Entering data into a mySQL database for use with my JDBC program

does any know what i type on telnet to get mySQL to work on windows 2000?
i read check your isp for what to type in for this line, but i use IIS
www24:mywww/devshed# mysql -u devshed -p
and what do i put for
login: devshed
Password: ********
it says check with isp on that one too
i am trying to insert records, and make columns, is there an easier way to do this?
thanks,
Pearl
Beginning MySQL Tutorial
By W.J. Gilmore
April 03, 1999
Part 1: At First Glance
MySQL is most commonly entered through telnet. (A nice Telnet program, Easyterm, can be found at http://www.arachnoid.com) Once the telnet connection to the web server has been accomplished, a second command provides access to the MySQL server. The procedure to make these connection is as follows:
1. Connect to telnet. This involves the insertion of the given ISP username and password.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------login: devshed
Password: ********

You have new mail.
www24:mywww/devshed#
2. Connect to MySQL. This involves the insertion of the username and password given specifically for MySQL use. This information has probably been provided to you at your request to the ISP provider.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------www24:mywww/devshed# mysql -u devshed -p--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax: mysql -h hostname -u username -p[password]
Or
mysql -h hostname -u username --password=password
The user will then be prompted for a password, as prompted by -p.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Enter password: *******--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assuming MySQL has been correctly installed and configured, the user will see output similiar to the following:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 49 to server version: 3.21.23-beta-log
Type 'help' for help.
mysql>
(Note: If an error message pertaining to "Access denied" is the result of connection attempts, you should consult the MySQL documentation included with the software, the MySQL mailing list found at http://www.mysql.com, as well as your ISP provider. These resources will aid greatly in resolving these problems.)
Once connected to the database, we are free to execute the various commands of the MySQL language. However before we are able to modify the database, we must first connect to it, via the command:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------mysql> use devshed;
Result:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Database changed
Mysql>
You now are connected to the database. Note that the command was followed by a semi-colon (;). Almost all commands in MySQL are followed by a semi-colon.
At the disposition are a number of administrative commands. These commands can be viewed simply by typing help, \h or ? at the command line:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------mysql> help
help (\h) Display this text
? (\h) Synonym for `help'
clear (\c) Clear command
connect (\r) Reconnect to the server. Optional arguments are db and host
edit (\e) Edit command with $EDITOR
exit (\) Exit mysql. Same as quit
go (\g) Send command to mysql server
print (\p) print current command
quit (\q) Quit mysql
rehash (\#) Rebuild completion hash
status (\s) Get status information from the server
use (\u) Use another database. Takes database name as argument
Connection id: 49 (Can be used with mysqladmin kill)
mysql>

Let's make this simple:
a) Your book seems to assume you're doing development remotely.
b) You are not doing development remotely.
c) Therefore, you shouldn't follow every step listed in your book (i.e. ignore the stuff about Telnet).
Assuming you installed mySQL in the standard location, you can use this batch file to start mySQL on your machine:
@echo on
cd c:\mysql\bin
mysqld
@echo off
cls
Use this batch file to shut down mySQL:
@echo on
cd c:\mysql\bin
mysqladmin shutdown
@echo off
cls
You can play around without a login or password in development. For a production environment, you're going to need to set up users and grant permissions.
Spend some time reading the mySQL documentation.

Is it possible to insert data into a MySQL database with Java?

Hello everyone!
I would like to know, if it's possible to insert data into a MySQL database, with a JFrame inside a servlet?
When the JFrame is first created it calls this method:
     * Connects the servlet with the MySQL database.
    private void connect(){
        try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
                    "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/data", "root", "omfg123");
        }catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){
            cnfe.printStackTrace();
        }catch(SQLException sqle){
            sqle.printStackTrace();
    }Then, when you click the "Add" button, it executes this code:
            add.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
                    String employee = employeeName.getText();
                    String[] args = employee.split(" ");
                    firstName = args[0];
                    lastName = args[1];
                    execute();
            });And this is my "execute()" method:
     * Connects the servlet with the MySQL database.
     * - And executes the SQL queries.
    private void execute(){
        try{
            PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("insert" +
                    " into employees values(" + firstName + ", " + lastName
                    + ")");
            ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery();
            String fullName = firstName + " " + lastName;
            printer.write("Employee " + fullName + " added.</br>");
        }catch(SQLException sqle){
            sqle.printStackTrace();
    }But when I click the "Add" button, nothing happens.

