Title: Inserting Other Binary data into DB (NOT IMAGES) Good afternoon all,     I have a db (gasp!) that is holding images in a BLOB field already. I can upload and retrieve on the fly - no problems. Now I am looking at inserting binary data such as M$Word Documents (.doc and .rtf), XML

RE: adding a large file to a database....

I have found that MySQL really doesn't like the rs.Update and rs.AddNew features like SQL and Access do. You are better off with the INSERT INTO (`rs.Flds`) VALUES ('objitem') or the UPDATE SET statements with CONPUBS.EXECUTE. It's a pain to convert, but you will find that it writes faster t

RE: Does MySQL support server with 2 cpu??

2005-01-11 Thread J.R. Bullington
This is really based on your OS, not MySQL. If you install MySQL on Red Hat Linux Enterprise Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP), then MySQL will use both CPUs based on instruction sets in the OS. If you install it on WinXP or Win2k3 server, they both have SMP and can support it. So the question is

You need to set the OLD_PASSWORDS variable in the [MYSQLD] section of the my.ini file. Set-variable = old_passwords=1 It's not the ODBC, but your version of MySQL. 4.0.x uses 1 variant of password hashing, 4.1.x uses a more secure one that will be covered in MyODBC 3.53 (coming soon...). J.R.

This error is caused when the server isn't started. Make sure that you start the server first, then log in. When you skip the HOSTS.FRM tables (by doing mysqld --skip-grant-tables), you have to restart the server normally to effect your changes in the mysql root user. J.R. -Original Message

The reason that you cannot connect is that your MySQL server is not running. Make sure that you have run `#/usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld &` First and then try to run mysqladmin. The other option is to run `#/usr/local/bin/mysqladmin status` to check to see if the server is running. J.R. ---

Windows has always been more graphical. For Linux, depending on the version that you have downloaded (binary v. source) you have to do very little to configure it for a dedicated server. Check out the my.cnf files in the /support-files/ folder of your MySQL installation. Use these as a guideline

The next step is to shutdown mysqld, delete the mysql and temp tables from your /data/ folder, and then re-run the scripts/mysql_install_db. That will reinstall the mysql/hosts.frm, which will basically reset your root user and password. However, it will also kill any users you have created. To r
