MySQL 4.0.21 has been released
Hi, MySQL 4.0.21, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software Database Management System, has been released. It is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. This is a bug fix release for the current production version. Please also note that this is the first 4.0.x version to have our FLOSS licensing exception. This exception allows license compatibility with important Open Source/Free Software projects. More information about our FLOSS licensing exception can be found at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/MySQL_FLOSS_License_Exception.html Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version. News from the ChangeLog: Functionality added or changed: * Print VERSION_COMMENT (from `./configure --comment' during compilation) when starting the server. E.g.: `Version: '4.0.21-debug' socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 0 Official MySQL Binary' * Made the MySQL server not react to signals `SIGHUP' and `SIGQUIT' on Mac OS X 10.3. This is needed because under this OS, the MySQL server receives lots of these signals (reported as Bug #2030). * On Windows, the `mysqld-nt' and `mysqld-max-nt' servers now write error messages to the Windows event log in addition to the MySQL error log. * Renamed the `innodb.status.' files (created in the data directory) to `innodb_status.'. This avoids problems on filesystems that do not allow multiple periods in filenames. * Added `innodb_status_file' system variable to `mysqld' to control whether output from `SHOW INNODB STATUS' is written to a `innodb_status.' file in the data directory. By default, the file is not created. To create it, start `mysqld' with the `--innodb_status_file=1' option. Bugs fixed: * Fixed an old bug in concurrent accesses to `MERGE' tables (even one `MERGE' table and `MyISAM' tables), that could've resulted in a crash or hang of the server. (Bug #2408) * Fixed a bug that caused incorrect results from `GROUP BY' queries with expression in `HAVING' clause that refers to a `BLOB' (`TEXT', `TINYBLOB', etc) fields. (Bug #4358) * Fixed a bug when memory was not released when `HEAP' table is dropped. It could only happen on Windows when a symlink file (.sym) is used and if that symlink file contained double backslashes (\\). (Bug #4973) * Fixed a bug which prevented `TIMESTAMP(19)' fields from being created. (Bug #4491) * Fixed a bug that caused wrong results in queries that were using index to search for `NULL' values in `BLOB' (`TINYBLOB', `TEXT', `TINYTEXT', etc) columns of `MyISAM' tables. (Bug #4816) * Fixed a bug in the function `ROUND()' reporting incorrect metadata (number of digits after the decimal point). It can be seen, for example, in `CREATE TABLE t1 SELECT ROUND(1, 34)'. (Bug #4393) * Fixed precision loss bug in some mathematical functions such as `SQRT()' and `LOG()'. (Bug #4356) * Fixed a long-standing problem with `LOAD DATA' with the `LOCAL' option. The problem occurs when an error happens during the `LOAD DATA' operation. Previously, the connection was broken. Now the error message is returned and connection stays open. * Optimizer now treats `col IN (val)' the same way it does for `col = val'. * Fixed a problem with `net_buffer_length' when building the `DBD::mysql' Perl module. (Bug #4206) * `lower_case_table_names=2' (keep case for table names) was not honored with `ALTER TABLE' and `CREATE/DROP INDEX'. (Bug #3109) * Fixed a crash on declaration of `DECIMAL(0,...)' column. (Bug #4046) * Fixed a bug in `IF()' function incorrectly determining the result type if aggregate functions were involved. (Bug #3987) * Fixed bug in privilege checking where, under some conditions, one was able to grant privileges on the database, he has no privileges on. (Bug #3933) * Fixed crash in `MATCH ... AGAINST()' on a phrase search operator with a missing closing double quote. (Bug #3870) * Fixed a bug with truncation of big values (> 4294967295) of 64-bit system variables. (Bug #3754) * If `server-id' was not set using startup options but with `SET GLOBAL', the replication slave still complained that it was not set. (Bug #3829) * Fixed potential memory overrun in `mysql_real_connect()' (which required a compromised DNS server and certain operating systems). (Bug #4017) * During the installation process of the server RPM on Linux, `mysqld' was run as the `root' system user, and if you had
Re: Query very slow - Using temporary; Using filesort
After Shawn's guidance, I tried inserting with the temporary table method using this: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmpStats (KEY(product_id)) SELECT TP.thread_id, COUNT(TP.thread_id) AS num_posts, MAX(TP.post_date) AS last_update FROM thread_post AS TP INNER JOIN thread_link AS TL ON TP.thread_id = TL.thread_id WHERE TL.category_id = 123456 AND TP.post_date > 1999 GROUP BY TP.thread_id; SELECT TS.num_posts, TS.last_update, TS.thread_id, T.thread_name, i.thread_image FROM tmpStats AS TS INNER JOIN thread AS T ON T.tread_id = TS.thread_id INNER JOIN image AS iON i.thread_id = TS.thread_id AND i.display_type = 'thumbnail' ORDER BY TS.num_posts DESC LIMIT 0, 20; I did some testing and here is the performance on various categories in the form of: #Rows - Time for insert statement - Time for select statement --- 310 rows - 1.56 sec - 0.20 sec 1964 - 4.71 - 0.08 1264 - 1.98 - 0.17 51677- 43.31- 0.12 Then I went back to the old way but it was about 3 to 5 times slower than the above!! I couldn't think of any reason for the extreme slowness (it wasn't that slow before) so I restarted mysql (service mysql restart). Somewhat surprisingly, queries started running much faster. After the restart I got these stats: #Rows - INSERT - SELECT -- 680 - 1.91 - 0.18 1373 - 1.77 - 0.10 4518 - 2.99 - 0.04 6131 - 5.29 - 0.08 6938 - 2.86 - 0.27 6993 - 3.69 - 0.04 9133 - 10.45 - 0.02 18793 - 9.80 - 0.02 24783 - 6.36 - 0.02 The old non-temp table query produced the following: #Rows - SELECT TIME -- 317 - 1.78 388 - 0.89 3721 - 1.93 6025 - 1.83 51677 - 8.54 Neither query seems to be blazing fast. It's also strange to me that restarting mysql would have such a performance benefit. The server is a dedicated mysql server: dual 2 GHz Xeon with 2GB RAM, no raid, no slaves (yet). Seems like queries involving only a few thousand rows should execute faster..??? - John >I know you said this was a translation of your original query.

