But when I use the
MySQL ODBC driver 3.51 to connect to a MySQL server on my own LAN,
the driver tells me it cannot make the connection. Here are the ODBC
driver connection parms:

Data Source Name: (free field - name my "my linux box" will do nicely)
Host/Server Name (or IP) - something like MSQLUserName@ServerName.net
has worked fine for me in the past. Now I'm trying 192.168.1.106
Database Name - whatever, mysqldb works fine, any valid db

User - root
Password - myrootpass

Port - 3306 has worked fine 4 me N the past. Dunno whether 2 use now
SQL Command On Connect - haven't ever put anything here

Perhaps there is some configuration in mysql user privilege for the
mysqluser "root" that would prevent him from logging from a remote PC
to the mysql server?

Table Rows Inserted By Embeddded MySQL Cannot Be Retrieved By MySQL Tcp Client
I have encountered a weird behavoir of embedded MySQL. Through a
simple program I made (in Delphi 6), I can insert rows to a table
through embedded MySQL and I can retrieve the rows from my program.

But using mysql.exe which points to the same table (through 127.0.0.1,
with the same basedir and datadir), I cannot see the rows I inserted
using my embedded program. Another way around, the rows inserted by
mysql.exe can be seen in my embedded program. But after a row is
inserted by mysql.exe, the rows inserted by the embedde program are
deleted (or cannot be queried).

Can anybody explain why is this? Is there a way to fix it?

MySQL Variables, Modifying Microsoft SQL Sequence Insert For Use In Mysql
I have the following microsoft SQL statement that inserts 25 new
records in sequence. However I am trying to modify this to work in

the code below to work under mysql? Code:

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
I've installed MySQL-4.0.14 under RedHat 8, using both rpm's and compiling
from source. When I try to run MySQL, I get the following error: Can't
connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

After much searching on Google, and reading many newsgroup threads on this
error, as well as reading the manual, I'm still stumped. Most of the
advice I've found suggests that the path to mysql.sock is wrong, which
makes sense, but I don't have the file mysql.sock anywhere on my machine,
so obviously I can't correct the path.

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I just got mysql 5, from mysql 3 or 4 (can't remember it's been so long). I can't seem to get a connection. I searched and found http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/unix-post-installation.html#starting-server

Here is what it says to do, I don't know enough to be able to follow. Please advise:

If you have problems starting the server, here are some things to try:

* Check the error log to see why the server does not start.
ME: How? Where?
* Specify any special options needed by the storage engines you are using.
* Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory.
ME: How?
* Make sure that the server can access the data directory. The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must be set such that the server can read and modify them.

MySQL-error : Can't Connect To Local Mysql Server Through Socket
On a freshly installed Fedora C3 (incl. webserver apache php mysql) i get
the following problem when connecting to mysql through a browser
(phpMyAdmin)::

#2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

On the website of MySQL this error is mentioned but I found no solution.

In /var/log/messages the following log occurs :
localhost kernel: audit(....): avc: denied {write}for pid=2458
exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=hda13 ...

What I have tried :

- mysql.sock is srwxrwxrwx, seems ok, but dont know what the s stands for
- the dir /var/lib/mysql was drwxr-xr-x and I changed it to drwxrwxrwx : no
effect
- tried different version of phpMyAdmin : same error
- installed my website and got the following error : No connection possible
with database (in the next version I will improve the error-messages)
- through commandline there is no problem in connecting to mysql (log in,
create databases, inserts, deletes, uploading dumps, making dumps, ....)

What is the solution or what else can I try ?

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB
I have MySQL server running on a Solaris machine. I have a Perl tool that is run on multiple operating systems (Linux, Solaris, MKS on windows, CYGWIN on windows). I would like to post to the MySQL database on the Solaris machine from this script when it is run on the different local clients.

Is there a Perl module that I can install in the network share that I can use to connect remotely to the server DB?

MySql: Select Database And Perform Mysql Dump

Question Regarding MySQL Interface Options And MySQL Vs MS Access
First, there are many applications available for interacting with MySQL. One of the things that frustrated me at first was the CLI. I know that it's the foundation and understanding syntax is critical to making it all work in the end, but when dealing with large datasets, I feel that a GUI makes life easier at times.

