MySQL is the most popular open source relational database system.

It is suitable for
small to large web applications and is widely used. It can interface with PHP, Java, C,
and Perl. It is available for free under the GNU public license.

Setting up MySQL on Windows:

At http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html scroll down to Windows, and

download the Windows essentials package (current version 4.1.7).

Once the file is done downloading, execute it to begin the installation.

Select Typical and then press next.

Now press install.

Select skip signup and then click next.

Make sure configure MySQL server is checked, and press finish.

Select detailed configuration and click next.

Select developer machine and click next.

Select multifunctional database and click next.

Leave these settings the same and click next.

Select manual setting and change the number of connections to 5.

Leave Enable TCP/IP checked and click next.

Leave standard character set selected and click next.

You can choose to install MySQL as a service if you expect to use it frequently. However,
if you do not want MySQL running all the time, uncheck 'install as service'. You can
initially install as service and then disable that later using: control panel>admin
tools>services > stop
Set a root password and check 'Root may only connect from localhost'.

Finally, press execute to make the changes.

And you’re done!

Interfacing with MySQL

We will illustrate several ways to interface with a MySQL database:

1. Java Server Pages and Tomcat server

2. Dos command prompt
3. MySQL GUI tool.

To access the database from java, we first need to install the appropriate Java driver.

Installing MySQL Java Driver

After the MySQL installation is finished, you need to get the appropriate JDBC
driver to enable a Java or JSP program to communicate with a MySQL database. The
official JDBC driver for MySQL is MySQL Connector/J. You should already have
Tomcat up and running before you do the next step. Go to
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.0.html and click on the zip file to
download it. Once downloaded, unzip it and locate the jar file:

.
mysql - connector - java-3.0 .15-ga-bin. jar

Copy the jar file to:

C:\Program Files\java\jre_version\lib\ext
and paste it in that directory. A jar file is a type of compressed Java library that is directly
useable by a Java compiler. So that the compiler knows where to locate the jar file, you
should add a new entry to the CLASSPATH system environment variable (under control
panel>system>advanced) identifying the location of the jar file. After doing this, my own
CLASSPATH became:

c:\j2sdk1.4.0\fre\lib\rt.jar;.;c:\program files\apache tomcat

4.0\common\lib\servlet.jar;"C:\Program
Files\Java\j2re1.4.0\lib\ext\QTJava.zip";C:\myjspapp\;C:\jdom\build\jdom.jar;C:\
Program Files\java\jre_version\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.0.15-ga-
bin.jar

The blue text represents the added entry in the CLASSPATH because that was where I
happened to store my copy of the needed jar file; the earlier entries were already in my
CLASSPATH variable but yours will likely be different. Be sure to include the semi-
colon separator before adding the new entry. If everything has been done properly, you
should now be able to use JSP and MySQL together via a server like Tomcat.

Testing Access to MySQL from Tomcat

To test to see if everything is working, try the following JSP program which was
stored on my system at: c:/myjspapp/chapter11/testMySQL01.jsp. This program accesses
a sample database called "mysql" that comes with the installation. It also uses the user
name "root" and the password (in my case "it202") that I used when I installed MySQL
on my system.

<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>

<%
Connection ocon = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
ocon = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/mysq l " , root",
"
"it202");
Statement stmtt = ocon.createStatement();

ResultSet rc = stmtt.executeQuery("Select count(*) from user");

rc.next();
out.println("Total Records : " + rc.getInt(1) + "<br>");

if (rs !=null) rs.close();

if (ocon !=null) ocon.close();
if (stmtt !=null) stmtt.close();
%>

Run the JSP using Tomcat with the url:

http://localhost:8080/myapp/chapter11/testMySQL01.jsp
This requires both Apache Tomcat to be started as well as the MySQL database server (!)
The latter can be started via the Services feature under the Admin Tool: Control panel >
Admin > Services> MySQL start.

Refer to such as http://lococo.sch.ac.kr/jclass/notes/jdbc/basics/concept.html for the

database url syntax in getConnection for MySQL since it is different than that for the
ODBC style data source name. In particular see the remarks on the odbc subprotocol.
The MySQL environment does not require the data source name convention we have
used in other JSP examples which used the odbc subprotocol.