Re: Is there any performance reason to use "unique index"
A unique index can actually be faster than a regular index. The reason is that MySQL knows that there can only be a single matching row for each value. In particular, this allows you to get "const" and "eq_ref" for the type in an EXPLAIN, which are two of the fastest methods of table access. Even if you aren't use these access methods, it will never be any slower to access than a regular index. Keep in mind that it will take longer to build the index in the first place, and make your decision appropriately.

Re: state my question more clearly Re: WHY this query keeps failure?
I don't think your problem has anything to do with your Update statement or Select statements, assuming you reported them accurately. Could another user of the system have emptied your table? Could you have inadvertently executed a statement or a script that would have emptied it? Those seem like the obvious explanations to me. If neither of those is the cause, you may have stumbled on a really serious bug.

Yes, you're right. Let me explain it more clearly. Before UPDATE, there are 45 records in table "temp" and I updated 9 of them. Mysql returns how many rows were affected which is 9 rows. Then, I opened the table temp and found that table is empty!No records at all.

Estimating Query Performance
G'day all, I was hoping to leech from your amalgamated knowledge: I've been asked to estimate the query performance of several SQL queries that power our Reporting system. At the moment we're preparing to scale up enormously the amount of data we're using in our system, and therefore I'm trying to estimate the length of time these queries will take. We are using Red Hat 7.2/MySQL 3.23.49a I believe (I know, I know - dont ask why). Refering to the manual, section 7.2.2 Estimating Performance (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Estimating_performance.html). I have an issue with the values for the equation given: log(row_count) / log(index_block_length / 3 * 2 / (index_length + data_pointer_length)) + 1 seeks to find a row. Lets take one of my example tables: row_count - 1,024,306 (will soon be ~23,250,000) rows. index_block_length - ? index_length - ? data_pointer_length - ? * data_pointer_length & index_block_length :- I know the manual states: "MySQL an index block is usually 1024 bytes and the data pointer is usually 4 bytes" My issue is, what is meant by *usually*. How can I check. Should I just use these. * index_length :- For this table, it has the following indexes: PRIMARY KEY (`ID`), <- ID is INT(11) KEY `LogTimeIdx` (`LogTime`), <- LogTime is TIMESTAMP(14) KEY `signid` (`SignID`) <- SignID is INT(11) So what would be my index length? * SHOW TABLE STATUS tells me: rows: 1,024,306 avg_row_length: 51 data_length: 52,543,348 index_length: 32,238,592 Any help with the values I should be using or any guidance on estimating a Queries Performance would be unimaginably appreciated.

You said 'table' but I *think* you mean 'result set', right? If temp is empty, your result set from the Select will certainly be empty; that should be obvious: the question is WHY temp is empty. Your table, temp, should not be empty as a result of your update statement because Update does not remove rows and your Update didn't change the 'qid' value. If Update changed 9 rows and MySQL told you that 9 rows were changed, you should still have at least those 9 rows in the table after the update has completed. You can verify that by doing: select count(*) from temp; immediately after running the update. If it returns a value of 0, your table is empty. Otherwise there are rows in the table. > This happened second time.

License question
Hi, Sorry to ask this in here. If it's not the right place please ignore the post. I want to know if someone could claim a license upon an application wich was developed using Php and a non-commercially-licensed copy of MySql. I mean, the application is designed to work only with MySql as database engine and the MySql package delivered with the application, is licensed under GPL. Could the developer claim License rights upon the use of such a combination ?

Re: Query very slow - Using temporary; Using filesort
Thanks Shawn, I'm going to give the temporary table idea a try. I did omit the 'category' table while testing but when I used EXPLAIN the # of rows for the thread_link join increased from 105 to 16326 so I decided to leave the category table in. But I agree, it isn't needed. My other idea I had was to store the number of 'thread_posts' for a thread inside the thread table itself. Obviously this wouldn't be normalized and would have to be maintained or updated frequently to be accurate... It might be a last resort if the temp table doesn't work out. ... But I like to play by normalization rules as much as possible. Thanks again, I'll post any performance improvements. - John -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: when to use backquote in SQL
Single and double quotes are usually string identifiers (double quoted strings can sometimes also refer to database objects) Backticks (backquotes) always refer to database objects (columns, tables, indexes, databases, etc.). Here is the page in the manual that explains it all. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Legal_names.html Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine "leegold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 09/09/2004 02:00:32 PM: > Could anyone link me or explain the purposes of backquotes in an SQL > statement.

WHY this query keeps failure?
Hello, I was working on a table, doing a simple update on table. Query is: Update temp SET Q1 = 14, REVIEWCOMMENTS = CASE WHEN REVIEWCOMMENTS='WHO2' THEN '' WHEN REVIEWCOMMENTS LIKE '%,WHO2' THEN TRIM(TRAILING ',WHO2' FROM REVIEWCOMMENTS) WHEN REVIEWCOMMENTS LIKE 'WHO2,%' THEN TRIM(LEADING 'WHO2,' FROM REVIEWCOMMENTS) ELSE REPLACE(REVIEWCOMMENTS, 'WHO2,', '') END WHERE QID IN (3029,3041,3053,3076,3120,3121,3128,3133,3134); It runs well, shows how many rows was affected. Then I did query to pull out all updated records: select qid, qd5,q1, reviewcomments from temp where qid IN (3029,3041,3053,3076,3120,3121,3128,3133,3134) order by qid asc; There is no records return. The table is empty. This happened second time. So Im wondering it might have some problem with my query. Thanks a lot Monet __ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

