It's going to depend of in your queries are disk bound or processor
bound.  Check the processor usage when a big query is running (and not
much else is running).

If the CPU usage is at 80-100% the query is processor bound, so you'll
see some improvement (though I can't tell you how much, other than the
clock rate scaling).

On the other hand, if the CPU usage is low, you are likely disk bound,
so a faster processor won't help much.  It would be better to add RAM,
tune your queries or get faster disks (or all three) in this case.

Short answer, no.


I have tried to flush tables, but that did not work -

the

Long answer: that defeats the purpose of an auto-increment.

The only good way to do this is to do it programatically, and even 
then (if there are multiple updates at a time) won't necessarily 
guarantee unique values (the point of the auto_increment field).
I should have said something like programatically with an integer 
field (as oppose to auto_increment).

If all you need is the current number of movies, might I suggest:
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename;

Does mysql cache results?

2003-08-14 Thread Russ
Hi,

I'm doing some web development and have mysql (3.23.x) installed
to test with (win2k, but I don't think this question is particularly 
platform specific).

I have a reasonably complex query which I am trying to optimise.
When I first startup mysql, and perform the query, it can take
10 or so seconds. However, further subsequent queries (sorting 
by the same column) return in a fraction of a second. This is true
even with new WHERE or LIMIT clauses. 

Is mysql creating a 'temporary' index and caching it? Is the original
10 second query the actual time for my query to execute? I'm finding
it difficuly to optimise my query as I'm not sure exactly which times 
are correct.

Hope I've explained this OK - sure I'm missing fundamental, so 
apologies in advance.

Regards,
Russ

Re: STUMPED: How Can I Pull Related Info Using Subqueries/Joins?

2003-08-14 Thread Patrick Crowley
The comma after Gerlad R was a typo.

As for the 500 actors issue, I'm merely using the movie db as an example.
People always post the strangest db's to this list (I have one table for
monkeys and one for fishes who speak Urdu, and I need...), so I thought I'd
spare everyone the particulars of mine.

I'm quite eager to use some of the 4.0/4.1 features, but for now, I have to
play in the 3.23 sandbox.

Ultimately, I'd like single rows here, but will use PHP to compact the rows
for now.

Thanks for your help everyone!

Patrick 
 
 I can't say I like the idea of concatenating all those items into one.
 Look at the parsing difficulty you've gotten yourself into.  Is Molen
 a director?  Or is it Gerald R?
 Most databases don't have any functions for this grouping-concatenation,
 since it leaves you with a result set that has a field of arbitrary
 length.  What about a movie with 500 actors?
 So, really, I prefer to order by the movie, then the director.  While
 processing the result set, just be aware you might have duplicate
 consecutive movies.  Then you can roll in the directors as you go.
 
 So much for that lecture.  If you're willing to use the ALPHA mySQL 4.1,
 there is a method that promises to do what you want:
 http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GROUP-BY-Functions.html, look at
 GROUP_CONCAT.  I think that fits the bill, with the caveat that it might
 well not be ready for prime-time yet.  Oh, and it won't work on (any)
 other databases.

The SET field type vs. a lookup table

2003-08-14 Thread Tim Fountain

Does the FIND_IN_SET() function mentioned in the manual have any
performance bonuses over doing a LIKE search for a SET fields?  I'm
trying to decide between using a SET or a separate lookup table at the moment,
but data needs to be searchable and could have a lot of values, so it
needs to be scalable.

The FIND_IN_SET() function is mentioned on the page about the SET
field type, but doesn't seem to have a proper manual entry itself.

Re: rollback segment

2003-08-14 Thread Heikki Tuuri
Susan,

you had posted your message to the newsgroup mailing.database.mysql. That is
only a mirror of the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED], where you should
send your postings for them to be readable for all.

InnoDB has a data structure which is equivalent to the 'rollback segment' of
Oracle. But, contrary to Oracle, you do not need to configure it in any way.
InnoDB uses the rollback segment both to implement transaction rollback and
read consistency.

Re: fulltext searching

2003-08-14 Thread Roger Baklund
* m n
 I have the following table with just one record! And when I do a select
 statement, mysql returns no hits!!!

 Would you explain to me what is wrong??

You have only one row.

URL: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Fulltext_Search.html 

For very small tables, word distribution does not reflect adequately their
semantic value, and this model may sometimes produce bizarre results.

More specifically, any word found in more than 50% of the rows are
considered as a 'stopword', i.e. it does not give a hit.

All you words are in 100% of your rows... ;)

the password using
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost.localdomain  -p password 'new

but i have not set the password. there should be default password so that i

MD5-read permission?

2003-08-14 Thread Lefevre, Steven
Hey folks -

While contemplating the design of a secure web database, an idea struck me.
I'm thinking of submitting it as a feature request, so please critique it.

I'm having php handle user logon with it's .htaccess emulation. I'm storing
usernames and password hashes in a table. The problem is that php needs to
open MySQL with *some user* with *some permission*, just to read the user
table and check the password. So, It seems that I have to store the password
plaintext somewhere in some php file.

(I asked the list about this earlier and several others had great
suggestions on how to hide this plain-text password -- Thanks Rob! -- but,
can we make it better?)

So if some wily hacker were to get the contents of this php file, s/he would
get a username and password for the database. Now of course, I'm only going
to give this user permission to read the user database, and all the
passwords are hashed... but :

I propose a new permission that I will call MD5read. It's like select, only
it just returns hashes.


