How To Delete MySQL Database.


I've got three hostings with the GoDaddy hosting service. The hostings are supposed to provide only one MySQL database each. I've just recently noticed in the phpMyAdmin program that separate databases, each with the name "test," has appeared in two of the three hostings.

I don't know how they got there. I didn't put them there. I contacted GoDaddy's technical support. They said that the "test" databases automatically comes with the phpMyAdmin program. Of course, that's not right. Anyway they said that I could delete the extra database without damaging anything.

Simple Login Page To Delete And Edit Things In Mysql Database
How do I build a simple login page on my site? I need a way to login to my admin area in my webshop, so I can add, delete and edit things in mysql database. I don't need help with add, delete and change things, only the login thing.

The users should not even know that there is a admin login page. The users don't login to shop, they just shop so I can't use the user login page because there is no such page. Can someone please give me some guidelines for this?

Delete From Database
I have code that does not delete from a database. The same code (cut an
paste in the same file, but different function and having a different query)
works. So, of course, I tested the query interactively. I echoed the query
and did a cut and paste when interactively connect to the database. That
one worked so it isn't the query since interactively it is seeing exactly
the same thing as the code produces.

Here is the code:

function deleteCatalog($catalog) {
$query = "DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='" . $catalog . "'";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $Login);
...
}

The $query echos:
DELETE FROM CatalogNames WHERE sCatalogID='CMP'

As an example of code that works (in the same file)
function addToCatalog($cat_id, $cat_name) {
$query = "INSERT INTO CatalogNames (sCatalogID, sCatalogName) " .
"VALUES ('" . $cat_id . "', '" . $cat_name . "')";
mssql_select_db($database_Login, $_SESSION['Login']);
$result = mssql_query($query, $_SESSION['Login']);
...
}

The second and third lines are identical (cut and pasted) as in other places
in the same code. In fact, it is only in this file that I do all the
database work. Every other function works. This is the only delete,
however.

the data base on Cid.

MySQL - Delete Across Two Tables. OT
i cant find the MySQL newsgroup, however i am
hoping to pick up on some expert advice from php/mysql gurus here. I'm
having some trouble performing a delete across two tables.

The tables i have are:

questionnaires (id, name);

questionnaire_questions (questionnaires_id, id, name, qf_type)

The questionnaire_questions table contains a list of questions for a
specific questionnaire (indicated by the questonnaires_id). I would
like to remove a questionnaire, and when doing so all corresponding
questionnaire_questions who have matching id's (questionnaires.id =
questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id).

I have this statement, however it only works if a questionnaire has
questions... however i would like it to delete even if no questions
exist for that specific questionnaire. The SQL i am using is:

delete questionnaires, questionnaire_questions FROM questionnaires,
questionnaire_questions WHERE questionnaires.id =
questionnaire_questions.questionnaires_id AND questionnaires.id =
THE_QUESTIONAIRE_TO_DELETE_ID

DELETE Problem With MySQL
I've been learning using PHP and MySQL from the tutorial at
freewebmasterhelp.com. Everything works fine, except deleting things.
The script is invoked with a URL like this:

http://www.example.org/test/delete_entry.php?id=35

And here's the script:

<?
include("dbinfo.inc.php");

$id = $_POST['id'];
mysql_connect($server, $user, $password);
$query = "DELETE FROM test1 WHERE id = '$id'";
@mysql_select_db($database) or die("Unable to select database.");
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();

header("Location: entries.php");
?>

The dbinfo.inc.php file defines the variables $server, $database, $user
and $password. The login part works.

How To Delete Only Certain Text In A Mysql Row?
I have a table setup that has a column setup as friends and users can add friends to this column no problem.

What I would like to know is how to delete only certain parts of the text of the row/cell where their friends are stored.

The friends text is seperated by the following :

" , "

That is a space on either side and comma in the middle of the space.

I know how to explode the results and put into an array to display the reuslts, but is there a way to delete only one of the friends if the text is as follows.

 , thomas , frank , irene ,

I think you can get the idea.

Is it possible to do this or should I just update the whole cell without the array[$i] result being the friend?

It does not matter if the corresponding primary key gets deleted as well because the primary key is not related to any other table or database. I prefer not to use temporary tables or create new tables because my webhost does not allocate much memory to me & my database is quite big.

Php/mysql Insert, Update, Delete All-in-one
I have a check box form in an admin area, that links various related tables into one.

These check box results are stored in an array, and then looped, there are in fact four groups of arrays, but the array length could become large (i.e. dozens - not hundreds)

The issue I have is that from the one form multiple things need to occur.

- If a box is checked and the record doesn't exist a new record needs to be inserted.
- If a box is checked and the record does exist, it should be ignored (as it already exists).
- If the box is unchecked and the record exists, it should be deleted.
- If the box is unchecked and the record doesn't exist it should be ignored (the record doesn't exists).

I'm looking for the logic and process (rather than being hand fed code ) Can this be done with 1 (or more likely 2) sql statements. Or do I have to loop thru the arrays, checking the existance and then applying a specific sql statement depending upon checked status and the records existance. Someone mentioned using IF() in the sql statement, but I am not familiar with that one.

MySQL Delete Only Deleting Content
I am working on a content editor for a client who wants tha ability to add new page. But he also has to be able to delete page. The pages are refered by their PID column which is set to auto increment.

However, when I delete a row, for some reason, it deletes the content in the row, but not the row itself. So, I have an empy row left which gets assigned a PID when I drop the PID column and reconstruct it with the new auto_increment numbers. What could be causing this? Or is there a way to renumber the auto_increments after a page has been deleted? My coding is a little rusty right now as I am out of practice. had to have a reference manual by my site at all times. PHP Code:

$sql     = "DELETE FROM $db_table WHERE PID = $id LIMIT 1";
$result = @mysql_query($sql, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error());

$drop     = "ALTER TABLE $db_table DROP COLUMN PID";
$result = @mysql_query($drop, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error());

$add    = "ALTER TABLE $db_table ADD PID INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY FIRST";
$result = @mysql_query($add, $db_connect) or die(mysql_error());
