BO Mysql Database login help

We have BOXI 3.0 (testing) installed in solaris sunOS 5.10, with the tomcat and mysql that comes with it. I am trying to login mysql but i am not being able. Is there any special trick to do that.
I am able to use the mysqlshutdown.sh and mysqlstartup.sh to start and stop mysql. when I do ./mysqlshutdown it asks for password and that works.
This is what I get:
busobj@business2$ mysql -h 10.10.2.105 -p 3308
Enter password:
ERROR 1045: Access denied for user 'busobj'@'business2' (using password: YES)

Typically this error message might happen if you are trying to connect to the MySQL server remotely, in which case you will have to grant your remote system connectivity rights to the mysql database.
Here is a post from the vendor on what might be causing your issue:

I cant read correct single quote from mySQL database...

I cant read correct single quote from mySQL database, pls help. What i'm talking about. I must import, "J'adore" for example in my DB and I'm doing this. Thats ok. But when I try to read this value from my DB through JDBC I'm receiving SQL exception (because JDBC thinks that i didn't close may quote). If somebody knows solution for this problem lets tell me.

I'm not sure I got your question correctly, but maybe
this solves your problem:
Connection conn = // Wherever you get it from
PreparedStatement query =
= conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table_A (field_A) VALUES (?)");
query.setString(1, "J'adore");
query.execute();
query.close()Regards, Eirikthe select variation which i think you mean the WHERE clause would be...
Connection conn = // Wherever you get it from
PreparedStatement query = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM table_A WHERE field_A = ?");
query.setString(1, "J'adore");
ResultSet rs = query.executeQuery();

Need help connecting a remote MySql database from Iphone

Hi, i need to connect to a remote MySql DataBase in windows from IPhone but..... i'm a noob with Xcode and Objective-C.

I do not think MCPKit will help you on the iPhone. It is just an Objective-C wrapper around the standard mysql libraries which are not available for the iPhone. Your best bet would be to post on the mysql forums and see if you can get any help.
You can try extracting the mysql client library source code into a separate static library project, and see if you can get it to build for the iPhone.

Help with connection to mysql database, Getting error : No suitable Driver

Below is my code :

And i see another thing that confuses me. Your URL connection string is
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:8080/own"); meaning that your database is in your machine and listens in port 8080 for incoming connections. But that is the default port that Tomcat listens! Maybe you should change this line to
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/own");where 3306 is MySQL's default port.
Hope these help.

MySQL database? Plz help.

Hi all
I am doing a project in p2p video conferencing.So to maintain all the user details can I use MySQL database. Is there any other appropriate databases?
Plz help me with any tutorials if any one knows.
Advance thanx

Yes,
You can use any database and backend. All you need for video chatting is to exchange identities using a webservice that spits out xml.
Download the sample application
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/stratus/samples/#resources
In it you will find a python cgi script. The script is self explanatory on how to configure a web service. It uses SQLite but you can use mysql or any other database.

Ok, I've tried a lot of stuff. I have modified my application to display error message instead of "Login Failed".
It says: "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" so like you said the mysql jar is missing.
I have copied the whole mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin directory into my application directory. My manifest.mf looks like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Class-Path: mysql-connector-java-5.0.4/mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.
jar
Sealed: true
Main-Class: GUI.LoginScreenI have also tried changing names to mysql/mysql.jar.
I have also tried coping just the jar file in the project folder
Class-Path: mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar
There is also some .classpath file in the jar and it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
     <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
     <classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
     <classpathentry exported="true" kind="lib" path="F:/CurrentDocuments/Fall2006/JavaProjectsTemp/RentItOut/mysql-connector-java-5.0.4/mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar"/>
     <classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>I don't know. According to the:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html
You specify classes to include in the Class-Path header field in the manifest file of an applet or application. The Class-Path header takes the following form:
Class-Path: jar1-name jar2-name directory-name/jar3-name
By using the Class-Path header in the manifest, you can avoid having to specify a long -classpath flag when invoking Java to run the your application.
END OF QUOTATION.
Tomorrow I'll try doing it manually under Linux. Maybe Eclipse is doing something. I don't know

Help Connecting A Stateless Session Bean To MySQL Database

Hi, I'm trying to connect a simple stateless session bean that has been
deployed using the admin console to a MySQL database that has been
set up and pinged using the JDBC Resources/Connection Pools part of the
admin console.
When I attempt to connect to the database using the session bean I get the

