Because of a big community and a low cost of MySQL...i think is a very good think if Web Wiz Forum run on MySQL DB....
I know it ask a conversion beacuse of a different func. and command for SQL statement....but i ask to all people that want a support for MySQL to vote here...
WE WOULD THIS FORUM ON MYSQL ? Yes or No ?
P.S. thanks thanks thanks thanks alwais to distribute Web Wiz Forum ...i know your efforts are big....so thanks from me however !

I have suggested this on the features for v.8 thread. However maybe a database abstratcion layer as this will make it easier. The poll would have been better if it was just yes or no  |

this has been talked over and over. but with the ammount of time, differences, its not worth it, as there are plently more abd better PHP forums that run on My SQL. with the time it would take to get a mySQL version up to the current and V8 standards, it would be at least a year or more and thats without developement on existing applications. |

Thank you...

There will not be a mySQL server version, unless a myODBC driver is released that fully supports ADO. At the moment the myOBDC driver lacks so may of the features of ADO that nearly every file would have to be re-written to support mySQL which would also mean the forum engine wouldn't performance as fast and wouldn't be as secure. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

i'm sorry....is not only SELECT and query to insert-modify-delete record to be changed for support mysql ? maybe is my bad english...but i don't understand....if a person want to modify this forum into a MySQL version, what have to change sostantially ?
I would convert Access version in MySQL version...

The Access ODBC driver supports ADO so you can use recordset.update or recordset.delete. myODBC does not or not fully. So if you were to change the current access version to mySQL you would have to update just about every update query and every delete query that wwf uses. That would be quite a few. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

I don't know if this is the only thing that needs changing, this is just the part of ADO. There is a possibility that other things need to be changed as well. Give it a try and see what errors it throws you when you made those changes. Should only be a couple hundred or so, so not too much work... ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Every page that uses ADO to update the database (about 40%) need to be
changed to use SQL update queries, you will also need to add in
security to prevent SQL injections etc. on these pages as ADO usually
handles this. All pages that use recordset paging will also need to be changed and completely re-written to use arrays, etc. instead. This would be quite a few of the forums main pages (about 30% of files). Anything else that is not supported by mySQL and myODBC will also need updating. Queries that use sub queries may also need updating, but later versions of mySQL may support this now. Allot of other queries will need to also be changed as the database used is a relational database and mySQL is not a Relational Database Management System. You may also find allot of other inconsistencies. I did look at making an mySQL version once before but gave up after about 30 to 40 hours as it required a completely different code base which would be to costly to support along side the Access/SQL server version. I estamemted to do it probably would take around 150 hours to complete, not including testing and debugging, and would require almost a total re-write of the forum engine file by file with almost every file needing to be re-written. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Also if you did undertake this, you would only be able to use the code
yourself as the Web Wiz Forums license agreement doesn't allow you to
redistribute the code, even if it is modified. Web Wiz Forums is NOT a GPL license and is not open source free software. There are no planes to additionally support a mySQL version due to the complexities of having support and update 2 different code bases. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I've just checked the latest version of mySQL and it doesn't support
relationships between tables so isn't a Relational Database Management
System (RDMS), but is does now support sub queries. Also it looks like the latest myODBC driver does support ADO updates, or to some extent. If so it should make using mySQL with Web Wiz Forums much simpler, so I may look again into making a mySQL version if the problems of the past have been overcome. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I don't know if I'd call mySQL fully relational. You basically just fake out FK's by referncing foreign columns. Their way of saying it: "It works just fine" does not sound very confident to have robust relationship management, thus I guess it's still better then access..... ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

the most interesting thing is mysql performance and capability for very low price on commercial server...
World community which develop MySQL add day after day new features
Some becnhmark developed by third part speack about mysql as the second DB in terms of speed...
look at this
http://www.mysql.com/it-resources/benchmarks/eweek.html - http://www.mysql.com/it-resources/benchmarks/eweek.html
in this graphic you can see how much better then SQL server is MySQL...SQL server is at last position...(i know is a good db but if this benchmark say true......beh...)
For this and for many others thing that i don't say because of no annoyance someone, i think is good thing make support for this forum
Ah...today i try to use ADO metod for add record....it run perfectly...and also subquery...i can confirm this...

