Can someone look at those headers and figure out where the mail came
from? It seems like it traveled a perfectly legitimate path, but I
cannot really see where it came from before hitting parrot.gentoo.org
(shell account?).

And just so everyone knows, this cannot be from my system. I only run one
Win2k desktop, and I keep the thing pretty clean. This has to be someone else
on this list infected and using my name from their address book :P

Well, it seems I've gotten a few of the same sorts of emails from both
Kumba and Gustavoz...except the ones from Gustavoz came directly instead
of going through hte listserv.
From the header:
from cpe.atm4-0-1331216.0x50a3651a.arcnxx8.customer.tele.dk
([80.163.101.26] helo=G5MJM0J.net) by smtp.gentoo.org with smtp (Exim
4.41) id 1COzAV-0007ME-C5 for geoman@gentoo.org; Tue, 02 Nov 2004
13:57:53 +0000
So, who the hell is in Denmark, with me, gustavoz, gentoo-mips@,
gentoo-dev@, and kumba in their their address book that runs windows?

I can only second that request.
Anyone who sends those attachments by intention deserves being burn

Would be a great idea since normal no-text-attachements are quiet big

You might want to make
Code listing 4.19: Finding our guest user in the user table
a little narrower, as it makes the page much wider than my 1,280 pixel wide
screen can show.
I would suggest
SELECT Host, User, Password FROM user WHERE User = 'guest';
rather than
SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'guest';
which will make the output much, much smaller. You might want to mention the
other query in passing for the user to try on their own, however.

Sorry for posting twice, but
Code listing 4.11: REVOKE format
is incorrect. It probably should say
REVOKE [privleges] ON database.* FROM '[user]'@'[host]';
rather than
PRIVLEGES [privleges] ON database.* FROM '[user]'@'[host]';

one reminder:
"Code listing 1.3: MySQL configuration" probably will change for
mysql-4.1 and better (when unmasked)
and having the possibility to scroll the screen,
"Code listing 4.19: Finding our guest user in the user table"
mysql> SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'guest';
may become
"Code listing 4.19: Finding our guest user in the user table"
mysql> SELECT * FROM user WHERE User = 'guest' \G
to make it more readable. See J.M. email too
the default my.cnf has the following line
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
that actually restrict the server access to local machine only. You
may want to signal this in the "Granting Privleges with GRANT" section.
Last but not last, thankyou -> nice intro document

As someone who has never used MySQL, but might want to in future,
your help doc looks very useful: thanks for your efforts.
It does need running thro' a spell-checker & a careful proof-reading,
which is always easier for someone else than for the author himself.
Someone has already pointed out that it's 'Structured', not 'Standard'.
under '[code list] 1.4', why do we need a root password ?
are you not setting this up as a user ? eg if I use MySQL,
it will be to manage a large database of urban transit information,
which I will do entirely inside my desktop machine
with no access to other users or to the Internet [ok: I see Sect 4 below];
at the beginning of Sect 2 , you have 'promt';
below '2.1', you don't explain what database 'mysql' is for;
below '2.3', "let's us know" sb [should be] "lets us know";
under 'Creating the tables', it looks very much like a spreadsheet:
perhaps you could point out the parallels;
can you import data directly from a spreadsheet like Open Calc ?
below '3.2', "most simplistic" sb "simplest" or "most straightforward";
under '3.6', you should explain that you are using 'insert into'
to insert a new record (if that's what it does), not arbitrary data;
under '3.7', "seperated" sb "separated" (other instances below):
it's a trap for anyone who missed out on Latin at school (smile);
under '3.10', you need to expand your explanation:
"if you paste information <into your infile>";
under '3.11', "comprimised" sb "compromised":
3.11-12 looks a bit out of place: perhaps move it below with a cross-ref ?
under '3.14', why do the columns not line up in your examples ?
is this a deficiency in MySQL or a result of your desktop set-up ?
under '3.16', "priveleges" & "privleges" sb "privileges":
this recurs several times below (grimace);
at the beginning of Sect 4 , the point about root versus users is explained:
this sb mentioned briefly right at the top in Sect 1 ;
under '4.3', i would write "quitting", but perhaps US-speak is "quiting";
under '4.8', is "admin" the same as "root" ? -- this needs explanation.
I've skipped over all the stuff about user privileges,
as it looks as if my own usage would be as "root" in the MySQL sense (above).
One final point you don't mention: is there a GUI front-end for MySQL ?
I'm sure there is, so which one(s) do you recommend ?
For myself, I'm happy to use CLI where it's simplest,
but it looks as if a GUI would save a lot of typing injuries here.
HTH : it's meant to be picky (smile).
Your doc looks very helpful, but needs a bit of polishing & expansion.

Yah, I know, the docs-team makes fun of me daily for it ;p.

Not sure if I quite understand this corectly. Most spredsheet programs save to comma seperated files, which MySQL file loading requires tab seperated files.

Twice in one paragraph, nice ;p

Actually, it's a root mysql account, not the system root, I made a note about that.

Adding a section on that right now... I'll post the new updated page in just a bit.

Sure, sure, just take away my freedom!!! ;)

Added a bazillion spell fixes, also a list of places to find GUI frontends for MySQL:
Thanks goes to my mom, my dad, my family for all their support
I'd also like to thank the academy for their hard effort
Philip Webb for tolerating my odd grammar/spelling/logic
Bruce Wolk for the same
And most importantly, I'd like to thank the fine folks at Speedy's dinner!

As ditto, it's still not corrected 050713 1132 EST.

"The configuration recommends that you change your root password
as soon as possible".
This remains very misleading to a novice: you need to add a sentence eg
"Note: your MySQL 'root' password is not the same as your system 'root':
it refers to the administrator of your MySQL installation,
not the admin of your whole system."

with both, the cells/equivalent can be formatted.
Is there a way to copy data between eg OO Calc & MySQL similarly ?

Not yet in your public version.

Sorry, my mistake: I was misled by the variable-spaced font in Firefox.

Excellent ! This looks like a really useful doc.