Re: Query very slow - Using temporary; Using filesort
I know you said this was a translation of your original query. Assuming that it is a faithful translation, I have the following suggestions: Do not enclose numbers with quotes (category_id is a number, right? No quotes are needed) You do not need include the table "category" in this query. You select no data from it and refer to it only using it's category_id. That value you already have on the "thread_link" table so you do not need any other tables to be able to use it. Rev 1: SELECT Count(TP.thread_ID) as num_posts , Max(TP.post_date) as latest_date , T.thread_ID , T.thread_name , i.post_image FROM thread as T INNER JOIN thread_link as TL ON TL.thread_id = t.thread_id AND TL.category_id = 8759 INNER JOIN thread_post as TP ON TP.thread_id = t.thread_id AND tp.rating > 0 INNER JOIN thread_image as i ON i.thread_id = T.thread_id AND i.display_type = 'thumbnail' You need the count of # of posts and the latest date based on the Thread ID, and you know which threads to aggregate based on the category it's in. So, you could start by collecting into a temp table only the basic information you need for your report. This minimizes the size of the intermediate tables so that the GROUP BY can go much faster. Then join to your temp table any other tables that you need in order to fill in the rest of your columns Rev 2: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmpStats (KEY(thread_id)) SELECT TP.thread_ID Count(TP.thread_ID) as num_posts , Max(TP.post_date) as latest_date FROM thread_posts as TP INNER JOIN thread_link TL ON TP.thread_id = TL.thread_id WHERE TL.category_ID = 8759 GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 2,3 DESC; SELECT ts.num_posts, ts.latest_date, ts.thread_id, t.thread_name, i.post_image FROM tmpStats ts INNER JOIN thread t on t.thread_id = ts.thread_id INNER JOIN thread_image i on i.thread_id = ts.thread_id; drop table tmpStats; You get the same results as the "all-in-one" query but by breaking it into smaller steps, you save the engine a "metric butt-load" (trust me, it's a rather large unit of measure) of intermediate processing. Just the difference in joining 20 records (and not the entire thread_posts table) to the thread and thread_image tables will save you several seconds.

Query very slow - Using temporary; Using filesort
I'm having a bit of a problem with a query that takes a very long time (up to 1 minute) when many matching rows are found. The tables are all indexed and the explain seems to indicate that mysql is using the indexes but it is still painfully slow: mysql> SELECT COUNT(TP.thread_id) AS num_posts, MAX(TP.post_date) AS latest_date,T.thread_id, T.thread_name, i.post_image FROM category AS C -> INNER JOIN thread_link AS TL USE INDEX(CAT_INDEX) ON C.category_id = TL.category_id -> INNER JOIN thread AS T ON TL.thread_id = T.thread_id -> INNER JOIN thread_image AS i ON TL.thread_id = i.thread_id -> INNER JOIN thread_post AS TP USE INDEX(thread_id) ON TL.thread_id = TP.thread_id -> WHERE C.category_id = '8759' AND i.display_type = 'thumbnail' AND TP.rating > 0 -> GROUP BY TL.thread_id -> ORDER BY 'num_posts' DESC -> LIMIT 0 , 20; ... results ... 20 rows in set (37.37 sec) The above query is a hypothetical query (hint: I'm not doing a forum db) but it pretty much matches what I'm doing. In this case there are many categories 'C' and a thread 'T' can be in multiple categories that link together with a thread_link 'TL'. Thread posts 'TP' contain the individual posts within a thread topic. I want to select the top 20 thread topics 'T', for a particular category based on the number of posts within that thread 'TP'. I also want to calculate the latest post date (when the last post was added). The tables work fine, the results are fine... it just ISN'T FAST! Especially if there are a lot of threads for that particular category. Here is the explain data: +---++---++-+-+--+-+ | table | type | possible_keys | key| key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +---++---++-+-+--+-+ | C | const | PRIMARY | PRIMARY| 4 | const |1 | Using temporary; Using filesort | | TL| ref| CAT_INDEX | CAT_INDEX | 4 | const | 105 | Using where | | T | eq_ref | PRIMARY | PRIMARY| 4 | TL.product_id |1 | | | i | eq_ref | PRIMARY | PRIMARY| 5 | TL.thread_id,const |1 | Using where | | TP| ref| thread_id| thread_id | 4 | TL.thread_id |2 | Using where | +---++---++-+-+--+-+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) I think the problem may be with 'Using Temporary; Using Filesort' probably due to the GROUP BY??? Here are the indexes: thread: - thread_id (PK) thread_link: - thread_id, category_id (combined PK) - category_id (CAT_INDEX) thread_post: - thread_id, post_id (combined PK) category: - category_id thread_image: - thread_id,display_type (combined PK) - thread_id (INDEX) Major kudos to whom ever can help me out with this!! - John -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: An SQL question about using multiple tables
I don't know the source of the "INTERSECT" command that keeps popping up on the list but this is a straight-forward JOIN situation if I have ever seen one. Please read for more details: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/JOIN.html SELECT A.*, E.* FROM A INNER JOIN B ON A.ID = B.parentid INNER JOIN C ON A.ID = C.parentid INNER JOIN D ON A.ID = D.parentid LEFT JOIN E ON A.ID = E.parentid WHERE B.name = 'xxx' AND C.name = 'YYY' AND D.name = 'ZZZ'; Since E has optional information, it's LEFT JOINed to the group.

