source command in interactive mode (unix host)

2003-10-29 Thread Walt Sully
I use MySQL in both a Unix real C/S config and then on my laptop standalone. The 
documentation on the Web site showing how to take commands from a file is simple 
enough. source file_name_containing_commands;  and this works just fine in Windows, 
but in UNIX, no matter how I try to resolve the filename e.g., $HOME/my/source 
file_name_containing_commands; or explicitly dereferencing the path to the command 
file, I get syntax error.  Of course, it doesn't work with the same as Windows line 
above since the server executing the CLI looks to its local dir. 

I've spent several hours on this simple, but frustrating problem. Yes. I know the 
workaround is run in batch mode with the mysql being fed a source 
file_name_containing_commands arg, but I am now simply confounded by my 
[mis]understanding of this simple feature.

thanks in advance. I also did many searches across the archives before posting, so if 
I missed a prior post forgive me.

Re: MySQL Package Install for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)

2003-10-29 Thread Kim Kohen
G'day Sam

 I am upgrading to Panther and I need to install MySQL.  Does anybody
 know if the Mac OS X Installer Package v10.2 (Standard) works with
 10.3?  If it doesn't then what would be the best installation method on
 a clean 10.3 installation?

FWIW, I upgraded to Panther on the weekend and MySQL 4.0.12 is still humming
along just fine. I don't use the MySQL build, I use MySQL Complete from
www.serverlogistics.com . I have seen something strange with PHP (can't echo
anything shorter than 17 characters) but I believe they are working on new
builds anyway.

cheers

help with startup accesss

2003-10-29 Thread trogers
Hello,

I've reinstalled my system (Mac OS 10.3 Server).
In trying to get MySQL going again.  I can run mysql_install_db, but I 
can't access the mysql db and I can not set a root user password.
If I try to login: mysql -u root
it says access denied to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I simply type mysql (no quotes) I get into MySQL, but cannot 
affect the MySQL db.

I seem to remember that perhaps the answer is to chown -R on MySQL's 
data files, but I'm not sure where/which those are!

I have the following:
/var/mysql/ (2 folders are in there 'test' and 'mysql', among a few 
other files -- that must be the mysql db?); I also have 
/usr/share/mysql/ (in here are the .cnf files, e.g., my-huge.cnf, et 
al).  I do not see a folder called data anywhere, or I haven't found 
it.  :-(

HELP, please?

Ted R.

Re: Is MySQL Relational? (was: Foreigner keys in MySQL?)

2003-10-29 Thread Martijn Tonies
Hi,

 For decades, people have debated in comp.databases.theory and elsewhere
how
 a 'relational database' should be defined.

 Codd's original 1970 paper sketches the relational algebra as a query
 language of a relational database, though Codd is not very precise about
 what the query language exactly should be. The paper also mentions
integrity
 constraints. Relations in the 1970 paper are defined as mathematical sets,
 that is, no duplicate rows in tables or any query results are allowed.

 Thus, no SQL database is Codd-1970-relational, because SQL allows
duplicate
 rows.

 Codd's 12 rules, from about 1987, demand that a 'relational database' must
 satisfy several strict conditions. For example, any view 'theoretically
 updateable should be updateable with the data manipulation language'.

Mainly because views and tables are pretty much the same in the theory.

 No existing database is even close to being Codd-12-relational.

Indeed.

 On the other hand, for example, Elmasri and Navathe in their university
 textbook define a 'relational database' less strictly, and mention
Microsoft
 Access and Oracle as examples of an 'RDBMS'.

 Thus, MySQL apparently is Elmasri-Navathe-relational, but not
 Codd-1970-relational. The same holds for DB2, Oracle, and MS SQL Server.

I guess it also comes down to what you're used to work with. If you're used
to using domains, check constraints etc, you might consider any database
engine that doesn't have these, a lesser database engine.

Luckily - as said before - things are improving.

Re: Is MySQL Relational? (was: Foreigner keys in MySQL?)

