OT: Excel to MySQL @ Low / no cost

I am a small, zero budget, small business owner who needs to know how to convert Excel files into MySQL files that I can download on my host. We have more than 2000 items of product that we publish on our online store. Some of the data is already in SQL, things like article number, description, dimensions and price. Excel does a conscientious job of importing these files. But I need to add to the SQL table that provides my point of sale software, the name of 'photo' for example. Other things that I need to be created in a new table, as the "long description" and "number of long description. (Many articles get the same long description.)

I can't be the first person who have faced this problem, so I throw it out there. Help, please.

Background: I'm a programmer of old school (think punch cards and FORTRAN) that learned Dreamweaver CS3 of 'no experience' and built a website for 50-some page in less than two weeks. I also know of relational databases quite well. But being away from computers for so long, a lot of slang is lost on me. Feel free to challenge me, but don't assume that I know that the words you know.

PS: A mentor is QUITE welcome. Volunteers?

Hi, people. Thanks again for bearing with me. I wanted to just summarize my successes and failures.

I definitely had the right approach, at least for me. I know than Excel, its functions and VBasic pretty well, so I was right when I said "if I string together enough CONCATENATE (s), IF (s), ISNUMBER (s) and ISTEXT () s together, I should get a statement for each row in the inventory table. A loop up to what I was with all the easy fields emissions real. Once again, for me, it worked, because I did some "heavy lifting" in before VBasic. In about 15 minutes, I had all the instructions INSERT MySQL that I needed in a text file.

The declaration (on the side of CREATING the text file) also took another 15 minutes. All in all I would have had a valid statement of MySQL text file in about 30 minutes, which should create the database. Simple enough for 2057 records with eleven fields, that much I had to start from scratch. (God bless the guy who invented the "copy and paste"!)

Note I said if.

It took me 4 days to understand that, on the side of the statement, SQL quotes aren't really quotes at all, but the key under the key on the keyboard. Four days to go back from w3schools, other sites, my books, Dreamweaver Help menu and my text file, and, finally, I got the right part. (It's actually a very important point.) If anyone has a traction at w3schools, you might want to suggest that this say specifically in their tutorial. I finally found the solution to my problem in the comments of the users below the documentation on MySQL.com. The universal user comment is that it is not properly explained anywhere.) But it still doesn't work.

Stunned that my SQL statements still cannot create a valid database, it took me another 4 days to understand that converts word all CITES in the "quotes" as soon as the document is loaded. They are distinguished by standard quotes that they visually "lean in" the text quoted and have a different value of the ASCII character associated with it. Orders INSERT need good quotes old, regular, smooth. (This means they touch next to the key on your keyboard.) WordPad gave me single quotes. Edit > replace in Wordpad converted all my quotes start and end in single quotes in less than 30 seconds. I figured this out quite by chance, one of my desperate attempts to understand what I was doing wrong. The key is, when you create a declaration file of MySQL ENTRY to a text file generated IMPORT file to load into a new table, do not let the file word touch. Use a mute, but not the text editor clear and simple, more stupid you can find. (Notebook, apparently does not include carriage returns in the way is easy to change.)

In short, I had reason to trust what I know, because that saved me months of time. But this does not mean that I had no problems. Overall, my lack of knowledge in MySQL cost me 4 days, and my expertise "Typist" in Word cost me another 4 days. Overall, not bad, and since I had to redo several times since then to create more than seven tables in my database, my new-found expertise allows me to save months of work.

The 'Caveat Emptor' is of course. I used what I know to adapt to my situation. If you are not savvy with Excel functions or VBasic, this probably isn't your solution. (If you're confused about her CONCATENATE (s), IF (s), ISNUMBER (s) and ISTEXT (s) part of this discussion, you aren't a candidate for this solution.) You should know what you know and do not know before trying this. Back in the days of TQM, they called this 'take a personal inventory.'

My last problem that deals with "AUTO_INCREMENT" in MySQL and how folder Assistant Dreamweaver to insert a form (which, from what I can tell based on my tutorial and examples, works perfectly) does not work with the MySQL file I created. This happens in a two-week adventure, but I'm not quite at the point of poster a problem still because I really think that this is caused by something I know I should have done, but didn't. Help is of course necessary, but frankly, I'm not to the point of knowledge what my problem is.

Anyway, thanks to you all once again for your support people. A very small business owner on one zero budget who wants to take advantage of what he knows to do things quickly, your unwavering encouragement and advice helped me a lot. Keep in touch!!

  • Index of the question - do not include the cost

    Hello

    I have a table of 112mil lines that I copied to a new tablespace, which worked well
    I am so adding indexes to the copied table, but gets enormous costs in plans by trying to make a request using the new index, similar to quirying the original table/index

    First of all I tired to change my main index to an another initial tablespace more great extension, and even if I remove all cela and put it in the table space as well as the original index and created the same way, I get the same huge difference.

    In most om my system this will cause queries that the CBO does not use the index, and applications get very slow. If I do a simple select statement, and the index is selected, even if the cost is enormous, the moment of the actual query is the same as the original table/query. I can't get the cost of the change index by trying different dbms_stats.gather_index_stats settings

    Can someone tell me why this new index comes up with such a huge cost, and what I can do to lower the cost, so that the index gets actually chosen?

    Here is some basic information:

    It's about Oracle 10 g 2 (10.2.0.4) EA

    The simplified create statement for the original and the new index:

    CREATE INDEX IDX_POS_DATE ON FMC_POS

  • Cost of the deployment of Flex 2.0 applications

    Don't get me wrong, I think that Flex 2.0 is about the most amazing app to date development tool and I am very eager to build and deploy applications with it. My question revolves around the cost to do so.

    I'm working on a range of internet and intranet applicationsin CF and I'd love to put Flex on the front-end server. My concern is intranet applications. It is largely small office apps and the cost for MySQL, and ColdFusion purchase costs more than I'd be able to market the application for. Remote access work with the CF developer edition? Adobe allows even commercial applications to run on the developers version?

    Basically, I can't get around to buy MySQL and this cost will work, but if I have to buy a Standard Version of the CF for more each application I sell, is not worth it.

    What are my options? http services? Adobe offers it's slower. Is - this noticeable? Slow died in any web application or not.

    We can say that the web services are custom HTTP services. Web services add the SOAP over HTTP protocol, so you can have organized functions, arguments, values, etc.

    I'm sure that it is not the costs associated with the Java, Apache or PHP. They've all got free and open licenses. Either way, Apache is the Web server. You can implement your solution in PHP or Java (JSP) and it would be hosted by Apache (as I know). These days, PHP is the most popular because it is open source and relatively simple to use (and I believe taken supported by Apache out of the box). There are probably all of the best free solutions.

  • Application of an apex, several different users

    Hi all

    I'm developing an application that will be used by several different companies, all with their own data. As far as I can see, there are three different approaches to this:
    -make different applications with different schemas in the apex, for each business one
    -1 application, 1 schema, separate and the data using a key for each company in the tables
    -1 application, several patterns for each company its own schema

    I'm not experienced in the apex, so I don't know what the best approach for this. Personally, the third option seems the best to me. But is it difficult to do and this security? How can I make sure a company don't get to see data from another company?

    I hope my question is clear and I'm looking forward to your comments!

    Tom

    No I would not necessarily agree with it. 1 schema and application 1 will give you a much lower maintenance cost. If you have a database license, then you can use Oracle Virtual Private Database (VPD) to secure DATA for each organization to:

    http://www.Oracle.com/technology/OBE/obe10gdb/security/VPD/VPD.htm

    It is an excellent example of DTV and Apex in the book "PRO ORACLE APPLICATION EXPRESS".

    This approach to the design of the application will also help:

  • CAN´t get rid of annoying HP message each time I feel.

    I m having a problem with my printer of HP and the Brazil Support he not resolved!

    I had to reinstall Windows on my laptop due to a hard drive crash, and I used the recovery disks provided by Dell.

    I downloaded the latest driver for my HP OfficeJet 8600Pro: 'OJ8600_1315.exe '.

    Whenever I print, I get the pop-up below:

    «Thank you for using the original HP cartridges...» Click HP REWRDS for more information"

    I click on "no, thank you, g * t * h *.

    Next time, I feel, it shows same again.and pop up again and again once and again and again and again...

    I called technical support on + 55 11 4004-7751, matter is referred under the 3002909186 Protocol.

    The tech guy asked me to remove the driver and reinstall it. I did, and I have selected disable all unnecessary features such as TheGoogleWannabe (Bing), HP, HP Update, etc help - did not solve...

    Then he asked the 'level 2' tech guys and they put the blame on Windows, because windows did not record my option "no, thank you '... this ugly response!

    As said before, I used the Dell recovery disks, so I use a 2 weeks fresh, Windows 7 original.

    I hope that there is a better solution than downgrading the driver to a version that had no 'rewards' c * p.

    You know, sometimes good old stuff is better than the new.

