MySQL

MySQL is the best database we know. That's what we use.

Survival kit

SHOW databases;

is may be the most important command. It shows you what's in store.

Create a user

CREATE USER 'laussy' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypass';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'laussy';

Import a database

From the command line:

mysql -u laussy -p wikilaussy < wikilaussy-24-jan-10.sql

to import the database data (wikilaussy-24-jan-10.sql, a readable file with very long lines) into the database structure (named wikilaussy) above.

Change password

See [1]:

Stop the MySQL Server.

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop

If this does not work, try "mysql stop/waiting" instead~[2]

Start the mysqld configuration.

sudo mysqld --skip-grant-tables &

Login to MySQL as root.

mysql -u root mysql

Replace YOURNEWPASSWORD with your new password!

UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YOURNEWPASSWORD') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit;
