Use SQL with PennMUSH
Revised: 24 May 2004
As of version 1.7.7p32, PennMUSH includes functions and commands that
can access SQL databases. Currently, the following databases are
supported:
* MySQL
This document explains how to use (or avoid) SQL with PennMUSH, and covers
the following issues:
I. Compiling with or without SQL
II. Mush configuration overview
III. SQL setup tips
I. Compiling withi MySQL
The Configure script distributed with PennMUSH automatically detects
the MySQL client library (libmysqlclient) and attempts to link
them into the executable, defining HAS_MYSQL in config.h
If you want to avoid linking these libraries on systems where they
are present, use the '-D no_mysql' switch to Configure.
If you installed Mysql from a binary package (e.g. rpm or apt),
you should be sure that your system also has the development
package (usuallyl mysql-dev or mysql-devel).
If you think you have mysql libraries and header files but Configure
isn't finding them, they may be in an unusual location on your system.
Creating symbolic links from the header directory to /usr/include/mysql
and from the libraries in /usr/lib (or adding the mysql library directory
to your /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig) are the easiest ways
to fix this.
II. Mush configuration overview
mush.cnf includes these directives that configure the SQL support:
sql_platform provides the name of the SQL database server software
that will be used for connections. It current takes one of two
values: "disabled" (no SQL) or "mysql". If not specified, it
defaults to disabled.
sql_host gives the name of the host running the SQL server.
It defaults to 127.0.0.1, which makes a TCP connection to the
local host. The keyword "localhost" instead makes a domain socket
(Unix) or named pipe (Windows) connection.
sql_database gives the name of the database that contains the
MUSH's tables. This must be specified and there is no default.
sql_username provides a username to connect to the SQL server
with. If no specified, a null username will be used, which many
SQL servers treat as "the user running this (pennmush) process".
sql_password provides the password for the user. It defaults to
no password.
III. SQL setup tips
You will have to set up the appropriate database on the SQL server,
and username permitted to perform operations in that database,
and a password for that username. This is a platform-specific process.
A. MySQL platform
Easiest way is:
% mysql_setpermission --user root REQUIRED
--host <mysql host> --port <mysql port> OPTIONAL, OR:
--socket <unix domain socket> OPTIONAL
######################################################################
## Welcome to the permission setter 1.2 for MySQL.
## made by Luuk de Boer
######################################################################
What would you like to do:
1. Set password for a user.
2. Add a database + user privilege for that database.
- user can do all except all admin functions
3. Add user privilege for an existing database.
- user can do all except all admin functions
4. Add user privilege for an existing database.
- user can do all except all admin functions + no create/drop
5. Add user privilege for an existing database.
- user can do only selects (no update/delete/insert etc.)
0. exit this program
Make your choice [1,2,3,4,5,0]: 2 <==========
Which database would you like to add: mush
The new database mush will be created
What username is to be created: mush <==========
Username = mush
Would you like to set a password for [y/n]: y <==========
What password do you want to specify for : <==========
Type the password again: <==========
We now need to know from what host(s) the user will connect.
Keep in mind that % means 'from any host' ...
The host please: localhost <==========
Would you like to add another host [yes/no]: no <==========
Okay we keep it with this ...
The following host(s) will be used: localhost.
######################################################################
That was it ... here is an overview of what you gave to me:
The database name : mush
The username : mush
The host(s) : localhost
######################################################################
Are you pretty sure you would like to implement this [yes/no]: yes
