I have an Access 2010 database which has two MakeTable queries. The associated filename to where it the query will make a table currently needs to be changed manually when moving the database between environments.
This recently caused an issue when the database went live as it was making the table against the test version in the back end database.
We have library code which auto-relinks tables when a database moves between environments but is is possible to also change the 'File Name:' which the make table is looking for in vba code?
Any help would be much appreciated.
You can edit queries from code like this:
Currentdb.QueryDefs("YourMakeTableQuery").SQL = "INSERT NEW QUERY HERE"
I don't know how your current query looks, but you just have to rebuild it here and insert the correct database path.

I'm a java dev who uses Mysql Workbench as a database client and IntelliJ IDEA as an IDE. Every day I do SQL queries to the database from 5 up to 50 times a day.
Is there a convenient way to save and re-run frequently used queries in Mysql Workbench/IntelliJ IDEA so that I can:
avoid typing a full query which has already been used again
smoothly access a list of queries I've already used (e.g by auto-completion)
If there is no way to do it using Mysql Workbench / IDEA, could you please advise any good tools providing this functionality?
Thanks!
Create Stored Procedures, one per query (or sequence of queries). Give them short names (to avoid needing auto-completion).
For example, to find out how many rows in table foo (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo;).
One-time setup:
DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE foo_ct
BEGIN;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo;
END //
DELIMITER ;
Usage:
CALL foo_ct();
You can pass arguments in in order to make minor variations. Passing in a table name is somewhat complex, but numbers of dates, etc, are practical and probably easy.
If you have installed SQLyog for your mysql then you can use Favorites menu option in which you can save your query and in one click it will automatically writes the saved query on Query Editor.
The previous answers are correct - depending on the version of the Query Browser they are either called Favorites or Snippets - the problem being you can't create sub-folders to group them. And keeping tabs open is an option - but sometimes the browser 'dies' - and you're back to ground 0. So the obvious solution I came up with - create a database table! I have a few 'metadata' fields for descriptions - the project a query is associated to; problem the query solves; and the actual query.
You could keep your query library in an SQL file and load that when WB opens (it's automatically opened when you restart WB and that file was open on last close). When you want to run a specific query place the caret in it's text and press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to run only this query. The organization of that SQL file is totally up to you. You have more freedom than any "favorites" solution can give you. You can even have more than one file with grouped statements.
Additionally, MySQL Workbench has a query history (see the Output Tab), which is saved to disk, so you can return to a query even month's after you wrote it.
I'm wondering if there is any better way than going through the tables one by one adding the columns missing when some fields/tables needs to be added because of the most recent changes in the app?
For example, I'm working at the localhost and when I finish doing the new version of my app, I will put all the files into my FTP and, sometimes, I have done, in my local database, changes and so it means that I also need to update my database at my server.
There's any better way to add/edit the columns/tables without changing the info? Some of the columns are also deleted, etc.
Hopefully you've thought your database design through so that making changes to the structure is a rare occurrence. If you're making regular changes to the number of columns or adding tables, it's likely a sign that you haven't normalized your database structure sufficiently.
Anyway, I'd script it as an SQL file that you deploy (which you can then run through phpMyAdmin or the command line or any other means you prefer to execute SQL queries). This has the added advantage of being something you can easily duplicate across your development and production databases, send to customers, and if you wish store in version control so you know when exactly you made the changes to the database.
This way, you'll end up with an SQL file that has a couple of statements like
ALTER TABLE `foo` ADD `new` INT NOT NULL ;
or something similar.
As for how you'd make the file, probably the easiest way is just copying and pasting the generated SQL statement from phpMyAdmin after modifying the table -- the SQL code used to make the change is shown near the top of the screen on the next page. You can copy and paste that to a new text file to create your SQL file. You may wish to add the first line
use `baz`;
using your database name instead of "baz". That way you don't have to specify on import which database the changes are meant for.
Hope this helps.
I have a problem and not sure if this is possible. My web application has a database and i'm using a mysql workbench and using wamp server.
