Bridge (CS3) MySQL Database

Hi there,
I am new to this list, and fairly new to Adobe Bridge in general, so please forgive my ignorance. I am attempting to index an entire drive of files for the end result of getting metadata in a database of sorts that I can manipulate with a web application. I have heard that there is an embedded version of MySQL in the Bridge application itself, and I was wondering where that data was, and how I could access it. Is it stored in common MySQL format, or in some proprietary cache-file, or am I coming at this whole thing from a completely wrong angle? Any help and pointers are greatly appreciated.
In the future, I am hoping to integrate Bridge into the process so that when any of my users add a photo, there would be a common database that would get updated so that my web app could access the new data immediately.
If anyone could recommend a different approach or solution, that is fine too. I am not totally stuck on Bridge at this point.
Thanks!

Bob,
Am I missing something? I cannot seem to get any of your scripts to show up in the scripts menu. (I placed them all in: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS3/Adobe Bridge) I do have Bridge CS3 (this version came with Photoshop Elements, so could it be somewhat neutered?), and I get this following error message:

Thanks again for your help; it is much appreciated!

CS3 mysql database connection using php

Hi, this is my first time trying to connect to a database. I have created a mysql database with my hosting provider. I am also configured to use php. I have ready numerous threads on this topic, but am still confused.
I am getting the following error message:
When I enter the following information into the connection string, I get the following error Error http error code 404 file not found. The site does not map to ftp.readyhosting.com/_mmserverscripts/mmhttdb.php Is the location of mysql server correct? Connection name ? user defined ?aosprod?
Mysql server = aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com. Also, this is not the same location as the web server.
The hosting company provides the following php code to connect to the database.
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com', 'aosweb', '*password*');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_select_db(aos);
?>
Because of the connection dialog boxes in CS3, I have not used this php code but only used the mysql server aoswebeditor.readyhostingmysql.com.
My requirements are very simple, I want to use the same remote database for the dreamweaver connection for the remote and testing server.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks. George

First of all, you seem to be mixed up about terminology. ASP stands for Active Server Pages, and is a type of server technology similar to PHP. I think you mean ISP (Internet Service Provider). However, this is not correct, either. An ISP provides your connection to the internet. Although some ISPs also host websites for their customers, your website is normally located at a hosting company. You need to get that mixup out of the way. Otherwise, you might confuse people with future questions about ASP, when you actually mean something completely different.
OK, lecture over...
Your hosting company is following standard procedure by preventing remote access to MySQL databases. However, Dreamweaver does make it possible to use your remote database and website for testing purposes. It does so by uploading a hidden folder called _mmServerScripts to your remote server. This performs a local connection with your database, and then sends the results back to your local computer. When setting up your testing server definition in Dreamweaver, you need to provide the details as I indicated before. When creating a MySQL connection in Dreamweaver, fill in the server name and account details as given to you by your hosting company. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to use your remote server and database for testing.
Having said that, it is much better to install a local testing environment. You'll find it faster, and it also lets you make mistakes (an essential part of the learning process) in the security of a closed environment. For details of how to set up a local testing environment, see this article in the Adobe Developer Connection.

***No Table found, when creating a recordset to MySQL Database

I have made a successful connection to the MySQL database.
When attempting to create a record set (Query) under the Application/Bindings Tab, I select the connection, but then the Table field says *** No Table Found
Also under Application/Databases tab, the connections appear. When expanding the + for the Table it says "None"
I do have Tables in the MySQL database which Dreamweaver has a connection to, so that is not the problem.
I've searched multiple forums on the internet for this problem, and while I have found that others have had this problem, I have not seen any solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am a novice in this area, so if you need any additional information from me, please be as specific as possible as to where and how I can get it.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Now the problem has gone from bad to worse.
I previously had a connection to my database but just couldn't see the tables.
Now after I added another user I can't even make a connection. Instead I get an error message that says "An unidentified error has occured"
My server and database are actually running. I can loginto my database through the MySQL workbench. It says it's running. The apache server also says it's running and if I key in localhost in my internet explorer it says "It works!"
I have now deleted the new user in MySQL that I added and now I can't even connect to the database in Dreamweaver.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer Data Modeler

Hello,
I have version 3.1.2.704 of SQL Developer Data Modeler and version 3.2.09 of SQL Developer installed.
When I´m adding a new connection in SQL Developer, I can choose the MySQL tab an create a connection to a MySQL database.
The connection test was successful and I can see all tables.
I use the same JDBC driver for SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler (mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar).
But there are two problems.
1. First there is an problem when I want to import from a MySQL database (SQL Developer -> File -> DataModeler -> Import -> DataDictionary).
After choosing the MySQL connection and pressing the next button an error occurs: CONNECTION_TYPE
What is the reason?
2. In SQL Developer Data Modeler I have not the CONNECTION_TYPE problem. But when I want to export DDL, there is no MySQL type selectable, although there is working connection to the MySQL Database. It´s the same in SQL Developer.
What is the reason?