The JSP example uses the embedded SQL query:

Select count (*) from user

to return the number of rows in the user table (of the mysql database provided with the
installation). If everything has been set up properly you should see something like:

Total Records: 2

Another sample database called test also comes with the installation. We access test
using the command line interface that is commonly used to interface with MySQL. You
could modify the JSP program to access the test database instead.

Interfacing with MySQL from Dos Prompt

To connect to MySQL server:

Just as in the JSP example, you must first have already started the MySQL server
(via control panel > admin > service s> MySQL start), although now you will not need
the Tomcat server. To manually connect to MySQL open up the command prompt: click
on start, run, type cmd, and press enter to open the command prompt. You can then
navigate in the command prompt to the MySQL directory where the needed program is
stored via the dos change directory command cd:

Then execute:

mysql –uUSERNAME –pPASSWORD –hHOST

which in my case is:

 mysql –uroot –hlocalhost –pit202

(Don't paste these commands from Word ! Enter directly in Dos prompt.) The arguments
after the mysql command (which is just an executable program) are called options. You
can write them in several ways, for example as: -hlocalhost (as shown), or as –h
localhost, or even as --host=localhost (with two dashes and an equal sign this is called the
long form), but the password option pPassword must have no space between the p and
the password. You can also also use the form:

mysql –uroot –hlocalhost –p

with the password omitted, in which case the system prompts you for the password and
echoes what you type as asterisks, for security. The username and password are those
that you initially specified when you initially installed MySQL. You can change the
password using a somewhat complex method described later.
Once this is executed, you will be at the mysql> prompt. This prompt is the basis
for your direct interaction with MySQL.

SQL commands in mysql

The following section illustrates the use of SQL commands in the MySQL
context. All the commands are understood by the MySQL system since it is by design an
SQL database environment. Each command ends with a semi-colon.

The first command show databases lists current databases. In this case, these are
the databases that came with the installation package:

mysql> show databases;

+----------+
| Database |
+----------+
| mysql |
| test |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

The dos output is set up using vertical and horizontal dashes ( |'s, -'s and +'s) to look
approximately like a rectangular grid for a table, with the title at the top row and the
contents in the lower row.

The database called mysql holds various MySQL settings and users.
To examine this particular database, use the command:

use mysql ;

The reply should be the message Database Changed. Once you are manually connected
to this specific database, you can view and manipulate its data.
 To see what tables mysql contains, use the command: show tables. This will
display a list of its tables like the following (or an extended list):
mysql> show tables;
+-----------------+
| Tables_in_mysql |
+-----------------+
| columns_priv |
| db |
| func |
| host |
| tables_priv |
| user |
+-----------------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

To display the attributes of a particular table and their properties, use the desc
tablename command. For example, desc user for the user table in the mysql database
results in a list like (though in my newer installation version its actually longer, with 31
rows of attributes):
mysql> desc user;
+-----------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Host | char(60) binary | | PRI | | |
| User | char(16) binary | | PRI | | |
| Password | char(16) binary | | | | |
| Select_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Insert_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Update_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Delete_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Create_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Drop_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Reload_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Shutdown_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Process_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| File_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Grant_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| References_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Index_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
| Alter_priv | enum('N','Y') | | |N | |
+-----------------+-----------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
17 rows in set (0.36 sec)

Notice that in this case the attributes host and user are keys, so that their combi ation is
expected to uniquely identify a record (row). The desc output is useful, for example,
when entering data into a table because it shows the order of the columns or attributes
which is required for inserting data correctly using the insert command.

