Converting from MS SQL Server to MySQL
I am sure conversion questions are asked a lot, I need to move what is a MS SQL Server database to a MySQL database, both table stuctures, data, and a web application with a very large number of queries. I am looking for any advice on this undertaking, things to be mindful of and such, and if anyone knows a good site that explains more on this topic, links would also be very appreciated. My ultimate goal is to port it successfully so none of the queries crash later on.

RE: Converting from MS SQL Server to MySQL
The *best* way to do this is via conversion software. I find that for table creation and data transfer, http://dbtools.com.br has the best free tool. It converts all your Access and SQL based databases over to MySQL without any hitches. Really good help files and web site as well. Intelligent Converters also has a good tool, but it's not free (http://convert-in.com) J.R. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

My ultimate goal is to port it successfully so none of the queries crash later on. Well, there are differences in datatypes, defaults and more like that stuff, so it might be a bit more work. To get a head-start, an automated migration tool might help, of course. Make sure to check out the Schema Migrator tool in Database Workbench ( www.upscene.com ) - it might help you a lot.

Thank you, Benoit Tremblay -- NerdzTeam [EMAIL PROTECTED] ### Servus, to know what stops your MySQL Daemon you must look in your Log-File of this one. I don't know where it is in your system but it helps to add a separate one in [mysqld2] err-log = /var/log/mysql2d/mysqld.log and then look for the real problem (probably permissions ;-) But maybe you should wait an moment, because I have with this mysqld_multi a problem who can give you some trouble, too! As soon as I start the second Daemon the Socket of the first (main) Daemon disappears!! You can connect over TCP, but by default it tries the Socket at localhost. I have MySQL 5.0 running and maybe you haven't got this problem, but think about it. I posted about my Problem to the List (mysqld_multi kills socket from previous Daemon from 2004-04-07), but up to now I haven't got an answer and still don't know whats going on with my Sockets!

I briefly looked in there. This is the same script it uses to start MySQL, and was

I would think it should come with all available options already...
To me, it doesn't look like it even reads that option from the my.cnf file. It doesn't
look like its reading any option from mysqld_safe group.

Well ... that doesn't tie in with what I'm reading about mysql cluster, namely it being a main memory database where all data is kept in memory. I guess you can probably run multiple instances of the cluster node on one machine, having the data split across them in a fairly transparent manner. However, there is ... very minimal technical information available on mysql.com about exactly what mysql cluster (ie. mysql on top of NDB) is and what it is really designed for. I looked at the NDB API docs in the bitkeeper tree, which help a bit ... but not all that much. It doesn't look like the current ndb code has any PAE support ... at least on Unix. It does some AWE-ish calls on windows but I don't think those are to actually allows more than somewhere between 2 and 4 gigs per process the way it is being used, unless I am missing something. My overview so far is that it is designed for very though transaction rate systems, with a large number of fairly simple transactions, and also possibly systems with a large amount of read activity. All of this needs to be on a moderately sized data set, since the design is based on it being an in memory database. In any case, since the NDB storage engine is used in place of myisam or innodb... even if it could address more memory using PAE, that wouldn't mean other storage engines could. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Slow Connection from PHP to MySQL 5.0
Hi Folks. I've seen similar questions asked both here, and via a google search - but I haven't found an answer which has helped yet - so heres hoping!! I run a Linux webserver which has PHP 4 installed, and am currently prototyping a design using MySQL 5.0-alpha on Windows 2K professional. The two servers are on different subnets of a LAN, but are able to talk to each other unrestricted (all TCP services I have tried work perfectly, e.g. SMTP, FTP). The problem is that connections from PHP to MySQL seem to take 4-5 seconds (after which any queries within the connection go through in normal lengths of time - only the connection time itself is long). Although I have a fully functional internal DNS server, I thought name resolution might be an issue. I amended my PHP pages (they inherit a global 'data connection' object which is used as a wrapper) to connect to the Win2k box by IP address - and the problem persists. Has anyone else encountered this, and are there any ideas? Connections from the same Linux box with PHP to another Linux box on the same subnet as the Win2k box running MySQL 4 work perfectly - so is it possible this is a MySQL 5 issue? I am using the 'old connections' flag (but have tried both with it off and on, since I am not actually using a password for the connection at present). Any suggestions will be most gratefully received! Cheers, Matt -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Absolutely, do a left join and check for NULL values from the other table.