Hi,
Data Modeler does not explicitly support import from MySQL databases, although you can use a JDBC connection to do this.
Philip described how to set this up in forum message How to connect mySQL for reverve engineering
There is no MySQL tab in Data Modeler - you should use "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" - "other third party Driver".
Set URL like : jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name
driver Class: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverAlso Data Modeler does not support generation of DDL for MySQL.

PHP Connection to a MySQL database "An unidentified err has occurred"

This is driving me up the wall.... With my hosting provider
at work I cannot make a connection to a MySQL database with
dreamweaver using the new connection in the databases tab. "an
unidentified error has occurred"
I am certain that I am entering the info correctly and have
the correct permissions to access the database, I think it has to
do with the _mmServerScripts folder and the testing server.
With the hosting provider that I use for personal websites I
make connections all day long doing the exact same thing that I am
doing here at work and I'm stumped. I even read a lenghty article
on this forum with possible solutions... none of them worked.
Is there any way around the _mmServerScripts directory and
testing server to make a connection and then use the bindings and
server behaviors tabs to creat recordsets, etc??
Thanks in advance for any help!

Not if you want to use Dreamweaver server behaviors, no. The
usual
meaning of "an unidentified error has occurred" is failure to
connect
because communication is blocked by a firewall.

Sir,
The exception is probably in here.
for ( int i = 1; i <= numberOfColumns; i++ ){
results[i] = resultSet.getObject(i);
System.out.print(resultSet.getString(i) + " | " );
}ResultSet counting begins with 1 but array indexing begins with 0 your code should look more like.
for ( int i = 0; i <= numberOfColumns; i++ ){
results[i] = resultSet.getObject(i+1);
System.out.print(resultSet.getString(i+1) + " | " );
}Sincerely,
Slappy

Bridge cs3 preview and slideshow question

Hi
i have a question
does bridge cs3 need cache (drive space) to preview a photo or to see my photo with the slideshow feature ?
i mean does bridge need to render and store the photos in the database to let me see in the slideshow or browsing
i don't talk about thumbs
or does it on the fly?
thanks

If you don't need High Quality for thumbnails then select Quick Thumbnails in preferences.
I think as soon as you point Bridge to a folder of images it goes to work caching the thumbnails and previews. I'm using cs4, have forgotten how cs3 does it for quick thumbnails. You could point Bridge to a new folder of jpegs and watch the rotating indicator status display at the bottom; and you might get more information by posting in the Bridge forum.

Slow Bridge CS3

No matter what I do, Bridge CS3 runs slowly. Selecting multiple items take a almost 4 seconds each one I click on, with the usual result of them all opening in Camera RAW before I am ready.
I have made countless calls to customer support, reset preferences, clear edcaches, been told I shouldn't have so many images in a folder even though this is supposedly a professional application (I currently have 64 Nikon NEF files, about 10 MB each in a folder), been told to uninstall & reinstall Bridge & CS3 (which I just did), reinstall system (ditto), among others.
The only way to make it run a little faster is to create a new folder each time, drop the images into it, and work as quickly as I can before it slows to a crawl.
To add insult to injury, I am now trying to create a sub keyword (a keyword under a keyword) as I have done hundreds of times. I can create on called Connecticut, but if I try to create one called Westport, Connecticut, it fails to be created. Just plain Westport works, however.
And, if I open multiple images in the Camera Raw (4.4.1) window, make adjustment to them, then, with only one selected, click option and cancel (reset), I cannot just reset one images as I could do before. I now get a new window saying "Reset all changes, including changes to non-selected images" No/Yes. Where did this come from?
I am out of ideas.
I am using Bridge 2.1.1.9, on a G5 quad, running OS 10.4.11, 8.5 GB of RAM.
Thanks,
R

As stated before, delete the cache file and after restart you would have the same folder with Bridge Store (but it should contain 31 visible document files, the "FileSystem_Blobs.MYD" is the largest one and can grow up to 16 GB followed by "FileSystem_Nodes.MYD" with several MB's the rest of the folder is very small, 2 with several 100 KB and the rest with 28, 16, 12 4 and even zero KB in size)
The mysql folder should contain 45 document files each at a small size.
If you can't see the contents you should surely delete it to create a new one with a restart of Bridge.
I'm not sure where the distributed cache (which in my opinion is a preferred setting!) is written to besides in the xmp file (or with DNG in the file itself) but deleting the cache as described does keep all the metadata and ACR settings unchanged.
Also deleting of the ACR cache does not change the earlier changed settings.
It's just a good way to a fresh start :-)

MySQL database record hits counter?

