    need simple password protection

    ChrisHirst, trollacious, I saw those references, read them but still needed a bit more... The approach I suggested did not use MD5... because I got the idea that MD5 would require my host to install or make something extra available or require .NET. We are not using .NET. Can I get away with...

    need simple password protection

    I have an administrative area on my site where users with different securtiy levels can see different pages. This was done with a couple of tables which capture users and a security setting. It has been working great. Probably our biggest exposure now is that the user name and password are...

    automating import of excel data to web based SQL Server

    We have a web based ASP/SQL server application that our users log into and submit monthly performance numbers by filling in a form. Many of our users accumulate their monthly figures in an excel spreadsheet. What we would like to do is take some of the pain out of data entry. I have seen a...

    To Lock or not to Lock... What are the implications?

    Thanks for the advice to look up optimistic locking on Google.... the light finally went on in my head....I can "see" how this might work. What I have not noticed before is the use of "optimistic" terminology in the MySQL documentation for InnoDB tables.... is this how...

    I have a mySQL -php application set up to service a small group who are located in several different cities using a variety of platforms. The application is hosted by a G4 Mac running OS 10.2.8 We have been very pleased with the performance of the set up. The database/application manages...

    Merging fields within a file

    I have a well structured comma separated file which has approximately 20 fields... some may have a few less. I would like to &quot;merge&quot; all of the fields $15 through NF into a single field. What I have written is working on my header line but blowing up on the subsequent lines... most...

    I could not get awk '/^first name/{if(NR>1)next}{print}' path/to/inputfile to work..all the headers remained and the suggestion from CaKiwi to strip off the xtra lines as part of the concatonation would have set me back a ways while I figured out how to redo it permitting me to automatically...