This is what I use to insert into mysql. It works on windows.

            newsoft = jTextField2.getText();
            newdeb = jTextField3.getText();
            newcust = jTextField4.getText();
            if (newcust.equals("")) {
                errorsig12 = 1;

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
http://www.youtube.com/user/Whisperingonthewind
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.

Inserting data into a MySQL database

Hi. I am currently working on a group project and know very little about java to be honest
I'm trying to insert records into a local MySQL database, but I'm having trouble.
When the application is started, a connection is made to the database, which, as far as I can tell is successful. The user adds the data through a method in a console class which then passes the parameters to 'insertCustomer' method in class DatabaseIO.
Connection code from DatabaseIO class
public static void openDatabase(){
//          start by making the connection
          try{
               //System.out.println("setting up class");
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
          catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println("Driver set up error" + e);
          try{
               url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db0611426";
               con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"root","");
               System.out.println("setting up database");
               Opened = true;
          catch (Exception e){
               System.out.println("database connection error"+ e);
     }Add customer form
public void addCustomer() {
                    int customerID, depositPercentage;
                    String firstName, lastName, address, phoneNumber, add;
                    boolean purchaser;
                    double budget;
                    System.out.println("\n*** Enter Customer details: ***");
                    customerID = TextInputPrompt.getInteger("Customer ID Number: ");
                    firstName = TextInputPrompt.getString("First Name: ");
                    lastName = TextInputPrompt.getString("Last Name: ");
                    address = TextInputPrompt.getString("Address: ");
                    depositPercentage = TextInputPrompt.getInteger("Deposit Percentage");
                    budget = TextInputPrompt.getDouble("Budget");
                    purchaser = TextInputPrompt.getBoolean("Purchaser?");
                    phoneNumber = TextInputPrompt.getString("Phone Number: ");
                    add = TextInputPrompt.getString("Add Customer Y/N?: ");
                    if (!add.equalsIgnoreCase("y"))
                         return;
                    customers.addCustomers(new Customer(purchaser, customerID, firstName, lastName, address, phoneNumber, depositPercentage, budget));
                    DatabaseIO.insertCustomer(purchaser, customerID, firstName, lastName, address, phoneNumber, depositPercentage, budget);
          }Constructor in customer class
public Customer(boolean purchaser,int customerID,String firstName,String lastName,String address,String phoneNumber,int depositPercentage,double budget) {
          super();
          this.purchaser = purchaser;
          this.customerID = customerID;
          this.firstName = firstName;
          this.lastName = lastName;
          this.address = address;
          this.phoneNumber = phoneNumber;
          this.depositPercentage = depositPercentage;
          this.budget = budget;
     }Code to insert customer into table (DatabaseIO class)
//add a new customer to the customers table
     public static void insertCustomer(boolean purchaser,int customerID,String firstName,String lastName,String address,String phoneNumber,int depositPercentage,double budget){
         String query = "INSERT customer (purchaser,customerID,firstName,lastName,address,phoneNumber,depositPercentage,budget) VALUES ('"+purchaser+"','"+customerID+"','"+firstName+"','"+lastName+"','"+address+"','"+phoneNumber+"','"+depositPercentage+"','"+budget+"')";
         System.out.println("inserting "+ query);
         try{
              Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
              int rs = stmt.executeUpdate(query);
         catch (Exception e){
              System.out.println("insert failed");
    }After entering the data, the 'insert failed' is displayed in the console. Any suggestions on how to solve the problem or any ways of finding out more about the exception would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Here's how to find out more about the exception:
catch (Exception e){
System.out.println("insert failed");
e.printStackTrace();
}

Suggested in-process database for use with LabVIEW?