To see the actual data contents of a table use the SQL command select * from
tablename. Try this for the user table in the mysql database.
Note on DOS-Prompt Display
The table is displayed in the dos window. If the dos window buffer properties
and/or window size properties are not large enough for the display, it gets wrapped
around in the window. This is readable but not terribly user-friendly. To fix the display,
you may want to alter the properties of the dos prompt to accommodate the size of the
displayed contents. (Right-click on the title bar of the prompt, then left-click on
properties and select layout tab. Then change the buffer size settings.) For example, in
the present instance, the user table is quite wide, so I altered the size of the buffer to 500
(and the window to 200). Part of the display is as shown below:
mysql> select * from user;
+-----------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+------------+-
| Host | User | Password | Select_priv
-------------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+------------+-
| localhost | root | *D6AD0960FA1AB590BA249A2F6662EC3918B1D71B | Y |
+-----------+------+---------------------------------------------------------------------+------------+-
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The page is far too narrow to show the entire row, so only the first four properties are
shown. Of course, you can also leave the dos-prompt properties alone and accept the
display as shown there in the default window size setting. It will display the first row of
table attribute names over several successive lines, and then show the next row of
corresponding values over several additional lines of output. The graphical interface tool
for interacting with MySQL that we will describe shortly displays such tables more
clearly.

To add an entry or row to a table use the SQL insert command which has the
format:
insert into tableName values ("value1", "value3", etc );

For a password attribute, enter the value as: Password ("value") which causes the value to
be encrypted by the Password function before insertion into the database. For example,
to add an entry to the user table with user bert on Host localhost, and the password hello,
the (somewhat cumbersome) command is:

insert into user values ("localhost", "bert", Password("hello"), "N","N", "N", "N",
"N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N","N", "N", "N", "N", "N",
"N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N", "N");

At least in my Windows XP environment, the data values in the dos prompt had to be
entered with double quotes – though in a JSP program context they would have been
enclosed in single quotes as is usual in SQL syntax. If you thereafter display the updated
contents of the table, the first three values for the newly added entry will be:

localhost | newGuy | *881C3310FC1CDF54613539F0F01BAAB645099D3F

Observe that the host and user were entered without modification. The password is
scrambled or encrypted. The values for the bert 's privileges are all N, denying any
privileges.

The replace command is used to update a row in a database. The keys user and
host uniquely identify the record whose values are to be changed. SQL query is:

replace into tableName values ("value1", Password("value2 "), etc );

In the current example, the replace SQL for the table user is:

replace into user values("localhost", "bert", Password("hello"), "Y","Y", "Y",

"Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y","Y", "Y", "Y", "Y",
"Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y", "Y");

which changes all of the N's to Y's granting bert full privileges to the MySQL system.
Importantly, for these changes to take effect, you must also execute the command:

flush privileges

The command to delete a row from a table requires the name of the table and a
where condition that specifies a the row(s) to be deleted:

delete from tableName where Where-condition

Warning: If you omit the Where-condition then all the rows in the table will be deleted.
In the current example, the values of the attributes user and host are keys that together
uniquely identify a row thereby selecting one row for deletion such as in:

delete from user where user = 'newGuy' and host = 'localhost'

The examples we considered so far used pre-existing databases that came with the
installation package. To create new MySQL databases, use the SQL command:

create database databaseName ;

For example, do: create database Person. You can verify that the database was created
using show databases command.

mysql> show databases;

+------------+
| Database |
+------------+
| menagerie |
| mysql |
 | person |
| test |
+------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

To delete a database use the SQL command: drop database databaseName. Be

forewarned that this will remove a populated database without asking the user for any
confirmation.

The SQL syntax to create a table is illustrated by the following example. Before
using the command, make sure to identify the database being used with the command:
use Person. The command creates a table with attributes: id, username, password, name,
and email.
mysql> create tab lePerson
( id int(5) not null auto_increment,
username varchar(20) binary not null,
password varchar(20) binary not null,
name varchar(20) not null,
email varchar(30) not null,
primary key(id)
);

The general form of the syntax is:

create table tableName ( col1Name datatype otherSettings, etc)

The type for each attribute is prescribed, along with a possible length in input characters.
All the values are required (none of them can be 'null'). The id attribute is automatically
incremented each time a person is entered. The type varchar is alphanumeric. The
binary representation has the effect of making it case-sensitive. Note that the name and
email attributes are not binary and so are not case-sensitive. The id is established as the
primary key for the table, uniquely identifying each row of the table.
mysql> desc Person;
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(5) | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| username | varchar(20) | | | | |
| password | varchar(20) | | | | |
| name | varchar(20) | | | | |
| email | varchar(30) | | | | |
+----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
5 rows in set (0.01 sec)

