English scratches and Italian notes written by Carlo Perassi
If for some reason (sad or stupid reasons, you have a choice) you need to import into MySQL 3.x a dump made with phpMyAdmin of a MySQL 5.x DB of Joomla 1.0.x, don’t forget to change the closing sequence of the tables as:
+) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT={n} DEFAULT CHARSET={c} AUTO_INCREMENT=2 ;
-) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT={n};
where {c} and {n} are given, of course.

If you are used to selling pieces of your soul, taking time to let some free software talk with the enemy, you could find it useful to read how I get Oracle support in Tora on Edgy.
I followed what is described here (it is written in Italian but I’m sure you can understand the main steps) but I got some errors compiling Tora like
tothread.cpp:190: error: ‘toThreadStartWrapper’ was not declared in this scope
so reading this Japanese forum (I cannot read Japanese so I just got the idea of the post) I crossed my fingers, wrote this tothread.cpp patch and the compile errors disappeared.

I noticed that Daisuke Tominaga (a Ph. D. Information Engineer from Japan) translated The GNU Scientific Library Reference Manual into Japanese. It was fun to find my name in a Japanese book I’ll never understand.
