Hello All, An ex-coworker of my recently sent over a link to a mysql article about speeding up mass imports. unfortunately I deleted the email before I had time to actually digest it and now I am wondering if it could help with my imports.
The article suggested sorting the data ahead of time to prevent mysql from having to jump around as much. What I have is a raw data file that I pre-process to create 3 separate tab delimited files, which are then loaded into mysql using "load data infile"... I am working with a table with a primary key consisting of 2 fields. | cdr_seq_no | int(9) unsigned | NO | PRI | 0 | | | callid | char(33) | NO | PRI | | | show index from comp_cdr; +----------+------------+------------------+--------------+------------- -----+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+ ---------+ | Table | Non_unique | Key_name | Seq_in_index | Column_name | Collation | Cardinality | Sub_part | Packed | Null | Index_type | Comment | +----------+------------+------------------+--------------+------------- -----+-----------+-------------+----------+--------+------+------------+ ---------+ | comp_cdr | 0 | PRIMARY | 1 | callid | A | 3454606 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | | comp_cdr | 0 | PRIMARY | 2 | cdr_seq_no | A | 3454606 | NULL | NULL | | BTREE | | ... some sample data is : | callid | cdr_seq_no | +----------------------------------+------------+ | 0000002644e5f21f4abaa204120fad41 | 89630624 | | 0000004644e5f3db5af88248020fad41 | 89627398 | | 0000008344e5ef975e6eafe0020fad41 | 89630801 | | 0000009a44e5f2694aabb6cc12115a45 | 89614941 | | 000000e044e5f2e94dd45074020fad41 | 89619029 | | 0007bb54c8691110800100201c0060ff | 89616484 | | 002a401ae58711d382f98183346766e7 | 89621314 | | 007f2ad6df2cdb118dd2c879d6db9673 | 89631061 | | 008724bcc7691110800100201c0144ff | 89628873 | | 008bbf9dc9691110800100201c00edff | 89627287 | Any suggestions on exactly how to sort those fields before Thanks!!! -- George Law [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
