Using mysql database on another machine without having mysql installed

Hi...
I was wondering whether its possible to copy a Mysql database that I have created on my machine, take it to another machine which does not have Mysql command line stuff installed and use my own JDBC connection to the copied mysql database and start manipulating my data. I don't know if this is possible or not ..
The main purpose of doing this is I am creating a Java program which uses a Mysql database and I want to know if I give it to someone else to use it do they have to install Mysql and all the package or can they simply start using it.
Thanks a lot

No MySQL binaries, no server, your client (jdbc) cannot connect.im just curious because im new to mysql myself, but what do you mean that its a violation of his license?
do you mean for the commercial version?If he licenses his application under GPL, okay, no problem. Otherwise I read this quote
Free use for those who never copy, modify or distribute. As long as you never distribute the MySQL Software in any way, you are free to use it for powering your application, irrespective of whether your application is under GPL license or not.
to mean that you are not allowed to distribute MySQL (or any part of it, unless your application is GPL licensed) with your application, and if he distributes even just the data directory, he is distributing at least a part of MySQL.
Other's may not see it that way, but do you want to take the chance?The critical element is the word distribute. If he tries to embed MySQL in the application he is giving to his users, he's distributing it. Hence a violation of the license. That does not in any way prevent him from including scripts that when the application is installed goes out and runs the script on the user's installation of MySQL and builds the databases and whatnot his application needs on their MySQL installation.
Now, for the OP. If all you're keeping up with is urls and such and you don't have hundreds of them. I wouldn't bother with a db at all. a properties file would actually serve your purposes, and xml would suit just fine. Of course you'd have to have access to the file system and such but no licensing issues at all.

Urgent: How to restore a database to another machine without backup files

I am a beginner with Oracle and need to solve a tough problem.
I have all the files of a database on a hard disk without previously backed up. I don't have the old machine right now, I only have the hard disk from the old machine, and the new machine. There is an Oracle 9i database on the harddisk, and we need make the database work.
I've already installed the Oracle 9i on the computer(Win XP), put the files to the right folder, modified the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, then I added the database from:
OEM -> Navigator -> Add database to tree -> Add selected databases from your local tnsnames.ora file ...
When I tried to connect to the database, I got the error:
ORA-12500: TNS: listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
The setting in my tnsnames.ora and listener.ora are all correct. tnsping <tnsname> is OK. Besides, the default database installed by the ORACLE software works fine.
Both the old machine and the new machine are Window XP. Both the old database and the new database are ORACLE 9i.
Any idea on how to mannually make it work? Thank you inadvance!
Lihua

Lihua,
Since you didn't create the DB with DBCA, you will need to manually create a SID.
From a command window type
ORADIM -NEW -SID mydb
Replace mydb with the DBNAME specified in your init.ora and listener.ora files.
This will create and start the service. The service should now be available as a windows service in the computer management area...
From a COMMAND window type
set oracle_sid=mydb
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup
If you have all the files in the correct location the DB should start. You should then be able to connect with the database manager. Good Luck.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Problem in recovering a database on another machine

Dear All,
I need your help in restoring and recovering a database on another machine. I don't have access to old machine to get logfile or archivelogs. I have taken full backup using RMAN. I have restored the database using rman sucessfully and trying to recover the database. RMAN have't restored the logfile. Database version is 8.1.7.4, OS is Solaris 8. In recovery, its showing the problem in rbs file. I'm showing all command and error. Just give me any idea that how to recover it sucessfully.

This RBS file size is 7GB. Is it the reason of problem. Even I tried until time, but its also has same error.

Why its asking for archive file which generated on 19th, when I'm trying to recover until 16th only.
Regards
Rakesh

Hi.
What is the size of the redo logs in the database. With a small amount of transactions, there might be redo in this particular archived file from two days back. The timestamp of the archivelogfiles does not indicate that all redo in the file is from this day. It might have changes several days back if no logswitch occured inbetween.
So, if I were you, I would provide all archivelogs required to get the datafiles consistent.
As a matter of fact, if archived redo is in the following folder :
/u07/oraexp/PROD/arch/
I would use recover database until time and press return for all archived logs svrmgrl comes up with.
I assume that the database was closed normally prior to taking the offline backup.
Good luck.

How do I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, i.e combine a number of bookmark files

I'm setting up a laptop and want to have all the bookmarks from my desk machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in end up in one file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

You need to combine all the links to one HTML file.
You only need a file with Anchor links like this:

If you export bookmarks to an HTML file then you create a copy of your bookmarks and you edit that copy and you do not affect the original bookmarks.

Why can you not " put in any cedit card id stuff"?
You have to have an itunes account to use itunes.
Perhaps if you explained the issue, someone could help.

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

How can I know about the latest updates / versions which when available for all the CC products, without having to install and check it with the Desktoip Creative Cloud Application ?

Thanks for looking into this Jeff!
I work with an Inventory module software and is responsible for software detection across several computers. Once an updated version comes up, I update our database with latest software details to get it detected if installed on any machines.
The problem tracking updates with Desktop Creative Cloud Software are;
1)We have to have it installed with the CC applications in-order to get the notification of the latest updates and have to check everyday.
2)Only relates to the latest updates, so in-between we may miss a prior update unknowingly.Hence, the remote machines having those updates may not get detected with the software version update which would create problem in reporting.
3)For all CC products, there is no base or previous updates available for installation if we miss one.
I went through the Adobe Products Update pages [Product updates] which holds good when it comes to Acrobat and Reader software which I follow to track down any newer updates but this is inconsistent when it comes to CC products like in After Effects CC, Dreamweaver CC etc...
So overall to be very specific, is there any one channel I can follow to get the notifications only for the updates on CC products and then may be I can rely on Desktop Creative Cloud for installation if not available anywhere like in product update pages of Adobe ?

Wrong pagesize during DWG conversion without having Autocad installed

Hi,
I'm trying to convert an DWG file into a PDF using Acrobat 9 or LiveCycle PDF Converter 8.2 without having Autocad installed.
Unfortunately in both cases the pagesize is ignored during the PDF creation. The output PDF is always of "Default size" and the content is down-scaled accordingly.
Inside the documentation I have read that the output pagesize is selected from the source document (if you use a single file only)
So what am I doing wrong :-(
Thanks
Timo

I too face the same issue. I am not able to customize page size in Adobe PDf Printer. Could some one provide me solution how to customize page size in Adobe PDf printer. I am Domain user. I dont have admin rights.

How to run java exe files without having to install jre

Hi all i want to run a java application. i already converted the jar file to exe using Launch4j but the problem is that i want to run the application on other computers without having to install jre. please, is this possible and if yes, how can i do that. Thanks alot in advance

The Launch4J website should explain how to bundle the JRE. I've not really used it myself though. If you can't get it to work you could try the launcher I use:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FYZAVM77
which comes with instructions. Or:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javaround
Both of which are really easy to use.

How to install and configure NI Visa Server without having to install MAX?

Hi,
I need to install NI Visa Server on a computer so that remote systems can connect to the devices connected to it. However, the flash-drive on the computer is marked as "removable media" by the operating system which is causing the MAX installer to error out (this is a known problem with standard windows installers and removable media).
Before pursuing a hardware change, I was wondering if there was a way to install and configure NI Visa Server on the embedded computer without having to install or configure through MAX?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello!
Your system should appear under remote systems and then you can right click on the software folder and install software. Our 8145s for instance have compact flash drives and this process works. Could you give me more details on your hardware? Are you getting an error message when you try to install the software?
