Re: InnoDB and rsync

2011-01-24 Thread Johan De Meersman
I suspect the same trick might work with InnoDB (with pretty much the same caveats), but you'd be best off setting innodb-file-per-table - I'm sure you've already seen that the large datafiles are a hindrance to smooth rsyncing :-) Make sure to test extensively, though. On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 5

If the bracketed stuff really can be anything, you're better off doing it externally, I guess. If you can be reasonably sure that there'll not be any square brackets in there, you can fluff about with instr() and substr(). On Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 6:18 PM, Eric Bergen wrote: > There isn't a buil

I have to say, something similar was my first thought, too - you never mention uuid in your original post. As already stated, uuid() should be a Universal Unique IDentifier. It's afaik a random 128-bit number; given the space to choose from it should be rather unique. I have to admit that I'm not e

The problem is that you're using a function on your indexed field, which prevents the index from being used (I'm assuming you have an index on stamp). Store stamp directly as unixtime (use a time field) or if that's not an option, add a column that does - if you want you can autofill it with a tri

That's a very Debian-specific issue. The credentials for the debian-sys-maint user are randomly generated at install, and stored in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. Either copy the file from the old to the new machine, or update the user's password on the new machine to the one in the file. On Wed, Dec 8,

Are you saying that mass inserts go much slower now that you've set up replication? In that case, I suspect you have your binlogs on the same disk as your data. Put the binary logs on separate disks, and you'll notice a dramatic increase in performance. On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 7:17 AM, Sairam Kri
