It's northing to do with param_country because I am getting the problem when I run the stored procedure on MySQL Server console as well (without any C#)
For example, if I run:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH")
it works fine but when I run:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH", "US")
I get:
[SQL] CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH", "US")
[Err] 1318 - Incorrect number of arguments for PROCEDURE bluefile.sp_populate_memo_country_companies; expected 1, got 2

What part of that message do you find difficult to understand?

this part:
CREATE DEFINER=<code>root</code>@<code>127.0.0.1</code> PROCEDURE <code>sp_populate_memo_country_companies</code>(IN param_country varchar(255))
there is only argument which is param_country which I am passing but maybe in the wrong way..
I mean in my above case, how can I pass an IN parameter for:
WHERE country_code IN (param_country)

Just pack all the patterns for IN clause in one varchar/string value and pass this value as a single argument!

I tried:
CALL sp_populate_memo_country_companies("BH, US")
but returns no rows when BH alone returns 5 rows.

 Does this not tell you something, SQL treats the parameter as a single value and you get an error! You need to split the string into individual values.
You need a split function for MySQL below is the SQL Server version I use
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_Split]
(@List varchar(8000), @Delimiter char(1))
RETURNS @Results table
(Item varchar(8000),ID int Identity(1,1))
AS
begin
declare @IndexStart int
declare @IndexEnd int
declare @Length int
declare @Word varchar(8000)
set @IndexStart = 1
set @IndexEnd = 0
set @Length = len(@List)
If @Delimiter = '' Set @Delimiter = ','
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(9),'')
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(10),'')
Set @List = Replace(@List,char(13),'')
while @IndexStart <= @Length
begin
set @IndexEnd = charindex(@Delimiter, @List, @IndexStart)
If @Delimiter = char(32)
set @IndexEnd = charindex(Space(1), @List, @IndexStart)
if @IndexEnd = 0
set @IndexEnd = @Length + 1
set @Word = substring(@List, @IndexStart, @IndexEnd - @IndexStart)
set @IndexStart = @IndexEnd + 1
INSERT INTO @Results(Item)
SELECT @Word
end
return
end
Then you can use a join to filter the location table
DECLARE @StringParam VARCHAR(100)= 'AA,BB,CC'
SELECT * FROM dbo.fn_split(@StringParam,',')
SELECT * FROM Location L
INNER JOIN dbo.fn_split(@StringParam,',') S ON S.item = l.country_code
This is SQL Server code, you may need to change it for MySql

how can I convert this to MySQL's PL/SQL?

That is your job, I don't run MySQL. You need to get to know PL SQL or search the support sites for specific problems you run into. There is nothing in there that is specific to TSQL.

So here's the thing. I am a new coder and I am working on my first big project from scratch. My project is using ASP.NET MVC, Google Maps API, Entity Framework, with SQL Server.
I got a very early protype started on my local machine but I'm starting to run into database design complications. I am already new to coding, but somehow have managed to figure out MVC and get a Web API going. However, I am even less experienced than that with databases and database administration. I know how to add/remove database objects and set up tables and all that jazz; that's not a big deal. But I'm having questions such as:
*What is the best way to associate user accounts in my system with their business' information...
*I want my users to be able to add/remove products to their business' inventory table... What is the best way to set up the database to store each individual product.
*What is a good way to pair the information given to me via business owners with the data I pull from Google API.
*Should I create a new object for each inventory item or just list it in a long text string of all inventory items since no details will be needed?
*When do I have my application create an entire new database versus just add a new table in an existing database? For example, should user accounts and businesses be in two separate databases?
And more...
These questions are less coding questions and more database setup/administration questions... Questions I'd love to ask someone who has made a big modern commercial database before that handles accounts and inventory and all that. Obviously, coding questions will come up too but a lot of it is just database design.
So, my real question here is... How do most coders do this? I would iamgine a lot of coders are not DB experts... Should I buy a Database Administration book and read it? Should I consult an expert? Since this will be a data-driven application, database setup is important. Thanks!
PS: Please, don't worry about me being overwhelmed. I mean, if this is something that will seriously take 6 months of dedicated study, it may be better left for me to call up someone else... But even though I just started programming a few months back, I'm actually loving getting into all of this and it is not intimidating at all.

Do NOT get a book on database administration, yet. Get a book on database DEVELOPER, admin and dev are very different roles. There is also as site with sample database, ah found it[^], pick one close to your industry and try and understand why the design was used. He is pretty good and faithful to the rules of DB design.
After you have got a feel for DB design feel free to ask silly, or not so silly question here.
Your first 3 questions are answered by foreign keys
You should create 1 table per CLASS of inventory (if an items attributes are so different to an existing class then create a new class).
Your application should NEVER create a new database except for backup (and this should be an admin job not application).
If your scale is going to so huge (as in multiple of terabytes) that storage is an issue then you could split the data into different databases but I have never had to do that.

If you're working on enterprise or Web Applications, it's pretty much a given that you'll need to understand how databases work. There's not getting away from the fact that you can mess yourself up badly if you don't understand normalization, concurrency, and relationships.
The current bar is SQL, and if you're interested in web apps I would strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with relational design; your model class designs should be informed by the relational system and, more importantly, normalization.
Once you understand the relational schema, then make your life easier by having a look at document stores like Mongo.

Not sure how to address that part. A database admin who comes into a shop with no other admin should have about 5 years of experience doing just that. So 5 years of a 40 hour a week job.
A place that wants to hack it a bit more with small initial aspirations but whose goal is to deliver a product could get by with a developer who has had 2 years of experience working with databases via a programming language (so familiar with the database but primarily programming is C#, Java, etc.)

Do it every day for years.

Very little that isn't but that doesn't insure that you must use a database.

So dive in. You can't learn it if you never start.
There are books about programming with databases. You should find one of those. Database design is a different issue just as design itself is a different issue and I have never found a book that really teaches design well (of any sort.) The basics of programming however does lend itself well to books.
If you don't mind reading then one that focuses on database programming and another that attempts to teach database admin will, over time, help. I have never been a DB Admin but the admin books I do have have been helpful.
As a suggestion try to keep your design as simple as possible.

Hi,
I am trying to pass a varchar string from C# to MySQL stored procedure to be used in WHERE xx IN (param). I tried it in the basic way below but it's not working and giving no result.
can any one help please.
this is my C#:
sql_connection = new MySqlConnection(serverClass.connectionstring("BlueFile", "BlueFile", "Server"));
sql_connection.Open();
sql_command = new MySqlCommand("sp_populate_memo_country_companies", sql_connection);
sql_command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
sql_command.Parameters.AddWithValue("param_country", Convert.ToString(cboToCountry.EditValue)).MySqlDbType = MySqlDbType.VarChar;
sql_adapter = new MySqlDataAdapter();
sql_adapter.SelectCommand = sql_command;
data_set = new DataSet();
sql_adapter.Fill(data_set, "companies");
DataViewManager dataview_manager = new DataViewManager(data_set);
DataView main_dataview = dataview_manager.CreateDataView(data_set.Tables["companies"]);
cboToCompany.Properties.ValueMember = "location_id";
cboToCompany.Properties.DisplayMember = "company_name";
cboToCompany.Properties.DataSource = main_dataview;
DevExpress.XtraEditors.Controls.LookUpColumnInfo("department_name", 50, "department_name"));
cboToCompany.Properties.PopupSizeable = false;
cboToCompany.EditValue = null;
and this is my stored procedure:
SELECT locations.location_id, companies.company_name, locations.location_name, first_payroll, last_payroll
FROM locations
JOIN country ON country.country_code_alpha2 = locations.country_code
JOIN companies ON companies.company_id = locations.company_id
LEFT JOIN payroll ON payroll.location_id = locations.location_id
WHERE locations.country_code IN (param_country) AND payroll_active = TRUE
GROUP BY locations.location_id
ORDER BY companies.company_name;
Thanks,
Jassim[^]

Split your country string into a temp table and use a join or (select country from newtable)

After looking at your code, are you sure the value of the "param_country" is a quoted, comma separated list of values ?
For example an IN clause would look like this: "select * from myTable where location in ('USA','CANADA','MEXICO')
Check the value of the sql_command.Parameters("param_country") right after you populate it with values.
BTW: There may be limitations to the number of values you can have in an "IN" clause. I remember from a while ago Oracle had a 1000 item limit, just something to think about.

I'm trying to determine if the following SQL query represents someone trying to pull information (regardless of what the information is - title, ID, message etc) from all the forum users' unread PMs:
SHOW COLUMNS FROM mybb_users LIKE 'unreadpms'
Is this the case, and why/why not?
|
|
|
|
|
Might be the case, but since it is far from being a valid SQL statement, I would not even worry if this person was sitting behind my machine using SQL Management Studio.
Not even if the other screen would show the MSDN page explaining the syntax for a SELECT statement.

Excuse my writing of the statement, it's probably my fault it's not formatted correctly, I'm not that familiar with SQL, I'm just trying to determine if there's a security/privacy issue of someone possibly accessing unread PMs of the forum users.
I suppose another way of saying this, is the query a generic query you'd expect in a mybb forum database, or could it possibly be used to list (maybe not the contents but like a directory or list of PMs that they can then pick out which take their interest) unread PMs that could then be read manually?

Yes, by looking at the queries. The query itself won't be showing intent. It may be malicious, it may just be a dev that is testing. Problem is that you do not know the origin.
The fact that you are looking at them implies to me that you do not trust the security of the database, to which I'd have to agree. Instead of looking at a logbook who was in your house, one should be checking the lock and which users have keys. If you are confident about the lock and keys, then it makes little sense to go ask the person who entered the house what their intent is.
If the data is saved in a readable format, then yes, anyone with access to the table could read it. It does not matter what data it is - goes for (read) PM's as well as other tables.

SHOW COLUMNS FROM is to get Information about the table structure and not to query data from a table. Detailed information about it you can find i.e. here:MySQL :: MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual :: 14.7.5.5 SHOW COLUMNS Syntax[^]
I assume you like to query data from the table. For this you Need to do something like this:
SELECT title, ID, message, etc...
FROM mybb_users
WHERE Status = 'unreadpms'
In the above I used Status, which you need to replace with the fieldname you are using to store the Information 'unreadpms'.
I hope it helps.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, is it trying to access unread PMs in some way?
I understand it might not be pulling the data directly from the PMs verbatim, but in displaying the table structure, would it be showing a list of unread PMs that, say, someone could then access?
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure, whether I get your point. Do you mean something like"Return all PM's which never have been accessed/read by an SQL- SELECT"?

That's what I'm thinking but, as said, I don't have enough knowledge to make that call.

You could still be correct, in line with post #2; if the connection-string is exposed, anyone could use that to issue commands. It would be something used to explore the database, which could still be valid use -
More questions; is there a table with that name? Have there been other commands from the same source? Could it have been generated by a tool? (Ever seen what traffic SQLSMS causes?)
