Soooo nice:

SELECT * FROM `menu` WHERE weight != 0 ORDER BY (CASE type WHEN 118 THEN 2 WHEN 54 THEN 4 END) DESC

SCP syntax

Useful to copy directories from one server to another:

cd into the dir you want to have your data

scp -prq username@127.0.0.1:/var/www/comefromdir/ .

For example: Change Collation in a big database dump.

cat dumpname | sed s/CHARSET=utf8/CHARSET=utf8\ COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci/ > neuer_dumpname
