Crashes

2001-06-19 Thread Maxim A Belushkin


  The MySQL server keeps crashing together with half the tables
  (MySQL-3.23.38). The server is tight-loaded, but not enough for a
  possible lack of resources. It all acts on a Dell server,
  Linux-2.2.18.

Z prompt running MYSQL on Windows 2000

2001-06-19 Thread craig riley

Hi Guys,
   I am running MySQL on windows 2000 and I have just noticed something 
very strange! I have been setting up a network over the last few weeks and 
managed to install MySQL ok when I wasn't logged on to our domain (I could 
just run a command prompt, change directory to c:/mysql/bin and then type 
mysql to run it!)

But after I got our domain up and running and I logged on the command prompt 
automatically starts up with a 'Z' prompt!! Now I can't find the mysql 
folder, so therefore I can't start mysql anymore - PLEASE HELP!

Re: Database size limit

2001-06-19 Thread Ali Kemal YURTSEVEN

Well, my server is running on Mandrake 8.0. We're trying to implement
database hosting at our site, therefore people should probably have
database spaces between 10-50 MB.
In Microsoft SQL server you can limit the size of a database when
creating it. Is it possible in MySQL ?

Re[2]: 3.23.39+InnoDB = slower than 3.23.389InnoDB ?

2001-06-19 Thread BAUMEISTER Alexandre

Bonjour Heikki,

  In fact this morning Mysql is ... crashed on this server :(

  It never crashed with 3.23.38 :(

  I  don't  yet  know if this is really a 3.23.39 problem or something
  else.

  If  I'm  able to restart Mysql, I will downgrade to 3.23.38 in order
  to see if it's back to the normal. And then upgrade once more to .39
  ...

  But  I  have some difficulties to restart Mysql. Here is what I have
  from the logs :
==
010619 09:11:11  mysqld started
InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally.
InnoDB: Starting recovery from log files...
InnoDB: Starting log scan based on checkpoint at
InnoDB: log sequence number 17 879096443
InnoDB: 1 uncommitted transaction(s) which must be rolled back
InnoDB: Starting rollback of uncommitted transactions
InnoDB: Rolling back trx no 0
==

  It's like that since minutes now. And not telling anything else :(

  When   I  check  disk usage and CPU, they stay low so it seems Mysql
  is not working hard and limited by the system :
==
load averages:  1.00,  1.00,  0.7709:19:55
55 processes:  53 sleeping, 2 on cpu
CPU states: 74.9% idle, 25.0% user, 0.0% kernel, 0.0% iowait, 0.0% swap
Memory: 1024M real, 776M free, 362M swap in use, 1402M swap free

   PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE  SIZE   RES STATETIMECPU COMMAND
 1 root   3   00  342M   39M cpu/38:43 25.00% mysqld
 16784 root   1  500 2200K 1400K cpu/20:00  0.09% top
 ...
==

  If I try to log in Mysql, it's not telling me that there is no Mysql
  server, but it's not giving me the hand back:
==
   [9:21am]# mysql
   ... don't returns
==

  With  3.23.38  I started to think I could use Mysql with InnoDB in a
  production system, but I'm a little feared now :(

  Alex.

 Maybe you are right. I am thinking about security and this is a not

Indeed.

 Meanwhile any change in cnf file requires restart of MySQL which is
 not always possible :(.

A while back (at last year's database summit), Monty made some
rumblings about maybe making it possible to modify many (most?) of the
server variables without an actual restart.

Is that that on the horizon for MySQL 4.x, or did it become more
difficult that originally thought?

If it does happen, I'll start working on the MySQL self-tuning add-on
so that folks don't have to play with their my.cnf files as
much... Really. I think it'd be fun to build and VERY useful.

Then MSSQL wouldn't be the only [advertised] self-tuning database
server in the market. :-)

Certainly.

The good news is that people *have* made it work and are rather happy
with the setup. The first question I have is this: do you plan on
running multiple servers against the same data file on the netapp
filer? Or are you only going to have one active server (with another
available in case the first one dies)?

