Wow!  Only 1 second to return the results now!!  That's 15x faster!!!

That's good to know.  I figured that since temp_ip referenced a 
complete SELECT statement from before, that was good enough, but no.  There's 
always something new to learn!

Hi Roy,

That did it!  Thank you so much!!!  Now I just need to study that IN 
clause to see what's going on there.

Yes, it is slow.  It takes about 15 seconds to finish, but since it's 
run once a day via cron to email me a report, I don't think it's too much of a 
problem.  However, I did try to see if I could do it, but there's an error 
somewhere in the SQL.  What am I doing wrong?

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_ip AS
(SELECT `ip`
FROM `ip_addresses`
WHERE (`time_stamp` BETWEEN date_add( CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY ) AND
CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 SECOND)
AND TRIM(`referrer`) LIKE ''
GROUP BY `ip`
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
   );
SELECT `ip`, `page`, `url`, `time_stamp`
FROM `ip_addresses`
WHERE (`time_stamp` BETWEEN date_add( CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY ) AND
CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 SECOND)
AND TRIM(`referrer`) LIKE '' AND
`ip` IN (temp_ip)
ORDER BY INET_ATON(`ip`), `time_stamp`;

Thank you Larry for the response.  Unfortunately, I can't get it to 
work.  The code above only returns one row.  It should return 35 rows.  If I 
remove the HAVING COUNT line, 52 rows are returned.

If I add COUNT(`ip`) AS UniqueIPs to the SELECT line, that shows that 
there are 52 records, but still only returns one row.  So I added GROUP BY `ip` 
and that gave me 7 rows with counts that added up to 35.  Closer, but each row 
was a group of IP addresses where there was more than one hit.  

I want each hit to be returned, not a "summary" of hits per IP, so I 
don't think GROUP BY is what I need(?).  I've run across a couple of sites that 
seem to say that an INNER JOIN would give me what I want.  If that's true, then 
that's above my head.

BTW, this on MySQL 5.5.34-cll-lve

Narrowing a SELECT statement by multiple hits

2014-02-12 Thread Jennifer
Hello,

I have the following SQL statement that I'd like to add to.  It's used 
to create a report that's emailed to me showing hits to our site that didn't 
provide a referrer.  However, I only want to report on multiple hits from the 
same IP address - not just a single hit by someone.  

How can I add a condition to only show hits by someone who's hit the 
site 2 or more times with the same IP?  I tried GROUP BY but that didn't return 
all the hits - one one per IP.

SELECT `ip`,`page`,`url`,`time_stamp`
FROM `ip_addresses` 
WHERE (`time_stamp` BETWEEN date_add( CURDATE(), INTERVAL -1 DAY ) AND 
CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 SECOND)
AND TRIM(`referrer`) LIKE '' 
ORDER BY INET_ATON(`ip`), `time_stamp`

I hope I'm explaining this correctly.

Thank you,
Jenni

RE: MySQL Daylight Savings Time Patch

2007-02-20 Thread Sun, Jennifer
Thanks. Below is the notes from the version 5 manual, does that mean
after I patch my OS, I may need to reload the timezone tables ? How I
can determine that I have to reload the timezone tables, not might need?
Or will it hurt anything if I just reload the tables anyway? Thanks. 

 

 

Note

 

Loading the time zone information is not necessarily a one-time
operation because the information changes occasionally. For example, the
rules for Daylight Saving Time in the United States, Mexico, and parts
of Canada changed in 2007. When such changes occur, applications that
use the old rules become out of date and you may find it necessary to
reload the time zone tables to keep the information used by your MySQL
server current. See the notes at the end of this section.

NTP won't solve this problem for you.

 

NTP, as well as most computer clocks, know nothing about daylight
savings

time, or about time zones.  What they know is how many seconds have
elapsed

since "the epoch".  The epoch, in the case of most UNIX-based OSes, is

midnight January 1, 1970.  I think Windows is the same.  The original
Mac OS

was 1/1/1904, for example.

 

It's up to the operating system to apply rules that determine that X
number

of seconds (as reported by the clock hardware) since the epoch
translates to

some human time, based on local settings for time zone and with any
daylight

savings time rules for that time zone applied.

 

My understanding is that MySQL needs no patch, but your underlying OS
most

likely does.  I know there have been patches issued for Solaris 2.x, 9
and

10, Windows XP, and Mac OS X 10.4, and almost certainly others.

 

HTH,

Dan

use IN  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Comparison_Operators.html#IDX1268

If you know all the values in the array are escaped and safe you can just use 
implode() to make the list for IN

$string = implode("','",$array);
$sql = "SELECT FROM $table WHERE col_name IN('$string')";
Notice I added single quotes around the string, that is because they will be missing 
since implode only sticks the string between array elements.

However, you'd need a join that makes sense for a multi-table delete.  I don't know if 
it will work with a union, I have never tried, maybe somone else will chime in.

