I am a newbie programmer (if i can be even considered a programmer) trying to teach myself mySQL. After reading through plenty of pages and watching multiple youtube videos i came across Sublime Text and i really like the functionality of it. i have been trying to configure sqlexec package available on github: https://github.com/jum4/sublime-sqlexec
I have added the code available on the documentation page (http://lubriciousdevelopers.github.io/projects/sublime-sql-exec/) under "Settings-User". I am getting a connected to the database, i can see all the tables within the DB and can bring up the query line as well. the status line at the bottom of sublime text-2 says "running sql command" and then nothing. no results. and the query is simple "SELECT * FROM ".
any tips/advice on this would be greatly appreciated. i can provide any additional details if needed.
many thanks in advance.

I am new to mysql and databases in general. I've come across a problem that I can't seem to find a solution too. I'm not sure even how to word the scenario.
Basically I have a concatenated field that I need to take "explode" and make each value its of that field its own row. I'm pulling this data from a daily feed, so this needs to be automated as either a trigger, stored procedure, or scheduled job in Talend. Here is a simplified version of the situation. Please see the "current file format" and the "desired outcome" pics. Sorry- this is my first post here! Any help would be appreciated!
I am using a mysql database. Currently the file is coming in via csv export, but I will be connecting via Talend Open Studio to sync the data. See the links below for and example. Here is a sample.
A precise answer is difficult without seeing your code, and the sample link returns 404 for me. You should be able to do this within Talend. Try using Talend’s tExtractDelimitedFields or tExtractRegexFields commands to achieve the result you want.
I apologise in advance for I know that this question has been asked several times already, but being a complete beginner at wordpress coding and database handling, I am still not sure about what those answers really meant.
So having just coded a website and converted it into WordPress, I now find myself having to change all of the localhost strings to the accurate ones, but with hundreds to go through, I just wanted to know if any of you were able to recommend a program or technique within PHPMyAdmin (that I may not be aware of) to avoid having to change them one at a time.
Thank you all in advance for your time and attention.
First, let me start by saying this is very dangerous, especially for an absolute beginner such as yourself. Please use this with extreme caution as you can potentially bring the entire site down by replacing values in your database with the wrong data.
With that said, there is a script specifically designed for doing search and replace on the WordPress MySQL database. http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
Here's the direct download link: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB/archive/master.zip
You will extract the folder from the donwloaded zip, then upload the folder to the root of your WordPress install. Once its uploaded just reference the folder in the browser. I always rename the folder to sr (shorthand for search and replace) so its easier to write out the full URL. So as an example, once its in the root of the WordPress install you'd access it like www.example.com/sr/.
After you access the script in the browser, you'll have a GUI with two boxes at the top. The first you'll enter the string you're searching for, and the replace string goes in the second box. Your MySQL details/login should already be populated. After entering your S&R terms scroll down and click "Update Details", then do the "Dry Run" option first. It'll run through the database and show you the values that will be changed. If you are satisfied with the changes, click "Live Run".
Depending on the database size it'll take just a short time to complete. This is the easiest way to S&R the WordPress database.
Important: for security reasons you'll want to delete this folder from your server after you have finished using it. You don't want a database S&R utility just lingering around for no reason.
Another possible option if you're familiar with WP-CLI is to use the wp search-replace command: https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/search-replace/ This would be done through Terminal or another command line utility.
In phpMyAdmin open your table, choose Search > Find and replace. Then specify in which column you want to find and replace, and the original and replacement texts.
Without any doubt I would use http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
This tool is especially designed for the situation you describe.
You upload the code to your server and then enter the "find" and "replace"
You can then do a dry run and the system will show you all the replaces that will be made across every single table in your Wordpress database.
Once you're happy then you can do a live run and the changes are made.
I have used this on probably one hundred Wordpress sites and it works a charm.
I have been working with Phpmyadmin for quite some time and recently i came across Jetbrains Phpstorm and Intellij which i both really liked.
Now i found the database environment Datagrip.
I wanted to know objectively:
what are the advantages of Datagrip over Phpmyadmin and vice versa.
What does Datagripgive me that Phpmyadmin lacks?
What does Phpmyadmin give me that Datagrip lacks?
I am using PhpStorm and Datagrip since February 2017. Before that I was using Dreamweaver and PhpMyAdmin.
The only thing PhpMyAdmin had an advantage over Datagrip from my perspective, was searching the whole database. But since 2019 Datagrip has a "full text search" which does exactly the same.
