file, use perls open() instead.
CHANGED: excluded some of the help texts from the usage message and the
interactive help command to a manpage.
ADDED: new commandline flag "--encrypt" which one can use to encrypt
the mysql database password. This will be decrypted before
connecting to the db. There is also a new config file option
"encrypt_passwd" which indicates an encrypted db-password.
ADDED: another new config option "ShortCd", which can be set to "yes"
or 1 and if set, then a command like "cd 13" would jump
directly to the topic of the note with the number 13.
ADDED: now you can at any time cd back to the "root" of the
topic-structure using the command "cd /".
CHANGED: mysql.pm does now only do a table-lock on single write
accesses, no more on the whole session. This allows one to
access the same db twice or more.
FIXED: Changed README and Changelog for readability on 80 by 25
displays. And changed indentation of the note script itself.
ADDED: NOTEDB.pm - a generic module, which holds some methods, which
are used by binary.pm, mysql.pm and dbm.pm.
ADDED: NOTEDB.pm generate_search(), which allows one to
use AND, OR and various combinations of them using ( and ).
ADDED: a search does now return the 2nd line of a note if a matching
note's first line is a topic.
CHANGED: use "unshift" instead of push to add $libpath to @INC.
ADDED: a new feature, Caching of notes. supported by binary.pm and
mysql.pm. To turn it on, one need to set "Cache" in the config
to a true value.
README for the mysql database installation for 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 are 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.
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.
