Access denied for user: 'user@localhost' (Using password: YES)

The user used to execute the import needs the FILE privilege in order to complete a command similar the one below.

LOAD DATA INFILE filename
INTO TABLE products
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n';

Use the following command within MySQL to grant the FILE privilege.

GRANT FILE ON *.* TO 'mysql_user'@'localhost';

Once you start the MySQL creation process you will have the option to Allow/Disallow direct access.

This is very useful if you do not want to use phpMyAdmin to administer your MySQL database such as an initial import that exceeds the maximum import file size. Currently GoDaddy.com limits to 2048kb.

If you want to use phpMyAdmin and need to import a large amount of data check out my tutortial on how to use SQLDumpSplitter.

SELECT

	MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(unixtime_fieldname)) = MONTH(CURDATE())
	AND DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(unixtime_fieldname)) = DAY(CURDATE())
	AND YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(unixtime_fieldname)) = YEAR(CURDATE())

This particular query is looking for any records that have the same month, day and year as today.

You can use any MySQL tool you have available, my favorite is Navicat.

Options Table

The options table stores all of the main settings for your blog. You will need to update the URLs that were originally set during installation as well as where your uploads are stored.

Update URLs

UPDATE wp_options
SET option_value = 'http://www.yourwebsite.com'
WHERE option_name = 'siteurl'
	AND option_name = 'home'

Update Upload Path

UPDATE wp_options
SET option_value = 'wp-content/uploads'
WHERE option_name = 'upload_path'

Galleries

If you have galleries in your posts you will need to update the URLs for the images to your production URL.

Update Image URLs

NOTE: The ‘localhost’ value below should match what you entered during installation on your development/staging server.

UPDATE wp_posts
SET guid = REPLACE(guid, 'localhost', 'www.yourwebsite.com')
WHERE post_type = 'attachment'
	AND post_mime_type = 'image/jpeg'

It will split the files into smaller split files from the master mysqldump file to the size specified.

Installation

Download a fresh copy of SQL Dump Splitter

http://www.rusiczki.net/blog/blogstuff/SQLDumpSplitter.zip

Extract the zip file and run the application.

<extracted directory>\SQLDumpSplitter.exe

Usage

With the application open click Browse in Step 1.

Choose your mysqldump file.

Now Step 2 will ask you for the max size for each split file, by bytes, kilobytes and megabytes and show you number of split files.

If you keep the default directory in Step 3 SQL Dump Splitter will create a new directory SQLDump Splitter with your split files. It will not override your mysqldump file.

Click execute to start splitting you mysqldump file.

Once the splitting has been completed you will receive a notification that the process is complete.

When you start your import start with the _DataStructure.sql file first. This has all of the create table statement then move on the the _<number>.sql files to import your data.

Credits

Many thanks to Philip Lehmann-Böhm for creating the application and János Rusiczki for hosting the binary.

IDEs (Integrated Development Environment)*

Microsoft ASP.NET

Both of the IDEs below are top notch and my personal favorites for developing against Microsoft technologies. Both have incredible built in debuggers including JavaScript debugging, drag and drop Web Control functionality, direct SQL Server support, source control support, ASP.NET AJAX integration, the list goes on. Click on the links below to view a full feature list.

Microsoft Visual Web Developer – Free
http://www.microsoft.com/express/vwd/

Microsoft Visual Studio
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/products/default.aspx

PHP, Perl, Ruby, Java and Other Open Source Technologies

There are a lot more open source and commercial IDEs available for the Open Source technologies that are not listed here and quick search on Google will help if you are looking for something in particular.

I only develop against PHP in the Open Source space so I will list PHP IDEs that I use.

Eclipse PDT Project – Free – Cross Platform
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/
This is an incredible Open Source (free) project that will give most developers just about every feature you will need. The one thing I must mention about Eclipse is that it is has a huge list of plugins that extend it’s base functionality from integrated database support, just about every programming language support, integrated remote server clients and much more.

EasyEclipse – Free – Cross Platform
http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/home/index.html
Similar to Eclipse PDT but with the most common used plugins already installed. The base Eclipse version may be behind from the latest version.

Zend Studio Professional for Eclipse – Cross Platform
http://www.zend.com/en/products/studio/
My experience with Zend Studio Professional for Eclipse has been mixed. It has all of the base functionality as the Eclipse PDT project (which a lot of Zend Studio is based on) as well as hooks into their proprietary products such as Zend Core and includes support for the PHP/Java bridge.

I love the extra functionality Zend Studio for Eclipse comes with that Eclipse PDT doesn’t have but it is slower and more buggy (crashes and constant workspace builds that run forever). Beyond a few bugs I encounter on a regular basis I believe it is worth the cost of a license since you do get support directly from Zend, a lot of incredible functionality and regular updates from Zend.

Aptana – Free – Cross Platform
http://www.aptana.com/
This is my favorite Eclipse plugin that can also be installed as a stand-alone application. I originally used this plugin for it’s excellent support for HTML, CSS and JavaScript but over time they have included some great tools such as their Jaxer Server and Aptana Cloud. If you are a Zend Studio user you will love the improvement of HTML, CSS and JavaScript support this plugin has over the built in tools. This plugin does support several other languages.

Database Management

Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server Management Studio Express – Free
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C243A5AE-4BD1-4E3D-94B8-5A0F62BF7796&displaylang=en
This is a great tool to management your SQL Server Express installation. This is a nice addition by Microsoft since the old Express version (MSDE, equivalent to SQL Server 2000) did not come with any managment software.

The biggest drawback to this is it does not have any direct method to backup or export all of your database data. I suggest grabbing a copy of the SQL Server Toolkit and use DTS to handle that or use the tool available from Peter A. Bromberg.

SQL Server Management Studio
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174173.aspx
This is the full version of the SQL Server tools and has everything you need to manage your SQL Server data. A copy usually comes with a full version of Visual Studio.

MySQL

MySQL GUI Tools – Free
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/gui-tools/5.0.html
MySQL has provided some basic tools to handle your MySQL installation from server and resource management to a query tool. Very handy but very basic as well. Does not include methods for direct export or import of data.

Navicat – Cross Platform
http://www.navicat.com/
This is the best MySQL management tool I have used. Very straight forward interface with everything you need at your fingertips. Has many data management tools with the ability to import, export, migrate data to and from other MySQL servers, schedule backups, create reports and much more. This is another commercial application that is worth the cost of the license.

They also provide versions for Oracle and PostgreSQL.