I've been researching databases for a few days looking for something lightweight that I can use when developing applications. I saw the post by Anthony Lukindo on Expressionflow (http://expressionflow.com/2007/07/05/labview-based-utility-to-package-deploy-ms-sql-server-2005-expr...), but I'm not really looking to use an enterprise level db and it sure seems complicated. I looked at both MS SQL Server Compact 3.5 and SQLite, and they both look to be about what I'm looking for, but I haven't found any LV interfaces to these things. There appeared to be an aborted effort to get a SQLite interface made as an OpenG toolkit (SQLite database toolkit (Windows)), but it seems to have inexplicably vanished. I like the idea of SQLite better than the MS product because it seems to only include the things I'm looking for, and it's cross platform (and public domain) and I am thinking about starting to write an interface myself. I'd appreciate any comments on the topic.
I do have the LV DB toolkit, but I would rather not have all the overhead associated with speaking to an out-of-process db through external components (plus the headeaches associated with deploying the thing). I am pretty much a nubie in this area though, so maybe I can be convinced otherwise.
Thanks,
Chris

SQLite is propably the best performing free open source disk based database for a "single-threaded" applications or for reasonably sized multi-threaded applications that do not require row-level or table-level locking. So do not consider SQLite only as a development time alternative... it is a good alternative for many purposes.
You can connect to SQLite with a ODBC driver, I think, and do not need a native LabVIEW support for SQLite. Just google SQLite ODBC.I have not tested this, but if so, you can use any of the ODBC database toolkits for LabVIEW, even the National Instruments one
A different thing is that if you need a database for development purposes, should you actually set up one? I'm a friend of a software-as-a-service and currently use hosted mysql databases at Mosso. I use them for web development project but I see no reason to use them with LabVIEW as well, as long as your development computer is online. The good thing about hosted services is that they really are zero-configuration and zero-maintenance. When ever I've a problem or don't know something, I simply chat with the support person online Another good thing is that my hosted databases come with online administrative interface, phpMyAdmin, which simplyfies the database management, especially during the development phase when everything is not working as expected. Furthermore I can use MySQ Workbench to visualize the structure of my database for documentation purposes.
p.s. Mosso pricing starts from $100/month which may be over your budget, but the support is simply superb. For the price you get practically unlimited number of databases of you choice such as MySQL and MS SQL 2005, and practically unlimited number of hosted web sites running in a load balanced cloud with either Linux or Windows or mixed. The downside is you cannot install new programs such as LabVIEW and you have to do with the services they provide. When your computational needs exceed certain limit of processor cycles a month, you need to pay more. This limit is something like a single processor server.If you decide to go for mosso, use the following referral code "REF-EXPRESSIONFLOW" to get the second month free. The promotion is valid until the end of September and after that you get $50 off from the first month price.

thanxAnd that SQL statement is another reason to use PreparedStatement. I assume bname and sname are input from some form? Well, if that's the case, simply inserting them into SQL by simple String concatenation is just begging for all sorts of problems. What if there is an apostrophe in the entry? Broken Statement. Worse, it's a wide open invitation to an SQL Injection attack.

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

I have manually inputted data into a blank spreadsheet and would like to use a form to enter data into that sheet !!! How do I do that please

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

I can insert data into an access database, but I need to querry the database for specific information. How do I do it?

I can insert data into an access database, now I need to do some simple querries such as selecting all records that are greater than a certain value or = a certain value. How can I return only the selected records?

If you don't want to spend any money, then instead of ActiveX, I would recomend LabSQL from Jeffrey Travis. I use it instead of the Connectivity toolkit and have had no problems. Besides being free, you have the advantage of being able to use it with any database. ActiveX ties you to Access and you upgrade your version of Access and find the properties and methods are different, you've got a lot of reprogramming to do.

Xml data into non-xml database.. solution anyone?

