| I have just set up mysql and phpMyAdmin. I tried to log in to phpMyAdmin with the correct login of root with no password. PhpMyAdmin didn't care, it just said "Please fill in the password field". Then I tried a couple of sql commands with PHP to change the root password, but none of them worked. Can someone please give me a PHP script to query the database to change the root password? |
Where do you have this problem? is it on your own PC ? Or on astahost account?
Do you already have data inside your database? Or can you drop the database and restart the install?
I guess that the root user does not exist inside the mysql database, or it has a password.

It it on my own mac. I was reading the readme file and it said that the default root password is left blank.
The sql query to change your password is "SET PASSWORD FOR root@localhost=PASSWORD('newpasshere');" but you will need to be able to connect PHP to mysql in order to run the query.
Most version of mysql should includes a console client called mysql ( on windows called mysql.exe ) that is inside the bin folder of the mysql installation folder.
Just lanuch it with your root account and host name that you will be connect to, e.g.
mysql -h [hostname] -u root
because it is on your own mac. So this command will be,
mysql -h localhost -u root
if laster you need to specific password directly. Just add the -p at end of the command line,
mysql -h localhost -u root -p[your-password-for-user]
Note that there is no space between the -p and the password.

Sometimes in a table especially if i do alot of things in it i start seeing overhead then a size
near it? what is overhead? and is it essential to optimize the table to fix it? I know its just a
press of a button but i'd like to know what happens when i optimize a table. Also when you make
a new table you can limit the size of VARCHAR to a number, that number would be the number
characters allowed in that column per entry. I'd like to know how the limit works for texts, is
it in KB? or number of characters? Cuz i made a messaging system. And i remember reading s....

It is good practice to use multiple tables to sort out big amounts of data. But once you do that it
becomes increasingly hard to cross reference the tables. Mysql has a little beautiful command
structure that they have added. You can select multiple tables within one sql query. Example of a
basic sql query CODE $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row=1"; If you noticed that I selected
all of the rows in the table. Normally you will try to not select the entire table from the database
unless you absolutely want all of the table. I would recommend against it; just gra....

HI, I've hit the grain while trying to import file to mysql database - I need to enable file
permissions of the database user but this seems not possible with most of the hosting providers.
The problem is to set file_priv of the database user to "Y" . This is done in the "user" table of
the maintanance database named "mysql". cPanel doesn't allow this. Via the cPanel you can only
allow privileges on table querries but you cannot grant host file privileges to the database user -
which makes querries like: "LOAD DATA INFILE 'filename' INTO TABLE tablen....

Using subqueries in MySQL. Very helpful. (8)
This method is very useful. I always use this when simple queries of linking two tables is not
enough. This method is putting a query inside a query. Example: SELECT * FROM table1 LEFT JOIN
(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE field1='id') AS subtable or joining multiple queries SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE userid='001') AS subtable1 LEFT JOIN (SELECT * FROM table2
WHERE field1='id') AS subtable2 You can join more than two queries depending on the output
you want. If someone already posted this topic here I'm sorry I don't know.....

Hi all, Recently there has been lots of questions about configuring MySQL. Usually the rpm

for your reference. Feel free to modify it to suit your needs. One word: My MySQL is configured to
use only large InnoDB Databases, because of the large volume of transactions it handles. You'll
find a reflection of that in the my.cnf... Most home users would use ISAM DB instead. So make the
suitable modifications before you use... Sample "my.cnf" QUOTE #-----------....
how to replicate mysql in realtime (4)
i dont know if this might be useful to ppl here, but this is a very good knowledge for serious
siteadmins. while i was digging for mysql backup techniques, i've found that mysql is able to
do realtime replication. the idea is that there are master server and slave server. both are having
the same version of mysql installed. the data flows; Master >copy> Slave ( in realtime!)
you'll never have to manually copy the database file of wasting your time to manually use the

too many (about 50) insert statements at a time I get errors sometimes. I sometimes even get errors
but then the row is skipped so I don't know there was an error (I'm using linux and SSH).
What's the best way to get my insert statements to put the data in MySQL? Is there anyway that I
can have it tell me if there where any errors all the statements are executed? Thanks for your