If you're only using a single server, it should work very well. If
you're using multiple servers, it should still work if you tell MySQL
to use it's external locking feature. Of course, you'll need to test
it in your environment. But I've heard of folks making it work.

Hope that helps a bit...

cascade delete's

Hi,

I wanted only to know, if there is a possibility in
mysql for cascading delete's? Because in databases
with a lot of tables, it s really difficult to pay
attention to all of the dependencies and it would be
nice, if there is a possibility for automatically
deleting the dependent records.

Performance and the my.cnf file

2001-06-19 Thread David Allen

Hi,

I have several problems to do with tuning mysql to run on a Sun E450.
Firstly, I cannot get the mysql to read the my.cnf file. If it is
installed in the data directory, mysql boots OK but ignores it, while if
I copy it into the /etc directory I get the following error

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home1/mysql/data
mysqld daemon ended

and mysql does not start up

Also, how do you know what the current values of the variables are? Does
the command mysqladmin variables outputs the global variables or the
current settings of those variables and does the -O option eg mysqld -O
key_buffer=32m change the variables on the fly or does the mysql
process have to be restarted?

Thanks for any help. I am presently struggling to get reasonable
performance from our server.

Thanks,

David

phpMyAdmin newbie problem

2001-06-19 Thread Tommy Beavitt

Hi,

I am wondering why I am unable to use the SELECT statement to access 
data in a MySQL (3.22.32) database I have created using phpMyAdmin 
(2.1.0). Everything else about it is a delight to use (I am migrating 
from SQLAnywhere) and I have managed to create tables and insert data 
into them no problem. But every time I use a SELECT statement I get 
the error:

  Error

SQL-query:

select *
from books;

MySQL said:
Back

Obviously I am making a wrong assumption somewhere. The documentation 
I have checked is the official MySQL manual but this does not relate 
specifically to phpMyAdmin and certainly does not prohibit SELECT 
statements!

tia

Re: Oddity with building 3.23.38 on Tru64 4.0f

2001-06-19 Thread Sinisa Milivojevic

Dave FitzPatrick writes:
 I recently set about upgrading our MySQL install on a Compaq Tru64 4.0f 
 Alpha box from 3.22.25 to 3.23.38.
 
 As in the past, I used the Compaq cc as CC and gcc (2.95.3) as CXX with 
 appropriate flags set.  I do not have the GNU binutils installed, so it 
 is the Compaq ld that is used.  I am, however, using GNU make.
 
 I wanted to build with both BDB and InnoDB, so I configured as:
 
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --enable-assembler \
 --with-low-memory --with-innodb --with-berkeley-db
 
 The configure proceded just fine and I typed make.
 
 Quite a while later I got this:
cut 
 I edited sql/Makefile and replaced the two occurrences of:
 
 -L$(top_builddir)/bdb/build_unix -ldb
 
 with
 
 $(top_builddir)/bdb/build_unix/libdb.a
 
 and the make proceded without further incident.
 
 I'm not sure if this is a problem with Compaq's ld or something else, 
 but I found it curious.

Definitely looks like Compaq linker bug. Some GNU linker versions have
a similar bug.

Contact Compaq and submit the info. We have had good experience with a
software engineer from Compaq that is maintaining their linker.

Steven Now I have a question: Does this also apply to automatic
 repair inside
Steven mysqld? I'd finally use the feature if its true...
 
 
 If you just run CHECK TABLE, it will repair the open count (it should
 always have done that).
 
 myisamchk --fast --force is equal to:
 
 run CHECK TABLE on all tables
 Run REPAIR TABLE on tables which was not marked as ok.

Steven I was refering to --myisam-recover=FORCE

Steven As I remember, it would repair tables that had a open count  0 (at least
Steven back when I first tried using it).

I checked this and at least now it only repairs the table if a check
table finds something wrong.

Re: begin and commit w/ perl

2001-06-19 Thread Ilya Martynov


r When begining and commiting a transaction using perl and DBI, does the
r commit need to come from the same statement handle as the begin or does it
r just need to be from the same database connection handle?

If you are using DBI for transactions you should have something like:

 $dbh-{AutoCommit} = 0;  # enable transactions, if possible
 $dbh-{RaiseError} = 1;
 eval {
 foo(...)# do lots of work here
 bar(...)# including inserts
 baz(...)# and updates
 $dbh-commit;   # commit the changes if we get this far
 };
 if ($@) {
 warn Transaction aborted because $@;
 $dbh-rollback; # undo the incomplete changes
 # add other application on-error-clean-up code here
 }

Sample have been taken right from 'perldoc DBI'. Read section
'Transaction' there for more info.

P.S. Be sure that you have latest version of Msql-Mysql-modules
(version 1.2216). Previous versions does not support transactions.

Re: simple commands, no joy

2001-06-19 Thread Pat Sherrill

Assuming you are trying to execute MySQL(SQL) commands from 'netsloth.dump',
remove the 'redirect to' after the mysql command.  This also assumes you are
logged into the localhost using the command line interface.

Your command would appear similar to the following:
mysql -u jjames -psd342 dbtheNetee 
/Library/WebServer/web1/book/install/netsloth.dump

Remove the trailing semi-colon from the command line.

I hope this helps...

I got this result when I first put lower vales like 4kB and 8kB and found

syscalls open/read/write/seek/tell/close mysql calls then many
times. Syscalls are very expensive in time in many operating systems and I
got no slowdown when I increased raid chunk value to be so high as
256000kBytes. I think this is the good value as such amount of data can be
fitted into hard disk hardware cache and can speed up writing do disk many
times. Because this I do not suggest to extend it also. Default value
should be good for most cases.

Re: Performance and the my.cnf file

2001-06-19 Thread Gerald Clark

Make sure my.cnf is mode 744.

David Allen wrote:

 Hi,
 
 I have several problems to do with tuning mysql to run on a Sun E450.
 Firstly, I cannot get the mysql to read the my.cnf file. If it is
 installed in the data directory, mysql boots OK but ignores it, while if
 I copy it into the /etc directory I get the following error
 
 Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home1/mysql/data
 mysqld daemon ended
 
 and mysql does not start up
 
 Also, how do you know what the current values of the variables are? Does
 the command mysqladmin variables outputs the global variables or the
 current settings of those variables and does the -O option eg mysqld -O
 key_buffer=32m change the variables on the fly or does the mysql
 process have to be restarted?
 
 Thanks for any help. I am presently struggling to get reasonable
 performance from our server.
 
 Thanks,
 
 David

Re: listing data form database

2001-06-19 Thread Benji Smith

This isn't so much of a MySQL question as it is a PHP (or ASP or whatever)
question.

At any rate, probably the best way to do this is with nested FOR loops. In
PHP, it would look something like this:

mysql_select_db(database_name);
$qry = select country_name from table_name where [...conditions...];
$result = mysql_query($qry)
$number_of_results = mysql_num_rows($result)
if ($number_of_results = 1)
{
for ($i = 0; $i  $number_of_results; $i = $i + 3)
{
echo tr/n
for ($i2 = 0; (($i2  3)||(($i + $i2) = $number_of_results));
$i2++)
{
$record_id = ($i + $i2);
echo td.$result[$record_id]./td\n;
}
echo /tr\n
}
else
{
echo trtdThe database did not resurn any records./td/tr;
}

copying tables between databases in mySQL 3.22.32

2001-06-19 Thread Arno Schoenmakers

Hi,

I am using mySQL 3.22.23 on a Linux platform. How can I copy or move Tables between 
different Databases? Is there a simple command for that? We do not have the 
mysqlhotcopy command; is it safe to download and use for our mySQL version, and can it 
do what I want it to do? I cannot find anything definite in the manual about this, so 
any suggestions are welcome!

  Thanks,

database design

2001-06-19 Thread AAAunderground

Is it better to have very small tables with a max of 3 rows, slightly larger 
tables with several indexed columns. I am designing a database for a medium 
size company. I certainly plan to expand the business and the database. I 
want to make sure that I plan the DB correctly from the beginning. I am 
thinking that most tables will use an autogen primary key. Does anyone have a 
link to a good source of reading for database design? Maybe recommended dead 
tree reading?

Re: mysqldump bug during regenerate enum field.

2001-06-19 Thread Pete Harlan

It would seem that there is a bug, and it's that create table
accepts an 'illegal' definition.  It should either convert the integer
to a literal (making the definition legal and dumpable), or it should
barf on it.

IMO, of course.

--Pete


[Charset iso-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...]
 But my problem is perhaps simply in the concept:
 
 When MySQL accept a create table in entry (as bad as it is like this one from a guy 
in my team), mysqldump should regenerate from this table a create table statement 
accepted by MySQL too.
 
 no? it's not logic?
 ;-)

  A good way to prove that mysqldump is doing what it should, might be to do a

DISTINCT list ORDER problem

2001-06-19 Thread Tom Beidler

I'm generating a pulldown menu using PHP and MySQL. Originally I had the
list order by model where it put everything in alphabetical order. I need to
order them by year of model which luckily coincides with the order that I
dumped them into the database so I would like to ORDER by id which was an
auto-increment number. The list work fine when ordering by model but when I
order by id I pull up more then distinct model names. Here's the query;

$menu_query = SELECT DISTINCT model
   .  FROM a_clutch
   .  WHERE make = \Harley-Davidson\ AND status = \active\
   .  ORDER BY id;

How can I pull up distinct models and order just the distinct models by id?

Thanks,
Tom

possible errors when using myisamchk and isamchk ?

When myisamchk and isamchk report errors I  would like to catch that

hence my question: what could go wrong when running myisamchk and isamchk
and what could I get as error / warning messages ?
Can I find a list of all the possible error messages ?

for know I check the output of both myisamchk and isamchk
for lines containing error and warning  but I would like to search for
more precise
errormessages.

Who can help me out ?`

VARCHAR columns can't hold 300 characters. And there is a limit on the
size of any given index.

You really ought to consider upgrading. The version you're running is
basically unsupported anymore.

Re: inserting images in mysql tables

2001-06-19 Thread Cal Evans

IMHO, (take it for what it is worth)

You shouldn't. Store a reference to the image in the database.(either a file
system reference, or if you are doing HTML, store the URL)  I've yet to see
a good reason for stuffing an image in a database. In most cases the OS/file
system will handle the image faster than the database will.

Sorry, probably not the answer you wanted.

IFNULL issues??

2001-06-19 Thread BCC

Hi,

Maybe someone could take a moment to explain this behavior?

I am using IFNULL() in an order by statement to push null values to the
end of a table for sorting.

For example:
mysql select distinct s.some_pk as myid, queryid from data_table s,
userdata.queryinfo q where s.some_pk=q.myid order by IFNULL(myid, 999);

This works fine (let's ignore for the moment the possibility of null
primary key values :) ).

However, this does not work:
mysql  select distinct s.some_pk as myid from data_table s,
other_data_table where s.some_pk=232 order by IFNULL(myid, 999);
ERROR 1054: Unknown column 'myid' in 'order clause'

What gives?  What is the difference for IFNULL between these two
statements?  My first thought was that IFNULL for some reason does not
recognize
aliases, but then the first statement works.  Also, 'pkid' is not
ambiguous.

I don't get it.  Am I missing the obvious?

Anyone?
Thanks,
Bryan

Re: database design

2001-06-19 Thread jay downs

Alot of it would depend on what exactly you are doing.  If you have alot of small
tables with only 3 columns(I'm assuming thats what you meant) that can make for a
messy server when it starts getting hit by a demand. Also, there are lots of good
books on database design.  Que generally has made some pretty good books and are
available at most borders or barnes noble.  In most cases the theory is still the
same when it comes to relational databases.  One thing that I dont think that most
books go over is what I like to call 'Relational Theory vs Relational Reality'.
Sometimes using a relational design, causes a significant overhead on the machine
and also there are situations when you are obtaining data for the data collecting
tables, you might want the opportunity to copy the data over rather than refer to
the data table being looked to for this data.  This will increase the size of the
database, but overcomes situations such as 'What if the part# changes descriptions
slightly?'  If you're still using the same part#, but different description and you
have to refer back to line item (I'm using a basic inventory system layout here),
your customer could be looking at one thing and you another and a breakdown in the
communication occurs because now the info isnt the same.  Alot of times, it is via
experimentation that you learn this sort of thing.  Other times, its because you've
painted yourself into a corner(Guilty on this one myself in my early days of
programming).  Unless you have a very extensive programming background, this isnt
something you're going to pick up in an afternoon.

Yep.  In fact, if I replace 'myid' by s.some_pk the query works as well.
This is what make me think it was a feature (bug?) with IFNULL in that it
would not recognize aliases.  But then theres the query that does work :P

The single value is just used to illustrate the structure of the query.

I had originally tried using IFNULL as you suggested, but it sorts the table
differently than if it is used in the order by.  For example, if I have NULL
values (as a result of a left outer join), they will always appear at the
beginning of my table.  Using desc is not an option here.  Using IFNULL as
you suggest replaces the NULL values properly, but they still stay at the
beginning of the table.  Looks wierd when your table is ordered as: 999,
999, 999, 1, 2, 3, 4.  :)  Using IFNULL in the order by fixes this.

Replication and redirection

2001-06-19 Thread Guy Smith

OS:   RedHat 6.2 on master and slave
mySQL:3.23.32 on master and slave

Problem:  Replication is not working.  Symptoms include:

* Connecting OK.  'Show slave status' reports nominally.

* Position on the log file increments correctly when updates occur on the
master.

* The tables do not get updated.

The web hosting service (20after4.com = recommended - very helpful people
there) has performed a replication between two of their servers, using the
same master for my replication attempt as the master for theirs.  Their
replication worked.

The main difference is that they did not use redirection and I did.  Having
the development database on this system, I do not want to replicate
directly.  So, when we synced I created a local database here (xxxprod),
copied the snapshot of the production database to the xxxprod data directory
here, then initiated replication.

We have tried putting the replication commands in the my.cnf file and using
the 'change master to' command, and get the same results.  Here is the
current my.cnf file.

[mysqld]
server-id=11
replicate-do-db=xxx
replicate-rewrite-db=xxx-xxxprod

Anyone have an idea what we may have done wrong?

Also, is it faster to insert a load of data, then index, or index as it is

Setting mySQL for a user

2001-06-19 Thread WebNomad Inc.

Hello all,

I'm  a newbie to the list and mySQL.  So please forgive me.  I have no
idea what I am doing running a server but i'm doing it!

I  have  a  client who needs mySQL and have no idea how to do this.  I
have a cobalt raq4i.

Is  there a resource for a real beginner like me to go to with step by
step instructions or would anyone on the list be able to offer me some
suggestions.

TIA

Best regards,
Sham

EXPORTING DATA: OK, this might be a bit general but..

2001-06-19 Thread David Ayliffe

I need some advice on how to export a tables data to import later into
Access.
This export HAS to be automated (and I'm using VC++ API for MySQL)

The problems I'm faced with are 

(1) Before I can import this data into access I have to create the table
in access; I'm familiar with ADO and creating both tables and databases
automatically in a C++ proggie, but how can I find out the tables
structure - I suppose I can issue a query - DESCRIBE thistable;

(2) Adding records to access (ADO will have methods to do this thought I
would have thought).  

(3) The biggest problem I can see is getting the data from a mysql
server (where-ever it may be) to reside locally (the computer issuing
the command) so that I can then reference it and add it to an access
database through ADO.  How can I get this data (effectively a select *
from to table) to reside on the local machine.  Ideally what I want is
export * from table to file.txt - I know I'm wishing on a star here.
What's the easiest way to do this thought?
How can I use a SELECT to send the output to a file??

(4) I will need to insert data into MySQL. I've learnt that I can do
this with a LOAD DATA ... But is this issued in the same way as a query
is sent to the server.  It is essential to add data through the mysql
server not an add-on program shipped with MySQL.

I have a problem that I don't want the overhead of ODBC, or the reliance
on other programs bundled with MySQL because the host I'm connecting to
could be Windows, Linux, Unix Sparc etc...

Have a think and I'll appreciate any input you have to offer.  Please
bear in mind that all operations MUST BE AUTOMATED.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks a lot for attention. 

I solve my problem using an alias to COUNT.

***Paulino Michelazzo Reply***
Hi all!

I need to get the count field in a select instruction like this:

(from My-SQL help)

SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM pet GROUP BY owner
++--+
| owner  | COUNT(*) |
++--+
| Benny  |2 |
| Diane  |2 |

I use Cold Fusion with My-SQL and i can get the owner field easy, but the

RE: aggravating failure symptoms and steps to remedy them...

2001-06-19 Thread Guy Smith

Not sure I'll be helpful, but I ran into something similar yesterday.  Not
exactly sure how I fixed it, but this is what I believe.

1) You should create a virgin data directory per the standard procedures on
the production machine (install_db and safe_mysqld).

2) Then, if you have existing data, copy over the existing data directory.

 I'm a sysadmin who created mysql installs for users on linux x86 boxen;  I
 had to create self-contained, architecture-specific packages to comply
 with our in-house means of handling software in my department.  That took
 three weeks to fine-tune and distribute and mysql seemed to run out of the
 box, after some tuning on my build-host.

 Everything LOOKED good...until the user who called and said, did you
 change my password?  uh, no.  Why can't I get on Mysql, then? uh, did
 you do a ps -ef? nothing happens.

 well, the host.some.domain.err says the following:

 010619 16:39:30  mysqld started
 010619 16:39:30  /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:
 './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
 010619 16:39:30  mysqld ended

   searches on dejanews.com (or 'googlegroups, as they are known)
 revealed someone had run into this and had been advised to run the
 installdb script;  I did that again, but now it doesn't do me much good,
 so I try linking over /usr.../mysql/var/mysql to /usr/../,ysql/libexec,
 but to no visible change in behavior, judging by stdout and the *.err log.

 What painfully simple, stupid thing am I missing?

WNT Perl to Linux MySQL

  I'm not sure if this is a problem with Compaq's ld or something else, 
  but I found it curious.
 
 Definitely looks like Compaq linker bug. Some GNU linker versions have
 a similar bug.
 
 Contact Compaq and submit the info. We have had good experience with a
 software engineer from Compaq that is maintaining their linker.

It looks like the issue is that the linker looks for the shared version 
of a library in all library directories first, so it's finding 
/usr/shlib/libdb.so and linking against that.

It seems you can pass a parameter of -oldstyle_liblookup to ld that 
forces it to look for shared libraries and then archives in each 
directory before moving on to the next.

I tried adding

--with-mysqld-ldflags='-Xlinker -oldstyle_liblookup'

but this ended up putting it in the wrong order on the resultant 
command to ld so that it sees it as an additional -o parameter and 
causes an error.

Similar problems with defining CXXLDFLAGS.

The workaround I finally used successfully was to create a shell script 
named ld in a directory that is in my path before /usr/bin which 
contains:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/ld -oldstyle_liblookup $*

Re: EXPORTING DATA: OK, this might be a bit general but..

2001-06-19 Thread Erik Gillespie

I'm by no means an authority on this kind of stuff but you could write a
portable C program that generates a big ol' SQL script containing INSERT
INTO statements :)

I can't really think of a fast way to do it since you want to go between
MySQL and Access without ODBC and other utilities (I'm not even sure if
there is a bulk copy that would work between the two?).

That's my two cents worth anyway,

 structure - I suppose I can issue a query - DESCRIBE thistable;
 
 (2) Adding records to access (ADO will have methods to do this thought I
 would have thought).  
 
 (3) The biggest problem I can see is getting the data from a mysql
 server (where-ever it may be) to reside locally (the computer issuing
 the command) so that I can then reference it and add it to an access
 database through ADO.  How can I get this data (effectively a select *
 from to table) to reside on the local machine.  Ideally what I want is
 export * from table to file.txt - I know I'm wishing on a star here.
 What's the easiest way to do this thought?
 How can I use a SELECT to send the output to a file??
 
 (4) I will need to insert data into MySQL. I've learnt that I can do
 this with a LOAD DATA ... But is this issued in the same way as a query
 is sent to the server.  It is essential to add data through the mysql
 server not an add-on program shipped with MySQL.
 
 I have a problem that I don't want the overhead of ODBC, or the reliance
 on other programs bundled with MySQL because the host I'm connecting to
 could be Windows, Linux, Unix Sparc etc...
 
 Have a think and I'll appreciate any input you have to offer.  Please
 bear in mind that all operations MUST BE AUTOMATED.
 
 Thank you for your time.

Testing MySQL 4.0

2001-06-19 Thread Sasha Pachev

Hello, MySQL users/hackers:

As some of you know, we are currently actively working on MySQL 4.0, and are 
making some progress. Those who are subscribed to the internals lists get 
notified of all of our commits and can monitor the progress.

If you would like to do a pull from our repository and play with it, follow 
the instructions at http://www.mysql.com/doc/I/n/Installing_source_tree.html 
. After you've pulled, run BUILD/compile-pentium (for a lean fast binary) or 
BUILD/compile-pentium-debug - it will build a binary for you.

If you have a spare development system, plug in 4.0 binary and try to run 
your applications on it to see if it will crash. If it does, although 4.0 is  
pre-alpha, it is a concern to us - our rule is not to have anything in the 
central repository that we know crashed - each developers has to run make 
test before he can push the change, and it has to pass, maybe with the 
exception of when one developer commits a test case for a bug for some other 
developer to fix it. 

So if you can get our tree to crash ( again, we recommend you do not try it 
on a production system yet :-) ), please report it. The sooner you report it, 
the sooner we fix it, and the sooner we get 4.0 into production quality 
release.

Some cool things already coded in the current 4.0 tree:

REPLICATION:

 * LOAD DATA FROM MASTER auto-magically sets up a slave ( master tables 
will be locked in the current code, but this will be fixed in the future once 
we get hot backup to work)
 * master is aware of slaves if they register
 * client has built-in master/slave awareness that get turned on with special 
client options or through new API calls

GENERAL SQL:

 * count(distinct) is about 30% faster 
 * records can be read on raw MyISAM level with HANDLER command
 * multi-delete works, but there is a bug we are aware of that we have not 
fixed yet

FULL TEXT:

 * All I know  is that it works much better - Sergei could fill in the details

The above list is not comlete - I just typed it from memory.

Of course, the new API, SQL syntax, log formats, etc is subject to change 
since we are still pre-alpha, so do not build applications that depend on it 
until we have officially blessed them. 

Also, now is the best time to throw in suggestions, feature requests, etc. 
Once we've stablized the branch, it would be a lot harder to get us to change 
things.

So, in short, have fun...

why can C work with this date, and mysql why not?
is this a bug or not?

It's a bug that MySQL performs as documented?

Does that C program work on all platforms where MySQL works?

Hi,
I try to install mysql-3.22.32-sun-solaris2.7-sparc on our department's SUN machine

ln -s mysql-3.22.32-sun-solaris2.7-sparc mysql
cd mysql

The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at

Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

I don't know what is the libcrypt_i.so.1? and I am curious what happend to me. I hope 
somebody can help me thanks!

No, but we do not have a nifty compile-solaris-sparc-debug in the BUILD 
directory yet, largely because none of our developers uses a Sparc for their 
primary development machine. We do have compile-solaris-sparc, though, and 
even compile-solaris-sparc-purify. Feel free to copy one of those, hack it 
and send it to us.

On most platforms, BUILD/compile-pentium should build a good binary even if 
the architecture is not a pentium.

Re: database design

2001-06-19 Thread Siomara Pantarotto


I counldn't agree more with this email that was sent by Jay.

I really don't see how tables with only three columns would be an advantage 
to any systems. On the contrary, I think it would be complicate to select, 
insert, update and delete information.

