Re: Sorting results ith umlauts in UTF8 tables
Hello.
Maybe this could help you somehow:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12191
Check that you are running the latest release.
Nico Grubert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Hi there,
I am running MySQL 4.1 on Linux.
I have some problems sorting records with german umlauts.
MySQL is configured to have character set UTF8 as default.
I have created a table like this:
CREATE TABLE tblmembers (
memberid int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
lastname varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
location varchar(255) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (memberid)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
The, I have inserted some records:
INSERT INTO tblmembers (lastname,location) VALUES ('Ober','Germany');
INSERT INTO tblmembers (lastname,location) VALUES ('Ohm','Germany');
INSERT INTO tblmembers (lastname,location) VALUES ('$hlz','Germany');
INSERT INTO tblmembers (lastname,location) VALUES ('$der','Germany');
INSERT INTO tblmembers (lastname,location) VALUES ('Ower','Germany');
Now, I would like get all members whose lastname starts with 'O' (and
also with umlaut '$') sorted by lastname according to german sorting
rules, so my SQL query reads like this:
I tried:
SELECT *
FROM tblmembers
WHERE lastname LIKE 'O%' OR lastname LIKE '$%'
The result reads like this:
Ober
Ohm
Ower
Do I need to covert the '$%' somehow so the records starting with '$'
are also found?
Example 1:
SELECT *
FROM tblmembers
ORDER BY lastname
returns:
$hlz
$der
Ober
Ohm
Ower
..which is wrong according to german sorting rules.
Example 2:
SELECT *
FROM tblmembers
ORDER BY lastname
COLLATE utf8_general_ci
returns:
$hlz
$der
Ober
Ohm
Ower
The proper sorting order according to german sorting rules is:
Ober
$der
Ohm
$hlz
Ower
Any idea how I can sort the results proper?
Nico

Re: how to design junction table?
Hello. If you think that it is possible to have several records with the same post and title, then, in my opinion, your table should have two indexes for foreign key constraints and one AUTO_INCREMENT field for primary key. mysql show create table titles_posts\G; *** 1. row *** Table: titles_posts Create Table: CREATE TABLE `titles_posts` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `tid` int(10) unsigned default NULL, `pid` int(10) unsigned default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `tid` (`tid`), KEY `pid` (`pid`), CONSTRAINT `titles_posts_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`tid`) REFERENCES `titles` (`tid`), CONSTRAINT `titles_posts_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`pid`) REFERENCES `postings` (`pid`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 mysql show create table titles\G *** 1. row *** Table: titles Create Table: CREATE TABLE `titles` ( `tid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `title` varchar(256) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`tid`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 mysql show create table postings\G *** 1. row *** Table: postings Create Table: CREATE TABLE `postings` ( `pid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `post` varchar(65500) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`pid`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 The performance penalty of updating an auto_increment index is low. If you are sure that it is impossible to have two records with the same post and title, you should make a choice - what is more important for you: speed or data integrity. I usually prefer the data integrity, so, I'd probably create a primary key on tid and pid: mysql show create table titles_posts\G; *** 1. row *** Table: titles_posts Create Table: CREATE TABLE `titles_posts` ( `tid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `pid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (`tid`,`pid`), KEY `pid` (`pid`), CONSTRAINT `titles_posts_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`tid`) REFERENCES `titles` (`tid`), CONSTRAINT `titles_posts_ibfk_2` FOREIGN KEY (`pid`) REFERENCES `postings` (`pid`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 what is the performance like when I only know the fkJobTitle and I want to find all job postings for that title. Is it a linear search? If not, why not? If fkJobTitle key has high cardinality the search will be quite fast. Use the benchmarks to make a final desision. So what SQL statements would I use to look up the job title, insert it if it does not exist and return the integer PK. I could use SELECT and if that At first, you should add the record to the titles table. For this task, I'd perform a simple INSERT and later obtain the value of tid by selecting LAST_INSERT_ID(): mysql insert into titles set title=title1; Query OK, 1 row affected (0,00 sec) mysql select last_insert_id(); +--+ | last_insert_id() | +--+ |6 | +--+ mysql select * from titles order by tid; +-++ | tid | title | +-++ | 1 | yo | | 3 | yo1| | 4 | yo2| | 5 | title | | 6 | title1 | +-++ In case of 'duplicate key' error, I get the value of tid using SELECT. Siegfried Heintze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have 100K job posting records and 40K job title records. There is a M:M relationship here. I expect these tables to grow rapidly. What is the best way to design a junction or link table? Do I need to create a primary key? My thought was no primary key, just two indices on each foreign key (FK). Some folks feel you should always have a primary key. However, if I make fkJobTitle the primary key, can it still have duplicates? Some folks say I should have a composite primary key consisting of fkJobTitle and fkJobPosting. This does buy me uniqueness. However, what is the performance like when I only know the fkJobTitle and I want to find all job postings for that title. Is it a linear search? If not, why not? I don't know the fkJobPosting to exploit the primary key. Some folks say I say I should have a separate auto increment integer separate from fkJobPosting and fkJobTitle. Then I could make the id field (what is your favorite naming convention for this field?) the primary key and index fkJobTitle and fkJobPosting separately. But this means every time I insert into the junction table, I have to update three index structures. Is this a problem? What is your opinion? Lastly, I have learned that MySQL has a rich set of extensions for the SQL syntax. Let's suppose I have several hundred jobs which may or may not have been previously inserted into my data base already where each job contains a posting and a title.
Re: How to migrate from V4.0.23 to V5?
Hello. Please, start a new thread when you're asking a different question. In my opinion, it is safer to restore an archive into the datadir of 4.0.23 server. Then perform a dump using mysqldump utility and finally import it to the new 5.x instance. I suggest you to read this page before doing anything: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrade.html Siegfried Heintze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My questions are probably addressed in the MySQL documentation somewhere. I've been reading the documentation on backup but I'm not sure if that is the right tool for this situation. Perhaps there is a better place to be reading?

