TLINDEN 9a30ffc37a ADDED: The install.sh script for the mysql version is no able to install the
required Mysql module directly from CPAN, thanks to David A. Bandel!
FIXED:          The mysql version did not display notes (i.e.: "note 3" did nothing)
CHANGED:        Again, the sql-format of the mysql database has been changed. Now
                there are only 3 fields, the number filed is the primary key, the id
                field in previous versions was a waste of diskspace...
CHANGED:        The format of the dump-output has been changed.
ADDED:          It is now possible to import previously dumped notes into the notedb
                (dumps from both versions are compatible with each other)
FIXED:          the function num_bereich() had a bug, which caused ot to ignore under
                some circumstances one number (i.e. "note -d 4-13" did nothing).

README for the mysql version of note

Requirements
============

        You need the following things:
                o perl installed (5.004x)
                o mysql database installed and running
                o Mysql perlmodule (you can find it on 
                  http://www.mysql.org) PLEASE NOTE:
                  It needs the Module "Mysql". The install.sh
		  script will install it for you directly from
		  CPAN if you like. Newer versions
                  are DBI, which you can also use to access
                  mysql databases. If you want to use it, you
                  have to rewrite the program. Please let me
                  know, if you did it :-)
                o permissions to create a new database and
                  to write data to this database.



Installation
============

        First, make sure all these things above are ok.
        You can use the script "install.sh" to create a new
        database and the table structure. You might edit 
        the script before running it.

        If you getting trouble, i.e. if you have not the 
        required permissions to do that, please make sure,
        you can. 
        As user root, you have to give your user the 
        neccessary permissions. Please refer to the mysql 
        documentation, how to do that.
        After that repeat the step above.

        As root, copy the perl-script "note" to /usr/bin.

	You can find a sample config file within the subdirectory
	"config" named noterc. There are some special values
	which you can use to connect to a different database
	then the default.
	install.sh will create the following database:
		name: 		user_note
		Maintable: 	note
		Number:		number(int 10)
		Note:		note(text)
		Date:		date(text)

	You can use the file "permissions" as a template for
	modifying a users permissions to her database. Please
	note, that there are different version of mysql out 
	there with different access privilege systems, which
	are not compatible, refer to the documentation shipped
	with your mysql installation to learn, how many fields
	are available and what they are for.

	You may also take a look to:
	http://www.mysql.org/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html	


        This should be all.
