Pascal:  It should not have a problem with parentheses, any valid CSV should work. Is the file Ending ".csv"? Can you send me the output of the following Terminal command?
qlmanage -d1 -t file.csv

Ted Fischer:  This is a fantastic plugin! Unfortunately, it doesn't work with csv data generated from FileMaker Pro. I wonder if it's because FMP encloses the data in parentheses. Is there any way to fix that?
Thanks, Ted

Pascal:  Nice tip, thanks! Looks like rsnapshot.org was also inspired by Mike Rubel's post, but done a little more professional than my version. :)

zero:  You might be interested in rsnapshot(http://rsnapshot.org). It can do snapshot backups using rsync. Timemachine might be the best comparison to its features... It's available through macports.

Bogdan:  With git, repository history rewriting is possible, but I have never tried that (only using git for less than a year).
Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. In some environments (like whole server backup) using git/svn for backup is not really a good idea.

Again and again and again Installing DBDmysql under OS X

Wednesday, October 7th 2009 - 17:11
With every new release of Mac OS X, the need to re-install Perl's MySQL driver "DBD::mysql" arises again. And every single time it does not work out of the box (i.e. using cpan). Since I'm giving up using Perl and write my new scripts (yes, also the Shell scripts) in PHP, partially because of problems like this, I was able to postpone dealing with this problem, which arised after installing Snow Leopard - up until today.

If you have the problem it is most likely (and has always been) due to wrong paths to MySQL's header files. The fix is simple, and if you google for it people were complaining about the same problem even under OS X 10.2. Here's the solution: Build the thing manually, giving the right paths to Makefile.PL:

$ perl Makefile.PL \ --cflags="-I/usr/local/mysql/include -Os -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -fno-common" \ --libs="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm"