Learning curve
Hi all! I'm wondering if anyone can help me find out how much time/training is needed to accomplish my task using MySQL. My background: I'm fresh to the world of MySQL and databases in general. I do have some fundamental knowledge in the area of programming and databases, but nothing too in-depth. My story: I work for a University that is seemingly falling behind the technical times. My department is using MS Access as the primary software for handling data, but we're still mainly hard-copy for our records-management. Obviously, there are problems with keeping hard-copy for everything. I was buried in paperwork for a short while before I decided to create simple databases/forms using OpenOffice.org, since it was so easy. Someone in management noticed the consistency emerging from my office and inquired. When I told them about my databases, they decided everyone in the department could benefit from them and assigned the project of making this available to all. My problem: My databases are single-user systems for use in OpenOffice.org and would be difficult to roll them out to my entire team. I don't want to install OO.o on everyones computer and I don't want to learn MS Access as it is known for being a temporary solution. So I need something that can keep up with the times and can be rolled out easily (web interface?). I also need to be able to append scanned images to records (PDF or JPEG?). This is all pretty complex and I'm definitely not technically equipped to create this just yet. MySQL?: I believe a good question would be whether or not MySQL would be a good solution for this. What do you think? Also, how long would it take me to learn the necessary information? Lastly, how long would it take to develop such a system? I appreciate your time and information! Thanks, Mike T.

Indexing a TEXT column
Using mysql 3.23.53, i have a table with approx 1.000.000 records, and only 3 columns. One of these (called 'value') is usually between 50 and 150 characters, but occasionally jumps to a current maximum of 570 characters, so I figured I had to go for the TEXT type. now I tried to add an index on this column. Using length 150 does not work : mysql just bails out pretending everything went fine, but there's no index to be seen. Using length 100 does create the index, but afterwards any query on that column will return 0 results. So the index is bogus (although it is 27MB !) I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade to 4.x, since I'm afraid other stuff will break. can anyone help me out here ? thanks ! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Proces table entries
Hi, When trying to improve system performance of my webserver, I found out that there are 10 entries of [mysqld] in the Unix proces table (ps aux), even when there are only one or two processes visible with the mysqladmin proceslist command. Those entries in the Unix proces table consume much memory and make the system slower than necessary. Does anyone have a hint about how to limit the number of Unix processes. I do have another (test) system, which is working fine. This system has about one entry in the Unix proces table for each mysql thread (as expected). However I cannot spot any differences in configuration between both systems. (at least not in my.cnf). See output underneath.

Locking tables
I've found a nice shell script to use to backup my server's MySQL databases. https://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/ However, when I tried this earlier today it resulted in a corrupt table. Now the table in question is one I've had issues with for other reasons, but it has over 2 mil records in it when only partially built. What I need to do is put a lock on the database/tables before the script is run. The script allows for a pre post shell script to run. So what do I need to do before running any backup scripts to ensure the tables will not be corrupted during any kind of shell operation? Do I have to stop services like mysqld or httpd before hand? Does anyone use MySQL 4.0.18 and the hot copy instead?

how to rewrite this query without using temporary table
Hi, I have 2 tables.patientrecall_table and appointment_table.The patientrecall_table used to store what is the nextrecall date for the patient while the appointment_tablewill store all the appointments made.Now, I'd like to get through this:"Patients Due for Recall, but No Scheduled Appointment between certain date."In other words, I will need to:select those patients who their next recall date greater thantoday date AND they don't have appointment made between thedate from and date to. Currently, what I did was using the temporary table approach.And it was working fine. create temporary table tmpA(ssn varchar(9) not null);insert into tmpA select ssn from appointment_table where (appdate between '2004-04-15' and '2004-04-30') group by ssn;select a.ssn from patientrecall_table as aleft join tmpA as bon a.ssn=b.ssnwhere a.nrd=current_date and b.ssn is null;drop table tmpA; Is there any other ways that I can use instead of using the temporary table? Please advise. Thank you. //*** mysql desc patientrecall_table;+---++--+-++---+| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |+---++--+-++---+| ssn | varchar(9) | | PRI | | || nrd | date | | | -00-00 | |+---++--+-++---+2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql desc appointment_table;+-+-+--+-++---+| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |+-+-+--+-++---+| appdate | date | | | -00-00 | || ssn | varchar(9) | | | | || remark | varchar(50) | | | | |+-+-+--+-++---+3 rows in set (0.00 sec) Server version: 4.0.18-nt //***

Can not get an answer here - how to force the index block size to be the same?
It seems to be either a hard question or stupid question:). Is there anyway in Version 4.1.1 I can force all the indexes to have same block size? Say 2048? If it is plain impossible without changing the source code, please let me know. I really appreciate any help on this. Thanks HT __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Can not get an answer here - how to force the index block size to be the same?
I don't know the answer to your question but I'm curious to know why you would want to do this. Normally, that sort of detail is handled by the database and should not be a consideration for any user of the database. In other words, your queries should work regardless of whether the block sizes for indexes are the same or differ. I would be quite surprised if MySQL - or any decent relational database - gave you a way to control those block sizes. Or is this really a locking question? I'm not sure how MySQL handles the management of index pages and the corresponding data pages that they represent but DB2 (mainframe) gives you some control over whether indexes use full pages or subpages to let you minimize the number of rows locked by a given user. The more subpages you use, the fewer data pages get locked. However, you also tend to need more index space than if you didn't use subpages.