So, I started out with phpMyAdmin, seems to be 'the' geek-preferred application. I also ran into a few shareware ones here and there as well as Navicat, and I recently learned that there are 2 apps from MySQL.com for administrating the DB and creating queries.

In your experience, what seems to be the best MySQL interface application? At the moment I couldn't say *exactly* what I'm looking for, but more-or-less something that will ease the headache of creating queries and managing users, tables, etc.

Question #2:

I have been hired to be a Web Developer, Network Admin, and Database Administrator all-in-one. We have are a retail company selling peuter goods and have a product line-up of about 100 items. The President wants a robust database to deal with everything. Right now we use MS Excel for our needs. He says it's becoming cumbersome and wants to move on. I suggested MS Access because that's exactly what it's built for, companies that have been running in Excel and want more robust control over what they're doing. But the president keeps hearing this 'MySQL' buzzword and wants a MySQL database. Fine with me, I just know Access better, that's all.

I've been cramming PHP & MySQL down as fast as I can and am starting to feel more familiar with both technologies. At the moment, I feel MySQL to be more of a headache (my fault I'm sure, I just don't know it yet) But For Example:

To properly normalize a DB, I sometimes have to break a table into 3 tables. The first and second are no problem, but the third 'association' table is annoying (at least doing it CLI or phpMyAdmin). See, Access, you just make 2 tables and graphically set associations very easily.

So, from what you know of MySQL, do you think it would be still superior to Access seeing as we want to integrate it into osCommerce eventually and possibly some of their user contributions?

Using MySQL 3.23 Driver With MySQL 4 (and Borland DbExpress Drivers)
I've been playing with the Borland dbExpress Drivers, and it would appear
that Borland only have beta drivers for MySQL 4.x.x

However it would also appear to be possible to access a MySQL v 4.x.x
database using the 3.23 client libraries (i.e just get libmysql.dll from
3.23) can here see any problems in doing this?

The only ones I can see is we'll loose some features such as the ability to
use encrypted SSL connections.

Import Dump From Unix Mysql To Windows Mysql
I am trying to load a dump from a MySQL database on my ISP's server to my development environment on a Win 2K machine (running MySQL). When I run the mysql command to run the load script, MySQL gives the following complaint:

hat corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'D

Now what I need to know is how do you restore these database files to another server? I tried simply untar'ing one of these to the new servers /var/lib/mysql/ direcotry and it stuffed Mysql up - it went offline. I had to get a cpanel tech to bring Mysql back online.

Different Results In Mysql & Mysql Query Browser?
I've come across an extremely strange problem. The exact same query in
both mysql command line client, and mysql query browser gives entirely
different results. I was hoping someone out there could shed some
light.

Ok, the query (I've stripped it bare, the real query is a bit more
complex)...

Each person in the people table has an associated 'place', which is an
integer that maps onto a suburb in the suburbs table. The 'place' CAN
be NULL.

so, for all intensive purposes, the schema is roughly:

MySQL AB: MySQL - Use A Out Parameter In An Insert Into Statement
I have a stored procedure that inserts a new passenger into a database. The fields are name and email. The passengerID is a auto increment. The database I am using is mySQL.

The problem is that I want to return the passengerID when the stored procedure is called. I am not sure if that is possible. Here is my code:

Store procedure in mysql

MySql Problem With Unicode, MySql Connector/Net And C#
I have a problem regarding unicode characters and MySql.
I am using MySql 4.1 and MySql Connector/NET together with
C#.

My question is whether I' am making a silly mistake (or not),
by not being able to store unicode characters in a simple table.

The database I have created is supposed to be in unicode:
'CREATE DATABASE test CHARACTER SET utf8'.

Now, connecting from C#, i am trying to write into a simple
table, with one column, the value 'u0120u0121u0125u0411'
but when I am retrieving the value from the table, '????' is
returned as a result.

I don't know if its relevant, but i have checked that the
server and connection are using unicode encoding:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_server' which returns
'utf8' as a result.

also:
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'character_set_connection' returns
'utf8' as a result.