I have a new V5 installation on my new desktop computer. I really don't care about having a copy of the data on my notebook anymore. What should I do? Should I restore the data directory to my notebook and create a backup (using the mysqldump) and then restore the backup on v5? Or should I just restore the V4.0.23 mysql/data directory that is on the CD directly to the v5 directory? Are the formats of the data files compatible? Or is there is there a special utility for copying from one mysql instance to another? I created all the tables my self using MySQL CC and I never did anything special like incorporate innodb (sp?).

There is not, in any of them, any suggestion that money has passed or will pass from MySQL to SCO. SCO has for a long time been one of the many varieties of Unix that MySQL supports. MySQL cannot stop SCO from distributing their product (hypocritically) under the GPL. On the other hand, if they allow SCO to include offical releases of MySQL, they may get some support customers - which is where they earn their real income. The press blurbs are essentially saying that SCO resellers will market MySQL Network - to the benefit of MySQL. If there is any money flow, I would have thought it would be more likely to be the other way: SCO paying MySQL to ensure that one of the premier Unix applications remains supported on their platform. Of course, MySQL may say otherwise, but I think this is a piece of SCO hype intended to imply MySQL support of SCO when all they are really doing is supporting their own product on whatever platform their customers may choose - even when that platform is marketed by a company who many of us find totally repulsive. If you let yourself be hyped into dropping MySQL, you will be harming a company that is, in my opinion, a model of how to provide full commercial quality software (or better) with an Open Source licence, while not (I think) harming SCO in any way.

May be you wanted '*.*' instead of '*'? See:

Re: How to optimize fulltext selection?
Hello. Fulltext initialization Ok, now we exactly know that we should optimize the FULLTEXT part of your query. I don't know the options which directly affects the speed of the FULLTEXT searches, so I suggest you to play with key_buffer and table structure. The ratio of Key_reads to Key_read_requests is good so we don't need to increase the value of the key_buffer_size. Check if the speed of the queries have changed after running OPTIMIZE TABLE on `programms1` table. Please send the output of EXPLAIN for your query after running ANALYZE TABLE. If the output of EXPLAIN and the speed of the query has changed when you make the strings in the AGAINST clauses the same? Create a separate table (let's call it newtable) with id and search_keywords fields (linked to the programms1 on id). Make a FULLTEXT index on search_keywords and research if the speed of the query which retrieves the 'relevance' from the newtable has changed. Research how the value of the PACK_KEYS option affects the speed of the queries on your old (I guess you'll perform tests on the copy of the original table) and new table (with the structure which I've proposed). Create a separate cache for indexes from the newtable and load indexes into it (I guess the memory where FULLTEXT index is stored will be less fragmented). Create a separate cache for the programms1 table and load indexes into it on startup (for the same reason), however I'm not sure if you able to do this in production environment. The best is to perform all manipulations on the test server with the same configuration.