If that was the case the error would be permission denied, not error 2003.  Error 2003

SHOW TABLE STATUS will return a field called Auto_Increment that holds the next auto

warming the cache after restart

2004-09-23 Thread Jennifer Snyder
Good Afternoon.
  I'm interested if any DBAs on the list have a set of scripts they run 
after a server restart to pull commonly accessed data into the the query 
and key caches.  I'm currently working on a script that will run various 
queries from our application against the database servers after restart, 
in hopes that it will shorten the amount of time it takes for the caches 
to fill and stabalize.

  I'm excited to see that MySQL 4.1.1 will have direct commands to do 
some of this, (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/LOAD_INDEX.html), 
but that doesn't help me now...

Is there anyone else on this list who has looked at this issue or can 
point me in the direction of more information about it?

thanks a bunch,

Subject: Re: tuning suggestion for large query


Due to the nature of myisam tables, when you are doing a query then
the table will be locked for writes.  Reads will still be permitted
until another write request is made, at which time all further reads
and writes will be blocked until the query completes.
This, however, is already happening even without "-q" and adding the
"-q" will likely significantly shorten the time to execute, depending
on exactly how large this table is.

myisam is a very limiting table type as soon as you want to do
anything more than read from or write to a single row at a time using
indexed lookups.  innodb tables do not have this problem, although
they have limitations of their own.

I did 'handler table_name read limit large_numbers'. Is there a way I can use lower 
number, but automatically loop through the number and display all of the table 
records? Thanks.

Can't help you there, sorry. I don't think that would work because MySQL is 
putting the retrieved rows into memory to get a snapshot of the table, so 
memory has to decrease. If you decrease the memory for the thread, then it 
will hit a wall.

I thought Handler would work because it is using a cursor into the table 
and shouldn't be consuming much memory. You fetch 10,000 rows at a time, 
then fetch another 10,000 rows etc.. It should only be consuming enough 
memory to hold 10,000 rows. Can you post the code showing how you're using 
Handler?

The only other thing I can suggest is to put a select statement inside of a 
loop and select using either a primary key, say rcd_id 1 to , export 
them, then select 1 to 1 and export it etc until you reach eof. 
This should be quite fast and consumes low amount of memory. I would 
recommend using the primary key instead of say "select ... LIMIT 
," because the offset will need to read over the first 'n' 
offset rows and this can be quite slow. Because you're doing only part of 
the table at a time, you won't get an exact snapshot if people are updating 
the table as you are exporting it, but it will be very low on memory.

How exactly are you running this "select * from big-table"?  From the
"mysql" command line client?  Is that what is using memory?  It isn't
clear from your post if it is the server or something else using
memory.

If it is the mysql command line client that is the issue, try adding a
"-q" parameter.  If you are using myisam tables, however, keep in mind
that table will be effectively locked for the whole duration... but if
it is the mysql command line client (which defaults to buffering
everything in memory), it may be faster to use -q anyway.

Seems like even with handler, the big query process is still consuming all my RAM and 
swap and being killed with error 
'VM: killing process mysql
__alloc_pages: 0-order allocation failed (gfp=0x1d2/0)'

I would like to find a startup parameter either for client or server to limit per

Try the Handler command with an Index if you need the results sorted. It 
may do the trick. :)

tuning suggestion for large query

2004-09-01 Thread Sun, Jennifer
Hi,

We have a job that do 'select * from big-table' on a staging mysql database, then dump 
to data warehouse, it is scheduled to run once a day, but may be run manually. Also we 
have several other small OLTP database on the same server.
When the big job run, it would use all the physical mem and swap, all other process 
slow down because of this.

I would like to limit the resource usage for each mysql client  so that they can use 
only certain max amount of RAM, and don't select everything into memory before display 
it to users. However, I couldn't find any parameter would let me implement it.
Anybody ever encounter the same issue before? Please share your experience.

Thanks.

RE: (simple select) bug? version problem? or just bad SQL?

2004-03-22 Thread Jennifer Horne
I think you need to be using:

select * from clients_tb where active='on' AND first_name LIKE '%ja%' OR
middle_name LIKE '%ja%' OR last_name LIKE '%ja%'";

Your query is looking for names where the first, middle and last name
all have 'ja' in them.  If you're looking for names where -any- of them
can have 'ja' in them, use the OR.

Setting SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 for MySQL server

2004-02-25 Thread Jennifer Horne
We've recently started using MySQL for customers with a large number of
records on their systems. 
 
For the first time, one of our customers has gone over the 4 million
record mark, and we're running into some problems with the MAX_JOIN_SIZE
and the SQL_BIG_SELECTS.  Using the control center, or command line
option, we can successfully 'Set SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1' and solve the
problem.
 
So the question is, is there a way to set the server so that the default
is SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1?  Setting it as a variable in the my.cnf file
doesn't seem to work, it causes the server to be unable to start.  Is it
something that needs to be set through the application accessing the
database each time it opens a new connection?  Or can we set it through
the application globally?  Forgive me if this is an obvious answer, I
have spent a long time searching the documentation and other places
online, but can't seem to find the solution.
 