So, say you do something like:

SELECT password FROM user;

49726b60ccbf03d6c619632e1db6

So that way, if someone gets the username/password for this user, they can't
get any data off of the database.

One thing you have to watch is that you don't use the md5 function for a
user that has only md5read permission, because that would double-hash it,
and whatever you're checking would fail.

I know you can do
SELECT md5(username), md5(password) FROM user
(or whatever the syntax is), but the user doing that has to have read
permission already. So if a hacker gets that username and password, they are
probably not going to hash data they are trying to get out of the database.

I would feel safe storing a user's name and password in a plain text php
script if they had only this permission.

Is this useful? Are there any flaws in my reasoning?

INSERT .... SELECT

2003-08-14 Thread Lars Rasmussen
Hi,

I have some trouble since i've upgradet from 3.23.49 to 4.0.13.

I used this command:
INSERT INTO nye_opskrifter SELECT * FROM opskrifter where id
in($numbers)

But now it gives this error:
Column count doesn't match value count at row 1

I tried IGNORE, but it's just not working.

I hope anyone of you got a workaround for this problem, i did'nt find
any in the manual.

Re: Does mysql cache results?

2003-08-14 Thread Mark Jay Johansen
I don't know if mySQL caches results, but your system almost surely caches 
disk sectors read. I've noticed in another database app that I'm working on 
(not mySQL) that executing the same query twice runs noticably faster the 
second time, and I know the DBMS isn't caching results because I'm using a 
lower-level interface so I'm implementing the query myself. 

Russ writes: 

Hi, 

I'm doing some web development and have mysql (3.23.x) installed
to test with (win2k, but I don't think this question is particularly 
platform specific). 

I have a reasonably complex query which I am trying to optimise.
When I first startup mysql, and perform the query, it can take
10 or so seconds. However, further subsequent queries (sorting 
by the same column) return in a fraction of a second. This is true
even with new WHERE or LIMIT clauses.  

Is mysql creating a 'temporary' index and caching it? Is the original
10 second query the actual time for my query to execute? I'm finding
it difficuly to optimise my query as I'm not sure exactly which times 
are correct. 

Hope I've explained this OK - sure I'm missing fundamental, so 
apologies in advance. 

Regards,
Russ

Exactly what does 'flush privileges' do anyway?  It isn't mentioned in the

And now an unrelated question.

Why isn't there a BOOL column type?  As I was designing tables in my

boolean values.

Re: Meaning of Column time in Show Processlist

2003-08-14 Thread Mechain Marc
First of all, thank you Jeremy for your answer.

You said:

 It's the amount of time that thread has been in its current state.

Is it the current state column value (which is in fact nothing or the text of the 
running SQL request)
or the current command column value (sleeping, opening table, closing table, ...) that 
is used for the amount of time ?

What happens to the thread if the value of time is greater than interactive timeout or 
wait timeout ?

Subject: Installation challenges - mysqld

Description:

I've never installed MySql before and I am having a little trouble with
the installation procedure. I have installed the binaries as described
in the manual for installation and I am able to start mysql through 

$mysqld_safe --user mysql 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from
/var/lib/mysql
030812 13:24:04  mysqld ended

but you can see that the deamon has ended right away.  This should not
happen, correct?

Then I go to connect to the server (locally) by entering in a mysqladmin
command to check the version and the output is below:

bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'
exists!

It does not seem like the deamon is running at all when I go to check
(ps -aux | grep mysql). Any ideas. I am a little new to MySql.

Note: I have tried the latest version of MySQL and still get the same
problems but on a diff computer running the same OS (Linux RH 9.0)

As you can see, the name value has been escaped.  Now, the question is,
how do you match on a value that has escaped charaters?  I've tried the
following

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = 'Author\'s'

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name LIKE 'Author\'s'
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = '%Author\'s%'
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = 'Author''s'
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = Author\'s
SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = Author's
[/snip]

The only one you didn't try

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name LIKE 'Author%'

But if you don't mind - we can skip to this final resort now :)

 I've started mysqld with:

 And I've made it crash (as expected), but for the life of me, I can't find the

It should usually be in the datadir.
Where pid file and database directories are.

One more question:

What are results from

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM temp_bill_note_search
WHERE MATCH notes AGAINST(traded IN BOOLEAN MODE);
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM temp_bill_note_search
WHERE MATCH notes AGAINST(this IN BOOLEAN MODE);
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM temp_bill_note_search

Re: InnoDB multiple mysqld's on 1 server

I can certainly wait. This system has been working ok for almost a year. I'm 
very happy!

I've been doing a review of all aspects of the system, and many of the 
maintenance tasks, and internal DB operations have suffered in speed to get 
the external parts optimal. But when this fix comes, i'll surely upgrade so 
our internal programs will run faster.

  The situation is that i have a bunch of databases on one server that can
  all be classified as either external use or internal use. The internal
  use databases are consistently hit pretty hard, and we want this to have
  minimal impact on the external use databases. Currently we're using 64
  index MyISAM tables, and with carefully choosing mount points for various
  physical devices, we have the databases separated as we want them.
 
  It is my understanding that with InnoDB, all tables are put into the
  configured InnoDB file(s) together, which would violate what i am trying
  to accomplish.
 
  The only solution i have come up with to control the physical location of
  InnoDB databases is to run multiple mysqld servers, each one with its
  InnoDB files on the desired device.
 
  Has anyone experienced any success or failure with this sort of
  configuration?
 