2003-10-29 Thread Martijn Tonies



 Begging to differ, no vendor that I'm aware of claims to be compliant with
a
 paper or textbook. They tend to comply with an adopted standard such as:

 ANSI/ISO/IEC 9075-1(through 5):1999
 ISO/IEC 9075-1(through 5):1999


Yes, a strange thing too IMHO. The SQL standard defines a so-called
standard for accessing (relational) data. But it doesn't define a relational
database engine - it defines a way to access data it and partly based on the
relational theory.

 Collectively known as SQL:1999. While I'd offer that MySQL *is* a
relational
 database, (even though I'm very new to the environment); I think there's
some
 ways to go before MySQL has core compatibility with SQL:1999. That's
what's
 more important to me, the adoption of accepted standards.

Ha, I beg to differ when it comes to accepted standard here... it might be
some
kind of standard, but the implementations are almost always different.

And I believe the SQL standard has gone wy beyond it by defining
triggers
and procedures as well. Then again - if the (PSQL) language would be
standard,
you would be able to switch engines pretty quick :-)

could matt explain why?

Thx matt..

Matt W [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Hi,
 
 OK, did you just create key1 and CreatedTime? If you didn't have them
 before and don't need them, you can remove them and just create this
 index for your query (you can definitely replace key1 with this):
 
 ALTER TABLE article
 ADD INDEX (ClassID, Auditing, CreatedTime, ArticleID);
 
 And then the query should only use the index for execution. Then you can
 of course run the second query to get all columns you want:
 
 SELECT * FROM article WHERE ArticleID IN (Comma seperated list of
 ArticleIDs from first query) ORDER BY CreatedTime;
 
 
 Hope that helps!

MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.16 +Optimizer behaviour

2003-10-29 Thread Sergey S. Kostyliov
Hello all,

Default optimizer behavior has changed in 4.0.16 (since 4.0.14)
for this simple question:

select state_id, orderdata_id from order_delivery where
orderdata_id in
(3193340,3193343,3193346,3193349,3193352,3193355)
and is_deleted=0 order by xtime desc

  `state_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `xtime` datetime NOT NULL default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  `admin_user_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `note` text NOT NULL,
  `is_deleted` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY `orderdata_id` (`orderdata_id`),
  KEY `is_deleted` (`is_deleted`),
  KEY `xtime` (`xtime`)
) TYPE=InnoDB |

Due to this simple queries with  WHERE IN() became aprox. 30 time slower in my case.
MyISAM in not affected.
Have anyone ever seen such problems with InnoDB tables in 4.0.16?

crashed tables after copy

2003-10-29 Thread Brian Moon
Over the last two days, we have upgraded the OS on our two database 
servers.  We have one that handles the database for our content and the 
other handles the database for our forums.

For completeness sake, they were both running RH 7.1 with kernels 
patched for ReiserFS.  The data was stored on a ReiserFS, Raid 5 
partition.  Both databases were running 4.0.15a.

Here is the problem we had.

We shut down server A cleanly and rsync'd the database dir over to 
server B.  Shortly after doing this, we started getting 145 errors on 
some of the data we had just moved.  We stopped mysql, repaired 
(myisamchk -of) the tables and got going again.  Shortly after that, the 
tables were crashed again.  We then repaired again, dumped to a .sql 
file, then recreated the tables from scratch.  From that point on, no 
problems.

We upgraded server A to RH 9.  We then moved all the data from server B 
over to server A using rsync.  Again, shortly after, crashed tables. 
repair, no good.  dumped the tables in question, rebuilt from scratch, 
no problem.

So, is there something I did that could have caused this?  It was not 
the same tables each time.  While I don't plan on moving the data around 
any time soon, I do need to set up a slave and don't want to screw 
anything up.  I normally rsync or tar up the data on the master as LOAD 
DATA FROM MASTER has not proven reliable over WAN for me.

If php gives you the error that mysql_connect is a call to an undefined

Upgrade to MySQL 4.1.0-alpha [No Virus found]

2003-10-29 Thread laurent . paul




Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade to version 4.1.0-alpha of MySQL from version 3.23.51
on a Windows 2000 platform.
I've downloaded the binary distribution of 4.1.0-alpha and followed the
install process(README.1st) for an upgrade install.

At the step :

* Execute the 'mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql' script in the 'scripts
directory:

  c:\mysql\bin\mysql  c:\mysql\scripts\mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql

i got the error message : ERROR 1046 at line 1: No Database Selected.
Indeed, the script does not specify a particular database when attempting
to ALTER table user...
Then i tryed to run this script with a mysqlfront client(connected as root)
on the 'mysql' database and got the following error list :

The joined file mysql_structure.sql contains my 'mysql' database structure.

* Another thing i can report is that when i attempt to stop the server
executing the command :
  c:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root shutdown
  i can see the memory freeding in the task manager, but the process
mysqld-opt.exe is still running... Is it normal ?


* One of the reasons i am interested in version 4.1.0 is that it manages
replication with user variables and temporary tables.
  Do i have to upgrade my master server(version 3.23.51) too or is it
possible to get safe replication only by upgrading my slave(s) ?
  If i don't need to upgrade the master, can i use my slave'databases
(except 'mysql') to recover data in case of disaster ?


  Thank you for your help.

Finding information in the last record

2003-10-29 Thread Hunter, Jess
Being real new to MySQL I am having difficulty finding information on how to
retrieve data from the last record in a database.

I have tried using the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() statement but that only works
on a per connection basis and doesn't help all the times.

Basically I want to goto the end of file and pull the data from a particular
field (sku) from the last record/row.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it

Re: Finding information in the last record

2003-10-29 Thread Martijn Tonies
Hi Jess,

 Being real new to MySQL I am having difficulty finding information on how
to
 retrieve data from the last record in a database.

Mind you - the last record doesn't have to be the last record if you're
running an application with multiple users.

That said, the last record in any table using a numeric PK should be the
record with the highest PK value:

select *
from table_name
order by pk_column desc
limit 1

 I have tried using the SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() statement but that only
works
 on a per connection basis and doesn't help all the times.

 Basically I want to goto the end of file and pull the data from a
particular
 field (sku) from the last record/row.

inconsistent query times for same query

2003-10-29 Thread bsavard
Hi everyone. I'm using MySQL 4.0.16 with W2K/SP4 on a 512KB RAM/1.2GHz
Athlon machine (my dev workstation).
I'm having a strange problem: when I execute a query via the MySQL Control
Center, it takes 10 seconds to return. About three seconds into the query,
I issue a mysqladmin processlist and see the State as sending data. To
me, that means the query is done and the server is sending the data to the
client (I'm running both on same machine). The CPU is only at about 4%, but
the hard drive light is flashing like an XMas tree on crack.
I examined the query using Explain and it's using the correct index as I
specified.
If I re-execute the query, it returns in .13 seconds!!!
I thought maybe it was cached by the client so I kill the client and
execute it again - .13 seconds. I restart the server and do it again - .13
seconds. So it doesn't look like anything's being cached. Variables
query_cache_size=0 and query_cache_type=DEMAND, it seems like no caching
should happen.  This happens to other queries as well.
I just don't get it. Why the difference?
The table test has 1,000,000 records, so I'm definitely not complaining
about a subsecond response - but if the public hits the production server
and I get the 10 second version for every query, I'm in trouble.  Since
users dynamically create the queries, I can't count on them being cached -
so any moderately complex query seems to exibit this behavior.  I really
feel like I need to understand why it's happening so I can fix any
underlying problems.
Any ideas


Here's the query - because the users choose several options to build the
query, it's dynamically built via a Java class (don't think that's
relevant, but..):

SELECT
UID,UserName,Gender,City,State,Zip,Country,Age,Photo,OnLine,LastLogon FROM
test USE INDEX (big) WHERE Status=2 AND Viewable=1 AND Age =18 AND Age =
99 AND Photo!='' AND Height =66 AND gender IN ('b') AND Weight =100 AND
Height =60 AND Weight =150 LIMIT 250

The following columns are in the big multi-column index:
Status, Viewable, Online, Age, Height.  See the table definition below.

here are the relavent columns:
+---+---+--+-+--+---+
| Field | Type  | Null | Key | Default
| Extra |
+---+---+--+-+--+---+
| UID   | int(11)   |  | PRI | 0
|   |
| UserName  | char(20)  |  | UNI |

| Age   | tinyint(2)| YES  | MUL | NULL
|   |
| Gender| char(1)   | YES  | | NULL
|   |
| Height  | tinyint(3)| YES  | | NULL |

Now, how do I connect to mysql in the other port? When I use mysql -umysql

login to the machine as a different user. I went to the basedir/bin. I
cannot find a switch for datadir.

There is caching but it is at OS level: on first query, data are

 Read the manual at the section:

 with mysqldump you can dump a whole database.

LIMIT and placeholders

2003-10-29 Thread Fagyal, Csongor
Hi,

This is rather a Perl DBI question than a MySQL one.

I have recently upgraded a MySQL 3.23 server to 4.0. It resulted in some 
of my queries (issued using Perl DBI) starting to fail. It turned out to 
be that  queries like
$sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT whatever FROM something WHERE anything 
LIMIT ?,?);
$sth-execute(1,2);
are no longer working (...you have an error in your query...). 
However, this works:
$sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT whatever FROM something WHERE anything 
LIMIT 1,2);
$sth-execute;
so the problem is with the placeholders in the LIMIT clause.

Interestingly, other placeholders not in the LIMIT part work. For example
$sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT whatever FROM something WHERE anything=?);
$sth-execute(123);
and
$sth = $dbh-prepare(SELECT whatever FROM something WHERE anything=? 
LIMIT 1,2);
$sth-execute(123);
are OK.

Any ideas what causes this behaviour? Maybe I have not upgraded my DBI  
DBD packages properly? Or are LIMIT placeholders no longer supported in 
DBI with MySQL 4?

Thanx,
- Fagyal Csongor

Re: inconsistent query times for same query

2003-10-29 Thread bsavard

Thanks Joseph.

I just to another look at the query and it actually takes 65 seconds on the
first run, not 10 seconds, so this is important for me to understand.

So my next questions are:
Is there any way to tune the OS file system cache?
Is there any way to flush it or examine what's in it?
Seems like if I wait a while, the long query happens again.  Looks like it
flushes itself after  some time - how often does it flush itself?

Thanks again,
-Bob

There is caching but it is at OS level: on first query, data are
fetched from disk; other queries read directly from file system cache.

Hope this helps

 Hi everyone. I'm using MySQL 4.0.16 with W2K/SP4 on a 512KB RAM/1.2GHz
 Athlon machine (my dev workstation).
 I'm having a strange problem: when I execute a query via the MySQL
Control
 Center, it takes 10 seconds to return. About three seconds into the
query,
 I issue a mysqladmin processlist and see the State as sending data.
To
 me, that means the query is done and the server is sending the data to
the
 client (I'm running both on same machine). The CPU is only at about 4%,
but
 the hard drive light is flashing like an XMas tree on crack.
 I examined the query using Explain and it's using the correct index as
I
 specified.
 If I re-execute the query, it returns in .13 seconds!!!
 I thought maybe it was cached by the client so I kill the client and
 execute it again - .13 seconds. I restart the server and do it again -
.13
 seconds. So it doesn't look like anything's being cached. Variables
 query_cache_size=0 and query_cache_type=DEMAND, it seems like no caching
 should happen.  This happens to other queries as well.
 I just don't get it. Why the difference?
 The table test has 1,000,000 records, so I'm definitely not complaining
 about a subsecond response - but if the public hits the production server
 and I get the 10 second version for every query, I'm in trouble.  Since
 users dynamically create the queries, I can't count on them being cached
-
 so any moderately complex query seems to exibit this behavior.  I really
 feel like I need to understand why it's happening so I can fix any
 underlying problems.
 Any ideas


 Here's the query - because the users choose several options to build the
 query, it's dynamically built via a Java class (don't think that's
 relevant, but..):

 SELECT
 UID,UserName,Gender,City,State,Zip,Country,Age,Photo,OnLine,LastLogon
FROM
 test USE INDEX (big) WHERE Status=2 AND Viewable=1 AND Age =18 AND Age
=
 99 AND Photo!='' AND Height =66 AND gender IN ('b') AND Weight =100 AND
 Height =60 AND Weight =150 LIMIT 250

 The following columns are in the big multi-column index:
 Status, Viewable, Online, Age, Height.  See the table definition below.

 here are the relavent columns:

+---+---+--+-+--+---+

 | Field | Type  | Null | Key | Default
 | Extra |

+---+---+--+-+--+---+

 | UID   | int(11)   |  | PRI | 0
 |   |
 | UserName  | char(20)  |  | UNI |
 |   |
 | Status| tinyint(1)|  | MUL | 0

I don't think the MySQL version is relevant.  The change is in 
DBD::mysql 2.9002, which now assumes all values substituted for 
placeholders are strings unless specifically told otherwise.  
Apparently there were situations where quotes were not being added 
when they should have been, which is dangerous.

It's hideously annoying, since it happens even when the variable in 
question has never been used in anything but a numeric context, but 
the only place it really matters is in limits.  MySQL automatically 
converts strings to numbers when necessary in most places, but not in 
limits.  The arguments to LIMIT must be integer constants.

You have to use bind_param() to identify the parameter as an integer. 
Rudy Lippan, the author of DBD::mysql, had a message about it on the 
dbi-users list:

I don't have one gig tables, but I do have a few that come in at a few 
hundred meg.  I actually dump them to another machine on my network 
(100mbit NIC cards) and it usually takes no more than a four or five 
minutes.  Since I do the main dump once a day at 1am, it could run for a 
half hour and I wouldn't care.

For critical data (mainly our accounting database), I do hourly dumps. 
Those tables are relatively small, so it doesn't take more than 40 or 50 
seconds (I've only seen it take that long when things have been pretty 
busy).

RE: How to define a required field in a table?

2003-10-29 Thread Kevin Fries
Michael,

Thanks for informing me on that one.  I was not aware of that problem
with multi-row inserts.  For the sake of consistency with other DBMS's,
I don't use those, and now I'm quite glad.  In fact, this attribute of
mySQL also applies to UPDATE statements, which allow the same columns to
be set to null.  It's further evidence that the database is not the
place to be validating your data, despite the available syntax.  Clients
are who need to check the values.

Kevin

 
 This behavior is not specific to Load Data Infile, it is general to 
 mysql.  You might want to take a look at the docs at 
 http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/constraint_NOT_NULL.html.  The 
 first line 
 is, To be able to support easy handling of non-transactional tables, 
 all fields in MySQL have default values.  Mysql 
 automatically converts 
 missing or illegal values to column defaults, because in the 
 non-transactional case, it cannot roll back when you have an illegal 
 value in the the 300th row of a 500 row insert.
 
 Kevin's example is actually a special case.  Consider:
 
mysql create table testnull (X varchar(10) not null);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
 
mysql insert into testnull values (null);
ERROR 1048: Column 'X' cannot be null
 
mysql insert into testnull values ('first'), (null), ('third');
Query OK, 3 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 3  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 1
 
mysql select * from testnull;
+---+
| X |
+---+
| first |
|   |
| third |
+---+
3 rows in set (0.01 sec)
 
 As you can see, you only get an error in the single row insert case. 
 For multiple rows, the illegal NULL is replaced with the 
 column default 
 ('' in this case), as you see using LOAD DATA INFILE.
 
  The short term solution is to validate the data in the input file 
  before it gets imported. I was hoping there was an option 
 in Load Data 
  Infile to prevent it from converting NULL's to '' or 0. I'd rather 
  have invalid data rejected than converted.
  
  Mike
 
 The usual solution is the one you mention: Verify your data before 
 inserting or loading, rather than counting on mysql to reject 
 bad data. 
   Another option might be to initially define the columns to 
 allow NULL, 
 as there are NULLs in the data.  You could then find the bad data by 
 searching for the NULLs:
 
select * from my_table where should_not_be_null_col IS NULL;
 
 Then do whatever is appropriate.  Of course, which way is easier will 
 depend on your situation.
 
 There is an alternative solution, but it may be overkill compared to 
 what you want.  You can build a copy of mysql from source with the 
 -DDONT_USE_DEFAULT_FIELDS compile option.  I have never tried 
 this, but 
 as I understand it, this will turn off defaults completely, yielding 
 errors for missing or illegal values.  Note that I believe you cannot 
 even explicitly set a default for a column if you use this 
 option, but I 
 could be wrong.
 
 Michael

This is very OS system dependent and I don't know the answer for W2K (I
am a Unix/Linux guy ;). However it seems that the basic rule in almost
any OS is: Use all memory not used by running processes for file
caching.
Is there any way to flush it or examine what's in it?
I don't think you can examine it.
On Unix/Linux systems, I use a trick to flush it : I read a file bigger
than RAM size. (Unix command: cat big_file  /dev/null)
Seems like if I wait a while, the long query happens again.  Looks like it
flushes itself after  some time - how often does it flush itself?
It is probably flushed because the OS needed some memory to read another
file. On Linux, files stay in the cache as long as the system don't need
to reclaim memory; least recently accessed memory is then reused.
I suppose that W2K has the same behavior.
If those long queries are a problem, you should consider adding more RAM
to your server.
Thanks again,

Deleting from multiple tables

2003-10-29 Thread Luis Lebron

I am working on some database tables to handle messages on an intranet.

One table looks like this

msg_id | subject | message | date


there is another table used to track senders and recipients that looks like
this

msg_id | sender_id | recipient_id |


Now what I would like to do is delete any messages that are older than 45
days and the corresponding records in the second table.

How can I delete matching records from both tables at the same time?

A member may belong to several group.

I want to get a results set that shows all members where a given member,

to this using an intermediate temporary table, but I'd like to vaid that if 
there's a way.  The queries I have tried either give me all members in all 
groups, or only records where Jim is a member.  My closest query follows, 
then a sketch of my tables with a results set at the end.  Can someone 
please tell me where I an blowing it?

Re: Mysql Performance Question

2003-10-29 Thread Sergio Salvi
Rainer,

To find out if there is any query that is taking too long to run, enable 
the log-slow-queries option and set long_query_time to some 
initial value like 5 or 10 (it's in seconds).

Then check your slow queries log file and try to understand why those 
queries are taking too much time to run. After you optimize those queries, 
lower the long_query_time value and keep looking at the slow queries log, 
until you get almost no slow queries or your long_query_time is near 1 (or 
zero!)

If you didn't understand, just let me know :)

Table design help

2003-10-29 Thread DeBerry, Casey
I have a small table that contains company contact information:

Table: Contacts
Key
Name
Address
Phone
Email
Website
etc..


What I need to do is associate the type of industry the business servers
from a list of about 40 industries...  My initial thinking was to create
another table that contains all of the industries along with unique key for
each.  So table would look like

Table: Industries
Industry
Key

The problem is, some businesses server many different industries.  So my
question is, can I add another column to the contacts table that would
associate many different industry key's to the contact?  What is the best
way to design this database to talk with PHP?

Thanks,
Casey DeBerry

I used the MySQL Complete package from Server Logistics and it 
installed fine on my clean Panther install.  Also, the MySQL Preference 
Pane and CocoaSQL work fine as well.

Thanks,

Re: Table design help

2003-10-29 Thread Reverend Deuce
Casey,

I would consider, on the most basic level, a method like this:

Contacts (all the company contact info, etc) using primary key contact_id -
IndustrialRelationships table
- industry_id primary key on Industries table (all the different type of
industries)

So, in the IndustrialRelationships table, it's simply two columns... the
contact_id for the contact, and the industry_id for the industry. Thus, you
can put an arbitrary number of industries associated to a single contact.
Then, later on, you can use this data to determine how many contacts you
have for a given industry. To get the data back out, you could use a JOIN
perhaps.

This is very simple, but it should get you pointed in the right direction. I
might suggest getting a book about or reading some pages regarding data
modeling for more information on normalization.

Re: More LEFT JOIN Headaches

2003-10-29 Thread Michael Stassen
I don't think you really want a LEFT JOIN.  (See 
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/JOIN.html).  What you do need, I believe, is 
a join of group_members with itself to get member IDs on one side whose 
group ID matches Jim's group ID on the other side.

Try something like this:

mysql SELECT groups.name AS group_name, members.name AS username
- FROM group_members AS g1, group_members AS g2, groups, members
- WHERE g1.member_id=1 AND g2.group_id=g1.group_id
- AND members.id=g2.member_id AND groups.id=g2.group_id
- ORDER BY group_name;
++--+
| group_name | username |
++--+
| Blue   | Jim  |
| Blue   | Mary |
| Blue   | Bob  |
| Red| Jim  |
++--+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
I won't promise that's the best way.

PHP is linked to a certain build of the mysql client library.
If you exchanged the mysql server and all of the client stuff, you'll 
need to rebuild PHP, I suppose.

What to do ??
 

Reinstall the mysql client stuff that came with your linux distribution.
You can have several versions of the client libraries on your host.
You might still run into problems with the new password encoding in 
MySQL 4.1 if you try to access it with older clients.

More LEFT JOIN Headaches

2003-10-29 Thread Bill Easton
Dan,

You don't need a LEFT JOIN here.  Left join lets you keep all of the rows in
one table in a
join, even when there are no matching rows in the second table.

You do have to use the group_members table twice, once to find all the
groups to which
Jim belongs, and again to find all of the members of those groups.  Here's a
select
statement that does the trick.

SELECT G.NAME, M.name
FROM group_members A, group_members B, groups G, members M
where A.member_id = 1
  and A.group_id = B.group_id
  and G.id = B.group_id
  and M.id = B.member_id
ORDER BY groups.name;


However, some comments on left joins...

Your proposed example has no WHERE clause, so ALL rows of group_members will
participate in the
join.  The group_members.member_id in the ON clause only limits the rows
of groups which
will be used in the join, rather than perhaps contributing nulls.  (That's
why  you see a row for White.)

A brief description of left joins:

SELECT *
FROM table1 LEFT JOIN table2 ON join_condition;

returns:
  (1) all rows returned by:
 SELECT * from table1, table2 where  join_condition;
  (2) for each row in table1 that does NOT participate in (1), a row
 from table1 with the table2 columns filled in with nulls

Then, you can add a WHERE clause to further restrict the returned rows; in
particular,
you can use table2.column IS NULL to get rows from table1 which do NOT match
table2.

Note that the join_condition in the ON clause does not restrict what rows
from
table1 participate in the result--without a WHERE, you get at least one row
in the result for each
row of table1.  The ON clause DOES affect what rows of table2 get joined to
rows
of table1.

HTH,

Bill

show databases problem

RE: Several tables or huge single table?

2003-10-29 Thread Jan Magnusson
Hi Wolfgang,

I'd say it somewhat depends on what data you have and what you really are
going to use the records for. If you never need to retrieve data for more
than one product at a time and there are significant differences in the data
set between the products then maybe you might split it. Otherways you will
complicate things a lot by not having them in the same table. And is the
data set (not) the same for all the products ? And will you get more
products in the future (ending up adding tables) ? I would anyway go for the
one table solution if there isn't any significant reason to split it on 26
separate tables. And then of cause the data normalisation issue is another
thing.

their own?  Even if they can't see any...that's
fine too!

Size of embedded libmysqld library

2003-10-29 Thread Josh Green
I'm working on an embedded Linux project on the MIPS platform. We have
rather limited space for storing binaries and libs and also limited RAM
so I was trying to trim down libmysqld as small as possible. Currently
the libmysqld.a is about 8MB in size and this is after an objdump
--strip-unneeded on all the object files inside of the .a archive. Does
anyone have any specs on how small libmysqld can be made and what kind
of memory overhead it would have? I'm also interested in how resistant
MySQL is to corrupted databases. This project is on a portable battery
powered device and so the machine could crash at any time. Any tips
would be greatly appreciated.

Multiuser Programming

2003-10-29 Thread William IT
I am doing transfer from MS SQL.
In MS SQL while I connect as USER1 my table will be create as User1.TableName.
This will avoid conlict with other user.

Now, how do I do that in Mysql? Or, maybe there is such system in Mysql. Is there any 
Mysql reference talk about this matter?

RE: Multiuser Programming

2003-10-29 Thread Chris
I'm not familiar with that function in MS SQL, and you're a bit unclear, but it looks 
like you might be able to use temporary
tables.

http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html

Temporary tables are on a per-connection basis, and are unique per connection (each 
connection can have a temporary table that won't
conflict with others). Temporary tables are dropped as soon as the connection is 
dropped.

I thought this list wanted bottom posting?  Sorry if I've got it backwards.

How does connection pooling figure into this?  I would assume a drop table
command would be needed since from MySQL's point of view, the connection
never gets dropped.

MyISAM table corrupting in 4.0.16???

2003-10-29 Thread Adam Clauss
I just upgraded an embedded server application to use 4.0.16 (from 4.0.12)
and now I am quite consistently getting a corrupt table.  I am now getting
Got error 127 from table handler returned as the error.  Copying the data
directory into a true SQL server and executing a CHECK on the involved
tables gives:
1 clients is using or hasn't closed the table properly

This sounds like I locked it, but didn't unlock it?  But I am positive I
did.
I use the following procedure:

AddItem()
LockTable
InsertItem
UnlockTable


Just to double check, I have the a function for LockTable and a function for
UnlockTable.  These functions keep a counter and increment it/decrement it
each time it is called.  I verified that prior to running this query (an
UPDATE query) that the counter is 0 - which indicates that everytime I
locked the table, I unlocked it.

Note that this same code did not cause this problem with 4.0.12 (had
problems in other places, which are the reasons I just upgraded this).

Any ideas?

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.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely
wrong
and this may fail.

Re: Creating backups

Here's a little how to on using cron and scp to do automated backups of 
your data:

Only thing you need to add is the a mysqldump line to your cron script 
before calling the scp.

I don't have one gig tables, but I do have a few that come in at a few 
hundred meg.  I actually dump them to another machine on my network 
(100mbit NIC cards) and it usually takes no more than a four or five 
minutes.  Since I do the main dump once a day at 1am, it could run for a 
half hour and I wouldn't care.

For critical data (mainly our accounting database), I do hourly dumps. 
Those tables are relatively small, so it doesn't take more than 40 or 50 
seconds (I've only seen it take that long when things have been pretty 
busy).

lock timeout error with MySQL 4.0.16 / InnoDB tables

2003-10-29 Thread Ken
When testing my application code I note that
mysql_query() does not return a non-zero
result when a lock timeout occurs -- the error is detected
when I try to retrieve the result set and get a NULL
value.
However, this finding is not consistent; for example
in one block of code a mysql_query() (using SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE 
login_name='joe' LOCK IN SHARE MODE ) will correctly return
a non-zero value if I have deliberately locked (FOR UPDATE) the target 
row previously from another terminal window.

However, in the next block of code with a similiar query eg. SELECT 
COUNT(*) ...LOCK IN SHARE MODE (applied to a different table with
the target row deliberately locked with a FOR UPDATE), mysql_query() 
returns 0 and only when mysql_store_result() returns NULL can I retrieve 
the lock timeout error code.

Why does mysql_query() not consistently return the lock timeout
error code?
Ken

Narrowed it down - it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the table
locking.  I removed ALL locking/unlocking and it made no difference.  Still
getting there error.

What would cause the 127 error? (perror says: 127 = Record-file is crashed)