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
 
Jen

You could add it as a third index and see which works better, but on 18
million rows that's going to probably take quite a bit of time.  From
looking at your query it seems like it would be a better index than the
current one.

> 2. what is the difference if I change the query to

I could be wrong, but I believe the query won't use the index if you use
lower().  Run an explain on this query and see.

Mysql is only case sensitive on binary and blob fields.

I am confused by your question.  It think it is missing words.  If you are
trying to select all records from first_table that do not have a record in
second_table you can use a left join and is null...

SELECT * from first_table LEFT JOIN second_table USING (primary_key) WHERE
second_table.primary_key IS NULL


Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see why you would want to
split your tables up that way.  You can't be saving that much room, and I
don't think it really goes with standard normalization conventions.

It could be nothing, it's just the only pattern I have noticed.
Unfortunately my systems knowledge isn't very strong, so I don't know if my
suggestions are completely insane.  The one thing I was thinking was it's
has something to with releasing a lot of resources at once and not
signalling that they are available again so the request just waits and
waits.  For some reason I'm thinking semaphores and starvation, but the only
experience I really have is one OS theory course a few years ago.

A crash was recreated by running a specific query.  When myisamchk ran upon
restart it said the index file for the table that was being queried was
corrupt.  After careful observation, it was discovered that this is often
the case, indexes for tables mentioned in the update log right before a
crash were corrupt upon restart.  I'm more inclined to believe that they are
corrupt due to us killing mysqld with the tables still open, since we can't
authenticate to shutdown.  We also get a lot of table handler errors from
myisamchk after a crash and kill, go figure.

We aren't running Linux threads.  We didn't seem to be experiencing any of
the issues it helps.  For a while we'd only have this happen once a month,
then it was once a week.  Lately it has been a few times a day, but everyone
is messing with box.  In my opinion, for us it definitely happens when an
expensive query is run on an active table.  Looking at the logs, there's
always a bunch of disconnects all at once right before connections stop.
I've been on the box at the mysql prompt quite a few times when it has
happened and there was always a large amount of threads waiting for a lock
to clear, and as soon as they went through nothing could connect, but this
doesn't happen everytime we have a large queue, so there must be something
else in the mix.  If you think any info I have might help you, let me know.
I'd love to hear any ideas you have.

Corrupt index = mysqld freeze?

2003-08-14 Thread Jennifer Goodie
I have a stand alone database server.  It is a RAID5 running mySQL 3.23.55
on FreeBSD 4.1 and has 768MB of RAM, I'm not sure on the processor speed,
but I think it's a P3 1GHz.  It has several tables with 20-40 million rows
and a ton of smaller tables with less than 1 million rows.  All tables are
MyISAM and we have fewer than 10 queries per second.  The super large tables
are write only for the most part, with most reads taking place in off peak
hours (a cron to generate aggregate data).  The smaller tables are
read/write.

We've been experiencing a problem where mysqld stops responding to new
connections.  Any active connection is fine and can run any query it wants,
but all new connections get stuck in the "authenticating user" phase.  CPU
and load drop to about zero when this happens, so I don't think it's the
notorious threading issue.  This "freeze" happens when more than 10-12
connections drop at the same time, usually when a queue caused by a table
lock clears out.

One of my coworkers insists that this is due to corrupt indexes, stating
that if an index points to a location outside of the record set mysql gets
confused and hangs.  It has also been stated that multicolumn indexes are a
problem, especially if they contain more than 3 columns.  This goes against
everything I know about mysql.  In my experience if there is file corruption
an error gets returned promptly.  I also believe multicolumn indexes are a
valuable feature.  I have been told that I need to get rid of all
multicolumn indexes in order to make the server stable.  Needless to say, I
am not very happy with this solution and don't have a lot of faith in it
working.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this, and if so what did you
do to fix it?  Anyone want to weigh in on the index theory because it
doesn't really sound right to me, but I'm not exactly an expert.

I think since you are selecting MAX(esn) is doesn't get returned as esn, it
gets returned as MAX(esn), I could be wrong.  A simple fix would be to get
rid of the third argument you are passing to mysql_result since your query
is only returning one field you do not need an offset or name.  Or you can
change the query to  "SELECT MAX(esn) as max_esn FROM address"; and then use
max_esn as your offset/fieldname.

Or you can look at the function index
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Function_Index.html

It lists all the functions, so whatever function you are looking for, it is
usually there.

Since you are changing the password you should be updating not inserting.

Select max(id) from myTable should never be used to get the last insert id.
On a high traffic table you are not guaranteed it will be the ID for the
record you just inserted, another could have been inserted between the two
queries. Where as last_insert_id is per connection, so you don't have to
worry about getting someone else's ID.