repeated/duplicated query problem
Hello fellow listoers, Long time reader first time poster. :P I just recently installed a MySQL server to back-end a mail system (PHP webmail, SMTP, and IMAP servers). Everything is working pretty well, but I have a reallt odd problem I can't difure out. I've asked a few times in #Mysql on freenode.net and noone has seen it before; hoepfully someone here can help me troubleshoot it or fix it. First some info: Pentium 4 3.20 GHz w/HT (2 logical CPUs) 1GB RAM FreeBSD 4.9 MySQL 4.0.18 (via ports) When I was setting up the whitelist/blacklist stuff in webmail, I noticed it was adding two records for every one entry on the list (when I added [EMAIL PROTECTED], two would be put in the db). Deleting them also removed two, so I didn't notice at first. After screwing up some things and discovering a huge table with lots of duplicates, I started watching the logs. After spending probably hours playing with loops and other PHP things I noticed that, at the end of each script I ran, the last (and only the last) query got repeated. If I was adding a user to the whitelist, the final INSERT query was sent/processed two times. I hacked around this (had to get it up and running :( sigh) by adding a null 'SELECT '' from table... query, which was sone twice. Since this was the last query, the real queries were only done once, so its a patch but not a fix. I watched as I checked with my IMAP clients (Mozilla and PHP) and the password SELECT query was repeated. I watched as I sent myself some email and some of the queries from the SMTP server were repeated. Luckily these are all SELECTs; I do any INSERTs, UPDATEs, and MODIFYs manually right now, except for spam settings mentioned above, but this will change in the future. Basically I'm saying it isn't a PHP issue, or a script looping issue, and seems to me like a MySQL (and/or FreeBSD) issue. I guess it could be a client issue, but it's odd that every application accessing the server has the same problem. Maybe a FreeBSD MySQL client/library port problem. Based on talks in #mysql, I watched the logs when using the mysql client (both localhost socket file and over TCP like the other servers), and mysql only ran the commands once -- no duplications. I'm pretty stumped as to what the problem is and what to do about it, or even how to diagnose the problem. I'm not sure if it duplicates the last query on a per-connection basis, or something else...but it only duplicated the last query in the PHP scripts (probably on a per-connection basis).

how to rewrite this query without using temporary table
Lorenzo, Try this: select P.ssn from patientrecall_table as P left join appointment_table as A on P.ssn = A.ssn and appdate between '2004-04-15' and '2004-04-30' where P.nrd = current_date and A.ssn is null Before applying the where clause, the left join will have - a row for each appointment in the given range - a row for each patient who doesn't have an appointment Then the where clause throws away the ones with appointments. regards, Bill From: lorenzo.kh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how to rewrite this query without using temporary table Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2004 12:03:04 +0800 I have 2 tables. patientrecall_table and appointment_table. The patientrecall_table used to store what is the next recall date for the patient while the appointment_table will store all the appointments made. Now, I'd like to get through this: Patients Due for Recall, but No Scheduled Appointment between certain = date. In other words, I will need to: select those patients who their next recall date greater than today date AND they don't have appointment made between the date from and date to. Currently, what I did was using the temporary table approach.And it was = working fine. create temporary table tmpA(ssn varchar(9) not null); insert into tmpA select ssn from appointment_table=20 where (appdate between '2004-04-15' and '2004-04-30') group by ssn; select a.ssn from patientrecall_table as a left join tmpA as b on a.ssn=3Db.ssn where a.nrd=3Dcurrent_date and b.ssn is null; drop table tmpA; Is there any other ways that I can use instead of using the temporary = table?

Re: Can not get an answer here - how to force the index block size to be the same?
Paul Because I want to use the load index into cache... to pre-load the indexes into cache. But I can not use this feature since the block size of indexes are different (1024 vs. 2048), and the load index into cache.. complains about it. Any idea? Thanks a lot!

Slightly OT: MySQL + PHP and escaping data to output to a web page
Hi all. Yes I know this is a little off-topic, but also a little on-topic... I have a user who likes to use the 'less than' sign ( ) in notes he enters into the DB. When I print them out to a web page, they are interpreted as an HTML code and everything after them '' is not printed. I'm currently using: replace(replace(NoteText, '', '#060'), '', '#062') as NoteText to replace the offending characters with HTML escape codes. Is there a cleaner way of doing this? Thanks!

PHP + MySQL Not Playing Nice Any More
So I'm using PHP and MySQL to serve up a game and all is going well until today. The first problem came when for some reason the game was sending apache as the username to access the db (which is not what I have in the dbconnect file) and output some errors. I checked the page it was complaining about and all was good so I use phpmyadmin to login and admin my db but now even phpmyadmin won't let me in and I know I haven't touched the config file since I first set it up.
