Under Shell

Create a new user account to grant access to a database

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-user-creation/

NOTE: please be mindful when creating a user name. There is no protection against creating an old user's name. If you accidentally create a same user name as say mediawiki DB user, then mediawiki will not be working.

$ mysql -u root -p
OR
$ mysql -u root -h myserver-sever.com -p

Create a new mysql database called demo;

mysql> CREATE DATABASE testdb;

Create a new user called user1 for database demo

mysql> GRANT ALL ON testdb.* TO user1@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

User user1 can connect to mysql server demo database using following command:

$ mysql -u user1 -p testdb
OR
$ mysql -u user1 -h mysql.server.com -p testdb

MYSQL commands

http://www.pantz.org/software/mysql/mysqlcommands.html

Find out about your MySQL version and all installed plugins:

mysql> select version();
mysql> show plugins;

Default database location

On debian, it is /var/lib/mysql.

phpMyAdmin

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

Create a database 'demo' and a table 'employee'

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/10/mysql-tutorial-basics/

mysql -u guest -p demo
show databases;
use demo;
show tables;
create table employee .............;
desc employee;
insert into employee .............;
select * from employee;


Access mysql using perl

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-access-mysql-database-using-perl

Use through R

Examples from r-bloggers

Installation

Ubuntu/Debian

First, log in using root.

install.packages("DBI")

Go to shell and

apt-get install libdbd-mysql libmysqlclient16-dev       (not sure if this is necessary)
http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/RMySQL_0.9-3.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL RMySQL*.tar.gz

Windows

Check my note with complete screenshots at File:Install MySQL on Windows.pdf.

Open and close connection: dbConnect/dbDisconnect

con <- dbConnect(MySQL(),
         user="me", password="nuts2u",
         dbname="my_db", host="localhost")
on.exit(dbDisconnect(con))

List tables and fields: dbListTables and dbListFields

dbListTables(mydb)
dbListFields(mydb, 'some_table')

Read and write entire tables: dbReadTable and dbWriteTable

We can create tables in the database using R dataframes.

df = dbReadTable(con, 'motortrend')
dbWriteTable(mydb, name='table_name', value=data.frame.name)

Query: dbGetQuery and dbSendQuery

You can process query results row by row, in blocks or all at once. The highly useful function dbGetQuery(con, sql) returns all query results as a data frame. With dbSendQuery, you can get all or partial results with fetch.

con <- dbConnect(MySQL(), user="network_portal", password="monkey2us", dbname=db.name, host="localhost")
rs <- dbSendQuery(con, "select name from genes limit 10;") # results in in mysql
data <- fetch(rs, n=10) # return result to R as a data frame; use n=-1 to retrieve all pending records.
huh <- dbHasCompleted(rs)
dbClearResult(rs)
dbDisconnect(con)

Aggregate and Sort

df = dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT mfg, avg(hp) AS meanHP FROM motortrend GROUP BY mfg ORDER BY meanHP DESC")
df = dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT cyl as cylinders, avg(hp) as meanHP FROM motortrend GROUP by cyl ORDER BY cyl")

dbApply()

sql = "SELECT cyl, hp FROM motortrend ORDER BY cyl"
rs = dbSendQuery(con, sql)
dbApply(rs, INDEX='cyl', FUN=function(x, grp) quantile(x$hp))

Retrieving AUTO_INCREMENT IDs

create.network <- function(species.id, network.name, data.source, description) {
  
  con <- dbConnect(MySQL(),
           user="super_schmuck", password="nuts2u",
           dbname="my_db", host="localhost")
  on.exit(dbDisconnect(con))

  sql <- sprintf("insert into networks
                  (species_id, name, data_source, description, created_at)
                  values (%d, '%s', '%s', '%s', NOW());",
                 species.id, network.name, data.source, description)
  rs <- dbSendQuery(con, sql)
  dbClearResult(rs)

  id <- dbGetQuery(con, "select last_insert_id();")[1,1]

  return(id)
}

Full example from Jeffrey Breen

http://www.r-bloggers.com/slides-%E2%80%9Caccessing-databases-from-r%E2%80%9D-rstats/

First, create new database & user in MySQL:

mysql> create database testrdb;
mysql> grant all privileges on testrdb.* to 'testuser'@'localhost' identified by 'testpass';
mysql> flush privileges;

In R, load the “mtcars” data.frame, clean it up, and write it to a new “motortrend” table:

library(stringr)
library(RMySQL)
 
data(mtcars)
 
# car name is data.frame's rownames. Let's split into manufacturer and model columns:
mtcars$mfg = str_split_fixed(rownames(mtcars), ' ', 2)[,1]
mtcars$mfg[mtcars$mfg=='Merc'] = 'Mercedes'
mtcars$model = str_split_fixed(rownames(mtcars), ' ', 2)[,2]
 
# connect to local MySQL database (host='localhost' by default)
con = dbConnect("MySQL", "testrdb", username="testuser", password="testpass")
 
dbWriteTable(con, 'motortrend', mtcars)
 
dbDisconnect(con)

And check the database from mysql

mli@PhenomIIx6:~$ mysql -u testuser -p
Enter password:
