    Need help with MySQL5 trigger calling procedure syntax

    I have an UPDATE trigger on my inventory_transactions table, set to call the spUpdateInventoryCounts procedure for the iInventoryID (FK) record being modified. Here's the code for my update trigger: DELIMITER $$ DROP TRIGGER /*!50032 IF EXISTS */ sp_IT_Update$$ create trigger sp_IT_Update...

    Problem with UPDATE trigger code in MySQL5

    MySQL5 doesn't like my UPDATE trigger: DELIMITER $$ DROP TRIGGER /*!50032 IF EXISTS */ `tiremate`.`sp_updatetrans`$$ CREATE TRIGGER `tiremate`.`sp_updatetrans` AFTER UPDATE on `tiremate`.`inventory_transactions` FOR EACH ROW BEGIN update inventory set iqtyinstock = (select sum(nqty) from...

    Want to programatically call MYSQLDUMP from VFP9

    From the MySQL link you provided, I now see the --host option (and -u and -p) so I'm believing that I should simply create a batch file on the fly with this behavior (and then delete it afterwards to ensure that userid/pwd info is NOT seen by strangers): MYSQL // will put the computer into...

    Want to programatically call MYSQLDUMP from VFP9

    Can my client app call a Stored Proc on the server to get it to kick off the backup on itself? btw--thanks for the link--I had read that before posting but didn't see the part about where it connected to the remote host.

    Want to programatically call MYSQLDUMP from VFP9

    Ok, I follow you...but what if this client PC is not where the data is hosted? For example, ClientPC runs the app, but it connects to the data on ServerPC. My understanding is that invoking the client would be fine as long as the data is on that box.

    Ditto....well deserved. I've really benefitted (and hence my software products have too) from your tips on Interface design. May you have many years yet in the VFP community. --Michael J. Babcock, MB Software Solutions, LLC mbsoftwaresolutions dot com

    VFP9 and Vista

    Because we are no longer able to write to Program Files, does that mean that we should adjust our programs to point to a folder in the Application Data folder instead? I've got a demo software that writes to a subfolder called "Data" under the installed folder (which is in Program...

    Want to programatically call MYSQLDUMP from VFP9

    My VFP9 app uses a MySQL5 database. I've reviewed the syntax of the MYSQLDUMP command but I'm unsure of how to invoke that from my VFP9 app. I'd basically like to have a simple option on my app's menu that says "Backup database" whereby my code then runs something like...

    OPTION value used from Visual Foxpro SQLSTRINGCONNECT

    Here's the connection string I use commonly with my VFP9 apps connecting to a MySQL5 backend: DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;UID=mike;PWD=foxrocks;DATABASE=mydb;option=131609 I was wondering what other values for the OPTION parameter folks use? Sometimes, I get some...

    When designing tables, do widths with multiples of 8 fair better?

    I had heard a rumor (perhaps about MySQL) that if you design tables to have field widths of multiles-of-8 (like varchar(8), varchar(16), varchar(64)) that they'd perform better (perhaps due to internal optimizations based on computer-word lengths). Any truth to that? tia, --Michael

    multiple key indexing

    We're on the same page...thanks. I never meant to give the impression that the PK on iid was going away...that's a given to be there for me. ;-) I think I was mixing up constraints and candidate indexes. You've made it clear now. Thanks! --Michael

    multiple key indexing

    Hi Mike, Good advice, and I had added the unique constraint for data integrity. But my real question is "how many indexes (beyond the PK): one for cReference and one for cReference+cCode or would just one for cReference+cCode suffice? (iow, does having both indexes--cReference AND...

    multiple key indexing

    I created a simple lookup table with these columns: iid = auto-inc, primary key cReference = varchar(30), reference to owner/entity cCode = varchar(16), abbreviation used as FK in other tables cDescription = varchar(64), description for cCode I've got a primary index on iid (obviously), and I...

    DISTINCT vs GROUP BY

    Assuming an index on cCustNum field, which would be better in terms of performance? 1) select distinct cCustNum from MyTable where <somecondition> 2) select cCustNum from MyTable where <somecondition> GROUP BY cCustNum QA's estimated execution plan seems to show that these are identical, but...

    Problem with Temp table created in IF block

    George, Looks like your idea originally is going to work (the one where I create the Temp Cursor and then just do an INSERT INTO ...SELECT SQL. Thanks! --Michael

    Problem with Temp table created in IF block

    George, The difference in the two queries is this: one gets ALL the records for a given sales rep, whereas the other one only gets a specific sales rep. You're query above gets the specific sales rep or any that match a NULL value....it does NOT satisfy the need to grab ALL of the sales reps...