If starttime is the timestamp data type, and the first timestamp in the row,
it will automatically update every time you update the row.  This is not a
bug, it is expected behavior.  Read up on the timestamp data type
(http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/DATETIME.html).  If it is a type other than
timestamp (you did not specify), then this could be a bug.

RE: How to exporting MySQL table for web publishing

2003-06-05 Thread Jennifer Goodie
>Could you please advise me on how to export data in

> for web publishing?

If you need the data in a mysql table displayed in an HTML table, a quick
and dirty way to get a static file is to run this from the command line...
#mysql -uroot -p -H -e"SELECT * FROM Employee" Intranet > employees.html

In this instance I am putting Intranet.Employee into an html file named
eployees.  It is just basic html for a table, you'll need to go in and add
stuff like head and body tags.  If you want it to be dynamic you are going
to need to develop something using a scripting language.  PHP and Perl could
both easily accomplish this task, as could a multitude of other languages.

They are only sending one.  It is proper form when replying to reply to both

copy as well as the copy sent directly to you.

I think their problem was the fact that you admitted you were just asking

figuring out how to do it yourself.  It is annoying when people don't put
effort into helping themselves and just expect to have everything spoon fed

finding out the answer to their questions before posting to have to sort

So don't subscribe to the list, check one of the many online archives when
you feel like checking them (I like http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/ ).  I like
getting posts in my email box, that is why I subscribed the the mailing
list, to get them as email.  If it were a web forum I would have to wait for
everyone to check the forum after I posted my question, then check back
after they had checked in order to get replies.  This way, people get my
question immediately and the answers come to me immediately.

So only subscribe to the ones that interest you.  I have Microsoft Office

The amount of people on the list checking a single website constantly
(messages come in all day long, you'd have to check often, even more
frequently if you were waiting for an answer) would probably overload a
webserver and make it slow to respond.  The amount of hardware you'd have to
throw at it would be a lot more than required to run a mailing list.

RE: granting privileges using wildcards

2003-03-26 Thread Jennifer Goodie
That would grant the user select on everything in every database no matter
what host they are coming from.  He wants to only grant on specific tables,
and did not mention anything about allowing from all hosts.

To answer the original question, I have tried a lot of different ways, but
the only solution I have found is granting on the entire database or
specifing each table in the tables_priv table.  I go with the second option
because although it is more work I like only allowing as much access as
needed.  The wild cards just don't seem to work in this instance.  Has
anybody had any success with it?

Is it possible to grant options to a user using wildcards. For

let's say that I have a database named 'db', and a user 'admin' who has
full privileges. The user 'admin' will add and delete tables to 'db' but
any table that is added/deleted will have the following name format
'table_[A-z0-9]'. What I would like to be able to do is grant select
privileges to any and all of the tables 'table_*' to a user 'non_admin'.


Is this possible and if it is, how can I do that?

Thank you for your help!

RE: upgrading mysql

2003-03-21 Thread Jennifer Goodie
On a linux box you do not have to stop everything like on Windows.  We
always leave our current version running, install the upgrade in a new
location with a new data dir (a snapshot of the live one).  We run the new
install on a different port than the live install so we can test it and what
not before switching over.  We always leave our installs in a directory that
gives the version info like mysql-3.23.55-pc-linux-i686 and then symlink a
directory named mysql to the version that should be live.  So when we decide
it is time to go live with the new install we change the conf to point to
the correct data dir and to be on the right port, stop mysqld, change the
symlink and then restart with the new version.  This allows for easy
rollbacks just in case.

We have had really poor luck with building from source on our VA Linux box
and have used the binaries for the last two or three upgrades.  Our builds
were really unstable and buggy under a high load, but the binaries have been
great.

Hope that helps

I just finished a practice upgrade (on a back-up server) myself and will
be upgrading the real server during off-peak hours soon.  We are running
win2k servers so I can't speak directly to any linux issues, but
generically speaking, upgrading to 3.23.56 was easy:  I downloaded the
installation files to my server and unzipped them.  Stopped the MySQL
service AND mysqladmin (you will have errors if you don't do this!).
Then ran the setup.exe, restarted the service, checked mysql admin and
saw that the version had been updated, and smiled.  I would imagine if
you follow the corresponding linux-steps, you should have no problems.

Good luck,
Tab

RE: mysqld got signal 11; (CRASH max-3.23.51) What do I need to do to clean up?

2003-03-21 Thread Jennifer Goodie
I wouldn't run 3.23.51, there have been major security patches since then.
I always mess up the byte math, but it looks to me like you have 2 gigs of
ram in your box and you are allocating 2.3 gigs to mysql.  With 263
connections you would have been using about 1.4 gigs, if you have anything
else running on the box, this might be a problem.  Whenever I've had a
server getting the signal 11 crash adjusting my my.cnf has solved the
problem.  I would read the manual section on server tuning.  I don't think
you want mysql to use swap, I don't know, I try to stick with just under the
total amount of ram in a box that is only running mySQL and under 40% in a
box that is not dedicated (depending on what else is running).  Of course
there's not really any real logic, math or science to that, it's just what I
have found works on our boxes.