  This is the only reason holding us back from using InnoDB tables for this
  server. (we're using them on other machines)

 If you can wait a month or so, Heikki is supposed to have that fixed
 in InnoDB soon.  So you'll be able to have more control over which
 data lives in which tablespaces.

Problem renaming table

2003-08-14 Thread Tim Johnson
Hello All:
I would like to rename a table if it exists.

The following query
IF EXISTS ALTER TABLE gwcc_members RENAME gwcc_members_bak;
fails.

also 

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS gwcc_members RENAME gwcc_members_bak;
fails.


1)What is the correct syntax?
2)Where is documentation.
I'm using ver. 3.23.41

 How fulltext is working!!?

From the MySQL manual:

The search for the word MySQL produces no results in the above example, because that

 Hi Gary,

 I understood that the packages provided by MySQL are set to 100
 concurrent
 users by default, so what you ae asking is actually if somebody
 successfully
 compiled a version for more than 100 concurrent users and was able to
 use it
 in a production environment ?

 Do I understand that correct ?

 My guess would be that you are more likely to find Linux users having
 done
 such a setup. Unfortunately I haven'Tt had such an experience yet, but
 as you

 which describes their experience, perhaps it contains the one or the

RE: Help debugging this Query?

2003-08-14 Thread Aaron Wolski
Hi Andy,

Thanks for your comments and my apologies on the late reply.

To optimize my queries I restructured the tables - adding another table
into the mix.

Here is my table structure:

CREATE TABLE kcs_thread_types ( 
   id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
   typeName varchar(255), 
   PRIMARY KEY (id), 
   UNIQUE typeName (typeName) 
); 


CREATE TABLE kcs_threads ( 
   id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
   dateinserted timestamp(14), 
   manufacturer varchar(255), 
   type_index int(11), 
   newUrlType varchar(255), 
   colour varchar(255), 
   colourID varchar(255), 
   price decimal(8,2), 
   image varchar(255), 
   PRIMARY KEY (id) 
); 

CREATE TABLE kcs_threadgroups ( 
   id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
   groupName varchar(255), 
   groupNameUrl varchar(255), 
   type_index int(11), 
   thread_index varchar(255), 
   PRIMARY KEY (id) 
);

The query I am now using is:

SELECT * FROM kcs_threads as t1 LEFT JOIN kcs_threadgroups as t2 ON
t1.type_index=t2.type_index LEFT JOIN kcs_category_threads as t3 ON
t2.type_index=t3.id WHERE t1.manufacturer='DMC' ORDER BY
t1.type,t2.groupName;


When I do an explain on the query I get:

+---++---+-+-+---+--
++
| table | type   | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref   |
rows | Extra  |
+---++---+-+-+---+--
++
| t1| ALL| NULL  | NULL|NULL | NULL  |
2067 | where used |
| t2| ALL| NULL  | NULL|NULL | NULL  |
286 ||
| t3| eq_ref | PRIMARY   | PRIMARY |   4 | t2.type_index |
1 ||
+---++---+-+-+---+--
++

I am still getting the output I had before in the 77,000+ results being
returned.

I am at wits end here and don't know where else to look *shrugs*

ANY clues? Do you want to see some of the table data?

Thanks

Aaron

 Subject: Re: Help debugging this Query?
 
 Aaron,
 It sounds like the join has duplicates on both sides. If you join a-b
 where a is unique (like a primary key) then you will get count(b)
 records (where b is the rows that match a). Or if b is unique then you
 will get count(a) records. However if neither a or b is unique you get
 count(a) * count(b) records. Without you tabledefs it is difficult to
 see if this is the case.
 
 Try this:
 select count(*) as xx from kcs_threadgroups group by threadType having
 xx  1;
 If you get a result then you have duplicates on threadType
 
 select count(*) as xx from kcs_threads where manufacturer='DMC' group
by
 type having xx  1;
 If you get a result then you have duplicates on Type for manufacturer
 DMC.
 
 If you have dups for both then you are getting the result you are
asking
 for.
 
 If this doesn't help, please publish your tabledefs. It's ok to
simplify
 them so we don't have to wade through tons of stuff that has nothing
to
 do with the problem.
 
 Regards,
 Andy.

 the user mark has permissions to access only the marksstuff database.
 but you're not specifying the database with the mysql command.
 presumably, mysql is trying to log you in to another, default database
 that mark does not have permissions to access.
 have you tried simply:

 mysql -u mark -p marksstuff (and then enter the password when prompted)

Re: Matching escaped strings

On 13 Aug 2003 at 16:17, Rob wrote:

 ID|   Name
 
 1 |   Author\'s
 
 As you can see, the name value has been escaped.  Now, the question
 is, how do you match on a value that has escaped charaters?  I've
 tried the following
 
 SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = 'Author\'s'

The sequence \' in a MySQL string means an apostrophe.  What you 
want is a backslash followed by an apostrophe, so you need to put in 
two backslashes before it to represent a backslash:

  SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name = 'Author\\\'s';

Things are a bit more complicated with LIKE, because you want two 
backslashes in the string you give to LIKE, which means you need to 
start with four backslashes (there's an extra level of escaping):

  SELECT * FROM table WHERE Name LIKE 'Author\'s';

  second one for ...2003\'s. or am I wrong ?

 They both look for 2003's.

Thats what I also thought at first sight, but there seems to be more to it.


 The LIKE operator is a pattern matching operator. The operand is evaluated
 twice: first by the parser, and then when the pattern matching is
 performed. For your last example, the first evaluation changes 2003\\\'s
 to 2003\'s, and the second evaluation changes 2003\'s to 2003's.
THis example works for the second one , how about the first one in comparison 
?

Re: MD5-read permission?

2003-08-14 Thread Mark Jay Johansen
While I understand the concern, it shouldn't be any easier for a hacker to 
see the raw text of your PHP files than to get directly to your database 
files. Neither is normally permitted by the web server. So if he somehow can 
get in and get one, why not the other? 

That said, if it makes you feel more comfortable, you could create a user id 
that has permission only to read the user table -- no other tables, no other 
access. If the passwords on the user table are encrypted, then even if he 
could somehow access your database without going through one of your 
existing programs, all he could find out would be user names and not 
passwords. I suppose you could encrypt user names on that table too, and 
then you'd have exactly what you're looking for. 

In any case, even if a hacker could somehow see your PHP files and get a 
password, then unless you have the mySQL port open to the world, there's no 
way for him to do his own query unless he can also somehow drop PHP or 
whatever files on your system and run them. Unless you have your mySQL port 
open to the world, which would be a way bigger security risk than anything 
you've discussed so far. If you don't have a firewall that keeps the world 
out of your PHP port, you should at least have  your ids set up to only 
allow local access. 

2003. 8. 14. ... 12:50.Nils Valentin :
while the general idea sounds not to bad, I guess the bad guess would
I meant the bad guys - what a silly typo ;-) 

just use a undecrypt function wich they either develop themself or get from
somewhere.

2003. 8. 14. ... 03:07.Lefevre, Steven :
 Hey folks -

 While contemplating the design of a secure web database, an idea struck
 me. I'm thinking of submitting it as a feature request, so please
 critique it.

 I'm having php handle user logon with it's .htaccess emulation. I'm
 storing usernames and password hashes in a table. The problem is that php
 needs to open MySQL with *some user* with *some permission*, just to read
 the user table and check the password. So, It seems that I have to store
 the password plaintext somewhere in some php file.

 (I asked the list about this earlier and several others had great
 suggestions on how to hide this plain-text password -- Thanks Rob! --
 but, can we make it better?)

 So if some wily hacker were to get the contents of this php file, s/he
 would get a username and password for the database. Now of course, I'm
 only going to give this user permission to read the user database, and
 all the passwords are hashed... but :

 I propose a new permission that I will call MD5read. It's like select,
 only it just returns hashes.


 So, say you do something like:

 SELECT password FROM user;

 49726b60ccbf03d6c619632e1db6
 f8ec2c9d79b5f969a96be968e7152bbd


 SELECT username, password FROM user;

 24424b444b80831b677594a238f81dd9 | 4549625d8275b97b9b4f9662f1c550fa
 1e5143d05b327f7d3cce15f9e3e44ad2 | fe3b4b388a69ceed38d6a0066e6a221b


 SELECT username+password+somethingelse FROM user;

 49726b60ccbf03d6c619632e1db6
 f8ec2c9d79b5f969a96be968e7152bbd



 So that way, if someone gets the username/password for this user, they
 can't get any data off of the database.

 One thing you have to watch is that you don't use the md5 function for a
 user that has only md5read permission, because that would double-hash it,
 and whatever you're checking would fail.

 I know you can do
 SELECT md5(username), md5(password) FROM user
 (or whatever the syntax is), but the user doing that has to have read
 permission already. So if a hacker gets that username and password, they
 are probably not going to hash data they are trying to get out of the
 database.

 I would feel safe storing a user's name and password in a plain text php
 script if they had only this permission.

 Is this useful? Are there any flaws in my reasoning?

AW: mutual declarations produce Error 1064

2003-08-14 Thread Morten Gulbrandsen
Please notice that

INDEX (DNO, DNUMBER),
is changed to be 
INDEX (DNO),

And I managed to get another error message,

But it still woun't compile.

Also manually typing the code gave another result as 
Piping the company_01.sql file through an input operator

Please tell me what could be wrong ?

Yours sincerely

 I was told that mysql doesn't has foreign key and views.  Is it ture?
 Or is it different across different version such as InnoDB?  I looked
 into the doc it said foreign key syntax only what does that mean?

foreign keys are supported only in InnoDB type tables. Views are not
supported yet. They are slated for MySQL-6.0, I think.

You had posted your message to the newsgroup mailing.database.mysql. That is

Re: Functions as default values

2003-08-14 Thread Cybot
I am trying to use a function as a default value for a column but do not
seem to get the desired result. I want to use the NOW() function for a
last_updated column, here is my code...
CREATE TABLE test_table (
  last_updated datetime NOT NULL default `NOW()`
) TYPE=MyISAM;
This gives an error;

CREATE TABLE test_table (
  last_updated datetime NOT NULL default 'NOW()'
) TYPE=MyISAM;
Now the table shows a default value of -00-00 00:00:00, when I add a new
row the value of last_updated is also -00-00 00:00:00. I am using MySQL
3.23.37, can anyone help?
funcion as default-value is not allowed AFAIK

but timestamp will help you to get what you want!

 Did you post how you setup the servers to load the different my.cnf
 files? Hopefully you don't have one at a default location.

I don't use an /etc/my.cnf for this reason.  The main one uses
/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf and the slave one /data/mysql-backup/mysql/my.cnf.

Is there a quick way to have it tell you which files it is reading
and what settings will get set?

 Otherwise, it sounds like the config information is not properly set --
 either some user setup error that is alluding all of us, or a config
 loading error in MySQL. I'd like to check how the config files are
 located, etc., before doing a bug report.
 
 My two cents.
 
