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.
I'm as the topic notes, having some problems with recieveing decimal values from my database(MySQL). I'm pretty sure its a simple misstake, but since im pretty new to asp-syntaxes, I dont get it.
What I have is a table with a float(30,30) (yes, 30 decimals, its an experiment so I wanto "be safe"). I can take a variable, fill it with a jibberish numeric value say 1.111111111111 and write it in, works like a charm if I check the database manualy, however, I cant get it out!
Whenever I read from that database and into a value, I only get the first 5 decimals and the rest is left out, even if I display the database-value directly I cant get it to work!
If I do response.write MyResult("value") it still displays 1.11111 even if the actual value in the database is 1.1111111111->etc.
I'm coming to the conclusion it isn't possible, because I can't find any reference to it anywhere on the web after a good deal of searching. Let me explain my position, I'm writing an admin area which will access and update a large MySQL database. When the asp code runs the update (about once a week), there will be a high potential for things to go wrong, and as a precautionary measure I wanted to perform a database backup before it ran the database updates. What I wanted to do was similar to the PHPMYADMIN "Export" function, but in ASP, and save the file on the server for me to download at a later date if needed. If I could create the file, I figured that I could save it to a directory with write priveledges on the server using FSO. The problem is actually creating a dump of the structure of all of the tables using an ASP script. I have no idea how PHPMYADMIN manages to do it, but I don't know any PHP whatsoever, and I would far prefer to make it work automatically through the admin area I am scripting in ASP. All the references I could find in the MySQL manual were to creating the backup using telnet access, which we don't have at my host for security reasons, so I wondered if anyone else had come accross this problem before and had a possible solution that could help me [], or whether anyone can say that it definitely is not possible.
is there anyone i can pay (that has time) to help redo a few asp scripts that are present set to use a mysql database, to use a ms sql database instead?I can give you a nice amount asp jobs if interested.
My database is being converted from Access to MySQL. My question is how do I maintain the database once the switch has taken place? Are there freeware MySQL administration GUI's or something? I'm a little clueless here.
My hosting account gives me a lot of MySQL databases but I usually just stick with MS SQL Server because it gives me fewer troubles.Now I want to challenge MySQL again. I use connString "DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver}; SERVER=myserver; DATABASE=mybase; UID=myID;PASSWORD=myPwd; OPTION=3"
And the conn and recordset objects connects smoothly with the database. I can even get the things i want out of it. But every time I try to update the database such as:
I used to have a tutorial that showed you how to create an excel spreadsheet and them show you the asp that allowed you to upload it to a mysql database, now I will be dambed if I can find it or anything as good.
I re-installed MySQL 4.1 since 5.0 wouldn't work together with MyODBC 3.51.. So now I'm back to square one..
Conn.Execute("SELECT * FROM pictures WHERE pid NOT IN (SELECT pic FROM votes WHERE uid = '" & strUserId & "')")
Gave me syntax error..I also changed SELECT pic to SELECT pid, since thats the right fieldname.. I'm thinking that it might not be possible yet to make that kind of sub-call.. Is there a way to do it in some form of function?!? Basicly,what I want is that you'll always see a picture u never voted for before...
How do I take all the data in a database in range from 01-01-01 00:00:00 to 01-02-01 00:00:00 i have a column with dates+time in it, and i only need to take some data from a specific timerange Is it something like this:
Select * FROM table where Date = "01-01-01 00:00:00 " to "01-02-01 00:00:00"
Is it possible to page a longtext field? I want to be able to input a tag to seperate pages and only call the section of the longtext field that's in between those tags. For example, when I post something I'd write a variable into the code like "age2:" and then when I call the field in sql it would display everything BEFORE the age2: variable on the first page and everything after it on the second page. Is it possible to do something like this? I was also considering only calling a certain ammount of characters in sql but I want to call entire paragraphs. Would I be able to call 1000 characters and include the entire paragraph, even if it's over 1000 characters?