Obviously this means that the bean can't connect to the database but I am
unsure why this is. When I set up the database using the admin console
I set the the jndi name to jdbc/test and I've tried using the following look up
code to find the database that is referenced by the JNDI name:
Context context = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
          DataSource ds = (DataSource) context.lookup("jdbc/test");
and also
Context context = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource)context.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/test");
Neither of these methods work.
When I look at the JNDI Tree Browsing window which is available from the
admin console there is no mention of the database at all, there are four
items in the three, they are:
UserTransaction
->jdbc
->ejb
DBBean
Do I need to add a JNDI reference somewhere in order for the bean to locate
the database? I thought that when I created the database in the admin
console and specified a JNDI name this would be all that's required in order
for beans to locate the database, obviously not.
If anyone can offer any advice at all I would be very very grateful.
Ian

stmt.execute("use YOUR_DATABASE_NAME");
// then your db queries.This approach works for me.
It also works to specify the database in the query like this:
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/myDB");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
try {
       Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
       ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select * from myDB.news");
       ...As you can see I added myDB. to the query.
But why is this necessary?
If I use DriverManager instead, this is NOT necessary. Like this:
Connection connection = null;
try {
       Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
       connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDB", "username", "password");
       Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
       ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("select * from news");
       ...Why do I not have to run the query statement.execute("use YOUR_DATABASE_NAME"); or specify the database name in the query statement.executeQuery("select * from myDB.news"); when I use DriverManager to obtain a Connection when I have to do that when using a DataSource?
It don't seem very efficient to have to run the extra query ( use db-name ) before I run any other query in my application.

Mysql database to support multi-language. [help]

i am using mysql database, how can i set the datatype that support multi-language now i set the datafield to varchar(45), it can't display chinese character also in jsp file.

how to set the datatype?First step is to understand that display and data are not the same thing.
Second step is to determine where the problem is - right now you have not done that. Do NOT attempt this step until you UNDERSTAND the first step.

please... can anyone help me...
thank`s in advance

The wireless security setting that the Actiontec modem/router is using may be different...and not compatible....than the setting that the Comcast product was using.
If you think that might the case, and you have the time to troubleshoot......
Temporarily, turn off the wireless security on the Actiontec modem/router
Reset an AirPort Express back to default settings, then see if it will connect using no security and allow an Internet connection when you do the Ethernet port test in the post above again.
If the AirPort Express cannot connect correctly using no security on the wireless network.....then it is a no brainer to know that it will never connect when security is enabled. So, if the AirPort will not connect using no security, you may have an incompatibility issue between the Actiontec and Apple products.
However, if the AirPort Express connects OK with no security, then this tells you that you will need to use a different setting for security on the Actiontec...the same that the Comcast router was using before.....so the Express will have a better chance of connecting.
That setting would be something like WPA/WPA2 Personal, or the same setting stated another way would be WPA-PSK-TKIP.

MySQL Database Connection (two databases at the same time)

I have never had to open more than one MySQL database from within the same website before, but I do now. The website I have is designed where all the content comes from within the main database. I am building an Inventory system that I want within it's own database, in the event I would ever need to move the application to another server or something, I don't want this data residing in the main database.
Currently, I open the database connection from within a file called "common.php" that resides in a directory called "lib" that can be accessed from the root directory. Below is the proposed code that would be placed within the "common.php" file:
// Define Database Variables
$dbserver = "127.0.0.1";
$dbuser = array('clevelan_user1', 'clevelan_user2');
$dbpass = array('P@ssw0rd', 'P@ssw0rd2');
$dbname = array('clevelan_database1', 'clevelan_database2');
// Start Session
session_start();
// Connect to Databases
connectdb($dbserver, $dbuser[0], $dbpass[0], $dbname[0]);
connectdb2($dbserver, $dbuser[1], $dbpass[1], $dbname[1]);
// Database 1 Connection
function connectdb($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname) {
// connects to db
global $connection;
$connection = @mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("could not connect to server");
$db = @mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection) or die ("could not select databsase");
return $connection;
// Database 2 Connection
function connectdb2($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname) {
// connects to db
global $connection2;
$connection2 = @mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("could not connect to server");
$db2 = @mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection2) or die ("could not select databsase");
return $connection2;
//End of Code Within the "common.php"
From within any page of the website, I want to access both connections by placing an include at the top of each page:
include_once("lib/common.php");
Currently, when I run the code above, any page within the website (the home page) provides error messages with regards to database connectivity (the pages are looking for there content from within the second database. It's as if the second database is the only database seen by the website.
I need help figuring out how I can have two MySQL databases open at the same time (the second database will only be open for short periods of time and then closed). But the main database is always open.

Create one project using one copy of the exact tables.
create 2 different sessions.xml files each pointing to the same project. Set the login information in the sessions.xml files.

How to get data into the mySQL database?

