How to use MySQL to create a database

I downloaded MySQL and opened the folder and saw a plethora of files. I'm lost and don't know where to start. I want to create a database. Any suggestions? I have dreamweaver cs5. My computer is a mac book pro OS10.6.8.

To amplify osgood_'s excllent suggestions - MySQL is a database application that runs, typically, in a server environment. Full stop.
This is not a simple "install the app and everything's good" type of program. Please do more research before attempting to install it. Also understand the security implications of running a database on a server (or even locally) and learn how to lock it down. Finally, to install and run MySQL locally, you better get really good with Terminal.app and learn how to launch MySQL and configure it from the command line.
I personally use MAMP (Mac Apache MySQL and PHP - see http://www.mamp.info/) to do MySQL/PHP development and testing as it doesn't mess with the internals of my machine, keeps everything in a MAMP folder in my Applications folder, and it has a control panel for easy start/stop of Apache/MySQL services.
Not trying to squash your dreams of running MySQL locally but you do need more "domain" knowledge before doing so.
Hope this helps.

Kindly Check if you are using the following ones:
Driver Name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Url: jdbc:mysql://[hostname][,failoverhost...][:port]/[dbname][?param1=value1][&param2=value2].....

How to use SNRO to create daily number range?

Dear all,
I would like to know how to use SNRO to create a daily number range.
We would like to have the following sequence. The first 8 digits are date and the last 2 digits are number sequence. Each day, the last 2 digits will start from 01 again. i.e. <8-digits date><2-digit sequence>
For example, today is 22 May 2006,
2006052201
2006052202
2006052203
Tomorrow will have sequence like this:
2006052301
2006052302
2006052303
Thanks!

Thomas,
I don't there is a automated way of doing as the dates do NOT follow a numbering sequence. What you can do is to create a number range for getting the last two digits every day and manually concatenate the date with the serial number.
However, as you have to reset the counter every day that might be a issue.

Ravi

How to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around

how to use the dll created by c++ but not write a jni wrapper around through a java program. now I can't access that dll like this directly from java.

Your question is unclear. (You haven't said what dll you are talking about.)
But:
If you are talking about an existing dll, then the only alternative to writing a wrapper is to use one of the wrapper generators floating around. Do a search on JACE.
If you are talking about a dll you are writing, then run jah and get the interface to match java right away; then you won't have to write a wrapper.

Question:How to use MySQL database as a service in Oracle Cloud

Hello All,
I want to use MySQL as backend for my application.How can i select MySQL database.Its showing me only to choose Oracle database.
Thanks in advance.

The Oracle Database Cloud Service uses the Oracle Database. You do not have access to the underlying operating system to make the choice you are seeking.
When the Oracle Compute Service comes out later this year, you could use one of those "infrastructure only" environments and load MySQL into it. You would be responsible for all maintenance of MySQL and the environment.
Hope this helps.

How to use Native XA in XE database?

Hi,
I am having problem in using XA datasource in XE. I understand if we are using XE database, jvm is not available. Thus, we have to use Native XA which requires using JDBC Thin Driver.
My JBoss hit below error during initialization.....
=====================================

Can anyone help to enlighten?
Or maybe provides me with basic configuration of using XA datasource in XE database so I can check whether my config is correct or not?
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks before.
Joel

Hi,
Here's an update regarding my problem with XA transaction using XE.
I don't know exactly how, but it works now.
Here are the steps I did :
===================
1. I decided to try creating JAVA_XA package in XE database. I took the script
from oracle enterprise edition.
This package can't be compiled in XE Production version, but it can be compiled
in XE beta version.
2. After using compiling, the JBoss initialization was still failing.
3. Backup the database (with JAVA_XA) , and upgraded the beta-version to
Production version.
4. Restore the database (with JAVA_XA) into the Production version.
5. it works :))
Hopefully I can get some inputs/comments from the experts here in the forum.
Thanks for those who has responded to my previous posts.
Regards,
Yoel
Good job! A nice extra mile.

What is best method for learning how to use mySQL with Coldfusion?

I have been using access databases for years with Coldfusion. I have a client that wants me to build an online classroom. I figure it's time to finally start using mySQL, but there is so much info out there, I don't know which way to turn.
Where do you experts recommend I get started?
Also, I am using coldfusion entrprise on my system at home. My machine is a 64-bit, 3.30Ghz AMD FX - 6100 six-core processor with 8gig of ram. Can I install mySQL on the machine and run CF8 without any problems?

How much RAM left on your system? If the computer is strictly for development, then you have more than enough to run ColdFusion, MySQL, browsers, and other development tools.
For MySQL download the MySQL Community Server and MySQL Workbench. There is also all-in-one package for Windows, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/ that you don't need to download the server and workbench separately. The installation should be straight forward.
By the way, other CF users may suggest you to use MariaDB (https://mariadb.org/), which is a branch of MySQL.

How to use a session, created in a jsp page, in a php page

Hello, forgive me for the newbie question.
Here is my problem:
I want to have a jsp page create a session, set some session variables and then redirect to a php page which will access those same session variables.
I have the redirection worked out, but I can't seem to find out how to use the jsp session in my php script.
Is this possible at all, and if so, how does it work?

Note that javascript runs on the client side, and JSP runs on the server. JSP and the session objects are NOT available to javascript in reaction to the user.
If this function is called only when the page is first created, not when the user interacts with the page, or if you want that value to be constant with respect to the javascript, then you can do this:
<%
String someValue = (String)session.getAttribute("theAttributeName");
%>
<script type="text/javascript">
     Calendar.setup({inputField:"f_date_dfFirstPmtDate",
                                          button:"f_trigger_dfFirstPmtDate",
                                         singleClick:true,
                                          ifFormat:<%=someVale%>});
</script>

How to use BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN to create network activities under WBS elements ?

Use Apex to create 2nd database

I already have Oracle 10g and Apex working fine on my Windows XP box.
Now my user has altered their requirements causing me to need to create a 2nd "database" using same named tables as already exist in my 1st "database".
Can this be done? Am I using the correct terminology saying "database" rather than maybe "connection"?

I created a PHP system for them using their Oracle 6 database tables. They have now upgraded their environment to Oracle 7 with, I suspect, some alterations to their column names.
On my development machine I have a connection to s6s which is equavelent to their 1st version. I now want to create s7s containing the same tables as the s6s and carry on developing on that. I do not want to loose the s6s as the maintenance/support I have to do may well require this.
I hope that the above is a bit more clear.

How to use cdrw to create multi-session cd?

I use cdrw to create multi-session cd as this:
# cdrw -O -i /tmp/1.iso
contents in 1.iso can be read by both Solaris and Windows, then
# cdrw -O -i /tmp/2.iso
Solaris consider the cd is empty and Windows consider the cd is not existed.
My question is, how to handle multi-session cd in Solaris? From some cdrecord FAQ, the data was there but TOC was broken, so one tip is importing TOC of previous sessions before burn. But how?

Honestly I know this is sort of a weak point with Macs. Not really sure why. I guess with the price of HD storage getting cheaper as well as writable media it's just not something people are interested in enough. But that's too bad because it does seem to have interest.
