| | Yesterday, I was attempting to reload a remote copy of a postgresql database that had been corrupted. Creating the new db went well, as did reloading the data schema, but somewhere during the reload of the data itself, I lost the remote connection. After killing the now-unworking putty connection and … |

| | I know that most Delphi components have an 'on mouseover' event that activates when you move the mouse over the component. Are there any text-box style components with a 'mouse-hover' ability, where the event occurs if you park your mouse over the item in question? And if so, what's a … |

| | I've about given up on my previous problem. I [I]was[/I] beginning to think it'll be easier to do simply by dropping the user, then recreating it with the appropriate privileges next time around. Only, when I tried (as the superuser, no less) to drop the problem user, I got the …  |
| | I am trying to maintain a MySQL db which is required for business usage. I recently ran into a problem where one of our programs would blow up with an SQL error; taking a look at the error message, the program description, and the database in question reveals that the … |