Re: Multiple MysQL servers with different IP address on same machine
I need to add to my previous post -- You asked about using the SAME operating system socket as well as using separate addresses with the same port number (different IP sockets) My answer to that is NOT ON YOUR LIFE. Think of the chaos. If one client tried to connect to an OS socket that 3 different servers were listening to... Which one gets the connection? Which one validates the client? If for some reason the client *were* able to validate against all three servers at the same time, how could it sort out the 3 different responses to a query? NO each server must have it's own socket. It doesn't matter if we are discussing "IP sockets" or "OS sockets" the answer is still the same.

Re: Multiple MysQL servers with different IP address on same machine
An "IP socket" is the unique combination of an IP address and a port number. I don't see why you couldn't run those separate instances of your db servers on the same port but each with their own addresses as they would each have their own unique "IP socket". I don't think you would create any collisions or contentions beyond that of pure network congestion. My tentative answer is: "It should work fine but I have not tried it yet so I don't know from personal experience" Shawn Green Database Administrator Unimin Corporation - Spruce Pine "Sanjeev Sagar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote on 09/08/2004 05:04:38 PM: > > Hello All, > > MySQL : Standar Binary 4.0.20 > O/S : Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) > Linux 2.4.20-31.9smp #1 SMP Tue Apr 13 17:40:10 EDT 2004 i686 i686 > i386 GNU/Linux > > I already have setup of Three Multiple MySQL servers listening on > different ports and sockets on same machine > > Option File: > > [mysqld1] > server-id =1 > port=3306 > socket=/tmp/mysql.sock > datadir=data1 > > [mysqld2] > server-id=2 > port=3307 > socket=/tmp/mysql.sock2 > datadir=data2 > > [mysqld3] > server-id=3 > port=3308 > socket=/tmp/mysql.sock3 > datadir=data3 > > All three servers started with no problem.

Re: In search of a good MySQL GUI client

One > feature I really miss is Editing of FKs. Yeah, I also tried SQLyog. It's a very good program indeed, a very nice feature is the structure syncronization tool. However, I said every program I tried has problems, and SQLyog is no exception. I downloaded SQLyog v3.71, I'm using MySQL 4.1.4-gamma-standard. When I manage relationships (F10 key), the FK's not even show up on the list... If I now press "New.." to create a relationship, I can fill in the blanks and press "Create", however SQLyog didn't show the new relationship either. I ended up creating 5 (five) equal relationships since SQLyog wasn't showing them in the list. A nasty GUI bug, sure, but this renders SQLyog unuseable to me.

Passing Infinity to a FLOAT value.
Dear MySQL, I have need to pass an INFINITY value to a FLOAT, as defined in: http://research.microsoft.com/~hollasch/cgindex/coding/ieeefloat.html Can you please tell me if this is possible using SQL, and if so, how this is done?
