jQuery.unique() but for normal Arrays….

leave a comment »

It is stated in the manual that jQuery.unique() will only work for DOM objects. My problem was (well, first was to ready the manual correctly) that I needed to merge uniquely simple string arrays.

After banging my head for a long time I have finally found how to do it, and here is my solution

Array.prototype.unique = function()
{
var arrData = this;
var arrUnique= [];
for (var i = arrData .length; i--; )
{
var strData= arrData [i];
if ($.inArray(strData, arrUnique) === -1)
{
arrUnique.unshift(val);
}
}
return arrUnique;
}

Get Microsoft Sql table list form PHP

leave a comment »

One of the things I lost time today was how to get the list of table from Ms SQL server from PHP on Unix (Ubuntu).

I will write another post how to connect to it later, but currently what I have found is that MsSQL does not have “SHOW TABLES” command like MySQL do.

In order to get the list of table we need to send:
select name from sysobjects where xtype = ‘U’

This way we would get all of the user tables in our database.

Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 111

leave a comment »

For the past couple of days, for some reason I was unable to connect to the MySQL database on the system I worked, it was not a problem till now, since all I needed was a data grid, but now I had to use workbench.

The error I was getting was: Lost connection to MySQL server at ‘reading initial communication packet’, system error: 111

Well, it took me a couple of hours to gast that but I have finally found the reasone.

Early this week we have changed the bind address of the MySQL server in the my.inf file to be the external address of the system.

What i had to do was to match the address of the bind from localhost to the external one, so the correct command was:

ssh -v -f -N -L 3307:192.168.0.1:3306 user@host.server.com
