Alright, so I've got a fairly fresh Ubuntu (server) installation. Just finished installing the LAMP server and when I go to create a database I'm getting the generic syntax error (1064 / 42000).
My query:
CREATE DATABASE phpbb;
Pretty simple and pretty standard, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?
It looks from your error like you're trying to execute SQL on the command line, something like:
mysql -u mike -p CREATE DATABASE phpbb';
MySQL isn't going to like that, it separates the initiation of the tool from the SQL commands.
What I'd normally do for CREATE DATABASE, as it's a one off, I'd do it manually.
So start the tool with
mysql -u mike -p
This should prompt you for your password, and connect to the local database, giving you a shell prompt:
mysql>
You then issue your
CREATE DATABASE phpbb;
If you want to run scripts from the command line, put them in a file and redirect the input to mysql. Usually you'd redirect the output too - something like this:
mysql -u mike -p < mysqlscript.sql > outputofscript.log

I have a MySQL database hosted on Digital Ocean Managed Database service. I lost my previous dev machine and did not push the Schema to git along with application files. I am desperate to get back the SQL Schema in my local machine for further Development but have so far been usuccessfull. I have tried so many commands from different suggestions but they all failed.
I connect to the DB via the MySQL Shell using the command:
mysql -u username -password-h example-test-do-user-7878789-0.b.db.ondigitalocean.com -P 25060 -D example_db
All queries are executed successfully via this shell method. When trying to Dump the Schema to my machine, I use the following command:
mysql -u username -p -h mysql-test-do-user-4915853-0.db.ondigitalocean.com -P 25060 your_database_name \> database_file_name.sql
But I get the error as follows: mysqldump: unknown variable 'set-gtid-purged=OFF'
if I remove that part and try again, I get the error:
mysqldump: Got error: 2003: "Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061 "Unknown error")" when trying to connect
which doesnt make sense to me. So, without further ranting; How to I achieve my intended result.
NOTE: I did try Mysql workbench, but it won't connect all together
I can appreciate trying to achieve what you want via mysql shell. I stumbled across the same problem and for quite some tie did not find the help i needed, then I tried doing it using mysql workbench. Try it and you will find that its easier than usin the command-line approach. MySQL Workbench has a good GUI based database miguration capability. You can migrate you Do Managed DB directly into you local mysql server or export a schema dump. If you decide to go wit this approach, just make sure you add your machine's IP as a trusted source, else you will not be able to connect.
I have a MySQL database which is hosted in Azure, and I have MySQL Workbench installed on my laptop. I want to do some importing from a CSV file located in my laptop, but whenever I try to that, I get an error message saying:
The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version
I did some online searching, and I found out that I need to run the following command:
mysql -u myuser -p --local-infile somedatabase
But, I don't know where I have to run it, and how, while as I said my database is hosted in Azure.
mysql is just the commandline executable of the MySql client. And most probably it is even part of the MySql workbech - just check the MySQL Workbech working folder. But the result will not be different is my guess.
The best way you can manage Import/Export for MySQL is to use a Free Tier WebSite and Install the phpMyAdmin extension.
I am trying to learn PHP and MySQL and while I reached a chapter on MySQL I was asked to create a database using this command:
CREATE DATABASE publications;
After I typed it in the mysql console I got this error:
ERROR 1044(42000):Access denied for user ''#localhost' to database 'root'
I am already logged in to my administrator account so I think the privileges should't be a problem.I have installed with the XAMPP package.
How can this be solved?
It could be possible that you upgraded your version of EasyPHP or you did something to disable the root password. If that is the case, you should try reestablishing a password for root. Had the same problem and that's how I solved it.
Go to http://localhost/xampp/ and set the appropriate passwords (in Security tab). If you use mysql client program, make sure you call it with appropriate credentials: mysql -u <username> -p <password>. Username will mostly be root until you create some new accounts.
Then I suggest you use phpMyAdmin for experimenting with MySQL (it should be at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ )
This is getting a little confused - let me try to answer this.
Mysqladmin is a command line client for administering your mysql database system - you normally don't need to run it once you have mysql working. The shell command line interface to the mysql server is mysql. (If you don't know how to run a shell command line, that's another problem. Also, if you're on Windows, say so, since that has its own challenges.) The arguments are:
mysql -u username -ppassword databasename
if you are running this command on the same server as mysql. Note the lack of space after the -p - that is important.
So, type the above line to invoke the command line interface to mysql. Then you can type your mysql commands. Things like show tables, desc tablename, etc., will work. That is they will work unless you have an authentication problem. But you will know you have an authentication problem because when you tried to run mysql as above, it will fail with some error, like "Access denied for user 'abc'#'localhost' (using password: YES)". This is a nice descriptive error message that points you exactly where the problem is.
Does that help?
You can go back to using xampp or anything else once you've made sure that you know the right parameters by checking with the command line. (Always check with the command line when strangeness happens - it's so much easier than trying to debug through other interfaces.)
I created a data base using mysql. I used MySQLDump to create one database backup file in text format (MySql 5.5 on Windows XP). The database is local on my machine (local host).
I am having trouble using the MySQL command to load the dump file to restore the database. I have done the following:
Research stack overflow for how to do it. I noticed there's a bug using the MySQL command to restore the data from a post. Before I run the command, I DROP the database and CREATE the database using MySQL workbench.
I type the following command in the DOS prompt to restore the database:
mysql -u root -p -h localhost -D matlab_data -o < backup.sql
backup.sql is a the backup file in text format created by MySqlDump.
I am then asked for the password which I enter. I get the DOS prompt right away with no error message. I've waited several hours for the command to run and the database is still empty.
I have tried various command formats over the last few days. If I enter incorrect data in the command line (non existen file, database, etc), I get an error message.
I feel I would not see the DOS prompt until the database is restored. If I don't DROP and CREATE the database, I get an error message. Otherwise, not.
Does anybody have any idea what the issue is? I realize that I could be making a stupid mistake.
Thank you for your help.
shell into the mysql console and run the sql file as this
If you are already running mysql, you can execute an SQL script file using the source command or . command:
mysql> source file_name
mysql> \. file_name
note that file_name must be an absolut path
Im trying to create my own database with MySQL Workbench and run some queries on it. I have MySQL server 5.1 running and can enter queries in the command line tool to ask for version number and such.
But how do I get the server to host the database that I created in Workbench? When I enter "use MijnDatabase" or "-u root#localhost -p MijnDatabase" it says the database cannot be found. This makes sense, "MijnDatabase" the database file name and it's not connected to the server in any way (also tried with "mydb" wich is the db name I see inside Workbench).
Anyway I'm missing the link between MySQL server and hosting an actual database file.
When you create a database use only lower case letters and use underscore to separate words:
create database my_database;
use my_database;
show tables;
etc...
To connect to your database use:
mysql -u root -p
enter your password then
use my_database;
show tables;
etc...
I have not used MySQL Workbench but the command line and phpMyAdmin. I suggest you start using the command line to learn a little bit MySQL, then use a GUI tool. However the command line is your best teacher.
Have a look in the reference doc: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/create-database.html
. Lean how to create a user and grant him permission on the database.
