Database Design and Support :: mysql error 1104

This is an error we ran into at work today, with the solution that worked. We were using the MySQL Control Center 0.9.1b. Hope it helps.

Error:

Quote:
The SELECT would examine too many records and probably take a very long time. Check your WHERE and use SET OPTION SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 if the SELECT is ok

Solution:

Quote:
1. Launch MySQL Control Center 2. By default you should see the Console Manager (if not, select Window / Console Manager from the main menu) 3. In the MySQL Servers tree, right-click on your server (default would be root@localhost:3036) to bring up a context-menu. 4. Select "Edit" 5. Click on the MySQL Options tab. 6. Set "Automatically limit SELECT queries to" some ridiculously high amount. 7. Do the same for "Maximum Join Size"

It's not hard to learn, its not easy either! The best way is to just go through tutorials and try it out for yourself. Depending on what DBMS (database management system) you're using, the syntax and learning curve is different. If you're using mysql (which I recommend) then go over to www.mysql.com and go through some of their documentation. Simple google searches will also give you good tutorials.

Database Design and Support :: Copying data from a field into a new table

I came across an "issue" today where I needed to take existing data from a table and put it into its own table. At the risk of having to copy ALL of the data over again (over 500 records), I found this mysql statement to be quite handy.

Code:
INSERT IGNORE INTO <new_table> SELECT * FROM <original_table>;

That command takes all the data from the original table <original_table> and adds it to the new table <new_table>.

I put the IGNORE there because my table had duplicate keys, which I just wanted to ignore, obviously! Those records won't get replaced though. Check out the entire syntax at the mySql site -> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/insert-select.html

From the Ozzu forums:

Quote:
So i have a database that has been hammered by spammers in the past and the ID primary key field is auto_incrementing. Due to the spam the ID value has reached 2000 or something daft. The problem is that when users now enter legitamate info. to my database the auto increment continues from 2000 onwards, so the next value would be 2001 - but i want to it to continue from 24 onwards. Am i making sense?!? My question is how do i get the database to automatically increment the ID field from 24 automatically. I mean i can edit the ID key in the database manually everytime someone adds info to it , but i prefer it to be automatic.

If you're using webmin, you should have a panel similar to the one below:

(Click image to enlarge...)

So first give the cron job a name and set it to active. Add the command you want to execute in the Command tab. Leave the Input portion blank, unless your script requires you to input data for it to work. Then just click the date/time you want the script to run, refer to my link above to find out how the date/time works. How are you "testing" the cron job? "sorry but ***** canno't be do"; makes no sense. If you get the problem again, please copy/paste the actual error in english and not what it sounds like.

In CPanel, go to the cron job screen, then in an empty spot, to backup your database, add:

0 0 * * * mysqldump -u<username> -p<password> <database-name> > <backup-name>.sql

and commit changes. Replace the values with whatever you like. 0 0 * * * will run the script at midnight every day. To run a php script, same thing except your command will be "php -a path-to-script".
