 I don't think that will work. If there are 1,000 records that qualify
but
 none for Joe, then it will return 1,001. If Joe is in record 1 of the
 retrieved record set, and there are 999 other people who match the
WHERE
 clause, then it will retrieve 1,000.
 
 Am I missing something?

   I want to do a query of all employees from Maine, ordered
  by hiring date,
   and figure out where Joe falls in that list. (i.e. which
  record number
  is he?)
 
  If 'Joe' is a unique name LOL...
 
  SELECT 1 + COUNT(*)
  FROM employees
  WHERE name  'Joe' AND state = 'MA' AND hiredate  datevalue;

   Let's say I know that Joe is from Maine.

Index not used sometimes -- why?

2007-03-24 Thread M5
Sometimes, when I run a query on a table, the index will be used. But  
if I run the SAME query, but on a larger set of rows (e.g., where id  
BETWEEN 1 AND 10 vs WHERE id BETWEEN 1 AND 500), the index is not  
used. (EXPLAIN tells me this.) And as a result, the query runs slow.


The question I have is, why is the index not used on larger-range  
queries? Could it be because the key_buffer_size parameter is too  
small? Presently, it's set at the default value of 8M. Could  
increasing that value to, say, 128M, potentially solve this problem?  
Or is there some other factor involved?


Thanks.

...Rene

Hi,
As far as I know the key_buffer doesn't affect this... It's a decision
that the optimiser take at some point. I think that when he detects that
he would need to scan more than 60% of the index, he decide that that
would be too much read for nothing and that a full scan may be better.
This is generally a wise decision but in some case it's not (because you
don't really scan 60%, or because all the row you wanna read are
sequential or ...)

To be sure, he has the best information to take his decision, make sure
your table is analyze, especially if you do many delete in your table!
You could force him to use the index but beware of that solution as it
may have an impact if you dataset change with time (growth)

Re: problems with replication when db is changed

2007-03-24 Thread Mathieu Bruneau
Bgs a écrit :
 
  Greetings,
 
 We have regular problems with mysql replication when there is a db
 change. This is mostly ALTER TABLE. The sync breaks and we either have
 to do the changes manually or either shut down the whole system for a
 new sync from zero. Is there a way to sync alter table commands on the
 fly? Shouldn't they be executed just as the insert/update commands?
 
 Regards
 Bgs
 

I never experienced such issues... (Unless someone killed the alter
table) What error do you see in the replication exactly ?

(Also which version of mysql are you using ?)

right configuration.

2007-03-24 Thread Ananda Kumar

Hi Friends,
We are in the processing of building a new Mysql database. We are planing to
use innodb.
I need help on couple of questions.

1. What are the best parameter setting in my.cnf for innodb.
2. Is it possible to allocate each table a separate tablespace.
3. Is it possible to create index in a separate tablespace.
4. We planing to create partitioning at application level, is there a limit
on no. of partitions, and also is there is a limit on number of rows on each
partition.
5. We are planing to migrate from oracle to mysql, is there any particular
way to speed up migrating huge data from oracle to mysql.
6. What are the different events do we need to moinitor in Mysql.

thanks a lot for all you help.

regards
anandkl
