Sometimes your DB storage bloated so much, without knowing what caused it. Fortunately, there is an easy way to check using SQL Management Studio (SMSS). In this scenario, I am using SQL Management Studio 18. Open SQL Management Studio and connect to your DB Click View -> Object Explorer (F7) -> Databases From the list of databases, navigate to the DB you want to investigate Right-click on the header of the table list, choose Data Space Used (KB) Click on the Data Space header to sort based on the biggest to lowest data usage. Not surprising, usually the culprit is the log that does not have an auto-delete function.

This happened to me today. It looks like the license of my cPanel has run out and I need to access the database in urgent. Luckily the FTP access still working so I can install phpMyAdmin manually that way. However, being a lazy person, I found a quicker and less labour intensive. To open phpMyAdmin without cPanel, you will just need to open this link: http://www.yourdomain.com:2083/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/index.php Obviously, you need to change yourdomain.com to your correct domain and if your cPanel is on a different port, you need to change the port number as well, but other than that, the link should work.

If your XAMPP comes with PHP 5.5+ by default, opcache already included in the bundle, you will just need to enable it. To enable the extension: Open php.ini (by default it should be located here: C:\xampp\php\php.ini). Add this line at the end of the file: zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll" You will need to adjust the path if you installed XAMPP in non default location. Restart Apache server.

With XAMPP when you have to import a very big mysql table, even though you have increase the script time in php.ini but sometimes it still does not cut the mustard. I found out another way to do this by going through the command line interface. For this example, I am going to use ms-dos in Microsoft Windows, however you can do similar thing with SSH. Navigate to your MySQL folder (by default it should be C:\xampp\mysql\bin) Run mysql.exe with this command: mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword. Once you are in MySQL interface, then type use dataBaseName . If the dataBase is not set yet, run this command: create database databaseName; After the new database created, type use databaseName; To import, type: source pathToSQLData.  In PC, it will be something like source C:\xampp\htdocs\backup.sql It should start importing your data now. Extra tip: In the command line, you can do all sort of other things that you usually type in phpmyadmin sql section, it will be just fas...

When  you open CSV document using Microsoft Excel,  if you have a column with numeric data and leading 0, Excel will automatically delete the 0 and convert it the field type to number. To avoid Excel doing this automatically,  there are several ways. For me,  the easiest way is by importing the CSV file instead of opening it straight in Excel. To do that, follow the steps below Open a blank Microsoft Excel document. Navigate to data tab on your toolbar. Click import data from text. Find your csv file and click import. Leave the default choices - file type as delimited, start import at row 1, and file origin: MS-DOS and press Next. On the next screen, tick comma under delimiter options. You can untick or leave tab as it is. Press next. On the last screen, change the column with leading zero numeric data format as text. To do this, simply click on the column and change the column data format as Text. Click finish.It will ask where do you want to put the data...