First some background.
I have a website that has outgrown its designed dimensions and is a huge burden to maintain. See PPBM5 Benchmark
There is a lot of maintenance work involved, so I'm investigating a PHP/MySQL approach to easen the burden and to add functionality to the site. With the current Excel based structure and over 420 entries, it is cumbersome for me to maintain, but also for users to find what they need.
A MySQL based dynamic structure is a lot easier and offers vastly more selection capabilities, like selecting only records that meet specific criteria.
Data submission is done with a form, that contains most of the relevant data, but the drawack is that people submitting their data are often not technically inclined, give wrong answers due to a lack of understanding or making typo's. The test results are attached in one or two separate .txt files, but often they have not read the instructions correctly or did something wrong, so these attached .txt files can not be trusted automatically, they have to be checked before inclusion.
These were my initial thoughts:
1. Data collection:
To avoid spending all our energy and time on correcting typo's, getting missing data, correcting errors, I am investigating the use of CPU-Z in Ghost mode to create a .txt or .html file that contains all relevant hardware info we need and even more. It gives all the info we currently have, but adds data like number of memory sticks, DDR timings, stock clock speed and BCLK setting, video card info and VRAM size, etc.
To see what I mean, run CPU-Z, go to the About tab and press the Save Report button and look at the results.
This can all be done without user intervention in an automatic way, but maybe I need to add an Auto-It file to the test to make it all run as desired.
If this works and I'm able to extract the relevant data from the created file and can insert it into the database, we may be in business for the next version of PPBM5.5 or PPBM6. It does require a modification to the instructions, making them a lot easier, because there is less data to fill out.
2. Data submission:
The submission form can be simplified if the CPU-Z data can be used. We have to create an automatic way to attach the created .html file from CPU-Z to the submission form and we have to streamline the Output.txt and Output-MPE.txt files to be more easily included in the 'form.lib.php' file. It currently is manual labor and very time consuming.
3. Adding to Database:
I have to find a way to create database records from the Gmail forms I receive. All incoming mail messages need to be checked on relevancy and if relevant, need to be added automatically to the database and then offered for approval before final inclusion in the database. Data included in the database will then include submission date and time, Email address, IP address used, plus links to the files submitted and available on the website.
4. Publication of the database:
After approval of new records from step 3, all updates will be automatically applied to the database and accessible for users. I do not yet intend to introduce a user account , requesting login before all functionality is accessible. Too much trouble and administration.
Queries should be possible on things like CPU (check box), so include 17-920, i7-930, i7-950 but exclude i7-980X and i7-990X, Size of memory (check box), Overclocked (boolean, yes, no), SSD as OS disk, and similar options.
The biggest problem is to keep the color grading and statistical indicators (Top, D9, Q3, Med, Q1 and D1) intact on dynamically generated queries. Say you make a query which results in 20 observations, this should show the related colors and legends. Next query results in 48 observations and of course the color grading and legends do need to reflect that. Question in my mind, does the RPI remain constant, independent of the query or does that need to be recalculated on the basis of the query?
Next thing is to allow a user to select a specific observation and by simply clicking on it be shown, in a separate window (detail page) or accordion, all the CPU-Z related information about the hardware.
The graphs, Top-20 and MPE Gains, need to be dynamically adjusted, based on the query used.
5. Ideally, external links:
In an ideal situation, one could link the CPU-Z data to external price databases, looking up current prices for CPU, memory, video card, disks, raid controller, etc. to get instant BFTB charts, based on the query made. But that is the next step.
Situation now:
I have a MySQL database that is easily updated with the new submissions. Simply create a .CSV flie from the submitted forms and import that into the database. The bulk of the initial work is done.Lots remain to be done as you can see above, but that is for a later time.
Question:
I have this table, that needs to be filled with data in the submitted and attached files. Mr. X submitted his data and can be uniquely identified by his "Ref_ID". He attached one or two files in .TXT format with the relevant test data. These files are stored on the server with a concatenated name:
"Ref_ID","-","filename"
Say his Ref-ID is: 20110204-6cf5 and his submitted file is called: Output(99).txt then the file can be found on the server as
20110204-6cf5-Output(99).txt
I need to be able to open that comma delimited file, the contents may look like this: "439","1036","819","531" and insert these contents into the relevant record and fields.
Graphically,
is what I want to achieve.
This being my first exposure to PHP/MySQL, you can imagine I'm not clear on how to go from here.
Added complication is that I actually have 5 numbers to insert per record and two calculated fields, Total Score and RPI should be calculated fields. Haven't yet figured out how to handle calculated fields, maybe only in the PHP/HTML code and not in the database.
I hope someone can help me.

You do have a very complex looking site and may need several tables in mysql to handle all that data. If you knew to phpmysql I would suggest taking a look at this tutorial it will help get you started in understanding how to $_GET info from a database and also how to $_POST data to a database. I am no expert just learning myself and I found this very helpful. This is the link http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_dynamic_site_pt1.html
There are also many tutorials on Youtube to help build a CMS Content Management Site I would suggest the following: -
http://www.youtube.com/user/phpacademy
http://www.youtube.com/user/betterphp
http://www.youtube.com/user/flashbuilding
And many more on my channel here

CMS's are easier to maintain, add edit and delete content.
I have also recently bought a Book by David Powers Training from the Source very helpful.
Anyway hope you get it sorted.

