Yes, you can use ADO to create an ODBC connection between an excel spreadsheet and MySQL. It may even be a bit easier to import the excel data into Access and then use the data connection and querying abilities of Access.

Alternately you can export your Excel data to a CSV file and use the tools in MySQL to import the data file.

Mysql Overhead

(3)

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....

Mysql Multiple Tables

(3)

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....

Mysql And User File_priv

(0)

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....

how to replicate mysql in realtime (4)

the same version of mysql installed. the data flows; Master >copy> Slave ( in realtime!)

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