The ecommerce example that I posted in my page is about a company that sells 
coins via web. Let's think of product table with 3 fields only: ProductID, 
Name, and Price. However coins have other informations that would define 
them, and that are simple attributes. So no reason to separate them in 
another table or tables

I also agree that most books do not cover 'Relational Theory vs Relational 
Reality' very well. It requires time to learn how to model systems, and I do 
encourage people to read ,and also identify who does it well and stick with 
them to understand how they think.

Sometimes you come up with an ERD diagram for a system that can have some 
denormalization. Just keep in mind that some denormalization is necessary 
depending on the situation.

In my ecommerce example, for example, when an order is shipped, I put inside 
of order information about the chosen shipping address, and as a business 
rule I do not allow shipped orders to be updated. This way I garantee that 
all orders will contain the shipping address chosen by the customer in a 
specific time, I will not have to keep history of addresses in case they are 
update, and I can allow the customer even delete that specific address from 
his address book.

The same I do for the price of item. Once the order is shipped, the price is 
placed inside of Orderitems table and no updates are allowed in any line of 
taht order.

The company can change the price of the product in table product and this 
will not affect old orders.

I do agree that this is a simple way of dealing with it. Maybe with product 
price I should keep a history of changes. However I tried to make it simple 
for this example.

Alot of it would depend on what exactly you are doing.  If you have alot of 
small
tables with only 3 columns(I'm assuming thats what you meant) that can make 
for a
messy server when it starts getting hit by a demand. Also, there are lots 
of good
books on database design.  Que generally has made some pretty good books 
and are
available at most borders or barnes noble.  In most cases the theory is 
still the
same when it comes to relational databases.  One thing that I dont think 
that most
books go over is what I like to call 'Relational Theory vs Relational 
Reality'.
Sometimes using a relational design, causes a significant overhead on the 
machine
and also there are situations when you are obtaining data for the data 
collecting
tables, you might want the opportunity to copy the data over rather than 
refer to
the data table being looked to for this data.  This will increase the size 
of the
database, but overcomes situations such as 'What if the part# changes 
descriptions
slightly?'  If you're still using the same part#, but different description 
and you
have to refer back to line item (I'm using a basic inventory system layout 
here),
your customer could be looking at one thing and you another and a breakdown 
in the
communication occurs because now the info isnt the same.  Alot of times, it 
is via
experimentation that you learn this sort of thing.  Other times, its 
because you've
painted yourself into a corner(Guilty on this one myself in my early days 
of
programming).  Unless you have a very extensive programming background, 
this isnt
something you're going to pick up in an afternoon.

And the logs say?

 Any thoughts?

Open Script

2001-06-19 Thread Jacek Kempski

Hello,

although i am not a newbie to mysql and rdbms i am new to the list and
have a problem connecting an application to MySQL. The application is
written in OpenScript which was the language of the Toolbook IDE from
Assymetrix. Now: although we are able to link the ODBC dll, when we try
to declare the functions which the ODBC should be responsible for,
errors say the functions are invalid.

Is there anybody there able to help in MySQL / OpenScript landscape?
If yes: what do we do wrong?

thanks in advance,

jacek kempski

Syncing two databases

2001-06-19 Thread Marc Aragnou

Hi all,

I'm new to this list, fairly new to PHP and mySQL and I have a question
about syncing two databases. I search all over the web for this, including a
win32 version of rsync, but that's not suitable in my case, so here it goes:

I have a MySQL database A running on my local machine (Windows 2000, running
Apache 1.3.14/php4.0.4pl1)

I have another MySQL database B running on my ISP (Linux RedHat, running
ZEUS 3.3)

I use a tool called phpMyAdmin for managing these databases and it works
fine even on a remote connection. I also managed to link a MS ACCESS
database to the online MySQL database via ODBC drivers.

I'd like to take it one step further and synchronize A with B. Syncing has
to work both ways. I can't use rsync as I don't have direct access to the
folders where the table files are stored on my ISP.

I heard you can use log files to trace transactions and update databases
this way by queries but I don't know where these files are located and how
to read them. I don't even know if it's the way to do it. Could some one
point me in the right direction?

Thanks heaps.
Marc Aragnou