 PS: I'd also have both servers running the latest version, just in case
 it was a bug that was already fixed.

Good point, I might as well try that now.

 You have two workarounds: temp tables and unions.
By a twitch of algabra, how about ...
 select * from sometable where not( f1 != 123 and f2 != 123 ),

Or do not delete them at all, simply flag them as deleted then proceed

a given period of time.

 You can attempt to SELECT it, and if you get no result, it's not there.
 But that doesn't necesarily mean that it was once there and has now been
 deleted.  If you want to determine that, you'll need to create a log
 of record deletions.

RE: Mysql processlist sleep time

2003-08-14 Thread Gary Broughton
I don't believe Windows services can be started with any priority types.
MySQL is on it's own box with the ASP version, which works like a dream.
It's simply that whenever the PHP version is used (either as a solitary
website on another box or as another website on the same box), that's
when mysqld goes mad.  The odd thing is that the software is effectively
identical between the two languages, and has simply had functions
changed as and where appropriate.  I have also used the programming
methods as used in the book PHP and MySQL Web Development too, as well
as reading advice from MySQL Second Edition by Paul Dubois.  I just
wonder if this is a problem that is unable to be solved?!

Mysql processlist sleep time

Hi all

 

I continue to have problems with the CPU usage with MySQL and PHP under
IIS 5 (Win2000).  I recently rewrote our messageboards in PHP (from
ASP).  I now have both online separately, and if I look at the
processlist, the times on the ASP version rarely hit double figures, but
those on the PHP version often reach several hundred (wait and
inactivity timeouts are set to 300 - I thought this would stop it?!).

 

I am at a real loss as to why the processes are not being cleared.  I am
using a persistent connection at the top of the webpage, and every MySQL
query is ended with a 'mysql_free_result()' statement, including before
any redirects using the 'header' command.

 

Has anybody any ideas on why this can be?  I cannot find out how to tell
what is causing the long sleep period.

Form values are truncated

2003-08-14 Thread James Johnson
All,

I'm building a member signup form. Fields that contain more than one word
are being truncated when being inserted into the MySQL table.

I'm  using this code that I got from one of my PHP books.

$as_addr1 = addslashes($_POST['addr1']);$tr_addr1 = trim($as_addr1);

So, if I post 1122 Boogie St. it gets inserted as 1122. If I remove the
addslashes portion, only using trim, I get the same result.

Here's the query:
$query = INSERT INTO subscribers 
(email,password,fName,lName,addr1) 
VALUES
('$tr_email','$tr_pass','$tr_fName','$tr_lName','$tr_addr1';

echo $query;

Here's the echo:
INSERT INTO subscribers (email,password,fName,lName,addr1)
VALUES('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','','Jim','Johnson','78797 State')

I have other fields in the table that are doing the same thing. All fields
are varchars of varying length. Field addr1 is varchar(50).

Suggestions?
Thanks,
James

 connections, since they're idle more often.
 
  I am at a real loss as to why the processes are not being 
 cleared. I 
  am using a persistent connection at the top of the webpage, 
 and every 
  MySQL query is ended with a 'mysql_free_result()' 
 statement, including
 
  before any redirects using the 'header' command.
 
 Hang on.  You're using *persistent* connections, so why would 
 you expect
 them not to persist?

Re: A final Windows MySQL PHP plea

 WOW!!!
 That kind of System Power and you are wasting it on Windows and IIS
 E!

 Sorry - but Dual Proc Support, with 2gigs of RAM would Love Redhat 9.0
 like a kid loves chocolate.

 I dont know about the more than 100 concurrent users, but bear in mind
 (as I understand it) that means that you can have up to 100 queries at 1
 time, as soon as the query is over, the next user is available for his
 query.

 Linux itself can support 1000's of users at one time -
 You might be surprised.

 Hi Gary,

 I understood that the packages provided by MySQL are set to 100
 concurrent
 users by default, so what you ae asking is actually if somebody
 successfully
 compiled a version for more than 100 concurrent users and was able to
 use it
 in a production environment ?

 Do I understand that correct ?

 My guess would be that you are more likely to find Linux users having
 done
 such a setup. Unfortunately I haven'Tt had such an experience yet, but
 as you
 probably now Dell has made a study (which is also announced on www.mysq.
 com)
 which describes their experience, perhaps it contains the one or the
 other
 useful tip.

  Hi all
 
  Is there anybody out there who has managed to successfully configure
  Win2000, IIS5, MySQL 4.0.14 and PHP 4.3.2 (ISAPI) to work with a
  couple of hundred users at any one time?  I have chucked absolutely
  everything I can think of at this, but the MySQL (it seems) simply
  eats all the available CPU within a short space of time (regardless of
 
  users) and brings the site to a halt.  My last throw of the dice today
 
  was to install all on a new Dual 1.8Ghz Pentium, with three hard disks
 
  in a RAID array, and 2GB memory, but it's achieved pretty much
  nothing.  I am now desperate, and if anyone has any flash of
  inspiration for me, I'm all ears.  The previous ASP version of the
  site runs like a dream, but there's something I'm either doing wrong,
  or this new combination of software simply doesn't like.
 
  Many thanks

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.

Re: Reaching max between 1456-1458 connections

2003-08-14 Thread James B. Wetterau Jr.
Brian Austin says:
 Have you read the following page in the Manual on their site?
 http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Linux.html

 This gives you some tips to increase thread allocation.  Especially
 interesting is the part about the LinuxThreads hack.
That's where I started, and it's why I compiled my own MySQL.
However, the constants mentioned on that page are no longer defined as
of 2.4 kernels and 2.3 glibcs.  It looks like Linux has been somewhat
reengineered to remove hard limits on threads since that page was
written.  And indeed, I don't run into a limit at 1024 threads.
So that's why I'm asking here, in case someone has more recent
information than the MySQL website.
 Hope this helps,

Thanks, I hope someone has the latest info.

MySQL will never use any index for small tables. With just few rows using index

RE: STUMPED: How Can I Pull Related Info Using Subqueries/Joins?

2003-08-14 Thread Kevin Fries
 Sometimes, movies have more than one director, so the 
 association between movies and directors needs to be in its 
 own table, instead of the movies table. (Otherwise, you're 
 limited to some fixed number of directors per
 film.)
 
 Directors may not be the best example. Think about producers, 
 cast, etc.
 
 Let's say I need to pull all producers for a movie. For a 
 movie that has three producers (aka three matches with a LEFT 
 OUTER JOIN), I'll get three rows -- all with the same movie, 
 but different producers.

 How can I list all of these producers within a single row?
 
   Jurassic Park | Kathleen Kennedy, Gerald R, Molen, Lata 
 Ryan | 35 comments

I can't say I like the idea of concatenating all those items into one.
Look at the parsing difficulty you've gotten yourself into.  Is Molen
a director?  Or is it Gerald R?  
Most databases don't have any functions for this grouping-concatenation,
since it leaves you with a result set that has a field of arbitrary
length.  What about a movie with 500 actors?  
So, really, I prefer to order by the movie, then the director.  While
processing the result set, just be aware you might have duplicate
consecutive movies.  Then you can roll in the directors as you go.

So much for that lecture.  If you're willing to use the ALPHA mySQL 4.1,
there is a method that promises to do what you want:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GROUP-BY-Functions.html, look at
GROUP_CONCAT.  I think that fits the bill, with the caveat that it might
well not be ready for prime-time yet.  Oh, and it won't work on (any)
other databases.

RE: DB Performance - Celeron vs. P4

2003-08-14 Thread Jon Frisby
Is the workload I/O bound, CPU bound, or memory bound?


On Linux, you can get a sense of this as follows:

Run top and vmstat 5 on your MySQL box, and with them running have
your system perform whatever slow operations you are concerned about.

The key numbers here are the swap used % iowait and % idle from
top, and the numbers under the bi and bo columns in vmstat.


Interpreting the output:

-If your swap number is more than a couple megabytes, and/or grows
during these slow operations then you may be memory bound.  If your
server is swapping that will tend to slow everything else down, and if
it's swapping *MySQL* then you'll really have issues.  

-If your % idle number is very low, then you may in fact be CPU bound
-- especially in conjunction with relatively small bi/bo numbers.
In this event a new CPU may or may not help much.  (See below.)

-If *either* of your bi/bo numbers is very high, or your % iowait
is high you may be I/O bound.  The definition of very high depends
upon your disk setup:  If you have a single IDE drive then a bi or
bo of more than 2,000 is pretty high.  If you have a hardware IDE
RAID5 array with a lot of disks then the number may be more like 20,000.


Solutions:

-First and foremost:  The largest performance gains to be had come from
optimizing your indexes, schema, and queries.  Depending upon what you
wish to accomplish and how well designed your indexes/schema/queries
are, you may be able to achieve several orders of magnitude improvement
without any hardware changes.  Our hourly reporting queries here wound
up taking  36 hours to run eventually despite carefully designed
indexes and queries.  The problem was that first and foremost our schema
had to be optimal for transactional access and this resulted in
reporting queries that involved lots of joins and group bys at once.  A
carefully designed reporting schema and an incremental mechanism for
loading new data from the transactional schema into the reporting schema
allowed us to eliminate several joins, filesorts, and so forth from the
reporting process (as well as making it easier to design queries where
we didn't re-process the same data over and over) and the net result was
that what once took 36+ hours now takes a couple minutes on exactly the
same hardware (but with much more data at this point).  Your situation
may or may not be conducive to software optimization, but be sure to
think beyond how do I make this query fast and consider how do I
minimize the amount of work MySQL has to do.

That said, more hardware might be beneficial:

-Are you swapping?  If so, adding more RAM is the obvious choice,
however is MySQL is being swapped out then the first step is to curtail
MySQL's memory usage.  You can tell if MySQL is being swapped out by
looking at the row(s) for mysqld in top and seeing if the number under
RSS is substantially smaller then the number under SIZE.  If this is
the case, you should consider lowering MySQL's memory usage and see if
that helps before adding more RAM.

-Are your bi/bo numbers very high?  If so, a new CPU is unlikely to
provide a substantial improvement.  The hardware approach here is either
more RAM (and telling MySQL to use it) or a hardware RAID array (more
spindles = faster I/O).  Which one is appropriate depends upon whether
MySQL is writing to temp tables and/or doing file sorts or is simply
changing a LOT of rows.

-Is your % idle very low (especially in conjunction with low bi/bo
numbers)?  If so, a new CPU will probably help.

 I have verified that deletes cascade as expected.

http://www.innodb.com/ibman.html#InnoDB_foreign_keys


A deviation from SQL standards: if ON UPDATE CASCADE or ON UPDATE SET NULL
recurses to update a table for which there already is an update operation in
the stack of cascaded operations, it acts like RESTRICT. In plain English
this means that you cannot use self-referential ON UPDATE CASCADE or ON
UPDATE SET NULL operations. This is to prevent infinite loops resulting from
cascaded updates. A self-referential ON DELETE SET NULL, on the other hand,
works starting from 4.0.13. A self-referential ON DELETE CASCADE has always
worked.


InnoDB does not check what rows it has already updated during the SQL
statement. To prevent infinite recursions I let it simply check if it
recurses to the same table.

Since you normally do not update the primary key of a row, ON UPDATE CASCADE
is seldom used in well-designed schemas.

 Any help is greatly appreciated,

Subject: Re: reindexing

 what is the command to update InnoDB table indexes?

if you mean update index cardinality statistics, then starting from 4.0.13:


ANALYZE TABLE now works also for InnoDB type tables. It makes 10 random
dives to each of the index trees and updates index cardinality estimates
accordingly. Note that since it is only an estimate, repeated runs of
ANALYZE TABLE may produce different numbers. MySQL uses index cardinality
estimates only in join optimization. If some join is not optimized in the
right way, you may try using ANALYZE TABLE.


If you mean defragmentation, then dump + drop + reimport is the method. Note
that you should add the indexes directly into the CREATE TABLE statement
before the import. Creating indexes afterwards is slow, because MySQL
recreates the whole table for each index you add.

  force MySQL to update it's assumptions and thus do a better job of
  optimizing searches.

Select match from a stored delimitated string?

2003-08-14 Thread Verdon vaillancourt
Hi :)

I'm not even sure if I'm naming the question correctly. I hope I can
ask/explain it clearly enough to get a hint ;)

Essentially...

1) I have a table of portfolio 'pieces', each row of which has a unique ID

2) I have a table of 'projects', which are comprised of a number of
'pieces'. There is a column in this projects table called 'pieces', which
contains a delimitated string of all the 'pieces' related to that 'project',
in the format of '1||2||3||5||12||16||17||24||25'

3) When viewing a data sheet of a single row in the table 'pieces', I'd like
to be able to include a reference to any 'projects' that the said piece may
be a member of.

I've tried a few things like

$ID = '1';

SELECT * from projects WHERE pieces LIKE '$ID%'
- which will find anything that starts with $ID, such as
1||3||4

SELECT * from projects WHERE pieces LIKE '%$ID%'
- which will find anything that contains $ID, such as
1||3||4
5||1||72||8
3||5||21||9
3||5||17||9

What I can't figure out how to do is to select this
3||5||1||9

Without selecting something like
3||5||21||9 or
3||5||17||9

Is this possible in a single sql statement, or do I have to select all rows
of 'projects' and use php to somehow loop through the results, explode the
delimitated strings, and look for the exact match this way, somehow.

If you haven't noticed, I'm a little bit of a newbie, so please be nice :)

Salut,
verdon

This sounds like it'll be a classic disk I/O problem.  Sooner or later
you hit the wall on what a single disk is able to do for you.  The
only real solution is a faster disk or adding more disks to spread the

Adding memory will help a very small amount.  Storing less data, of

But it sounds like you may have done some of that already.

It's a perl DBI question not a MySQL one but anyways...

$sth is just a statement handle and if you print it it gives you a hash ref,
so is not an error.

After preparing you should do an execute on the statement than fetch the
results. Better, use a prepare-execute-fetch all-in-one command like:

selectall_arrayref(select * from ...)
As its name says, it returns an array ref with your results.

man DBI will give you every detail on this however you should get familiar
with perl data types and references manipulation.

RE: MySQL Replication

2003-08-14 Thread Ian Neubert
Good question :)

I got a message from a person off the list that suggested I use network disk
mirroring or a NAS/SAN/NFS system to handle that. I'm not sure if the
mirroring would be 100% perfect, but the NAS/SAN solution should as either
server would be reading and writing to the same physical data.

But, then I have another point of failure. Heh.

I realize that creating the perfect HA system is probably the most difficult
thing to do, and doesn't come cheaply either. However, I'm going to think it
through and try anyway :)

I've read your presentations on your website and have used that info for my
plan here, but its a little difficult to get details from just the slides
(as you even mentioned on your site) :)

Do you bother with multi-masters? How do you ensure redundancy on the
write/master server?

How can you absolutely guarantee that each master's binlog will be

If you can't, this scenario really falls apart.

RE: Form values are truncated

2003-08-14 Thread James Johnson
Hi Dan, all,

I don't know PERL, just coming back to speed on PHP after 3+ years with
ColdFusion. 

Trim() is a function listed in my PHP Functions book, not something I wrote.
It's supposed to: removes all whitespace characters from both the left and
right ends of a string... A space (ASCII 32) is considered a char to
remove, but since it's in the middle of the string, I don't understand why
it's being removed.

or you could fix or replace the trim function with one that does not remove
that data.

Is there a library of PHP user defined functions out there?

Thanks,

James

 All,
 

Howdy,

 I'm building a member signup form. Fields that contain more
 than one word are being truncated when being inserted into 
 the MySQL table.
 
 I'm  using this code that I got from one of my PHP books.
 
 $as_addr1 = addslashes($_POST['addr1']);$tr_addr1 = trim($as_addr1);

I think trim is trimming off the stuff after the first whitespace? What is
the trim function supposed to do?

Mysql isn't doing it your PHP is.
Use Perl and I bet it starts working :) ok, or you could fix or 
replace the trim function with one that does not remove that data.

HTH

DMuey

 
 So, if I post 1122 Boogie St. it gets inserted as 1122.
 If I remove the addslashes portion, only using trim, I get 
 the same result.
 
 Here's the query:
 $query = INSERT INTO subscribers 
   (email,password,fName,lName,addr1) 
   VALUES
 ('$tr_email','$tr_pass','$tr_fName','$tr_lName','$tr_addr1';
 
 echo $query;
 
 Here's the echo:
 INSERT INTO subscribers (email,password,fName,lName,addr1)
 VALUES('[EMAIL PROTECTED]','','Jim','Johnson','78797 State')
 
 I have other fields in the table that are doing the same
 thing. All fields are varchars of varying length. Field 
 addr1 is varchar(50).
 
 Suggestions?

RE: InnoDB crash - recover + bug

2003-08-14 Thread Mads Jrgensen
 Greetings all.

 I have a bit of a problem here, a database i'm administering was somehow =
 corrupted, and i'm unable to recover it in any way.

what happened? A power outage? You deleted the ib_logfiles? Modified my.cnf?
Hard disk broke?

Thats the weird thing, nothing abnormal happened, i just saw the mysqld using a lot of 
resources and shut it down. I suppose it must have been a query, or the database 
beeing to large or something.

What does uname -a say about the Linux kernel in Debian-unstable?

It says its running a 2.4.19 kernel, i686 on GNU/Linux

 Is there any way at =
 all to recover a corrupt InnoDB database? (I read on innodb.com that it =
 is impossible, but hope it is not)

You should always take backups of valuable data, and also keep the MySQL
binlog so that you can replay the modifications after the backup.

So i understand, i'm used to running MyISAM tables, and have never had any problems 
with data corruption before now. Nothing a good myisamchk couldent fix anyhow.

I do have a backup, just not old enough. I've been on vacation, so therefore the data 
got rotate out the system and overwritten. I only have corruptet backups. 

 When I run a query from any InnoDB table in the database MySQL crashes =
 with the following stack trace and errors.=20

Did you resolve the stack trace with the right mysqld.sym file? The trace
below is nonsensical.

I think so, but i'll have to get back to you with that. 

What is the query?

What query? The one that triggers the segfault below is any SELECT, SHOW TABLE STATUS 
or what ever reads the files.

What is the complete .err log?

I cannot find any entry in the error before i restartet the mysql process, then it 
complained the below.

shows up as None in phpMyAdmin for each index I have.  If I drop the index
and re-create it, all of the indexes show their correct cardinality.  I
don't think phpMyAdmin is at fault because searching on the table before I
fix it is sluggish until afterwards.  Is the a command I could run that
would re-index everything after I dump the data into the table?  Or what is
going on?

thanks.

Re: replication w/o stopping the master

 See the command LOAD DATA FROM MASTER (

 As I understand it, this puts a read lock on each table as it copies it.
 This provides some interruption to service, but nothing like a stop/start.

But there's a race condition on a busy MySQL server when you use LOAD
DATA to kickstart replication.

What if tables are modified all the time?  The *only* way to get a
consistent image is to lock ALL of them at the same time.

mysqlsnapshot will do that for you:

Re: Corrupt index = mysqld freeze?

   One of my coworkers insists that this is due to corrupt indexes, stating

  Does he have any evidence whatsoever for that?  I'm 99% sure he's
  wrong--at least in *our* cases. :-)
 
 A crash was recreated by running a specific query.

Oh.

You didn't mention crashes in your first note.  That changes
everything.

 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.

Yeah, if you're killing MySQL by force, you really ought to check all
tables and repir broken ones.  Otherwise it's a craps shoot.

  We've seen that happen too on more recent FreeBSD versions with
  LinuxThreads.  So far it's not happening all that often and it seems
  that the chance of it happening is much greater right after MySQL has
  been [re]started.
 
  I haven't had much luck in tracking it down further.  But I have a few
  more ideas next time I see it.
 
 We aren't running Linux threads.  We didn't seem to be experiencing
 any of the issues it helps.

At least not the obvious ones. :-)

We've found that on moderately busy machines here, upgrading to a
LinuxThreads-based MySQL reduced CPU utiliization by 30% or so.

 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.

Ugh.

 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.

Hmm.  I hadn't noticed that yet.  But I hadn't thought to look at
disconnect rates either.

 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.

I don't know how to do this with pthreads but with LT, I'd like to
identify a few of the pids for the struck threads and then get a
snapshot of the call stack to see where they're waiting.

Re: Tracking a delete

How can I see if a record was deleted from a database?

Jeff
You can attempt to SELECT it, and if you get no result, it's not there.
But that doesn't necesarily mean that it was once there and has now been
deleted.  If you want to determine that, you'll need to create a log
of record deletions.

have you looked at the file permissions of the directory itself?
looks only maciej:staff may access this one, but no mysql user.

Betreff: mysqld cannot access innodb


 Dear Sirs,
 
 I can not start MySQL server.
 More specifically, MySQL was running fine all the time since 
 installation. It stopped working after I used FmPro Migrator to convert 
 some File Maker databases to MySQL
 
 It looks like mysqld has no access permissions to InnoDB and I do not 
 know how to fix it.

RE: Corrupt index = mysqld freeze?

2003-08-14 Thread Jennifer Goodie
 Setting skip-name-resolve will avoid this code path and the bug.  It
 looks like some DNS funkyness...


I've implented this and so far I can't get the box to hang in authentication
no matter how mean I am to it.  I feel so dumb, for not thinking of this
before, I swore I had already done it about a year ago when all of the other
boxes were set up to skip name-resolve.  I'll post if I can get it to lock
up again (let's hope I can't).
