SQL (Structured Query Language) is a computer language used to create, retrieve, update and delete data from relational database management systems. SQL has been standardised by both ANSI and ISO.
SQL is commonly spoken either as the names of the letters ess-cue-el, or like the word sequel. The official pronunciation of SQL according to ANSI is ess-cue-el. However, each of the major database products (or projects) containing the letters SQL has its own convention: MySQL is officially and commonly pronounced "My Ess Cue El"; PostgreSQL is expediently pronounced postgres (being the name of the predecessor to PostgreSQL); and Microsoft SQL Server is commonly spoken as Microsoft-sequel-server.
Common MediaWiki MySQL queries
Insert into interwiki
INSERT INTO interwiki (iw_prefix,iw_url,iw_local) VALUES('example','http://www.example.org/$1',0);
To delete entry;
DELETE FROM interwiki WHERE iw_prefix LIKE "example";
Backup and compress DB & FS
- <bash>mysqldump -u user --password='**********' -A > | 7za a -si backupfile.sql.7z</bash>
- <bash>tar cf - directory | 7za a -si backupfile.t7z</bash>
Reset a password
UPDATE user SET user_password=md5(CONCAT('184-',md5('password'))) WHERE user_id=184;
Reset or set a page hit counter
UPDATE page SET page_counter=0 WHERE page_title='Main_Page';
Adjust user groups
INSERT INTO user_groups (ug_user,ug_group) VALUES(999,'sysop');