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.

RE: Strange problem on the difference of mysql connection between cgi and shell

2003-03-19 Thread Jennifer Goodie
It is not strange, it is expected behavior.  A browser can only handle so
many lines of html before getting all wonky.  Running a query that takes
over 5 minutes to run in a web application is a bad idea, no one is going to
want to sit there and wait for it and if there is no output for an extended
period of time newer browsers will be "helpful" and re-request the page,
causing lock issues and such.  I would suggest trying to speed up the query,
you need to make sure you are using indexes. or you might need to use
summary tables.  You will also want to only display a portion of your result
set at a time as 10,000 records is probably going to crash browsers.  You
will also need to flush output to prevent the browser from re-requesting,
you also might want to put something in to prevent the user from hitting
reload (such as checking at the beginning to see if the query is already
running, most of the time web users do not understand that for every time
they hit reload their wait time is going to increase.

Subject: Strange problem on the difference of mysql connection between
cgi and shell


Hi,

I am coding a cgi program to query the records from the mysql tables.  When
I execute the sql query (which is a join operation on two tables) in the
mysql shell, the results are shown correctly.  However, if I use cgi script
to execute the same query, the web browser just crashed after a while (5 or
6 minutes which is the same as the query execution time ).   I am guessing
the problem is relevant to the larger result (more than 10,000 records),
because if I execute the query against another two tables which have the
same structure but contain the less records, both cgi script and shell
method can work.

So anybody can help me figure out the problem?  I have adjusted the
configuration of mysqld to be a huge one but still failed.

how to show chinese in phpmyadmin

2003-03-03 Thread Jennifer
Hi,

I am new in programming. So hope to get some helps from your precious
experiences.

I am using mysql-3.23 in my FreeBsd4.3 (English version)  server.

And I am also using phpMyAdmin to view and manage all the databases, tables
and fields from a workstation IE browser to access my server, which is very
convenient and straight forward.

I designed some web pages, which allow me to input data records to my
database. I can type simplified Chinese and English records from a
workstation into my database, and I also can retrieve  those Chinese data
records from an workstation's IE browser and those Chinese characters can be
shown properly, on the condition of those pages' charset is gb2312.

 There is one problem that when I use phpMyAdmin to access my databases, and
I found that those Chinese records in the table only show
ÏÖÓ®¢¿â´æ»õÎïÊÇ·ÉÂíÅ穖àºÍÄÏ°©—Å穖à
Which is unreadable.

Can anybody tell me how I can fix this problem?

Thanks very much

Jennifer

Because I have a column that is normally NULL since I normally don't
have information about that column. Occasionally I acquire information
about it and assign it to a category. AUTO_INCREMENT is useful because
I don't have to think about what the next new category will be.
Instead of NULL I could use 0, if I don't have information, but NULL
would be the more natural state for lack of information. No biggy
though.

You could have PHP escape it for you.  Look into the addslashes function.
It adds slashes to escape characters.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.addcslashes.php

If your server has magic quotes turned on it will automatically escape
characters, but it is not a good idea to rely on that.

This is probably a dumb question, but are you running all the queries in
eod_stocks?  I ran all the queries and they worked fine.  I undotted the
select though because my database was not called eod_stocks.  Since you did
not include the part where you select the database to run these queries in,
one cannot assume you are creating, deleting and inserting into the same

RE: Using SET in the INSERT statement

2003-02-06 Thread Jennifer Goodie
Are you referring to the data type SET or the Command SET?  The manual page
you point to is talking about the data type, but usually when seen in an
insert it is the Command.  I can't recall seeing the datatype referred to in
an INSERT, but maybe my brain isn't fully on yet today.

RE: Opposite selection...

2003-02-06 Thread Jennifer Goodie
A Left join using IS NULL will work.  You can get the syntax and see an
example in the manual
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/JOIN.html

>From the maunal...
If there is no matching record for the right table in the ON or USING part
in a LEFT JOIN, a row with all columns set to NULL is used for the right
table. You can use this fact to find records in a table that have no
counterpart in another table:
mysql> SELECT table1.* FROM table1
->LEFT JOIN table2 ON table1.id=table2.id
->WHERE table2.id IS NULL;
This example finds all rows in table1 with an id value that is not present
in table2 (that is, all rows in table1 with no corresponding row in table2).
This assumes that table2.id is declared NOT NULL, of course. See section
5.2.6 How MySQL Optimises LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN.

Ok I'm stumped on what I think should be a somewhat simple query. What I
have so far is a list of names that is in a list of projects AND in a the
main contact list by doing the following query:
SELECT p.name, p.company FROM contacts c, projects p WHERE
CONCAT(c.firstName, " ", c.lastName) = p.name AND c.company = p.company

This is good and works correctly, what I need now is the opposite of this.
The names that are in the project list but NOT in the contact list. If I
had some subqueries this would be a simple NOT IN :) but as I dont (mysql

Thanks for any pointers/advice.