Furthermore:
Datagrip is fully integrated into your IDE (PhpStorm, PyCharme, IntelliJ, etc). You don't need to leave it to run any SQL queries.
within the SQL console you have access to the "live templates" which let you insert huge code snippets impossible to remember via typing a few letters of the live template name. Before:
after:
SQL consoles are saved automatically (by a consecutive number). And you can save them as SQL files to any directory right from the console via ctrl/cmd + s
you also have access to the IDE's huge clipboard with (in my case) 100 previously copied text pieces, while each of them can be a whole (SQL) document:
it so easy to modify a table without writing any queries (table name, column name, foreign keys, indexes, column data type, etc):
the tables and search results are super easy to edit and update as if you would edit an Excel table
you can assign to /setup on any project as many databases as you like and access them easily
you can assign/setup and access any remote database via an SSH tunnel
you can assign/setup any type of DBMS:
Datagrip checks the SQL query syntax live, before you even run it
this is my IDE setup for testing query time on two identical sites running on different server setups (the one on nginx/mysql and the other one on Openlitespeed/Mariadb):
All that you get only for a couple of bucks! I pay now for PhpStorm only 80€ annually! I pay often much more for a single site license of some shitty wordpress plugin! But get a really really high quality software product with PhpStorm. Seriously, probably the only company I would LOVE to work as employee (being freelancer throughout my whole dev "career") is probably JetBrains. It seems as they can read my thoughts :D. Sure there are some few minor issues. But any time they bring out a new version I am excited as a child.
No I'm not paid by JetBrains :D And no I don't hype them because I'm Russian. At the time I felt in love with them I thought it is a Czech company with a bunch of Russian devs (nothing unusual in Europe). And Czech's in general don't like Russians. So I loved them even I thought they wouldn't love me :D Only a year after I've switched from Dreamweaver to PhpStorm I've found out it is a fully Russian company.
The only thing I hate in Datagrip is that the SQL console output shares for any reason a tab/window with Docker (dafuq?) and it is a huge pain in the as* to navigate between multiple query outputs/results (as in the example above where I compare the performance of two servers)
Update:
the only flaw of Datagrip from my perspective (pain in the as* to switch between console outputs) has gone now as well! :D
I've found a setting by which you can just simply open a "services" tree (Command + Shift + T) which list all the active/latest "services". I still don't understand why the Datagrip console output doesn't have a dedicated window, but at least I can now navigate easily between the different console's output:
What does Datagripgive me that Phpmyadmin lacks?
DataGrip provides fast code completion, based on the syntax — it can even complete your JOIN clause based on foreign keys.
It also has data editor — so you can edit several cells at once or you can edit many rows locally and then submit them.
Also you can navigate inside the grid y foreign keys.
Multi-cursor in the editor can help you edit a bunch of statements.
What does Phpmyadmin give me that Datagrip lacks?
PhpMyAdmin can export to PDF, ISO/IEC 26300 - OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Word, LATEX
PhpMyAdmin has more administration features, dataGrip is not focused at administration at all
It also supports working with user accounts and privileges
I'm locked out of Wordpress install but I have access to the cPanel of this site.
I need to just remove some links that are pointing to another site that I'm trying to rank for in google's SERPs.
So I figured that maybe I can query the database for all instances of the referring link I need to remove, and remove them that way, instead of waiting 10 million years for the support team to get back to me.
My question is this:
How would I search all the posts in a Wordpress database for a string or link, and then how would I delete them? I know close to nothing about SQL, so your help is really appreciated...
I highly recommend pulling an export of the database and searching that data that way. Be aware that some text editors might struggle opening files of more than a few megabytes.
Another way to do this if you have access to phpMyAdmin is to click on the database name and then click search. You can enter the link you are looking for and search all the tables that way.
I am new to dreamweaver cs4 and am trying to do some basic functionality. I have followed an online tutorial which showed me how to create a template.dwt file and include some editable regions in the file. Then to create HTML and PHP files based on the template which let me put data in the various editable regions.
I want to take this a step further and show data from a MySQL DB on a page. I have created a connection to the MySQL server and tested it okay. I have created a recordset and am at the point where I cant see how to display the recordset on a page in an editable region. If anyone has any ideas or has any tutorials online that they can point me towards that would be great.
Thanks
Although this isn't a free online tutorial the book series "The Missing Manual" is actually very detailed with Dreamweaver.