    I solved it by myself! I m so smart...

    Google-the-great, found this:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Ink-toner-cartridge-printhead-issues/can-t-get-rid-of-quot-genuine-HP-cartridge-s-installed-quot/TD-p/827807

    In "EXBworksmart" long answer is the #1 solution: disable the bidirectional communication and shut up to the printer.

    Solution #2: don't ever buy HP.  I lost $2500 in my HP laptop because it featured a chip nVidia video, which regularly on PC come with a hetsink and sometimes a fan, but on my rating of HP, he was naked nude, not a single piece of metal to circulate the heat. The remark was an AMD processor, it was hot, and the broken video chip BGA solder.

    Finally, I bought a printer cheap of the Brother Laser HL-1112. No scan, no wifi, no colors, no fax. But I can leave it for years and it will print immediately. Of course all HP Color laser printer would act in the same way, but why buy a lower brand that is just good marketing?

    Brother printers are doing the work, the toner cartridge is separated from the drum to return cartridge more low maintenance cost, AND NOT BAD 'BROTHER REWARDS' pop ups!

    Now I m going to call tech brazillian support to teach them. Hold on... Why bother?

    No offenseses in the letter, only the truth.

  • PhotoSmart C309n

    This printer has real problems with the ink cartridges. We bought our new and it printed only three demo 4 x 6 photos and one or two faxes and all 564 cartridges have been indicating low on ink. I jhave been using HP printers for 25 years and the low ink level indicator is worthless. He kept to give this message until finally I tried to print a picture of demo more and the colors were awful. Support States replace all color cartridges.

    Each different HP printer I used did a better job of letting the user know the cartridge. At the price of 3 564 cartridges, it's an expensive appliance if you do not get a warning more than anything.

    Then, please be advised that they will lower the cost of cartridges as the capacity of usable page is not correct.

    Everyone knows some pictures/page impression because the empty cartridges without any warning over the ink is low

  • EqualLogic PS6100X: direct connections (double) iscsi to 3 vmware ESX host

    Hello

    Due to the reduction of costs, we integrate

    1 x ps6100x Dell Equallogic (2 controllers to each 4 ports)

    3 x dell poweredge r720 (each have 2 ports dedicated for trafficking SAN storage)

    vSphere 5.5 (shared storage on the San)

    Without the use of SAN switches. Each host has dual direct connection (1 to each SAN controller) with the initiator iscsi software.

    We did before with Dell MD3200i, who has also 2 controllers and 8 ports, so we expect no problems.

    But now that I have read on the Equallogic, I'm starting to become uncertain if this Setup will work?

    I know that this is not recommended, but at this point, my only concern is that it will work (even with less performance).

    Can you please give me some advice on this?

    Best regards

    Joris

    P.S. If this is probably NOT possible, what would be the best/low average cost to make this possible?

    I've seen this failure at work, as in the connections dropped, BSOD was virtual machines with a single host with no switch.  iSCSI traffic tends to be very burst, which is having when the right switch pays you back.

    Re: 3750 X are those good switches, there is some adjustment settings that need to be addressed.  Also to solve a flowcontrol problem download the most current IOS firmware.

    For such a small group / number of servers, the stacked 2960 would be OK.  Perhaps to problems later if you need to scale this environment.  lack of 2960 allocate buffer, then you want to start without Jumbo frames, all enter into stable and of good practices.  So maybe later try enabling it.  3750 X works very well with Jumbo and Flowcontrol active BTW.

    These choices are better than no switch miles.  3750 x were pretty expensive last time I looked.  Unless you have a little already.  If you share them with the rest of the traffic that is not optimal, but at least put all ISCSI traffic on its own VIRTUAL local network.

    4948 are the right choice.  Some high-end HP switches.  Step away from the elders, like 2810 or 2824/48.  They seem to be there for cheap $$ but are designed for GbE Office not GbE iSCSI.

  • Alienware Aurora R4 - helmet in the rear socket

    Hello world! I'm not a native English speaker, but I'll do my best!

    I have an Alienware Aurora r4 with windows 7 and I have unfortunately broken my front jack for headphones. Now if I try to connect the headphones to the back of the pc, in the enclosure making, the audio quality is very low, I for example static noise problems. I guess that's because I'm using the speaker to the headphones Jack. Is it possible, with realtek or something, to change the plug to the speaker on the back, in a headset socket, in order to maintain the same audio quality?

    You will find probably than having the long headphone (analog) wiring along the side of the turn of the computer it attracts EMI/EMC interference as an antenna.

