Creating A Website Forum: Use Existing Website MySQL Db Or Create A Second Db?
I am getting ready to start coding my own forum.... to seemlessly integrate it into my existing website. My question is this; should I: a) create the new forum tables in my existing database (used for the website user accounts etc.), OR b) create the new forum tables in a separate new database (it would be on the same server with same u/n p/w) Which one is the better option? I've been banging my head over trying to decide which way to go...

No 'BACKUP TABLE' Nor 'BACKUP DATABASE' In MySQL 6.0.4
I've installed MySQL 6.0.4-alpha and trying to restore some tables found that there's no BACKUP/RESTORE TABLE/DATABASE, it returns 'You have an error in your SQL syntax' and to check the corresponding version manual, but in the documentation area it is only 6.0 (does it apply to 6.0.4?) What can I do? I've exported from a different database version as text and I will try to insert as text, but how can I make future backup/restore?

I dont think security risks would be a big issue because the only thing I would be transfering would be products which dont have any sensitive info connected to them. but is there a way? if not I will just have to do it manually...Im just trying to be sufficient.

Displaying MySQL Data On Website
Currently, our neighborhood directory is in Microsoft Access, and every few years we would have it printed professionally and bound. I have Reports which formats the data for the printed directory. I would like to add the directory to the website, to replace printing it. I can easily create the tables and insert the data. I'm not sure how to go about displaying the directory data. Is there is a way to create a report and display that? Each entry represents a family in the neighborhood, but the fields that contain data may vary from family to family, such as the kids field. Also, I want multiple entries on a page - like a phone book.

MySQL Versioning Of PHP Data-driven Website
I have a website that I am designing that uses a bunch of PHP scripts to generate pages for a website from data stored in an underlying MySQL database. I have the PHP scripts under CVS, and using Apache and mod_rewrite I am able to access different versions of the website from the CVS project - each with their own set of PHP scripts. The problem is this: I would like to version the MySQL database as well. This means that there would be multiple MySQL databases, with slightly varying schemas on the server. Each PHP version of the website would point to a corresponding MySQL database for its data. Multiple PHP versions could point to the same DB, as long as each PHP version has SQL statements matching the schema of the correspoinding DB. One version of the DB would be a live version of the site (v1 for example, above). Users accessing the site would causes changes to the data in the DB (not the schema, of course). The second version of the DB (v2) would need to basically be a slave replication server, using DB v1 as the master. This will allow DB v2 to be up-to-date with all of the user updates that appear in DV v1. DB v2 is the development copy. As the design matures, schema changes will be made to DB v2. At some point, DB v2 will be made the "live" server, essentially taking the role of DB v1. As long as fields are only added to tables in DB v2 to modify the schema, the developer can easily just feed the updates from DB v1 to v2, to keep the user data current. The complicated part is when schema changes need to be made to v2 where fields are deleted, renamed, moved, etc. What is needed, basically, is a system that can track the ALTER TABLE statements, and appropriately translate the UPDATE statements from DB v1 to the new schema of DB v2. The developer could specify non-obvious and more complicated changes in some sort of syntax in order to clarify the changes to the underlying schema - thus allowing the generation of the proper relational algebraic (SQL) statements from the original UPDATE statements. Does anyone know of an existing system or set of scripts that accomplishes this, or can offer an alternative solution for DB versioning?

ODBC Connection To MySQL On Shared Hosted Website
I'm trying to connect to a mySQL database that exists in connection w/ my website. I created the database using c-panel. Everything that I use to access the website from my site uses "localhost" as the host name. I installed the ODBC drivers for Windows on my XP machine and am trying to connect from my local machine. I am not sure what I should use for the hostname in that case -- I tried www.mysitename.com as the host but that didn't work. I also tried the IP address, but that didn't work either. I asked my host's support team, but haven't heard back from them yet. It's a shared hosting service. Any ideas on what the hostname should be?

Partial Database Backup
I am developing a hosting solution for a popular open source script: on the website users can sign up to get their own "virtual" copy of the script. There is a single database, but own tables for each user. Database tables engine is currently MyISAM, but I am going to change it to InnoDB. What I need is to let each user download a backup of own data, and restore it when s/he wants. The users shouldn't be able to change other users' tables structure/contents. Also, the backup should be encrypted, so they can't simply check out its contents. One of the possible solutions is to tar the tables files, encrypt the archive, and that would be the backup. But in case user decrypts the archive, s/he would be able to change table structure and other details, making the system function improperly. Of course, as encryption algorithm strength grows, it becomes harder to encrypt the archive and make the system work incorrectly and/or change other users' info. Should I just use some strong encryption algorithm and tar the table files? Does InnoDB allow to work with table files of an open database? Or should I lock the required tables for that?

How Do I Set Up A Regular Backup Of My Database?
I know I can do it manually in phpMyAdmin, but is there a way to set up a scheduled back-up say once a day? It would be even better if I could set up some sort of cycle where at any one time I'd have 7 versions backed up (Monday-Sunday) and each day that backup would overwrite its old version (that is, on Monday the db backup would be saved over the old Monday backup, and on Tuesday it would be saved over the Tuesday backup). Just in case something goes unnoticed for a couple days I would have the ability to jump back to a given day within a week.