Can I find out how many times a record from the MySQL databse was called and displayed on a web browser?Basically a MySQL database record hits counter. I’m using PHP/MySQL.

>to the two files that were created
>Two files?
Yes 2 files. In Dreamweaver CS3 & CS4 When using the "Insertà Data Objectsà Master Detail Page Set" function you must create two files:
1. results.php
2. detail.php
It appears that these two files work together hand in hand. You did not specify where nor how to include an update record set that gets executed every time another record set that I want to count fires. So I combined the two as one until it was clarified.

Keywords, iPhoto '08 and Bridge CS3

I've got a bunch of photos (10,000) with keywords added with Adobe Bridge CS3. When I import these into iPhoto (with "Copy items to the iPhoto library" checked/enabled), the keywords import.
But when I use iPhoto to add new keywords, these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database. And Spotlight keys off the actual file, so none of my newly added keywords are searchable in Spotlight, only the IPTC keywords on the file. Which is not what I want.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them. That *****. Big time.
Does this mean that if I want to use iPhoto exclusively (abandoning Bridge CS3) to manage my photos etc that I have to somehow strip off all IPTC keywords and then re-import to iPhoto, and then re-tag all my 10,000 files with keywords? Please tell me there is an easier way.

Harper The Explorer
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
these keywords do not get written to the file! They seem to exist only in the iPhoto database
This is correct. You can write them to the file on export (File -> Export).
iPhoto is your photo organiser, so the idea is that you don't search in Spotlight but in iPhoto or in a media browser that hooks into iPhoto. Remember, if you're using iPhoto you can't really access the files via the Finder anyway.(* See Below for more)
You do need to choose between Bridge and iPhoto. They do the same job but surfing the iPhoto library with Bridge is one of the more common ways of damaging it.
However, if I import a file to iPhoto that has no IPTC keywords on it, and then I add keywords with iPhoto, iPhoto will write these keywords to the file. So it appears that iPhoto won't write out IPTC keywords if the file already has them.
I'm afraid that I'm not sure the point you're making. iPhoto will read the IPTC tags and add to them on export.
*There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Has bridge cs4 a database?

Hi
has bridge cs4 a database?
i mean i can tag photos and rating, photos in different folders and different hard disk
well if i want to see all the photos rated 5 star , can i do it?
with bridge cs3(it has not a dabase) i had to use the search tool or set the filter and browse the folders
but this with cs3 overload the cpu because every time scan photos for the info
well with bridge cs4 can i do it , has a database , or also cs4 has to scan every time all the photos?
my last question is can i make a filter and save it , i mean use the same filter every time brigde cs4 start up
for example filter ->files jpg and raw files , save this filter (i tried to make a scipt ,but i was not able to do it)
and every time bridge cs4 start up ,works with this filter?
thanks to all
have a nice day

Bridge does have a database, but Bridge is designed to work as a browser. It doesn't catalog files.
You're better off asking these questions in the Bridge forums, as well.

Hi,
When I open Bridge cs3 on its own after a few seconds the window banner comes up. Adobe bridge has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for any inconvenience. The same happens if I try to open bridge from within Photoshop cs3
I can still work in the programme ok and move the windows error aside, I would like to fix the problem, Tried to debug but the programme just closes.
I use windows xp pro with all the latest updates that are available.
have any others experienced this problem and how to fix it.
Thanking you in advance.

No messageto see, but you can check your Startup Scripts in Bridge preferences. Mine are like this:

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.

Adobe Bridge CS3 crashes on load in my Windows 7 workstation.
I recently completely removed, deactivated and reinstalled all my Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Master Collection to solve some problems with other application from the suite and now I'm surprise Bridge continues to fail. In my portable workstation the same software (Bridge) uses to work.
I tried launching Bridge under several compatibility modes. All failed.
Is there any know bug I should be aware of? Any fix?
Is this a common problem?

Curt Y. Thank you for your answer.
It was only Bridge who was crashing. It failed to load and Windows was giving an error message.
I tried your suggestion, and resetting all options in the reset window it now loads. It was as simple as that.

Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.
