Based on my last post MySQL LDAP Authentication Plugin, I received feedback from MySql Joro Blog by Oracle.

They told me:

Insted of writing (and having to deply) your own client plugin you probably can reuse the cleartext client side plugin, specially because it’s available in a number of mysql clients already. Check sql-common/client.c on MySQL 5.5+ for details.

This is very useful because you only need to put the plugin in server side, and in the client side you only need to check if the clear password plugin is enabled.

Ejemplo práctico de paginación de resultados en Php

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");
mysql_select_db("dev");
$noRegistros = 3; //Registros por página
$pagina = 1; //Por default, página = 1
if($_GET["pagina"]) //Si hay página por ?pagina=valor, lo asigna
    $pagina = $_GET["pagina"];
echo "Pagina: ".$pagina."<hr>";

//Utilizo el comando LIMIT para seleccionar registros
$sSQL = "SELECT * FROM alumnos LIMIT ".($pagina-1)*$noRegistros.",$noRegistros";
$result = mysql_query($sSQL) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //Exploracion comun de registros
    echo $row["nombre"]."<br>";
}

//Imprimiendo páginas
$sSQL = "SELECT count(*) FROM alumnos"; //Cuento el total de registros
$result = mysql_query($sSQL);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$totalRegistros = $row["count(*)"]; //Almaceno el total en una variable

echo "<hr>Total registros: ".$totalRegistros.", Pagina: ";

$noPaginas = …