    You could try wrapping the headphone cord around a ferrite ring or something similar.

    Another solution...

    You get a USB headset low computational cost. It will plug in front/high once again.

  • Is it possible to upgrade Enterpsie from Windows Vista to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program?

    Hi all

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Windows Vista Enterprise. I read on the ability to upgrade to Windows 7 at low administrative cost by HP upgrade program. However, the site mentions that I can only upgrade from Vista Home Premium, business or ultimate edition. My laptop HP (the EliteBook 8530w) had Windows Vista Enterprise is installed. So I want to know if it is possible for me to upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade HP program.

    I bought this laptop from my University. They had a program, so we could buy our laptop with many applications that we need for our study pre-installed. It could be that they have replaced the Vista HP installed with Windows Vista Business version. If this is the case, is it possible for me to somehow re - install the previous version of Vista, so I can still take part in the upgrade program?

    I bought my laptop at my University. They have installed all the software and it is possible that they also installed Windows Vista business. When I looked at the description of the Elitebook 8530w, he mentioned Windiows Vista Ultimate as the operating system. So I am clueless why my University is using Windows Vista Enterprise.I have decided that I will contact HP support on this issue, to see if I can install Vista Ultimate and then upgrade to Windows 7.

    UPDATE: I contacted just HP support by phone. The Elitebook 8530w comes with Vista Bussiness installed and they send me an installation disc within 14 days. They have also described here it might be possible to do a clean install with upgrade cd, although they did not know for some. I think I'll try the clean install first, and if that doesn't work, I'll install Windows Vista Bussiness and then perform the upgrade.

    In any case, I want to thank everyone for the help they provided.

  • New design of the ESX environment design

    Community,.

    I could use help on the thoughts, currently there are a few projects concerning the upgrade of components of storage network/etc but I thought on a few different approaches.

    Our installation of 175 5.1 ESXi hosts is currently roughly:

    CPU/memory:

    According to the model, over the life cycle, we have about 4 different models active (same HW provider), everyone has the storage/NETWORK card configuration below:

    Storage:

    2 x 4 GB FibreChannel (connected to different fabrics)

    Network:

    NICs 8 x 1 Gbps

    -2 x vMotion (on different switches)

    -2 x management (on different switches)

    -4 x VM traffic (on different switches)

    So what to do in the future? Currently the network is mainly related to 1 Gbit/s because the team of specialists who are not being updated again.

    It is not on the creation of infrastructure plans converged etc, but I thought about it.

    We have no real problem that will push us in one direction. Because the fragmentation of disciplines each team has a different point of view how to do things.

    Case 1

    Keep the current design, but upgrade the network components and storage as needed in the future. It's our way of work now.

    Case 2

    Take a look at a converged infrastructure solution? BladeCenter / infiniband?

    Case 3

    What network virtualization (VMware NSX) with a convergent solution (or not?)

    A few things I want to achieve (no operational requirements (yet))

    -Performance increase/expand

    -Demanding latency

    -Lower costs (cables, DC, power, cooling and administration space) in the future

    What are your experiences, problems, things to think about, what not to do?

    I Don t necessarily need a full explanation (would be nice of course), but if I can get some new thoughts or directions from your answers I could dig into it a little deeper myself. I was wondering based on experiences if it's worth to put more effort into it.

    Do not worry about the investment, if it is interesting to build a business case that can help achieve savings, management etc. it might be useful.

    Hope to hear from you guys

    Hey Wh33ly,

    Breaks down each section a bit here:

    Server hardware (CPU/memory, reduce cables ect)

    -From this point support CPU/memory is still any provider you have access.  However, the obligation to reduce the latency and cables, you may look at some converged computer worms, or something like a Cisco UCS chassis.  The Cisco UCS chassis has two FI who are sitting on the top of the grille that act as the brains of the operation.  At the rear of the chassis, you will have two IOM failet (failet of input/output) these are the external ports for all blade chassis.  Most configuration I see usually have 20Ggbps coming out of the AKA 2 cables by IOM goes up to the FI or 40Gbps, up aka YEW 4 cables.  Nevertheless the frame Cisco UCS reducing much cables as only cables coming out of the chassis are those of your IOM modules.  The cables only leaving this rack will be those from the FI to your basic network infrastructure.  With this in mind, any Center of blade will usually reduce your cable management and it will also reduce traffic on your network East/West as live all the blades in the same chassis.

    Because the calculation is similarly any provider you are with, questions you would have to ask is what are the problems that this chassis resolved during my current infrastructure?  This problem must be a value of extra time and resources it will take to install the new infrastructure and migrate on.

