This is a list of handy MySQL commands that I use time and time again. At the bottom are statements, clauses, and functions you can use in MySQL. Below that are PHP and Perl API functions you can use to interface with MySQL. To use those you will need to build PHP with MySQL functionality. To use MySQL with Perl you will need to use a Perl module.
To login (from unix shell) use -h only if needed.
[mysql dir]/bin/mysql -h hostname -u root -p
Create a database on the sql server.
create database [databasename];
List all databases on the sql server.
show databases;
Switch to a database.
use [db name];
To see all the tables in the db.
show tables;
To see database’s field formats.
describe [table name];
To delete a db.
drop database [database name];
To delete a table.
drop table [table name];
Show all data in a table.
SELECT * FROM [table name];
Returns the columns and column information pertaining to the designated table.
show columns from [table name];
Show certain selected rows with the value “whatever”.
SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE [field name] = "whatever";
Show all records containing the name “Bob” AND the phone number ‘3444444′.
SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name = "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444';
Show all records not containing the name “Bob” AND the phone number ‘3444444′ order by the phone_number field.
SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name != "Bob" AND phone_number = '3444444' order by phone_number;
Show all records starting with the letters ‘bob’ AND the phone number ‘3444444′.
SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE name like "Bob%" AND phone_number = '3444444';
Use a regular expression to find records. Use “REGEXP BINARY” to force case-sensitivity. This finds any record beginning with a.
SELECT * FROM [table name] WHERE rec RLIKE "^a$";
Show unique records.
SELECT DISTINCT [column name] FROM [table name];
Show selected records sorted in an ascending (asc) or descending (desc).
SELECT [col1],[col2] FROM [table name] ORDER BY [col2] DESC;
Return number of rows.
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM [table name];
Sum column.
SELECT SUM(*) FROM [table name];
Join tables on common columns.
select lookup.illustrationid, lookup.personid,person.birthday from lookup
left join person on lookup.personid=person.personid=statement to join birthday in person table with primary illustration id;
Switch to the mysql db. Create a new user.
INSERT INTO [table name] (Host,User,Password) VALUES('%','user',PASSWORD('password'));
Change a users password.(from unix shell).
[mysql dir]/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h hostname.blah.org -p password 'new-password'
Change a users password.(from MySQL prompt).
SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('passwordhere');
Allow the user “bob” to connect to the server from localhost using the password “passwd”
grant usage on *.* to bob@localhost identified by 'passwd';
Switch to mysql db.Give user privilages for a db.
INSERT INTO [table name] (Host,Db,User,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv,Create_priv,Drop_priv) VALUES ('%','databasename','username','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','N');
or
grant all privileges on databasename.* to username@localhost;
To update info already in a table.
UPDATE [table name] SET Select_priv = 'Y',Insert_priv = 'Y',Update_priv = 'Y' where [field name] = 'user';
Delete a row(s) from a table.
DELETE from [table name] where [field name] = 'whatever';
Update database permissions/privilages.
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Delete a column.
alter table [table name] drop column [column name];
Add a new column to db.
alter table [table name] add column [new column name] varchar (20);
Change column name.
alter table [table name] change [old column name] [new column name] varchar (50);
Make a unique column so you get no dupes.
alter table [table name] add unique ([column name]);
Make a column bigger.
alter table [table name] modify [column name] VARCHAR(3);
Delete unique from table.
alter table [table name] drop index [colmn name];
Load a CSV file into a table.
LOAD DATA INFILE '/tmp/filename.csv' replace INTO TABLE [table name] FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n' (field1,field2,field3);
Dump all databases for backup. Backup file is sql commands to recreate all db’s.
[mysql dir]/bin/mysqldump -u root -ppassword --opt >/tmp/alldatabases.sql
Dump one database for backup.
[mysql dir]/bin/mysqldump -u username -ppassword --databases databasename >/tmp/databasename.sql
Dump a table from a database.
[mysql dir]/bin/mysqldump -c -u username -ppassword databasename tablename > /tmp/databasename.tablename.sql
Restore database (or database table) from backup.
[mysql dir]/bin/mysql -u username -ppassword databasename < /tmp/databasename.sql
Create Table Example 1.
CREATE TABLE [table name] (firstname VARCHAR(20), middleinitial VARCHAR(3), lastname VARCHAR(35),suffix VARCHAR(3),officeid VARCHAR(10),userid VARCHAR(15),username VARCHAR(8),email VARCHAR(35),phone VARCHAR(25), groups
VARCHAR(15),datestamp DATE,timestamp time,pgpemail VARCHAR(255));
Create Table Example 2.
create table [table name] (personid int(50) not null auto_increment primary key,firstname varchar(35),middlename varchar(50),lastnamevarchar(50) default 'bato');