Hi,

I was already questioning my sanity, but the problem below is
reproduceable:

This is how my table looks:
mysql> describe T_ORDH;
--+--+-+++
Field |Type  |Null |Key |Default |Extra
--+--+-+++
PK_ID |int(10) unsigned  | |PRI |NULL|auto_inc
ERSTELL_DATUM |timestamp(14) |YES  ||NULL|
STATUS|smallint(5) unsigned  | ||0   |

If I do
mysql> update T_ORDH set STATUS=2 where PK_ID=26272;
ERSTELL_DATUM is set to the current date. I know that a timestamp
takes the current time, if set it to NULL, but since I'm not touching
it, it shouldn't change, should it?

A quick workaround is
mysql> update T_ORDH set STATUS=2, ERSTELL_DATUM=ERSTELL_DATUM
-> where PK_ID=26272;

The big question: Is it a bug or a feature?

RE: Joins are slow

2003-01-22 Thread Jennifer Goodie
Try a straight join with the cases table first.  You have to play with your
queries to get the best results.

Creating a temporary, as you mentioned, table might be a very good option in
this case, but you need to make sure that your programming takes into
account that your page might be hit more than once at a single time so your
queries don't collide, i.e. someone is looking for 1999 cases and someone
else is looking for 2000 cases so both are in your temp table and you're
joining without a where or something, it seems obvious but I've seen it not
accounted for.  Another thing that might get you is populating your temp
table via select into can cause MySQL to use temp tables on disk instead of
memory if the data set is very large and your server is not optimised for
it, that will take speed way down.

Subject: Joins are slow


Maybe I'm dumb for saying this, but sql joins seems expensive to do in
terms of performance (yes, I indexed the joined fields). If I do a query
search of a 2,600,000 record defendant table WITHOUT a join (SELECT
DISTINCT CaseNumber FROM Defendants WHERE Defendant LIKE "owen%" OR
Defendant LIKE "pitts%" OR Defendant LIKE "general%";). Performance is
generally zippy at .53 seconds (which ends up pulling about 34,000 rows).

HOWEVER, once I join this table with the much smaller [Cases] table
(about 140,000 rows), performance plummets to 8.79 seconds! Quite a
drop! The SQL statement is: 'SELECT Defendants.CaseNumber FROM
Defendants, Cases WHERE Cases.CaseNumber = Defendants.CaseNumber AND
Filed <= "1999-01-01" AND (Defendant LIKE "owen%" OR Defendant LIKE
"pitts%" OR Defendant LIKE "general%");'. I get about 10,500 rows
returned here, but man, what an increase in time.

So my main question is: Is this degradation in performance to be
expected with a join? What I am thinking about doing is perhaps doing
two smaller queries instead of one larger one. My first query can just
query the very large Defendants table without a join and create a
temporary table of CaseNumbers (takes about .53 seconds). Then I can
join that temporary table into the much smaller [Cases] table and then
run that part of the query (which takes about 1.23 seconds).

So bottom line:
Results of big query with one join: 8.79 seconds
Results of creating two smaller queries: 1.76 seconds (.53 seconds +
1.23 seconds).

So I am thinking about optimizing the query in my PHP program to make
two smaller queries instead of one bigger query. Is this a standard
thing to do to increase speed? Or am I doing something stupid and
inefficient in the join that I am not aware of?

Are you creating new tables or importing from an old application?  If you
are building something from scratch it is a really really bad idea to use
spaces in the names or start putting in special characters, you're just
making more work for yourself, and anyone that works on the application
after you is going to want to strangle you :)

Using an uppercase letter to signify a new word seems to be a pretty
consistently used convention, so employeeInformation or
departmentEmployeeXref would be common (I like upper cases on the first
letter too, but that seems to not be as common).

If you are importing an old application into MySQL and need to use '-', you

Is that a problem with the GUI application, a problem with a user not
knowing enough, or a problem with MySQL?  I'd say it is not a problem with
MySQL, but with either the user or the GUI.  A few years ago when I was
first starting out using MySQL I had a table with a bad column name, when we
upgraded the name no longer worked in queries because MySQL became a little
bit stricter in regards to reserved words and I didn't know to back-tick
escape them.  That was my fault for picking a bad column name, it came from
lack of knowledge.  I should have never used the column name and had I known
more I wouldn't have.  It is not the software's job to teach me, it is my
job to learn, and from that experience I learned what reserved words are and
that it is not a great idea to use them.

I'm sure MySQL allows use of reserved words in order to be more compliant
with other RDBMS.  MS SQL will allow a column to be named 'field' and be
indexed without even emitting an angry beep.  Let's say I have an
application written using MS SQL and I decide I want to convert to MySQL.
If I have to change all of my column and key names I am going to be pretty
angry and will be on this list complaining about what a shoddy product MySQL
is when compared to MS SQL.  That would hardly encourage more people to
start using this great application.

