Is there any other way to copy MySQL databases from one computer to the other, except importing each and every database individually?
Actually in my office PC there seems to have a problem, so they are changing all the PC's in the office. My MySQL has a lot of databases in it. So I am looking for a one shot process so that all the databases gets copied to my new PC.
Yes, you can simply backup the whole database and restore it on the other PC. Find below the steps;
Backing Up Your Database
First, navigate to your phpMyAdmin page via cPanel or whatever alternative administration system your host provides i.e. Plesk etc. and log in
From the dropdown box on the left (or the text link) click on your e107 database to show all the fields
In the main page, click on the 'Export' tab
Make sure the main 'Structure' 'select all' and 'Data' boxes are ticked
In the right box, make sure 'Add drop table', 'Add AUTO_INCREMENT value' and 'Enclose table and field names with backquotes' are ticked
select the SQL format in the 'export' column'
Tick 'Save as file'
If you want the backup file compressed, tick either 'zipped' or 'gzipped'
Click 'Go'to save your file - the preferred location would be your own PC
Restoring a backup
In PhpMyAdmin main page - Click on the 'SQL' tab at the top and browse to the location of your backup file.
Then select 'Go' from the tab at the bottom right corner of the screen - you may need to empty your existing database before you can restore the backup however normally you don't as the backup will simply overwrite the existing database.

I need to make something in the database. It was saved as .accdb files. I copied this from my workplace and now I want to edit it on my home computer, but when I've open these files and tried to see already made commands I got an error message that I have not a valid path. This error occurs while I want to open command forms for adding and deleting, which need to use other databases.
How can I change the path so my Access will know, where these files are stored on my computer?
Go to band option (Database) Tools.
Select Linked Table Manager (label is localized).
Mark the checkbox down-left: Always as for new location.
Click Mark All, then OK.
Input the folder name where the data file exists.
I had a bunch of unsaved scripts open. Today I restarted MySQL Workbench, there was an error message and now the scripts are gone. Is there a way to restore them somehow?
You can try to find your script in History Output. Check this answer: MySql workbench query history ( last executed query / queries ) i.e. create / alter table, select, insert update queries
If the save snapshot option is enable (this can be done by --> Edit>Preferences>SQL Editor>Save snapshot of open editors on close) then you can find the data in \%APPDATA%\MySQL\Workbench\log\sql_actions_unconnected.log. It is a log file, you can copy your code and paste it in a code editor which would put the code in the right format
This just happened to me and thankfully it turns out MySQL Workbench does actually autosave tab contents to disk. You can find them starting at your base configuration file path which is described here. The path to the scratch files is something like this:
{BASE_CONFIG_PATH}/sql_workspaces/{CONNECTION_NAME}.autosave/
Inside that folder is a bunch of .scratch files, looks like one per tab you had open for that connection. They're named with UUIDs, but just drop them all in a text editor and you should be able to find your lost tab contents pretty quickly.
If they're gone, they're gone, unfortunately. You should save them before you exit WorkBench (CTRL+S), since it has been very prone to errors like that, at least to me.
I'm exporting an old release 1.9.2 and importing to 3.0.2.
Each module has dozens of videos that I play via an URL/link, which points to my own .PHP program on the site (and that wraps a Camtasia video).
I found that in 3.0.2, the link opens on a separate page, unless I edit each link by going to "Appearance", then "Display" and setting it to "Embed".
So I would like to write a mySQL update script to automatically set this flag for all such links (I will add a where clause to my script name).
I checked database in PHP/MyAdmin, and didn't see any likely table names.
You should attempt to use the admin tools to update everything, go to your moodle installation's main URL.
Then go to the site administration. After /admin in the url, add /tool/replace and go there.
You can there enter what you want to find in the db, and replace it with another value. Just be carefull with this tool and make a backup before you begin.
I currently have a functioning form that searches through my database by calling a query. What I'm trying to do is turn this into a standalone application where I can simply open a file and only the form opens, running the database on the back-end. I have tried running a macro that opens the form, and I have tried creating a shortcut to my desktop, but nothing has worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything that will only show the form and the search results would be good (desktop shortcut, HTML file, etc.).
Thanks!
You will need to split your database so that the tables are located in a separate back-end file (which can be kept on a server). These instructions apply to Access 2007 and 2010 but the process is very similar for 2013.
Once this is done, your tables will become linked tables (stored in a separate file) and your front-end .addcb file will only contain queries, forms and reports.
You can control which form opens when the application loads through File -> Options -> Current Database. There are also several other useful controls here for limiting what the user can do; ie.
Hiding the list of database
Hiding the tabs (you will therefore need to create buttons to move between forms)
Hiding the Ribbon and/or status bar
Disabling Layout View
It's safest to change these settings on a copy, so you don't inadvertently lock yourself out; however, by holding down shift when opening the file from within Access, most of these options will be bypassed and you will be able to edit the database / revert these settings should you need to.
In terms of making it a "stand-alone application", it is possible to create a copy that will open without requiring the full version of MS Access on the user's PC (instead using Access Runtime).
I always distribute my front-ends as .accde format (File -> Export ACCDE). The benefits are as follows:
Smaller file size
Optimise memory usage / improves performance
VBA code runs but cannot be viewed or edited