Re: Connections with bad DNS cause lockups
Hello. I don't know. You may want to hack MySQL source (it seems not too hard to change the dbug/dbug.c file). As an alternative you can make a feature request at: http://bugs.mysql.com In my opinion, timestamp is a helpful thing (however, it may affect the performance which is already a very low when MySQL produces trace files). In you case if MySQL really hangs you should be able to find the significant difference in the logging behavior after it has hung. I guess it won't log anything. And the last messages (mostly from sql/hostname) should be exactly what you need. Tuc at T-B-O-H [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Ok. Is there a way to get a timestamp in the file too? If this happens while I'm not near a machine I want to make sure I can find the right time frame in the file. Thanks, Tuc Hello. When I suggested to create a trace file, I wanted to find the place where mysqld hangs. In my opinion, it is possible. You should research the last entries at the end of the trace file (using tail, for example) after mysql has hung. I'm not sure if we are able to find any clues in the trace files when using clients with a good reverse. Tuc at T-B-O-H [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I hacked the Makefile so that it would recompile it with -debug on the version. I started it with --debug as part of the extra args passed to safe_mysqld. It started, and created a /tmp/mysqld.trace where its logging to. So far, no one with a broken reverse DNS has tried to contact the server However, me with a good reverse but no authority via the /etc/hosts.allow has gone against it 5 or 6 times, and the log doesn't even show any evidence. If it isn't showing any sort of logging of my illegal attempt, I'm concerned it will not show any attempts from the hosts that are causing the problems. Thanks, Tuc Hello. To make the suggestions, we should have enough amount of information. If your MySQL server isn't heavy loaded, create a trace file and find out the place where the new connections hang. See: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/making-trace-files.html Tuc at T-B-O-H [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello. In my opinion, we're a little kinked in this issue. Let's start over. :( Sorry. I've been told by the GF that I have a habit of doing it to her too. In one of your posts you mentioned that the server runs lots of other services besides the database. Yes, according to my runbook, the server : 1) Is an NFS server to 4 other servers for web traffic and logging. 2) Is the primary MX server for 7 domains (About 100 emails a day) 3) Runs a Listproc for 4 mailing lists (About 5 messages a day to 60 people) 4) Runs MySQL (Approx 98 queries per hour) 5) Runs [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2 processes) 6) Runs an IMAP Server for 1 user who logs on 5-10 minutes a day The server pushes about 120kb/s a second according to MRTG for all that. Why do you think that the cause of the server's weird behavior is MySQL? Maybe I wasn't clear about it. The server is running perfectly. I'm running SETI on it since its normally bored out of its ever loving mind. When someone with a missing or bad reverse DNS (PTR) record attempts to connect to the MySQL server, any other connection via either the socket or the TCP socket ends up blocking and waiting. Every other service on the machine is fine, but MySQL becomes completely unresponsive. When I said DOS, I meant only against MySQL. The rest of the machine is fine to process anything it wants. Is server still working, but you are unable to reach it through the network, or it is completely hung? No other services are affected, only attempts to connect to MySQL via the socket or TCP. This makes what little access there is to the database (A searchable orchid database) stop, and monitoring detects it down and pages out. Thanks, Tuc So if thats the way (FreeBSD ports), then besides the already suggested changing to pure IP, is there any other ways to stop the DOS?

Re: switching from varchar to tinytext
To test the char vs byte index I created a unique bcol(2), on a tiny text
utf8 field.
I then preceded to insert the numbers 00..99 in Chinese whose hex values
are below. Since we are using utf8 vs ucs2 they are going to be 3 bytes
per char, totaling 6 bytes per numbers.
If the index is indeed 2 bytes then there will by a constraint failure,
and an error generated.
This did not happen on the inserts of 00..99, I added another test of 100,
I expected it to fail base on it being a duplicate of '10'0, it did.
Since my intended application was using varchar(255) and a tinytext's max
length is 255, I am not concerned with my data exceeding the index width
without error.

There is not, in any of them, any suggestion that money has passed or will pass from MySQL to SCO. SCO has for a long time been one of the many varieties of Unix that MySQL supports. MySQL cannot stop SCO from distributing their product (hypocritically) under the GPL. On the other hand, if they allow SCO to include offical releases of MySQL, they may get some support customers - which is where they earn their real income. The press blurbs are essentially saying that SCO resellers will market MySQL Network - to the benefit of MySQL. If there is any money flow, I would have thought it would be more likely to be the other way: SCO paying MySQL to ensure that one of the premier Unix applications remains supported on their platform. Of course, MySQL may say otherwise, but I think this is a piece of SCO hype intended to imply MySQL support of SCO when all they are really doing is supporting their own product on whatever platform their customers may choose - even when that platform is marketed by a company who many of us find totally repulsive. If you let yourself be hyped into dropping MySQL, you will be harming a company that is, in my opinion, a model of how to provide full commercial quality software (or better) with an Open Source licence, while not (I think) harming SCO in any way.

How concerned should I be about Collation?
MySQL General List, Server specifications: MySQL 4.1.3-beta, phpMyAdmin 2.5.7-pl1, PHP 4.3.8 My specifications: MySQL beginner, PHP intermediate, HTML and CSS advanced. The situation: I have a database of users for my web site, in which all the text data that is inserted and obtained from MySQL via PHP is in UTF-8 encoding. My web host helped me install MySQL 4.1 and phpMyAdmin 2.5.7 because, from what I can see, they are a little more user friendly in how they let a user view and manipulate UTF-8 text. I had a number of tables with user data that I created myself, and I was sure to specify that for each, the Collation was in utf_general_ci. Recently, I decided to add a forum for my users, using the PHP based Simple Machines Forum available here: http://www.simplemachines.org/ This added a bunch of new tables, in which the Collation was the default setting of latin1_swedish_ci. My next step is to take the user data I already have collected, and merge it with the new forum users table, so that my existing users can start use of the forum without having to re-enter all their information. The Questions: Before I start merging tables, I want to ensure that the whole database is consistent in it's use of character sets. This means I want to convert all the new tables to use utf_general_ci for collation, storage, and any other charset related setting. What MySQL command can I use to globally convert all the tables and field collation settings in the database to utf_general_ci? Are there other charset related settings that I should be concerned about? If so, how would I configure them to keep the database consistent. What I've done so far: I did a bit of research on what collation is by going to this web site: http://grace.evergreen.edu/mysqlDoc/manual_Charset.html But further searching via Google did not turn up any instructions for specific commands to make the changes I am looking for. Any assistance is much appreciated. Thank you. Dave -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