———————————————————————————————
Back to the message which i highlighted in the conversation, i got a message from him the other day like this:
“I’ve deleted everything from you, your contact information, your email, everything…, don’t ever talk to me or try to contact me again, have a good life”.
And that was it, i didn’t know why he text me like that, so i didn’t talk to him since. but let’s go back to the old day before i had that message from him.
We used to be good friends, we worked in the same place, we lived in the same flat, we shared things in common.
Our hobbies were Linux. at the time he did help me a lot about Linux stuff, in return i helped him with English and other stuff. but let’s not talk about helping story, as friends i really didn’t expect getting anything from friends.
We were good friends for a while. what remind me of him was that he didn’t have any friends except his girlfriend. what i like about him was that he was clever and a bit eccentric, he lived in his own world, he didn’t like to talk to other people. There’s restriction of his own world which tied him indoor. i don’t think he realizes that.
After a while he left his job and moved away, he found a new job, a new place, got a new life. I was glad that he’s happy because he wasn’t happy here the place where i live.
I thought i would have time to visit him one day, unfortunately I’m always busy, I thought I’ll go when things are settled for me. he kept invited me to his new place so we can have a chat, a drink like the old days, i thought about that and i really really wanted to go.
I thought i would go to see him last year but time to go never fit in, there’s always something stopped me. I planned to go, i thought i definitely could go but again, there’s always something came up, i got promoted at work as a manager, i need to work harder, new course arrive, i had to work harder to pay for the study fee, work harder to pay for living, work, work, and work, and number of reasons like that stop me going anywhere.
I cant afford a day or 2 days away to somewhere else, i wish i could have a holiday, i wish i could finish my study so that i could have a proper holiday, i could earn more money, i could go to visit my friends. In my mind i thought to my self that ” Please be patient, you have to stick to what you’re doing, there’s only one year left, you can go to the end of the world if you achieve this very last year, patient and patient…”
I wish my friends, my family could understand me like they could read my mind so that they don’t demand so much from me when i can’t do such things for them while im busy.
back to my old friend there, he said I’m a fucking lier and i don’t want to go to visit him, im so disappointed, so furious.
how can a friend call you a lier while you cant afford time to go to see him? if you don’t trust your friends why have friends?
what do i have to lose when a friend said bullsh*t to me? NOTHING, i have nothing to lose just sorry for your narrow minded.
what is the point of being sulk to a friend? DAFT POINT! Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like that? my friend DO NOT talk to me like that!
Why would i have to tell lie to you? am i getting something out of it if I’m lying to a friend? NO, nothing, pointless.
I’m a straight guy, if i said i cannot go, that mean i cannot go, if i said my name Is Hung that mean it is my name, it’s the truth!
I’ve been away from home for 5 years now and i haven’t been back to my country to visit my family, my friends cus i haven’t had a chance, i would go to morrow if i have a chance. Am i lying to myself that i haven’t been back to my country for 5 years? the fact is i have not!
only people has a narrow minded that cant even think about the obvious facts like that.
I wrote this here not really because i lost my old friend or because i feel sorry about it. NO! I’ve just lost 20 stones, well my friend is that heavy!
I wrote this here for you, whoever read this to open your mind if you think that your friend is lying to you, if you think that your friend can’t give you what you demand.
Everyone has their own reasons to do something.
Finally can you define meaning of friends? if you can’t then i don’t think that you have so many friends and you should find the meaning of it.
To me, the person who understands more about the meaning of “friends” they would have more friends than other person who doesn’t understand much about it.
I lost a friend but i gain the better friends and of course i have many good friends.

This photoshop tutorial will show you how you can create a vector style poster design. Yep, it includes that spiffy “sun ray†element that’s hot right now. So, fire up Photoshop and let’s get started.
The first thing you’ll need to do is get some brushes, and find a good stock picture. Here’s a ZIP file with the brushes you’ll need, as well as the stock picture I used.
Resources
Install the brush files in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS2\Presets\Brushes\Photoshop Only, or wherever your photoshop is installed to.
Open a new document in Photoshop, set the dimensions to 500 x 500. Set your foreground and background colors to #12d60d and #22a61b . Create a new laye, and then select the gradient tool (or hit G), then click the gradient preview on gradient toolbar, and set it to Foreground to Background.


On the new layer, click in the middle of the document, then drag (while holding the mouse, and shift) up to the top of the document, then release.
Now, make a new layer, and set the foreground color to #11860b, and click the brush tool. Load Vector 2 by Physical Magic, and select the first brush. Resize it to 700 or so, and click in on the center of the document. Now your design should look like this.

On the “sun ray†layer, set the layer style to this.

Now you are done with the background design.
Step 2
Next, open up the fist stock image included in the zip file. Extract it from the white background. Once you have a layer with just the first on it, go to Image > Adjustments > Threshold. Then enter 160, and hit ok.
Then, go to Filter > Artistic > Cutout, and enter these setting:
- Number of Levels: 8
- Edge Simplicity: 2
- Edge Fidelity: 2
Now, when you extracted the first, depending on what method you used, you might have some little white pixels randomly in the image. To get rid of these, use the lasso tool / polygon lasso tool to select the first. Give it some padding when you select it, so that you aren’t exactly on the first. Then just right click, select inverse, and hit delete. Now you have a clean extraction, that looks like this.

Step 3
Ok, drag the first layer onto the original document, and resize it to 60-70%, and center it. Now, add this layer style (the stroke is 10px, white; the colors for the gradient are #dcb48a to #dd8e4d.)

Step 4
Make a new layer under the fist layer. Grab the brush tool (or hit B), and then select BRUSHES_01_02, or load the brush set if you haven’t already. Grab a few of the brushes, resize them to around 500, and click in the center of the image. Here’s what I got:

Step 5
Now for the last step. Go to Google, and image search “family crest†or “coat of arms,†and limit the results to just high resolution. Then find an image with a banner that you like, and copy it into photoshop. Loosely cut out the banner, and clone or copy out the text on it, replacing it with your own in whatever font you like. Add a drop shadow to the banner layer, and whatever font styling you want. Here’s what mine looks like:
