Hosting A Server On Database - I'm a total noob at databases

I try to upgrade my MySQL server from 4.018 to 4.1.10a. Firstly, I downloaded mysql-4.1.10a (not the
essential one) for win XP Then I install the new version after the old version was uninstalled.
After the installation process, Instance Configurator comes up to help for the configuration. But an
error occured when it try to start the MySQL service. Error messageis "cannot create windows
service for MySQL. Error:0" So my MySQL server cannot be started. It is running win XP on my
computer. Does anybody can tell me what is wrong?. Thanks (sorry for my bad english)...

Yesterday while i'm seaching for a data model and database schema at the Library of Free Data
Models for a new project of a friend of mine i found there this nice and simple tutorial on How to
Understand a Database Schema . As its name says, this tutorial will help you to better understand a
Database Schema and covers the following basics topics that every Database Schema must define:
QUOTE Primary and Foreign Keys. One-to-Many and Many-to-Many Relationships. Inheritance.
"Rabbit's Ears", (Recursive relationships). The Scope of this tutorial is ...

Is there an "easy" way to update a database's tables? Like for instance, I have my own

have to download, update and upload the database. Is there an easy way I can do this? THANKS!!! F...

Hi I am a manager at a trading/wholesaling company (and have no programming background). I
customized the Northwind sample access database to make invoices and keep accounts for my company.
We now opening another office at a distant location. So, the order entry will be done at two
points(we plan to use the same Access database). I am not able to figure out how to access the same
MS Access database from two different location(as LAN can't be used). Moreover, we can't
afford to pay huge sums to the software developers. Can intranet or uploading the database t...

Hi, maybe one of you already came across this, so I ask. I'll continue searching on. I've
got two vocable trainers, one is Windows-native, the other one is on the web. While I can't
control the output of the Windows-thing (so I can't export them to a *csv or something), I can
write an import script. But since I'm not that great with Regular Expressions and don't know
anything about *.mdb (that is MS SQL, isn't it?) files, I would need some finished thing to make
out the field information and put it in arrays or something more readable. It wou...

Hello: I am new to JAVA and server-side applications and have a dumb question. I have set up
Tomcat on my machine and created a JSP program to query an Access database using a DSN-Less
connection. If I publish the page to a webserver and include the .MDB file will it work? I'm
not sure exactly what needs to be packaged with my Java application to make it work. Since I
don't have a remote server that supports .jsp I cannot really test it. I'm assuming that
JDBC driver would be bundled with my site but not sure. Thanks!...

I thought I would take a moment to point the users here to some of the database resources available
for reference and learning. First I will start with actually designing the database. This site by
R937 covers the basics of database design. The author is professional database guru and a frequent
helper at the at DB forums listed below. The Library of Free Data Models is an excellent
resource for finding data models for projects you may have or as examples of well put together data
models. With around 500 data models the chances are you find something at least cl...

There are a lot of different free software in Internet, but I have found only couple of free
graphical tools for database adminiatration. On another hand, MySQL is free for non commercial
usage. That's way it will be nice to have any good free GUI for this database. I remember the
time, when one of MySQL-Front versions was for free, but now it is opened only for testing period.
There is also free version of Toad, which is not full Toad, but it looks also very well - However, I
am not going to use Oracle (wchich is quite expensive commercial tool) on my desktop. The...

I need to create a database of around 1000 music albums that I can put on my site, with the ability
to search the database according to several different criteria. Being a complete and total NOOB to
the world of databases, can anyone point me in the direction of some software that will let me
create a good-looking and functional database, but that isn't too complicated for me to use?!
Sounds like a tall order I know, be grateful if anyone can help though. Thanks!