You can use the insert command to insert data in the table. For example:

mysql> insert into Person values

(null, 'murph', 'magic7', 'Tom Murphy', 'tomM@njit.edu');
 insert into Person values
(null, 'lou', 'havanian', 'Louie Mack, 'lou@cincy.com');

Since the id attribute is auto-incrementing, use a null for the data entry. (A null value is
indicated with the reserved word null; this is not the same as a blank entry such as " " –
which is not null but a blank.) The id attribute then starts at 1 and increments by 1 with
each insertion of a new row. You can verify the content of the newly populated table with
the SQL command: mysq l> se lec t * f rom Pe rson .

mysql> select * from Person;

+----+----------+----------+------------+---------------+
| id | username | password | name | email |
+----+----------+----------+------------+---------------+
| 1 | murph | magic7 | Tom Murphy | tomM@njit.edu |
| 2 | lou | havanian | Louie Mack | lou@cincy.com |
+----+----------+----------+------------+---------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

To remove a table use the command: drop table tableName.

How to Reset the root password

This process is only done after the service is started (contrary to what is said in
the MySQLQueryBrowser documentation) and uses double quotes not single quotes (also
contrary to what is said in the MySQLQueryBrowser documentation).

1. First, connect to the MySQL server with the original password you established:

>mysql -uroot -hlocalhost -pOriginalPassword

2. Then execute the following command with the new password as shown:

mysql> update mysql.user set password=PASSWORD("it202") where user =

"root";

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)

Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0

3. The new password does not become effective until the following command is
executed:

mysql> flush privileges;

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

Note: The example given earlier for insert and replace command applied to the user table
of the mysql database shows how to change both the user name and the password.

GUI Tool for MySQL

MySQL is frequently interfaces with from the command prompt rather than a GUI
interface as is available for MS Access, but there are also recent graphical interface tools
for MySQL. We will use the MySQLQueryBrowser which you can download from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads (under the Graphical Clients list). Execute
MySQLQueryBrowser.exe, or pin to the start menu, or make a shortcut. When its
window opens, fill in the password field: leave the root user name alone and leave the
first field alone (clear). Refer to the Help > online docs > MySQL Tutorial (item 3) and
section 8.3.3 for SQL commands.

The following is a very simple overview of the tool capabilities. You can explore
the tool to determine other features. The elements of the interface include:
1. Schemata window.
2. Syntax window.
3. SQL command window.
4. ResultSet tabbed windows.
5. Function tab window.

The right side of the window contains two sub-windows: a Schemata window that
lists the available databases and a window with icons for the syntax of SQL commands
grouped by category. The mysql database is the default database that appears in the
Schemata sub-window; open a different database by lift-clicking on its icon in the
window. To get the syntax for an SQL command, left-click one of the icons for groups of
commands in the Syntax window. This opens a corresponding inline help document
section in the main sub-window which can be closed (x) once read. This window (lower
right of screen) also contains a tab for built-in Functions.
You can issue SQL commands in the sub-window at the top of the screen. For
example, if you type "use person" and execute it (by clicking the lightning icon to the
right of the top sub-window), then enter and execute "desc person", the list of the tables
and their properties in the person database appears in the main window. You can move
back and forth in the main window and refresh its contents with the buttons on the top
left. The data retrieved by a select command displays a table whose content can be edited
(see the edit button at bottom of screen).

mysql> SELECT VERSION();

mysql> SELECT USER();
mysql> SELECT CURRENT_USER();
Sample Java Servelets and MySQL

See also: http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/java/Servlet-Tutorial/ for JSP and servlets tutorial.

This guestbook example is from O'Reilly.com modified by Ubaldi.

First we need to create the database.

Connect to MySQL and enter the following:

create database GUESTBOOK;

use GUESTBOOK;

create table comments (comment_id int primary key not null

auto_increment, name varchar(40) not null, date varchar(30), comment
varchar(255));

OK – now we’re ready to move onto the JSP:
