According to �Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0� from Wrox, Data Source Names
�are a largely outdated method of specifying connection details, mainly because they use ODBC drivers instead of OLE-DB providers to handle the data. We include them here only because you may come across DSNs when working with legacy systems.�
Which is better: using ODBC with a mySql database or not using ODBC with this type of database?
Also, based on the model below, how do you create a connection to a mySql database (using myODBC and not using myODBC)? Please note that I will be testing the database on my PC but it will also be used on a website. Code:
I have my site hosted with uplinkearth.com which supports MySQL; they say: "We have set up your MySQL database for you." (i.e. it is ready for me to work on it). My site is a classifieds page that is small(not much code at all) but gets a lot of traffic and I want to switch from Access to MySQL.
I know that some conventions are different, but on a more general note, what is the process of conversion? I have someone who will be working with the ASP code, I just need to know the basic procedure, i.e. how do I make changes to my database, etc. How will it be different than working with Access? I've heard "MySQL Front" is a good program to edit the DB.
I have always used PHP and MySQL to do anything database related on the web, however I find myself in a new situation. I've been handed the daunting task of creating a (relatively) simple, partially database driven website for my company's intranet.
The one problem I have is that all of our servers are Windows 2000 based because all of the in-house software we have works off of SQL Server... and I've never touched a windows based server, SQL Server, or ASP in my life.
Searching through the forums, I've been able to find a few ASP tutorial sites, but everything I've found seems to be either all technical info and no basics or a basic tutorial written for people who are already familiar with Visual Basic, C, or another type of windows programming 'thing'.
I've got a query that works fine when used in mySQL but completely fails when I try to apply it to MS Access, weird thing is that it is just a copy of a stored procedure that works fine in the same copy (with the Request.QueryString replaced by a fixed value) ! Any explaination would be great, ID is a number BTW :
SELECT page_title,ID,page_content FROM content WHERE ID='" & Request.QueryString("ID") & "' '
Had a look at aspfaq.com but couldn't find anything that applys.
I've been using URL asp shopping cart (free version) for a while with an access database and it worked perfectly.
My store is very popular now (more than 200 simultaneous users) and I need to migrate to a professional database. Comersus is compatible with SQL Server and mySQL. Which one do you recommend? My idea was to use mySQL since in that case I can purchase Power Pack Medium ($239) instead of Premium (.$370)
Is it possible to call fields from a MySQL Database and an Access Database on the same asp web page? If so, can someone please point me in the direction of a good guide/article/post on how to do this.
I have ASP project uses Access DB .. I need to convert the site into Mysql. But I keep getting some Runtime Error ( Mismatch ) and I don't know what the problem .. Code:
having issues submitting dates to a mysql db, ive converted the database from access to mysql and im having issues submitting dates. this is what i have when submitting to access Code:
Our website is currently developed in ASP/Mysql 4. The dedicated servers on which it is currently hosted arrive at saturation. Here is their configuration: - 1 server PIV 2,8Ghz 1GB RAM with IIS 5 on Windows 2000 - 1 server Bi-xeon 3Ghz, 512 MB with MySQL 4 on Windows 2003 The website makes approximately 10.000.000 of pages seen and 310.000 visits each month (given by an external statistics tool), increasing by 10% each month. The database is approximately 60 MB. I made, I think, most of the optimizations on the database (cache, indexes...). According to our current web hoster, this saturation is due to a bad management of connections between ASP and MySQL and recommends to us: 1/ to put the site on Windows 2003/IIS 6. 2/ to change our database from MySQL to SQL Server. 3/ to change our PIV to a second Bi-xeon.
er...i dont know if this belongs in here, so apologies if it shouldnt...
Im working on a programme in VB6 that allows people to add news to my site. I was just wondering how can you connect to MySQL with VB and how can you add records
i need to compare against the database if the user input the correct username and password otherwise to send the user to another page.. but still lets sign in even if the username and password does not match.. here's an example of my code:
I was having trouble with access because it was far too slow and the site kept crashing as too many people were accessing the database at the same time (servers errors because of the lock file kept cropping up).
So, I converted the Access Database to mySQL, used the connection string:
I am trying to create a website in ASP with a database back-end.
I am ok when using MS Access, but I have recently read articles saying that Access is no good for dealing with multiple users accessing it at the same time, so I am worried that it will not be able to cope.
As an alternative, I am looking at MySQL.
I am completely new to MySQL, and even installing it seemed complex. I have installed it to the directory C:mysql, and using 'mysql front' I have managed to create a database with a few tables.The database is in the 'data' subdirectory along with the mysql database. Code:
I have a not so now small application where I am using an Access database as the backend and ASP. Since the size of the database and the complexity of the app are growing I am looking for a "stronger" database.
I have checked MSSQL but can't afford it, that's why I am thinking to use MySQL instead. Do you have any experience using classic ASP and MySQL, comments, etc.?
I'm working with MySQL both locally and on a live server but empty text (memo) fields error out (Exception) when on PWS but not IIS. -Even if I'm just checking to see if there's a value (if rs("mytxtfield") <> "" then..)
Both are win2k boxes (Pro vs server) with the same drivers (3.51)
I've googled it, but no luck. Has anyone else run into this or is it just me?
However, whenever i run this script, I get the error: [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
I've used the exact same script on MySQL 5, and it works perfectly. So what must I change to make it work on 4.1.21? it's not possible for me to upgrade the MySQL client.
I'm using PHP. So, i want exporting my Data to Word or Excel. However, PHP can't. And i must write one ASP page to do it. and ASP can connecting to mySQL ?
I am using mysql as my database and which to use a datetime field, for both displaying the data and time and using it to sort the recordsets.
And although when you look at the Db it shows the data and time like this
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
however if you simply display the field it displays like this
mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss am (or pm)
I want to sort the data out so that it displays dd/mm/yyyy and there is no time, i can do this but wanted to know if there is a better way of doing it
My problems being I first have to work out if the date is below 10 then us a split function according, then the same with the month, then i have to use a massive if statement, to get it to display in words, and then I have to us the queries before so i can split the year, even if i use to fields in the db to store time and date i would still have the same problems, what is the best way to do this, Plus i may have more than one record to do, will this make a big different in processing my page if i say have 20 records to do.
and just to make sure is the timedate field suitable to sort my record sets out.
I have been using Access and ASP for about one year. I'm getting verty comfortable with this now.
I want to pull some data out of a mySQL database for my ASP pages. It's the database for my PHBBB forum. I'm a bit overwhlemed on where to start. Boy is it difference.
I have made the DB connection and see the tables. As I said it's very different.
Any advice on getting started with mySQL so I can start getting some results?
I m using windows 2003 server, mysql and asp for my web site, I can select, insert, delete data from mysql, but I cannot update, this is the error that I get
Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB status value, if available. No work was done.