I don't think I should be limited in what I can do because of the lack of
knowledge of other people.  MySQL should not be written considering the
lowest common denominator. Features, reliability, stability, performance and
compatibility are far more important factors in designing a top-notch
product if you ask me.   There are plenty of places for beginners to gain
knowledge about the product: this list; the site; web tutorials; and books,
to name a few.  There's also experience, which is probably one of the best
teachers.  I don't think it is wise to pander to an audience that doesn't
want to think on their own, then you not only limit progress but also
alienate the majority of target users.  This of course is just my personal
(not-very-well-thought-out) opinion and I'm sure a lot of people disagree.

if you escape strings containing hyphens with a backtick they work.  That
doesn't mean it is a good idea to use them.

You can try running your dump with the quote-names flag, maybe.  I haven't
tried it to see what the output is.  Run mysqldump's help to see what all
the flags are and what they mean.

Hi all,

I recently had to restore from a backup and discovered that mysql didn't
want to re-create a table which had the minus symbol (-) in it, eg

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Postcodes;
CREATE TABLE Postcodes (
   DanPK mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
   MyStamp timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
   Postcode smallint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
   Location varchar(100) default NULL,
   State char(3) default NULL,
   RegionID mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
   PRIMARY KEY  (DanPK),
   UNIQUE KEY IDX_Postcode-Location (Postcode,Location)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

I had added the index with MySQLCC (I think) and the database had been
working fine as far as I could tell (minus the crash this morning). The
table def is from mysqldump --opt, which I use each night, in
combination with the --log-update option to assist in disaster recovery.

When I tried to restore from the backup (mysqldump output) it gave me a
syntax error around the -Location bit.

But it _did_ let me create the index like this before. Thinking about it
more, I probably shouldn't have used a minus. I can see why that would
be reserved. Any chance of enforcing that in alter table commands (which
I would have used to get the index there), or is it considered too
expensive to do these kinds of checks?

RE: how to have varying number of fields?

2003-01-14 Thread Jennifer Goodie
Sounds a lot like the grape blends in different wines question posted last
week. :)

You'll need a cross ref table with a one to many relationship and possibly a
field that says what the person did.

like
| SongID | ComposerID  | Role   |
++-++
|1   |   1 | Poem   |
|1   |   2 | Music  |
|1   |   3 | Poem   |
|1   |   1 | Lyrics |


Just a suggestion, You might want more fields or different names.

Search on last week's answers, I believe the thread was called "Database
Design" or something like that.  I'm sure there's not a lot of posts that
mention grapes and wines on the list.

Hash: SHA1

Hi, all --

The Subject: may be a bit misleading, so let me start from scratch.  I'm
creating a sheet music catalog for our church, and one of the things I'll
want to track is who wrote it.  [Actually, we have music composers and
arrangers and poet authors as well as particular biblical sources, but I
think that the first three can be classed together.]  Of course, Martin
Broones does a lot of the music, and Avelyn Kerr a lot, and I wouldn't
want to repeat that, so of course I need a 'composers' table (yeah, it
should probably be a more rounded name, but so what :-)

The problem comes when I have a piece of music whose words or music are
by two people, such as "Music by Martin Broones.  Poem by John and Jane
Doe." -- when I already have entries for John and Jane on their own.

Do I just bite the bullet and make another record for "John and Jane",
filling in their names and dates and styles and other 'composers' fields
in duplicate, or is there a way to have my 'pieces' table, listing all of
the pieces and their attributes, somehow point to *both* of those
composers in the foreign 'composer' field?


TIA & HAND

Good grief; even Dan's qsecretary is better than this mysql query thing!

What exaclty do you mean?  http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/SHOW_STATUS.html
states that the com_ is just how many times the  command has been

For instance, let's say that wine XYZ has 80% GrapeA, and 20% GrapeB.  Since
my grape variety would presumably be a foreign key in the Wine table, how
could I specify a certain *percentage* of a foreign key?  I've tried hashing
this out in numerous ways, including the addition of a "Blend" table with
multiple primary keys, but anyway I slice it, there will still be an
abundance of NULLs.  For while the majority of wines may only contain one
grape, there could be wines that have up to 5 or 6 in varying percentages.

RE: converting text to hypertext

2003-01-08 Thread Jennifer Goodie
HTML doesn't just see a URL and automatically make it a hyperlink it is not
"helpful" like MS products.  So what you are seeing is expected behavior.  I
would alter the while loop to look like this...


while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($resultID)){ #fetch_array adds little
overhead and gives you an associative array that is easy to work with
print "\n\t$row[Port]\n\t$row[Application]\n\t$row[URL]\n\n";
}

I do not know your column names and have assumed they are Port,Application,
and URL.  I am probably wrong, put your column names in their place.  By
selecting * and just looping through the fields returned you are relying on
them being returned in a certain order, while that will work, it is bad
practice.  It also made the code confusing and hard to read and didn't
really save you any typing.  This is just a quick solution, I did not check
the html or debug the code or look for security flaws, or put logic in place
for poorly formed URLs, you should be able to handle that.