    Networking

    -When it comes to networking, nothing wrong with 1 GB but 10 GB price sank so quickly become the default.  Also with 40 GB coming down the pipe very little time this should also lower the cost of 10 GB which can make a little more progress a best migration plan.

    -10 GB also reduces the cables that you get 10 cables with a value of 1 speed

    -If you decide to go all the 10 GB, you want to consider migration to the VDS switches.  Virtual distributed switches offer many benefits and also allows you to use the new control of NIOC to control how each group of fate as 10 GB ports.  So now, you can define each group of ports on the amount of traffic it gets and how much stock it.  This gives a lot of flexibility

    -NSX, NSX is ideal if you want to be able to control your VLAN s, Firewall, VLAN, Speration through Vmware / vSPhere.  This gives a huge amount of automation, flexibility and free service capabilities, but it does NOT increase the speed.  Even with the NSX your sub with connections are always going to be your performance brand bottle neck or a bench.  So if your running all the 1 GB of network even if you move to NSX will always only clocked you at 1 GB.  Yes NSX will give you more flexibility and may also reduce some of the East/West traffic, but your still limited to your physical hardware.  In this spirit, I would say that the biggest assets NSX is if you're a provide service, multitendcy environment, or you require the ability to create a VLAN ect so automation, scripts or self service portals.  Like anything else, I watch NSX as a tool, and if it's the right tool for the job then I use it, if not then I don't have.

    Long story short, networking is quickly moving to 10 GB, there is no direct NEED to jump ship as soon as possible, but its something that you might want to look into the establishment of the budget over the next year or two to define yourself to easier transitions.  10 GB also allows backup of the computer virtual a LOT faster that can help with RTO, RPO requirements.

    Storage

    All boils down to how much space do you need and how much performance do you need?   One thing is for certain that the SSD is here to stay and will be the future of the SAN.  Almost each SAN vendor now has a solution at several levels, hybrid solution or any SSD solution.  The nice thing about all SAN SSD solutions is that you no longer have to spend cycles administrative construction of storage pools, tweaking them, with groups bronze, silver, gold, for performance.  This all goes with all SSD without that everything is super fast.  That said, there are also many storage solutions converged to come, the local host caching and VSAN type stuff.  It is all the pressure put on businesses in SAN to find ways to be more innovative to make storage and lower prices as its much cheaper to buy 3 guests with drives then just put some kind of Storage Virtualization top layer all to share the lun/storage.  In the next year or 2 you will start to see the space of SAN saturated with many small businesses that make the converged storage, VSAN and cached local solutions duly lower price points.

    When your storage decision goes forward, you want to go with the SAN/supplier who offers the best performance for your money and gives you enough space for future growth with IOPS / s.  Tpyically when I size a SAN, I put 2-3 years worth of memory buffer in there for consumtion IOPS / s and space, like the SAN buy is one of the biggest, a COMPUTING organization must do.  If this is done on arrival of the IOPS / s and badly or space in a year it's hard to go back to the honeypot fruitful asking more money again, but also all SSD SAN are that they are still a bit expensive and not always in the budgets of peoples.

    I hope this helped,

    If you have any questions please let me know.

  • Do I really need a server license 5.0 vcenter for my vsphere Enterprise 5.0

    Hi all, im new to the Forum vmware and encryption currently in terms of licensing for our small internal data center facility.

    My physical features are for licensing

    Guests: 2
    Number of CPUS: 4
    by CPU core: 6
    For each host RAM: 32 GB will later expand to 64 GB
    and a device to IBM SAN
    If I purchase 4 licenses of the company and need to use the FT features and HA I really need the server vcenter license for that?
    What will miss if I do not buy the license of vcenter server?
    Buy licenses without any SnS that it's expensive, and we want to keep to a bare licensing.
    I thank in advance

    It will be possible to lower the cost even more far by going to an ENT AK but with vsphere Foundation? instead of the standard... or is it a fixed regime that cannot be changed.

    The Kits are sold as announced. These are especially price of starter kits that can be purchased once per site.

    What other discounts can I ask my distributor to provide other than VPP.

    Can't help you on this. I'm not even sure if you can get the volume for only 4 licenses processor licensing more vCenter Server.
    If above our list price no idea what sort of profit my distribution partner for vmware will do about that?
    How are they able to cite much less than these rates mentioned above!
    I don't think you will get an answer to these questions. Not sure what your company product, but I'm sure that you don't tell your clients how much profit you make on your products.
