Naming a MySQL table

Hello,
How do I name a MySQL table with a variable from an HTML
form?
I have attached the code I have so far to this message.
Thanks,
John

It's not a very good idea, because you have no idea whether
the value
entered in the form is a legal table name, or even if it
already exists.
However, the code you have won't work because of syntax
errors.
If you really want to go ahead, try this:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['name']) && !empty($_POST['name']))
mysql_connect("hostaddress", "username", "password") or
die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("sand2") or die(mysql_error());
$table = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$query = "CREATE TABLE `$table` (site VARCHAR(50))";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Display mysql table data in a jsf page? (10 duke dollars up for grabs)

hi,
im having some trouble on how to display data from a mysql table in a JSF page under the JSF architecture. i need some help on the best and correct way of doing this?
if you could provide code on how this is done, would be much appreciated.
many thanks.

I'm going to assume that you have had experience with doing this in jsp. Watch for my comments by the **** asterisks *****. My skill level is best described as intermediate, so you'll probably want to heed replies from the more accomplished members of the community to improve upon this advice.

How can i access a mysql table without putting the data in a datagrid

I developed my air app with a datagrid which uses a php service to display all data from a table of strings in MySql.
I now do not need the datagrid, how can i get the data from my database without putting it into a dataGrid? Do i need an array? how do i do this? anyone got any example code?

You can use the result array collection now inside your program for any further changes / manipulations.
Hope this helps; If you have further doubts, do ask...
Balakrishnan V
Hi, yeah this helps,
however, how would i generate a result handler for a service that has not been called yet? Sorry my knowledge of services is very limited.
This is a php service, get_all service that returns all the rows from a mysql table.
I can see the service box with the service i want to use:
but how do i pass that to a result handler?

Problem in inserting data into MySQL table

Hi All,
I have a table with just two fields FIRSTNAME and SECONDNAME in MySQL. I am accepting the First Name and Second Name in two text fields and then trying to insert them into the MySQL table. I have set the concurrency of the rowset to CONCUR_UPDATABLE and am using the code clip for Database row insert with the appropriate changes. When I run the application it doesnt give me any errors but the data is also not inserted in the table. Can someone pls help me out.
Loneliness wins the race :-)

This is my problem when inserting single row. What does it means ?
MusicInsert: com.mysql.jdbc.NotUpdatable: Result Set not updatable.This result set must come from a statement that was created with a result set type of ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE, the query must select only one table, and must select all primary keys from that table. See the JDBC 2.1 API Specification, section 5.6 for more details

Exporting a MySQL table to Excel

My users have asked for the ability to download a MySQL table to an Excel spreadsheet. Being an amateur at all this PHP stuff I googled around and found a script that is supposed to do this.

Fields missing from MYSQL table in Database Expert

I have just updgraded from Crystal XI to 2011 and I am still having issues with joining a mysql table to any other table.
Fields show up in field explorer but when I try to uise Database expert the only filed in the MYSQL table is the ID field.
Am I missing something here. Same problem with both versions. When I runa report using just the mysql table evrything works fine.

Typically if the field doesn't show up the CR can't figure out what type it is which means when we query the DB for the field type the client/server returns the wrong type or some type that CR doesn't support.
How is the field defined on the server?
Thank you

How to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file

Hi,
Any one know's how to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file as the input in JSP.Please respond ASAP.
Thanks:)

At least you can try StringTokenizer to parse your text files. Or download a text JDBC driver to parse your files, for instance, HXTT Text(www.hxtt.net) or StelsCSV(www.csv-jdbc.com).

Only first row of a mysql table is updated

Hi,
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 with Visual Web Pack and trying to update data, stored in a mysql table.
I use a dropdown list to select a row and show the data in various textfields. This works fine. The problem, that it's not possible to save changes, I enter in the textfields. Everytime only the first row of the table will be (over)written. This happens also with the derby database. I checked the tutorial about inserting, updatting and deleting, it works fine. But they use a table to make changes to the data, so the case is different from mine.
Can anybody give me a hint? I'm going crazy ...
Thanx in advance
Markus

yes this sounds crazy. i encountered similar problem with textfields. if they are numerous type, don't forget to add integerConverter to the textfield. it helped me out in my case. hope this helps

Inserting Into MYSQL Table Via Air/PHP = Not Allowed?

I'm having trouble inserting data into my mysql database tables through my air app. All the code is pretty much exactly the same as in some examples I've seen but it simply won't do it. Is this because of some sort of security restriction because the air app is on my machine and the server with my mysql database on is elsehwhere? Or is it possible to insert data via an air app?
Here is the example I've been following:-

Thanks for the answers boys. I've decided I'm going to change it into a flex app instead as then there won't be any problems. It simply means I'll have to add a logon system to it.
While were on the subject do you guys happen to know of any examples anywhere of how someone can REMOVE data from an sql table via flex/php?
What I'm looking for is basically when a user uses my app and enters info into some text inputs, if that specfic info exists within a table then that data will be removed from the table. The way this works is that they will choose an item within a tilelist which is populated by the data from this mysql table and this will insert the data of the selected item into the text inputs and then they click a remove button to remove that item. Can't find anything similar anywhere though.
You will have to use a common identifier, eg:
give each row in your database an ID.
then pass that ID value on the button press to a PHP script, which does something like:
$deleteID = $_POST["delID"];
mysql_query("DELETE FROM exampleTable WHERE ID='$deleteID
maybe check that a row with that ID exists first for verification, then pass back a value indicating if removal was a success or not.
You can delete on other values, but remember they have to be unique for the database, else you'll run the risk of deleting multiple values.
Or you could delete on a compound key, depends on the data you're storing in the grid.

