I'm trying to connect to a remote MySQL database via an Ubuntu server using a command like:
mysql -u oooo -p -h ooo.ooo.oo.oo
Then it just returned:
mysql: unknown variable 'log=/var/log/mysql/logfile.log'
I've checked that the file 'logfile.log' does not exist and I have no idea what is the next step.
Search your machine for a file named my.cnf. That file will probably contain your offending variable. Comment it out.

My MySQL CLI client when connecting to a database is automatically showing the data as hex
Connecting in CLI using mysql -u user -p'password' -h host -P port --ssl-mode=DISABLED
To turn this off I have to run it with the --skip-binary-as-hex option to see the data properly
Need help understanding what is causing this is getting enabled by default.
This issue does not exist for other users logging into the same database and is not an issue for me I connect through a DB tool, it occurs only on CLI
Prior to MySQL 8.0.19, the issue which you are facing did not exist. binary-as-hex client option is enabled by default from MySQL 8.0.19 Command Line Client.
Run status or \s in MySQL Command Line Client. You will notice a line about binary data like this:
Binary data as: Hexadecimal

In order to load databases to mysql using terminal, as shown here, the sql file must be already in the server? Or I can upload from my local pc?
If you have mysql installed in your local machine: then you can at once run the import command from local machine's command line
mysql -hmy_server -umy_user -p database_name < full/path/to/file.sql
or you can just go to the directory where your sql file exists and run
mysql -hmy_server -umy_user -p database_name < file.sql
(password will be required after hitting Enter). This way the file will be imported into the remote database from your local computer.
No mysql is installed in your local machine: in this case you have to manually upload the file into the server with some ftp client and then connect remotely(e.g. by Putty) and run similar command
mysql -umy_user -p database_name < path/to/sql/file.sql
Yes. You can SCP or SFTP it to the server, but that command expects a file on the machine. In fact, that particular command expects it to be in the same directory that you are in.
Assuming the file contains SQL statements it can go anywhere. What is important is that the MySQL client you use to read the file can access the database server - usually on port 3306 for MySQL.
On the server, unless your local directory is accessible via network to the server (i.e. network share on another machine which is mapped to some address on your server - convoluted but essentially possible).
Basically, just upload the file to the server and run the command locally there.
NO, the SQL file or SQL script file generally can be present in your machine. When you execute the command, said sql script gets executed against the database.
mysql -u user -p -h servername DB < [Full Path]/test.sql
i was looking this: Copy mysql database from remote server to local computer
And it's the same case as me! but what i need use to connect with the following code:
mysql -u username -p -h remote.site.com
What is this "console"?
Thanks!
EDIT: If there's not possible to pull db by this method, exists some php script that you put db name, server and password and they pull automatically?
Assuming that you have mysql utilities on your machine.
Go to your start menu on your PC and click on "run"
Then when the dos command line come up type in your command.
mysql -u username -p -h your domain.com
If you get an error something like "command not recognized" you will have to first navigate to the mysql bin folder
For example
cd C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin
Then execute the mysql..... Command.
Note, the remote server has to accept the connection. If you get a connection rejects you may want to make sure your remote server allow such a connection.
"console" has different names which often mean the same thing:
Terminal window
DOS prompt
Command prompt
Command line
It's the program on your computer which allows to run commands by typing text instead of clicking on icons and buttons.
I'm a little green at this, and I hope the issue I'm having is a simple one...edit: new information at bottom
I need to make a connection to a remote mysql (Amazon RDS) database.
After following a few tutorials, I have unixodbc and libmyodbc installed and configured on the client, but when I try to connect via isql, I get the error
[08S01][unixODBC][MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver]Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
The most confusing part about this error is that I'm not trying to connect to a local database, but rather to a remote one. I do not have a mysql.sock file on the client...this isn't the issue though is it?
I'm sensing a configuration error but I'm just not sure what it could be.
If I run odbcinst -j then the output is:
DRIVERS............: /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
SYSTEM DATA SOURCES: /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
USER DATA SOURCES..: /root/.odbc.ini
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini is:
[MySQL]
Description = ODBC for MySQL
Driver = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so
Setup = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 5
[MySQL ODBC 515 Driver]
Description = ODBC 5.515 for MySQL
DRIVER = /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5-5.1.5.so
SETUP = /usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
UsageCount = 3
Please note that I had to make up this configuration myself, I did a find for libmyodbc* and found these two .so files, thus set up a driver for each of them. A search for libodbcmyS* yields:
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so
/usr/lib64/unixODBC/libodbcmyS.so.1.0.0
So, I don't know what else that configuration could be.
The content of /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini is:
[target_db]
Driver = MySQL
Server = [servername.com]
Port = 3306
Database = [databasename]
Option = 2
User = [username]
Password = [password]
I've tried different options in "Driver", changing it from MySQL, to MySQL ODBC 515 Driver, to the path to the .so file (eg: /usr/lib64/libmyodbc5.so) and all yield the same result.
I'm running:
odbcinst -i -d -f /etc/unixODBC/odbcinst.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -i -s -l -f /etc/unixODBC/odbc.ini
Followed by:
odbcinst -s -q
Which prints out the name of my connection, ie [target_db]
Then, I try the connect:
isql -v target_db user password
or just
isql -v target_db
and get the error shown above.
Anyone happen to know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks a bunch-
EDIT:
Wanted to mention that I'm able to connect to the database from this server using the mysql command line tools.
I installed a local mysql database, and I'm able to connect to this using isql. It seems to be ignoring my odbc.ini file entirely, i have to enter a name with the command, ie isql -v test-database, but it still tries to connect to localhost despite my settings.
I feel as though I've tried everything but will keep at it and will post if i find a solution.
You could try to connect using the ip of your server instead of the dns entry on the "Server" line of odbc.ini.. Have you verified the driver is installed with phpinfo()?
Try to set the environment variable ODBCINI with the path of your odbc.ini file.
Keep in mind that the odbc.ini file you point to must be "write-accessible" by the user that is running the program (i.e. the user must have permissions to write in this file).
chmod g+w .odbc.ini did it for me since we run the DB with ORACLE-Start and the crs-User seems to be in charge
I have a .sql file on windows that I want to run on mysql server that is present on centOS. I am using the following command to connect and execute the .sql file-
mysql -u user_name -ppassw0rd -h [ip address of centOS] -P [port used
by mysql server] --verbose < file path on windows.
But on executing this command i am getting an error as :
ERROR 2013 (HY000) at line 3: Lost connection to MySQL server during
query
Also is there any way to see the errors that occur when query is executed.
Note - I am using mysql command line tool on windows to run the above command.