RE: Re: Load local data infile problem

2003-01-08 Thread Jennifer Goodie
>Imagine an ISP giving every customer write privileges for the mysql/bin
directory ... ;-/

Why would they have to do that? The file does not need to be in that
directory.  In order to use LOAD DATA INFILE without LOCAL the file just
needs to be somewhere on the server that mysqld is running on and be
readable by the mysqld user.  I load my files in from my home directory
because I don't think the mysql base dir and data dir are a great spot to
arbitrarily put files (and I don't have permission to them w/o su-ing).  If
you are connecting via localhost, have FILE permission on the DB, and can
create a readable file somewhere on that server, you would be fine.

We do not allow LOCAL on our servers as we are running replication and
3.23.54 won't support it.  I do not have write permission to any directories
except my home directory.  I have never run into any problems with LOAD DATA
that were not my own fault, usually it is error 13 because I typed the path
wrong or didn't chmod the file.

Obviously this does not negate the fact that LOCAL is sometimes needed, but
allowing all users to write to mysql/bin is not needed at all for any reason
that I can see.  Maybe I am missing something?

>From the docs -- http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/LOAD_DATA.html
"If the LOCAL keyword is specified, the file is read from the client host.
If LOCAL is not specified, the file must be located on the server. (LOCAL is
available in MySQL Version 3.22.6 or later.)"

call these table1 and table2. The query uses both tables:

SELECT  FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON (table1.ID =
table2.table1_ID) WHERE ;

table2.table1_ID is just an int that matches an ID from table1. This way I
can get several values from 2 tables with one query. This works great when
table 1 has 100 entries and table2 has 1,000 entries. But when i increase
both by a factor of 10, the query never returns anything. I let it sit for
10 mins before giving up, and my CPU usage is at 100% the whole time.  Any

RE: Severe performace problem linking tables with mysql

2002-12-18 Thread Jennifer Goodie
Have you tried optimizing your query?  It is more likely that the problem is
a poorly optimized query and/or poorly tuned server than it is mySQL.  Joins
will be slow if you do not take the time to figure out the best way to do
what you are trying to accomplish.  Forcing the table order can really speed
up joins as can making sure the tables are properly indexed and that the
indices are being used by the queries.  You also might want to think about
tuning your server variables to achieve optimum performance.

The easiest place to start is running an explain on your query to see what
you can change to make it quicker.

Subject: Severe performace problem linking tables with
mysql

PLATFORM: 3.23.52-max-nt with Windows 2000 professional (default table type)

I have discovered a performace issue when joining several tables together.
The performance is extremely poor when performing select queries using the
WHERE clause and joining the tables with the pk_media_id = fk_media_id
etc... I guess this is what people might think about when considering using
mysql. With SQL 2000 Windows Server, and ACCESS, there was no loss in
performace. 4 of my tables are cross reference tables as such:

pk=primary key, fk= foreign key

MediasMediaAuthorsAuthors

pk_media_id   fk_media_id, fk_author_id   pk_author_id

(Many authors for each media)

RE: remote tcp connection failure

2002-12-17 Thread Jennifer Goodie
It sounds like you need to edit your hosts.allow file to allow from the IP
you want to connect from.

add either

mysqld : ###.###.###.### : allow
or
mysqld : all : allow

I'm not a sysadmin though, so you might want to do a search on the proper
way to do this.

Subject: remote tcp connection failure


Hello list,

I have been running MySQL 3.23.51 on a 4.6 FreeBSD box for some time
with no problem.

Recently, a client requested the ability to connect from remote.  Until
now, I only allow connections from localhost and no TCP port open.

I have been going through the docs trying to figure out how to get tcp
working, and/or ssh.  I can ssh into the box no problem and use my ssh
client to create a socket local:3306 to remote:3306.  I also restarted
MySQLd to allow tcp:

./mysql-server.sh start

20503  p0  I  0:00.01 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld
--user=mysql --port=3306
20521  p0  S  0:00.03 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr/local
--datadir=/var/db/mysql --user=mysq (screen chops off)

mysql client from command line of server connects fine at localhost.
php applications use mysql server fine via user/pass at localhost.

still cant connect to server from remote using same user/pass.  the user
has perms
to allow connects from my remote ip (host).

Connection Failed: 2013 lost connection to MySQL server during query.

This problem is when I try the tunnell AND ALSO when I try to connect
directly to the box from a remote ip via TCP.  My username/pass has
permissions to allow tcp connect from my remote host IP.  For now, if I
could just get tcp to accept connections from a remote ip without ssh
would be a nice start.  Can anyone help?  I have read the docs and still
cant get it to work.  Any ideas?

Thanks

kris