Basic idea, create a macro called AutoExec that checks for a command line argument when opening the database. Setup a shortcut with a command line argument (whatever you decide to name it, I'll use 'lookuponly' as the example.) like this:
"C:\Users\%Username%\Desktop\MyDatabase.mdb" /cmd "lookuponly"
when you double click the shortcut it should auto-run the macro and open your lookup form. Of course under newer versions of access you'll have to set the location of the database as a trusted location or access will attempt to block the database.

How do I execute a .sql file using mysql and netbeans.
I am doing a course that requires me to interact with an .sql file that they have provided but the good guys at the Fitzwilliam institute haven't deemed it fit to explain how to use this file.
If can tell me that would be great.
I have already set up the basic database using netbeans and mySql.
Thank you
Ok, if you have created a connection to your MySql db, then things are pretty forward. Go to 'Services' tab, expand the Database options. Right click the connection you have created. Click 'Connect' to connect to the db. And then right click your connection and click 'Execute Command...'.
Write the command in the editor, and click the 'Run Sql' (Ctrl+Shift+E)
if the sql file is too large, netbeans cannot open it. In this case you can use the tool ij (link) which comes with Derby:
Start ij commandline tool and then do something like this:
ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:MyDbTest;create=true' user 'peter' password 'parker';
ij> run 'sqlscript.sql';
Running an SQL Script
Another way to manage table data in NetBeans IDE is by running an external SQL script directly in the IDE. If you have created an SQL script elsewhere, you can simply open it in NetBeans IDE and run it in the SQL Editor.
For demonstrative purposes, download ifpwafcad.sql and save it to a location on your computer. This script creates two tables similar to what you just created above (Counselor and Subject), and immediately populates them with data.
Because the script overwrites these tables if they already exist, delete the Counselor and Subject tables now so it becomes obvious that new tables are being created when the script is run. To delete tables:
Right-click the Counselor and Subject table nodes in the Database Explorer and choose Delete.
Click Yes in the Confirm Object Deletion dialog box. Note that the dialog box lists the tables that will be deleted.
When you click Yes in the Confirm Object Deletion dialog box, the table nodes are automatically removed from the Database Explorer.
To run the SQL script on MyNewDatabase:
Choose File > Open File from the IDE's main menu. In the file browser navigate to the location where you previously saved ifpwafcad.sql and click Open. The script automatically opens in the SQL Editor.
Make sure your connection to MyNewDatabase is selected from the Connection drop-down box in the toolbar at the top of the Editor.
Connection drop-down box in the SQL Editor toolbar
Click the Run SQL (run SQL button) button in the SQL Editor's task bar. The script is executed against the selected database, and any feedback is generated in the Output window.
To verify changes, right-click the MyNewDatabase connection node in the Runtime window and choose Refresh.
The Refresh option updates the Database Explorer's UI component to the current status of the specified database. Note that the two new tables from the SQL script now display as a table nodes under MyNewDatabase in the Database Explorer.
Choose View Data from the right-click menu of a selected table node to see the data contained in the new tables. In this manner, you can compare the tabular data with the data contained in the SQL script to see that they match.