My web app has a database name healthcare, and if I import again another database with the same tables, etc but addition data. I want the first database to be updated only with new values but not replaced.
Is it possible?
Edit: I searched in the net and other related sources and I manage to set my phpmyadmin "Ignore multiple statement errors". When I import the second database (.sql with same tables but with new data) it does not update the first database but the message is successful. Please help, I'll appreciate any help...
in the past ive searched for tools to do some similar database sync tasks - in my experience ive found that none are free & reliable.
have you tried writing some queries to do this manually?
first thing that comes to mind would be figuring out a key you can use to evaluate each row and determine if you should copy said record from database A to database B.
afterwards you could simply do an INSERT(SELECT)
INSERT INTO healthcare_DESTINATION.table (SELECT * FROM healthcare_SOURCE WHERE some_condition = 1);
obviously this is the simplified version - but i've done something very similar utilizing timestamps (eg only copy rows newer than the newest row in the destination table)
hope this helps
I need to setup a development environment for several developers. Each of them needs to test the software with a "fresh" MySQL database. There is a SQL file with many CREATE, ALTER and INSERT queries.
Currently there is a PHP script with mysqli::multi_query that creates a new database and performs all queries from the SQL file. It is called each time when some developer needs a fresh instance of database. But it takes too much time to execute all needed queries.
I tried to change script to execute mysql < my_pre_mysqldumped_file.sql, but it is almost same slow.
Also, I tried to have an "initial" database and copy each table with CREATE TABLE ... LIKE ..., but it does not copy foreign keys.
So, the question: what is the fastest way from server performance point of view to create a new one or copy existing MySQL database?
Based on my investigation in the internet, I suppose that there is no efficient way to do it. I also have asked this question at https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/51257/what-is-the-most-efficient-way-to-create-new-mysql-database. Guido's suggestion to have a stack of pre-generated databases seems to be the most relevant.
I have a table with:
vegetable name -- calcium contents -- Potassium contents -- vitamins -- fibers-- price (etc)
Let's say there are 5 entries (rows) in the table and I have to initially feed the data manually, like a first one time data feeding.
My requirement/problem is:
On a GUI when I select a vegetable name from a drop down menu I should get the contents displayed and then all of them should get added to get final score except the 'price'.
On the GUI if I select the 'vegetable name' and any one of the other 'property' (like 'fibers') then only that value should be displayed. e.g query-- spinach, fiber ? answer spinach-fiber = 20 unit., or spinach-vitamins = 40units etc.
I also want help in what type of database I should use here and how to populate the data for accessing it in the program later on. I believe its a simple data table of small size so what is the most efficient way of doing this?
Specific help with code will be of great help as I am absolutely new to java and netbeans.
Also, can I have a separate GUI for adding/appending further data from user in the same table? If yes, how is it done please?
I am using Netbeans 7.1.2.
After some search I got info about MySQL datatables in netbeans. (http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/java-db.html)
I have created and made entries in the table but do not know how to access them for my questions 1 and 2 above. Also not sure if it is the right data table that I should be using for such simple use.
Seems like you need to learn about JDBC first. Just to clarify connecting to a database inside the IDE is generally used for more development/administrative type duties and you WONT be using it in your Swing program.
So for example you need to load a set of test data to test a function you would typically use either the MySQL workbench or load it via the IDE. However you will not connect this way when you run a program.
What you need to learn is how to connect to a database from a front end, how to execute a query and how to display the query. At this point I would suggest getting a couple of books on JDBC or even doing a google search for JDBC introduction tutorials.
Get to learn JDBC without thinking too much about the front end. Do a couple of examples and then once you are familiar with JDBC then work on the front end.
You might want to spend time on learning basic SQL as well as this will be needed to properly query your database. I am assuming you have not done any SQL.
Here is a reasonably good link to a site with information that you might want to use http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/fcdb/oracle/or-jdbc.html
Just remember the IDE(Netbeans) basically uses JDBC to allow you to connect and manipulate data. So while it is based on JDBC the IDE database explorer is NOT the tool you will be using when programming your swing interface.
