upgrading from mysql 4.0 to 4.1 : TIMESTAMP OTHER FEATURES
Hi! I would like to upgrade the database of my organisation from mysql4.0.22 from 4.1. We use Debian. I've read info in the manual, but i don't have things clear. We process data of DB with scripts, and I'm annoyed because the change of format of timestamp, is there any command in 4.1 to obtain this info in the previous format (4.0) ??? I want that out in 4.1 as MMDDHHMMSS Furthermore, my databases are in latin1, i've read that 4.1 take data in utf8, but i don't understand reading manual how this affect to my info. And to finish, do i have to keep more features in mind Thanks -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
howto query DELETE all records having invalid table refs
Hi all, there is a live before foreign keys, but now I'm using mysql 5.0 ;) how where I'm about to convert my db schema to make use of foreign keys (via innodb) I am enforced to delete all invalid entries before. however, I can do this using a huch select loop with a test within to delete all whose referencing record in a parent table doesn't exist anylonger. but I'd like to do this cleanup within a single DELETE query (to speedup the schema upgrade phase), but what kind of WHERE clause shall I use here? TABLE Accounts ( ID INTEGER NOT NULL auto_increment, -- ... ); TABLE GbEntries ( ID INTEGER NOT NULL auto_increment Sender INTEGER NOT NULL, -- references an account (the sender) -- ... FOREIGN KEY (Sender) REFERENCES Accounts(ID); ); I can add the foreign key to GbEntries only when all invalid records (pointing to not anylonger existing `Accounts` records) have been wiped out of GbEntries table. DELETE GbEntries Accounts WHERE Sender NOT IN Accounts.ID; but how's the proper SQL syntax for this? Thanks in advance, Christian Parpart. pgp2l9v1LOnci.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: howto query DELETE all records having invalid table refs
The following statement should do the trick: delete from GBEntries t1 where (select count(*) from Accounts nt1 where nt1.ID=t1.Sender)=0 Performance of this query will be significantly improved if there is an index on Accounts.ID.

Optimize table does not reclaim space for InnoDB tables in the shared tablespace, FYI - only for those that live independently when using the 'innodb_file_per_table' option.

Re: ERROR 1114
Raj, Normally, if you have problem with your configurations, I suggest recreate your databases : 1) backup all your database using mysqldump *$ mysqldump --opt --user=root --password= --databases db1 db2 db3 db4 /your/directory/of backups/backup.databases.dmp* ** ** 2) delete your databases 3) modify your configurations using 3 or 4 ibdata1:1900;ibdata2:1900;ibdata3:1900 ( my.cnf). $service mysql stop $service mysql start 4) load your initial backup into mysql Option 1: mysql set foreign_key_checks=0 mysql set autocommit=0 mysql source backup.mysql.dmp ( your possition must be of the file of backup) option 2 : *$ mysql --user=root --password= backup.mysql.dmp* Comments : You can use innodb_file_per_table , but if you say that your files can grow only 2G could be dangerous.

Re: upgrading from mysql 4.0 to 4.1 : TIMESTAMP OTHER FEATURES
Regarding the format of TIMESTAMP columns, one of the user comments on
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/timestamp-4-1.html
offers the solution below:
Posted by Kjell Arne Rekaa on April 14 2005 11:11pm
If you want the same view of a timestamp field in 4.1.x as it was in
in earlier mysql versions, without the delimiter characters in date
and time, simply add a +0 to the column name:
mysql create table date (remember timestamp);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql insert date values ('2005051712');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql select remember from date;
+-+
| remember|
+-+
| 2005-05-17 12:00:00 |
+-+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql select remember+0 from date;
++
| remember+0 |
++
| 2005051712 |
++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
As far as your character set, I believe that is stored by table, so
your data should remain OK.
Another major consideration with 4.1 is that passwords changed
considerably from 4.0 to 4.1:

Re: ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query, 061220 14:48:44 mysqld restarted
Replying to myself again... OK, some more light on the subject. I did a complete dump of the master and reloaded the slave thinking maybe I had corrupt tables or something. Having started the slave with skip-start-slave, I found that I could stop mysqld on command line using mysqladmin without problems. As soon as I started the slave and tried to issue a stop slave, then the crash happened again. So basically the crash only happens if we try and stop the slave threads. This wouls explain why mysaadmin shutdown crashed when slave IO was on, but not when slave IO was stopped. Here is error I got this time for stop slave: stop slave; ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (none) /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe: line 1: 401 Illegal instruction nohup /usr/local/mysql/libexec/ mysqld --defaults-extra-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/my.cnf --basedir=/ usr/local/mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data --user=mysql --pid- file=/usr/local/mysql/data/slmini.local.pid --socket=/tmp/mysql.sock --skip-slave-start /usr/local/mysql/data/slmini.local.err 21 061220 16:02:05 mysqld restarted Any ideas what could be wrong here or is this possibly a bug?