Mysql database issue

Hi all,
Please am a newbie when it comes to php and forms, I have created a site with a registration and login forms and I have equally created mysql database and table for the form inside mysql server but I need the database to take the data from the registration form and store it, and at the same time when the user login it will bring the their data to them. But I don't know how to connect it with form on my site and have it on my rootfolder/local server. I will really appreciate if anyone can help out.

I guess you should install Apache server. Then you configure your server with php and mysql with php.
After that you can access your form from localhost url which will make a call to ur db and return you output. Hope it helps..
Thanks,
Ashish

Php/mysql: can't write to mysql database [SOLVED]

I'm writing a login script using php and mysql. I got it to work on my server about a week ago, and then I set up apache, php and mysql on my netbook so that I could take my code with me and test it. Now it doesn't work. My registration script doesn't write to the mysql database but has no errors. Here is register.php:
<?php
define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "swordfish");
define("DB_NAME", "users");
define("TBL_USERS", "users");
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
function addUser($username, $password)
global $connection;
$password = md5($password);
echo("adding $username,$password<br />");
$q = "INSERT INTO " . TBL_USERS . " VALUES ('$username', '$password')";
echo("query: $q<br />");
$result = mysql_query($q, $connection);
echo("$result<br />");
if (isset($_POST["reg"]))
addUser($_POST["username"], $_POST["password"]);
echo("<a href='index.php'>click here to login</a>");
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="Post" name="login">
<input type="text", name="username" /> Username<br />
<input type="text", name="password" /> Password<br />
<input type="submit" name="reg", value="Register" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
and here is the output (without the form):
adding lexion,6f1ed002ab5595859014ebf0951522d9
query: INSERT INTO users VALUES ('lexion', '6f1ed002ab5595859014ebf0951522d9')
Also, I tried manually adding the content to the database:
$ mysql -p -u root
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 9
Server version 5.1.42 Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the current input statement.
mysql> users
-> INSERT INTO users VALUES('lexion', 'foo')
-> ^D
-> Bye
I would assume that I got something wrong with the last bit, but the php script seems like it should work. Does anybody know why it doesn't?

What is wrong with your PHP? Why do you think it is failing? An INSERT query doesn't return anything. Also, it's a good idea to specify which fields you are inserting into, unless you want to have to provide something for every field (tedious for tables with many fields with default values). eg:
$q = "INSERT INTO `" . TBL_USERS . "`(`username`, `password`) VALUES ('$username', '$password')";
As for your experiment with the mysql prompt; queries have to end with a semicolon. PHP is nice and hides that little detail from you.
edit: Also, you're echoing text out before the HTML starts. That won't produce valid HTML. I also noticed a few other things which I corrected; look at my comments:
<?php
define("DB_SERVER", "localhost");
define("DB_USER", "root");
define("DB_PASS", "swordfish");
define("DB_NAME", "users");
define("TBL_USERS", "users");
$connection = mysql_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $connection) or die(mysql_error());
function addUser($username, $password)
global $connection;
$password = md5($password);
// echo("adding $username,$password<br />"); - Don't echo stuff before HTML starts.
// Also, clean up user-supplied data before plugging it into a query unless you want to be vulnerable to SQL injection.
$cleanusername = mysql_real_escape_string($username, $connection);
$cleanpassword = mysql_real_escape_string($password, $connection); // Obviously you'd generally use some hashing algorithm like md5 or sha1 for passwords
$q = "INSERT INTO `" . TBL_USERS . "`(`username`, `password`) VALUES ('{$cleanusername}', '{$cleanpassword}')"; // The backticks tell MySQL not to interpret any text within as a keyword (good for field names, eg a field called `date`. The curly brackets tell PHP that the stuff within refers to a variable; it's nice as PHP knows exactly what the variable name is with no possible ambiguity.
// echo("query: $q<br />");
$result = mysql_query($q, $connection);
// echo("$result<br />"); - This won't do anything; in addition to INSERT queries not returning anything, the $result variable doesn't contain the results of the query, it's a pointer to them for use with mysql_result().
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Register</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["reg"]))
addUser($_POST["username"], $_POST["password"]);
echo("<a href='index.php'>click here to login</a>");
?>
<form method="Post" name="login">
<input type="text" name="username" /> Username<br />
<input type="text" name="password" /> Password<br />
<input type="submit" name="reg" value="Register" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
mysql_close($connection); // Not strictly needed, as PHP will tidy up for you if you forget.
?>