I think you are comparing apples with oranges. Sure under certain circumstances, mySQL can perform better. The advatage though of systems like MS SQL, Oracle and DB2 is that they are actually scalable. Frankly for a little forum DB, mySQL is generally fine.
I do not put any weight into benchmark test from e-week, who I think are just a bunch of laid off Admins, results I trust are i.e. tpc.org, oh wait mySQL does not participate, but yet they provide their own results.
To put this to an end, I am sure mySQL would be a good db for a forum in general and it may even outperform msSQL. Thus for me personally there are some downfalls to be using it for my application development, mostly because of the mySQL Dialect being inferior to T-SQL. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Well I am a third party so am I right no matter what? And like I said the benchmark was done by e-week who stinks.

| If you look at how much 'slimmer' MySQL is compared to MSSQL feature wise there's no wonder it beat it in those benchmarks, but people at MySQL were saying themselves that when they add stored procedures MySQL will be quite a bit slower. |

Lets put it another way.If my bank stores, and probably does, account details on a SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2 database I would be happy.mySQL is fine for small projects and beats Access hands down (Access does suck), but still has a long way to go to take on the big boys in the database world. mySQL being a much smaller lightweight system, with allot of the features of the bigger database systems missing, can for smaller projects out perform the bigger databases systems. I'm not saying never use mySQL as it does have it's place, and in the PHP world it is in common use as they work well together. However, when using ASP or ASP.NET most people tend to use MS SQL Server as they tend to work better together than using mySQL. If web wiz forums was written in PHP then I would have mySQL as the primary database system. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

In the eWeek tests that are mentioned I see that they only tested the databases with 1 application. This isn't a very good way of testing, they should have used a much wider range of applications and then taken the average. The Nile application they used may have been optimised for mySQL. The test they done could be like testing an Athlon and against a Pentium but only test with video encoding. We all know that Athlons out perform Pentiums, but not when it comes to video encoding where the Pentium would out perform the Athlon. A more fair test, and more accurate, would be to run the tests against a wider range of applications, and taking the average. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

At the moment there won't be an mySQL version, but once I finsh
writting the performance improvments for the forum engine, I will look
at mySQL and if things have moved on eenough with mySQL that I can make
mySQL work with web wiz forums without altering the code to much I will
put in support for mySQL.

Could you then please tell me if the myODBC driver new supports things like updating using ADO? What I am asking is, what are the main things that course incompatibility problems? I know that the myODBC driver does support more parts of ADO since I last looked at it about 18 months ago. If it is now at a stage where web wiz forums can now support mySQL without to many changes to the main code base then it is something that I will look into adding support for. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

In some cases, ado-recordsets updates are supported ... but, I have changed almost every insert/update to real SQL-queries instead of using ado-recordset updates.
I'm not that "found of" ado-recordset updates, and have never been. I think the SQL-query updates/inserts is a much bettar approach ... ok, it is more open for SQL-injections than a recordset update.
Even ... it is not that much work to change Your code inteo "straight sql-inserts/updates". It has taken me about 8 hrs or soo ... not that much work as I thought it would take from the beginning (I had set a 50 hr limit)

mySQL not being able to handle ADO updates is where the problem lies with making Web Wiz Forums support mySQL. It's not just the added security for things like SQL injections that ADO updates are used, but also for stability reasons. Because Web Wiz Forums is used on may different servers in many different locales I find that by using SQL updates instead of ADO that you run into compatibility problems with dates and times. ADO updates are also used so that ID numbers and requires can be done to get any updated data. Because of these reasons, as ADO updates are still NOT fully supported for mySQL, I will not be looking at making a version for mySQL. The biggest reason being that I can make the forum more stable using ADO thus saving me 1000's of hours of support. Thnaks for looking into it for me. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I use almost ALL of Your recordsets to get "new" updated data .... I just don't use the .Update method of the recordset, instead I have created new queries and uses the adoCon.Execute queryName,,128 and then, You use the .Requery wich I also make use of to get the updated data 
An example of how it can looks like:

Sometimes it does, sometimes it don't.
It depends ON how You are using the created recordset.
In this forum, the recordset is usally used several times before the actual .Update recordset function is run.
When I (my testers) are done and we have released the forum to the public, on our site, I will post a link to the actual forum. Unfortunatelly it is in Swedish and will be runned on a forum with approx 3 - 4000 unique IP-numbers per day
, approx >200 posts per day (today, the active forums database is holding about 110 000 posts).Several bugs have been found today and fixed ... many functions to go through.
Keep You updated on the progress

SO.....
you say the conversion take about 8 Hrs.....
technically which are the changes that we need to bring ? We have only to change SQL select string ?
|
Posted By: The WizeGuy
Date Posted: 17 April 2005 at 8:09am

it took me about 8 hrs to add sql-inserts/updates and execute them through the connection-object instead. And, to get the Paging to work You have to add the recordset-property: .CursorLocation = 3 to every recordset that is Using paging or .Recordcount ...
MySQL Drivers NEED! to have a Client Side Cursor (.CursorLocation = 3)
I have now put in a couple of more hrs due to a couple of bugs that my testers has found .... but, now it seems to be pretty stable with MySQL. As soon it is stable for atleast a weeks testing and no new bugs are found under that period I will tune it to perform better.
Actually, it performs pretty good on my home-server and with a database that contains about 100k of threads, about 50 meg in size .... no Indexes, except Primary keys, are added to the database.
To add new indexes I think I can get the forum to perform about 2 - 400% better

Posted By: RAVALON
Date Posted: 17 April 2005 at 10:00am

ok....so we have to change sql-inserts/updates query only.... and change CursorLocation to value 3 for use paging property....
Which tool used for covnersion of table? I use DBManager Pro ....wonderful tool ...
maybe all this information could be useful for to make MySQL official conversion...
if it take no more of a week i think BORG could make an official conversion of this forum...so all people can use it without copyright problem...
Another thing TheWizeGuy....You say you think to add new indexes....what about ? You want to say add new indexes or you have to adjust indexes already exsisting ?
|
Posted By: The WizeGuy
Date Posted: 17 April 2005 at 5:19pm

I used MS Access to export all tabels with ODBC and the MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver.
Another thing to change is all TOP 1 to LIMIT 0,1 ... MySQL don't understand the SQL-command TOP ...
I don't have any existing indexes in the database except for PrimaryKeys....so to get best performence from ANY database adding "relevant" indexes that matches the queries is a MUST! ... if there are any "performence issues"
 About the "official conversion" ... thats up to -boRg- ... I have My version already in production very, very soon
 ....Will work in Netherlands this next coming week and then in Finland the week after that .... so, in 2 weeks it should be up and running at http://www.vasterviksbk.nu - http://www.vasterviksbk.nu . One of Swedens largest sites about dogs (#2). We have had about 40k users the last 8 days ....

Why do you keep asking Ravlon, he does not even have a time frame for V8 at this point as he said he will finish first. So after that it may take some time to rewrite the queries so you may be looking at
"Don't know yet" + 3 weeks = "Still don't know yet"

Noone ever said you cannot develop it for yourself. You just could not re-distribute it. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

mysql became every day more powerful.....BORG said he will look for a conversion not first end of the year..... so i think he could take in consideration the last version of MySQL
We have to wait or develop ourself for personal use....
i start from a week to develop a MySQL conversion...is not difficult....the problem is make compatible tabels in MySQL....and import data from Access...
