Mysql database question

Let's say that I am making a java program that connects to a Mysql database and uses the database "MyDatabase".
Forgive me, but I am relating this to a Microsoft Access database.
The database is not on a network, but is (or will be installed) on the user's machine. In otherwords, the database will be on the user's machine and the changes to the database will only affect that user.
If I am to let a user use this program, will they have to also have Mysql installed for the program to access the database and pull information from it?
--Thanks!

(if you are asking if the code could directly
access/manipulate MySQL datafiles without going
through the MySQL program, I suppose in theory you
could, but I seriously doubt you really want to)The reason being is that it would be a client database for their own use, as oppose to sharing the database with others.
In any case, Thanks!
Next question: is there any place where I could go to find code that would treat the Mysql database as a client database (so far, the code that I found requires Mysql to be installed and running in the background on the user's machine)?

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.

I finally managed to insert data to a MySql database using hibernate, with the help of google. but, i couldn't find any helpful article on google, on retrieving data, will some plzz help me, by directing me to a site that has sample codes ??
i am actually new to MYSql and Databases in java, so plzz do help me, i am lost here,,, :(

I can't get my website to connect to mysql database hosted on my yahoo site

I used David Powers tutorials to build a CMS website in Dreamweaver using a testing site set up on my computer. I installed XAMPP and got it working on my computer. (I have a Windows 7 PC with Dreamweaver CS6)
Now I have installed the mysql database on my remote site following the instructions in the help section of Yahoo Small Business, where my website is hosted. I recreated the same database on the myPHPAdmin on my remote site. (If I understood what I found out when searching for a solution, Yahoo doesn't allow me to see the database from Dreamweaver. It seems that I have to make sure the connections are correct and then upload my site to the remote server. Then it should work once up)
Following the instructions I could find on Yahoo it seems that all I needed to do was make sure that the user name and password were the same as on my local computer and change the my Sql Server in the Server Connection in Dreamweaver CS6 to mysql instead of localhost, upload my website and it should connect. When I go to my webpage online I get "No database selected".
I know html, css, some php, and mysql.
I have been using Dreamweaver for approximatley 2 years and have created 2 successful websites for my husband, who is a photographer. He now wants to have a blog type news website and since I couldn't get Wordpress to do what he wanted to do I decided to create a CMS website. It works great on my computer, but now I need it to work on my remote site.
I know it's probably something really stupid that I have overlooked and I would really appreciate any help I could get.
I'm more than happy to learn whatever I need to learn to get this done. I have been searching all kinds of forums and I can find a lot of posts about this or a similar problem, but no solutions.
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

I'm sorry, the way I wrote that was confusing. In mysql it suggested you create a new user that had limited access to access each database you created, rather than use the root user which had all permissions. So in both the mysql on my computer and the mysql on my website I created a user with the same username and password, so that when my website was on my remote server the username and password were the same as when I was testing it on my local computer.

Just looking at that part of your response, I don't get what they are asking you. Typically the remote host will require that you update the username/password and possibly SQL server. When you are in most shared environments, which is what I presume you are in, you typically have a username that is prefix_username. So you should be updating your script to match that information, not the other way around. Also with the "mysql instead of localhost" comment, you would only change the script from localhost to another server (ip address) if the mySQL server is not on your web server. If you host tells you this is true thent he value should be an IP address instead of localhost. Is that the case?
For the second part of your question in the "Why can't I access my database" help on Yahoo it says "If your PHP or Perl configuration files require a host name, you may have a problem with your host name. Make sure that you are using the host name mysql, not the default host name localhost." I assumed that meant that in the setup menu when establishing a server connection I needed to replace "localhost" as the mysql Server with "mysql" and then upload my website. This didn't work. Since the mysql server I am trying to access can be accessed using phpmyadmin at www.mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin this seemed to make sense to me. I think I might have managed to access the mysql server, but I'm not choosing the database I want correctly.

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.

What should i do with an Oracle 11g Database, MySQL database and a dump file.

I just joining to a new work field, almost about a database and i know "NOTHING" about this field.
My company has a system that running by Oracle Database, the problem is that Oracle Database will cost a lot of money when my company expands.
So the quest is converting Oracle Database to MySQL database.
Of course i cant try to convert it in the main Database, so i create one Oracle 11g Database on my LocalHost, and it already actived in " Localhost:1158 " etc.
I have another Sever test that already set up MySQL database, and a dump file from the system.
So I want to ask these 2 questions :
1. How to create an new Oracle Database from that dump file ?
2. Is it alright if i use tool to convert Oracle Database into MySql, or i should do it manually ?
Thanks alot.

I predict that converting to MySQL will cost your company more as it expands. As you expand managing contention becomes more important - Oracle does this for you. I do not think MySQL does, so you'll have to write more code to deal with this, costing the company money. A big part of making application scalable and reliable is to use stored procedures, how good are MySQL's compared to PL/SQL's. What other features are there that MySQL has that will benefit your company that Oracle doesn't. What do you need to think about as your company expands that need to be taken care of in the database. I would have thought a migration from MySQL to Oracle would be more common to deal with expansion.
As you know "NOTHING" you need to think about what each database can give you for the next 10 years to cope with you businesses potential requirements, and extimate how much it will cost to implement these requirements, then make the decision

BOE XI 3.1 Mysql database connection jar

Hi All,
I am new learner for BOE.I installed Business Object Enterpraise 12.0.
I have created the report WebI rich client and saved in local path, and also some value insert into mysql database table.
I need to know how its stored into mysql database.
which jar file is used for creating the connection with mysql database .
Thanks,

The connection objects are store in the CI_APPOBJECTS repository table with SI_KIND='Metadata.DataConnection' . The connection properties are stored as property bags along with your objects.
Unfortunately I have just found a reference that this kind of access in not fully supported though and you may have to use the Universe Designer SDK (COM based)
Change password of Universe connection using Java SDK?
Since you are working with the SDK it will make sense to post your questions here:

Strange problem with MySQL database

Hello,
I'm totally puzzled by a strange error occurring with PHP/MySQL on my website... I hope someone has got an idea of what's going on and can let me know.
In short, I have a MySQL database set up on the remote server where the website is hosted. Some pages of my website access this database with PHP.
If the website is viewed with a browser in Windows (Firefox), it works well, the database data appear on the pages.
If the website is viewed with a browser on Mac OS (Firefox, Safari), it doesn't work: the database isn't accessed, I get no error, just everything on the page below my PHP code is missing.
I've attached two screenshots to show this. The website URL is: http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/
The pages were this occurs are: the home page (index.php and alternative index2.php), the Abous us/News page and the About us/News/Archives page.
I really don't get where my mistake is. I would like to keep the remote server connexion details outside the root folder, but I guess that if there is no solution to this problem, then I'll have to move it back (I think it might have worked like that).
Thanks in advance for any comment,
Emilie
More details
I'm using DW CS4 on Windows XP emulated via VMware on Mac OS 10.5 (don't ask why, I wasn't given any choice). I've set up a localhost server on XP via XAMP and the news database is also there.
Because I'm currently flipping often between the testing server and the remote server, I quickly got fed up to change all the time the connexion mode to the database (localhost or remote server) and have to resynchronise the files each time. Hence I decided to automate a bit the way the database is connected to.
1. These 4 HTML pages with PHP code have got the below two lines when the PHP code starts:
$pathpfx = "../.."; // see mysqlconnexion.php
include('assets_design/php/mysqlconnexion.php');
2. mysqlconnexion.php (see code below) calls a "connexion" file (in PHP) depending on the value of one parameter ($conxchoice). If $conxchoice = 1, the "connexion" file on the localhost is called. If $conxchoice = 2, the "connexion" file on the remote server is called. I've stored the appropriate version of mysqlconnexion.php on the localhost and the remote server (and I have checked it a million of times, they're in the right place).
<?php
// This code is called by and therefore included in the code of some PHP pages,
// independently of where the pages are located within the website folder.
// - Connexion to local server: I couldn't get the function include_once to work
//   with a relative path, hence the use of an absolute path.
// - Connexion to host server: I couldn't get the function include_once to work
//   with an absolute path, hence the use of a relative path. This leads to the
//   following problem: the path of conxsrv.php needs to be adapted to the
//   position of the calling PHP page within the website, in order for
//   conxsrv.php to be found on the server (it is located outside the website
//   root folder). The variable $pathpfx is used for this purpose.
$conxchoice = 2; // connect to 1 = testing server, 2 = host server
// Connexion to database
if ( $conxchoice == 1 )
{ include_once('C:\xampp\htdocs\CERC\assets_testing_server_only\conxloc.php'); }
if ( $conxchoice == 2 )
{ include_once("$pathpfx/cgi-bin/sqlconx/conxsrv.php"); }
?>
I would guess that a first hint of solution lies in the comment block, but I've really tried everything I could think of to work with relative path/absolute path respectively, unsuccessfully.
3. The "connexion" file looks like:
<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_conx = "aaa";
$database_conx = "bbb";
$username_conx = "ccc";
$password_conx = "ddd";
$conx = mysql_pconnect($hostname_conx, $username_conx, $password_conx) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
With aaa, bbb, ccc and ddd the appropriate value depending on the file. The # lines were introduced by DW when these files were created (I've then changed the variable names and moved the files to another place).
Screenshots

Well, my question has actually not been answered yet but the problem, as strangely as it appeared, has now disappeared. Best but scariest of all, I didn't do anything. Weird.
Hope it never comes back,
Emilie

Unable to connect to MySQL database

Hello,
I have written a DatabaseManager class that controls access to a locally stored database, implemented in mysql. In theory, client request should be passed to the DatabaseManager through RMI, but I cannot even create a connection to the database yet!
Here's my connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");When this statement is executed, the following exception is produced:
java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission file.encoding read)Can somebody explain to me how I successfully create a connection to the database? I would be extremely grateful. Also, could somebody explain how I could connect to the database from a remote machine using the following connect statement:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://server:3306/media", "mysql", "mysql");I have a feeling I need to grant a certain PropertyPermission in my policy file, but I'm unsure of what values I should be using.
Thank you in advance.
Pete

Thank you for the prompt reply.
In answer to you question: No, it is not an applet. The DatabaseManager is a class that implements a Remote interface, I have it running on the same machine as the mysql database (the server). I then have a small GUI that runs on a client machine which is used to make RMI calls to the DatabaseManager across the network in order to query the database.
When the DatabaseManager object is spawned on the server, it tries to connect to the database to be ready for client queries. This is when it produces the exception mentioned in the original post.
What confuses me is that in my original implementation, the DatabaseManager object was run on the client and the mysql JDBC had no difficulty in connecting to the database across the network. Could the security manager have something to do with it? I am using the RMISecurityManager in conjunction with the java.policy file from the Java RMI tutorial on the Sun website.

Import / Export MySQL database in SQL Developer

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,
Please be aware that a separate forum for SQL Developer Data Modeler is available:

Php/MySQL database insert record issue...

I have a php page that adds an "order" to a mysql database table (orders). One text field in the form is for tires/wheels. The description of the wheels often includes the " symbol for inches after a number....Everything submits fine, however when I look at the page that displays the orders all the data after the " symbol including the " symbol is gone... DOes anyone have any idea why this may be happening? It is requiring us to return and edit that area repeatedly. Any help is appreciated greatly. Thanks for your time.

Ok, so just to summarize so I am understanding this correctly. You have an ordering page for tires/wheels. A customer places an order for tires/wheels and the data is submitted successfully and this includes a symbol for measurement (in.). But on another summary page the symbol is returning a blank value.
If this is correct we need to see:
- First, the code that is inserting the symbol to the database table in question
- Second, the query and code where you are printing the data to the screen.

Write to mySQL database easily?

Hi-
I am currently a student just having some fun with the Flex
beta but as a student I do not have access to powerful corporate
networks or data services, etc. I have a lot of great ideas for
flex applications for clubs I am in, etc. but they all require
reading and writing to mySQL databases. So far I have only been
able to find 2 tutorials online about mySQL and Flex and I haven't
even been able to get the write part of those to work for some
reason.
But my general question is: How easy is it for someone to use
Flex (the free versions) to read and write to a mysql database
pretty frequently with some things that are a little more than just
basics (updating two tables are once for instance)? Is flex better
for read only applications for someone in my situation?
I would really appreciate some advice / insight from you more
experienced users so I know where to focus my time and energies.
Thank you!
-Dan

Furthermore, Flex is completely independent or the server
tier, and you can use almost any server-side platform you are
comfortable with.
I personally use ASP.NET and communicate with Flex using
HTTPService. I have also used classic ASP and JSP to do this.
ColdFusion also works well I am told.
Unless you buy FDS(Flex Data Services), you must choose
between RemoteObject, HTTPService or WebService as your transport
protocols, but that is a very wide selection of mostly standard
options.
Joaquin, what do you use with PHP?