InvalidFieldtype from mysql-tables: chars instead of decimals

Fieldtype form mysql-tables accessed via ODBC
are in Crystal Reports 2008
almost all chars instead of decimals
with Crystal Reports 8 it works, with 2008 german (even with SP1) all fieldtypes are false !
Mysql -> CrystalReports
Decimal(1,0) -> Char[2]   in german "Zeichenfolge[2]"
Decimal(6,0) -> Char[7]   in german "Zeichenfolge[7]"

Number of characters in a dynamic form/list/mysql table

Hi all,
I mentioned this in a previous post but wanted to give it a home of it's own. I have a dynamic list, updated and edited by a dynamic form. However, with one of the columns I can only fit about 50% / 4 lines of text in. I am unsure whether the problem lies in the Form, when ebtering the text - or the List when displaying it. (I presume it will not be connected to the Mysql table itself...?)
When I enter the info into the Update Form, the text area accepts all the characters. However, when I hit update and am returned to the list only about half show. Also, if I then return to the form to update again - only about half are shown in the Update Form - the sentence is simply cut off about half way. This leads me to believe that it is a problem with the Update Form rather than the List - but hey, if I had the answers I wouldn't be here.
Jpg attached to try an explain my rabid ramblings...

let´s make a bet, OK ? My bet is that the corressponding database column which stores the textarea value is "varchar" and has been set to accept a max. value of approx. 100 chars, correct ?

Failed to create MySQL tables. Installation aborted. BOE XI 3.1 Linux

Tried to do a full install of BOE XI 3.1 Linux on Redhat 5 with at least the mimimum requirements and it goes through fine but then in the end errors out with "Failed to create MySQL tables. Installation aborted." Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it?

Hello Fred,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.

Making a jtable auto updates itself from a mysql table

Pretty much what the title says. How can i auto update the jtable for every time my mysql table is updated in anyway? i am implementing this auto update function in my admin program which displays a list of users who are online etc. from the moment a user is offline/online or changes other details displayed in my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with new data...
I was thinking of re doing the whole jtable i made and create a thread for that table that has a infinite while loop that keeps repainting the jtable with the new updated data from a mysql table query eg select * from table and store the data into a resultset which then gets transferred into a vector. Load the vector into the jtbale and their ya go�.
what you think of this approach? Is their a better way to do this?
at the moment, as soon as my application opens, the jtable views all the data from my sql table, however if it doesnt auto updates itself, cheers

i am implementing this auto update
function in my admin program which displays a list of
users who are online etc. from the moment a user is
offline/online or changes other details displayed in
my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as
soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with
new data...Well you can make some changes to make implementation easy
Ex: Create a table to keep a log of the changes in the system the dmin program read the log and replicate the changes as specified in the log on the table model.
When reading the log the admin program keep track of the sequence no of the last read log entry and it reads ony the entries which has larger seq numbers than the last read seq no
I dont think that it is critical to make this to be cloase to real time. An Update once a 1 or 2 secs should be sufficient.

Insert date from YUI calendar into mysql table

Is there a way to insert the date selected from the YUI calendar into a mysql table?

I have been in trouble since last 2 days... I have tried all possible and explored any related topics.. Still I cannot address the problem.
Problem 1:
I have a simple jsp form which passed a bengali word.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<form action="Test2.jsp" method="post" >
<input type="text" value="কাকা" name="word">
<input type="submit" value="Next">
</form>
</body>
</html>
When this page is post, a java program( TestWord) is called by the Test2.jsp. TestWord insert the passed bengali word into a MySQL table. Then it retrieves again the inserted bengali word and display in Test2.jsp.
Test2.jsp:----
<%@page contentType="text/html"%>
<%@page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<jsp:useBean id="get2" class="dictionary.TestWord" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="get2" property="*"/>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="post">
<%
String s=get2.getWord();
out.write("Before converion onversion = "+s);
s = new String(s.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"UTF-8");
out.write(" After conversion = "+s);
%>
</form>
</body>
</html>
It gives the output something like:
Before conversion = �?া�?া After conversion = ??????
Problem 2:
The record in mysql table is inserted in bengali font (eg. কাকা). When I retrieve the record and display in a jsp page, I can see the bengali word (কাকা) properly. But if I insert the bengali word again in MySql table, then I see some string like "�?া�?া" storing in the table.
Please help me out..
Thanks in advance.

How to remove/delete from a mysql table

Hello!
Please can someone help me with this one; I need to remove/delete a a row in a mysql table. When I use the query below, it removes this line from other tables containing the same numbers too. I only want to remove it from this table alone
String update= ("DELETE FROM info WHERE Number = '" + Nr + "' AND week= " + week+ ");
THX

I don't understand this. You're saying that running this query removes values from other tables besides your info table? I don't believe it.
One thing I'd caution you on is using names like "info" and "number" for tables and columns. They sound suspiciously close to keywords for your database. You'd be better off using less generic, more application specific names.
But I don't think that explains the behavior you're describing. Either this is a very serious bug in MySQL or a very serious misunderstanding on your part.
