are two different version of the script in the same time with
the same features, one for mysql and the other one for the binary
database.
ADDED: Dump to textfile capability. Later on I want to dump it into a
palm readable format, any help is welcome!
ADDED: interactive mode.
CHANGED: Better modularity, better code.
CHANGED: note can now run without the need of a config file. If does not
exist, it will try to work with default values.
ADDED: sub num_bereich(), which allows one to specify more then one
number for deletion or displaying (i.e.: "-d 1,4,7" or "-d 4-9")
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.