Hi,
My current project requires me to store the client's data on our servers. We're using Oracle9i. Daily, I will download the client's data for that day and load it into our database. My problem is that the data file is not a flat file so I can't use sql*loader to load the data. Instead, the data file is an xml file. What is the best way to load xml data into a non-xml database? Are there any tools similar to sql*Loader that will load xml data into non-xml database? Is it the best solution for the client to give me an XML dump of their data to load into our database, or should I request a flat file? My last resort would be to write some sort of a script to parse the xml data into a flat file, and then run it through sql*loader. Is this the best solution? One thing to note is that these files could be very large.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that just putting the XML file into an
extremely large VARCHAR field is not what you want.
Instead, you want to extract data elements from the
XML and write them to columns in a table in your
database. Right?Yes. Your assumption is correct.
It sounds like you already have a script that loads a
flat file into your database. In that case I would
write an XSL transformation that converts the client's
XML into a correctly-formatted flat file.Thank you. I'll look into that. Other suggestions are welcome.

Different ways to download data into a Oracle database

Apart from the below are there any other ways to download data into an Oracle database ?
1. Import data using import/export features.
2. Oracle external tables.
3. Data Pump
4. SQL Loader.
5. PL/SQL => utl_file package.
6. Oracle SQL developer tool - it was a nice surprise this morning to know that this tool can be used to import data into Oracle database.
Thanks
Gony

I will be able to do that once I complete my transition into an Oracle DBA
Next Great DBA
I downloaded oracle to my laptop today.
I will become the next great DBA.
No need for education or taking a course,
I'll use the forum and learn by brute force.
The guru's won't mind, they know it all
They are so profound, their ego's enthrall.
They have it written by steps 1 through 10.
If I don't get it once, I'll just ask it again.
I won't write it down, seems simple enough
After all, I've used Access with SQL and stuff.
Why you upset? Why you tell me to read?
I've no time for a manual, No Sir, Indeed!
Why waste my time with a book or a link,
I have this forum, no need to think.
I have no work history, just out of college,
But I'm smarter than those who are three times my age.
I'll become certified with an OCP,
Have you the answers, just give them to me.
Then we'll be equal just wait and see!
But, Why are you paid 100K more than me?Edited by: sb92075 on Jul 12, 2009 7:57 AM

Sending colour from a JSP page into a MySQL database field

Dear All,
I am working on trying to send different colours into a MySQL database field from a JSP page.
This is so that I can represent different pieces of data on my webpage tables in different colours providing status depending on the user request.
What is the best way to write JSP code for this?
thanks,
Alasdair

What is the best way to put LabVIEW DSC data into an Oracle database?

I have been collecting data using LabVIEW DSC 7.0 for several years and have always accessed the data from the Citadel database via the Historical Data Viewer. I would now like to begin putting this data into an Oracle database. My company stores all their data in Oracle and it would provide me all the benefits of their existing infrastructure such as automated backups, data mining tools, etc.
My initial thought is to use "Read Trace.vi" in LabVIEW to pull historical data from the citadel database at regular intervals (e.g. 1 minute) and insert this data into Oracle via ODBC. In this way, I do not need to track the value changes in order to know when to write to Oracle. I also considered replicating the citadel database using some other method, but I recall that the tables used by citadel are somewhat complicated. I only need a simple table with columns for channel, timestamp, and data. The "Read Trace.vi" will provide me data in this format.
I do not need to update the Oracle database in real time, a few minute delay is acceptable. If anyone has a better idea or additional insight please let me know. Thanks.

In terms of connectivity, you want to use ADO, not ODBC. Beyond that, it all depends on the structure of the data and what you are going to want to do with it. This is a very big question that you need to be getting some in-depth assistance.

Numeric Keypad does not enter data into Excel

Is there a way to turn on/off the numeric keypad for the imac intel based apple computer when using Microsoft Excel?
I want to enter numeric data into the cells of a spreadsheet in the Excel program, but I can not figure out how to get the numeric keypad to work to do this. It will only work as a directional keypad, moving the active cell left or right, or shoot to the end of the spreadsheet. Consequently I forced to use the use the row of numbers above the keyboard (which is also the row of numbers below the function keys) to enter data.
Strangely, the numeric keypad will enter data with other programs, such as Word or when entering data into an online page.
I have searched Apple help without success.

Make sure that NumLock has not been engaged. To toggle that on and off, press Shift-Clear ("Clear" is the key immediately above the 7 on the keypad).
