Have you tried creating another user, which you know does not exist and never 
has?

Removing the user from mysql.user table with DELETE is not a really clean way to 
do it, if that's what you did.  You are better off using DROP USER.  Even after 
you removed the user, unless you ran FLUSH PRIVILEGES, it was still cached in 
memory.  The built-in commands like DROP USER, GRANT, REVOKE etc will flush the 
in-memory caches.  The user and privilege data is cached in memory because it is 
accessed constantly and must be very fast.


I don't know if this would have caused the problem, but I'm curious to see if 
you can create a different user.

2. Brought over the most recent mysqldump from the master,
   which was created from a command like this:

I checked the mysql.user table and found that the [EMAIL PROTECTED]

the slave, which looked like this:

and got the error again:

... I "solved" the problem by adding slave_skip_errors=1396 to my.cnf
and restarting the slave server.  It was able to pick up replication
and is now caught up with the master and seems to be fine.  However,

1. I don't understand what caused the problem
2. I fear that after I un-slave it (we're planning to switch masters)
   I still won't be able to create users on this new server.


What version of MySQL are you running on each machine?

The statement might have failed because the user already existed, or because the 
slave's version was pre-5.0.3... just a guess.


Otherwise, I guess I'm an old-timer, because I always use GRANT to create users, 
so I don't know a lot about any subtleties or problems there might be with 
CREATE USER :-)


Have you checked the server's error log to see if there's more information 
there?

One way might be to do three separate queries, one for each word.
Then store them in an array and compare the overlaps, removing
any that aren't shared. Then a final query where product.id IN(array)

That seems extremely inefficient and hackish though.


I misunderstood what you meant at first.

So, you want rows where all words appear in the row, rather than where all words appear 
in any one column.  How about this: every time you get a match on a term in any column, 
count it as 1.  Then add all these and compare to the number of words in your search 
input, which you can determine either in SQL with a little text wrangling, or probably 
more easily in whatever the client code is with a split() or similar.


SELECT products.*, companies.name AS company_name, categories.name AS 
category_name
FROM products
 LEFT JOIN companies ON company_id = companies.id
 LEFT JOIN categories ON category_id = categories.id
WHERE  products.enabled = 1
AND(
	 (products.model LIKE 'sony%'   + products.model LIKE '20%'  products.model LIKE 
'tv%')

 + (products.upc LIKE 'sony'  + products.upc LIKE '20' + 
products.upc LIKE 'tv')
	 + (products.name LIKE '%sony%'   + products.name LIKE '20%'   + products.name LIKE 
'%tv%')
	 + (companies.name LIKE 'sony%'   + companies.name LIKE '20%'  + companies.name LIKE 
'tv%')
	 + (categories.name LIKE '%sony%' + categories.name LIKE '20%' + categories.name LIKE 
'%tv%')

)
>= [$number_of_words_in_input]
ORDER BY categories.name DESC, products.name ASC, companies.name ASC;

This will be ugly and inefficient though.  It might be better to build and maintain a 
separate table with the concatenation of all the fields, and fulltext index that.

It depends a lot on how much data is in the table, etc etc.  An 
index will make sorting more efficient in the general case when you 
have a decent amount of data.  But it's hard to be specific with so 
little information.


Baron

I have table products (product_id is PK). I have table categories 
(cat_id is PK). since the product can be in more than one category, I 
have prod_cat table:

create prod_cat(
   cat_id int(8) unsigned not null,
   prod_id int(8) unsigned not null,
   order_id int(4) unsigned null,
   PRIMARY KEY (cat_id, prod_id)

Okay, so your order_id is really sort order, not "id of the customer's 
request to buy something."  (As an aside, perhaps "sort_order" would 
confuse you less in the future when you don't remember the column's 
purpose anymore).


It probably makes sense to index the column if you want to use it for 
sorting.  You could also just order by the primary key.  But I 
understand there are times when you want to have a different ordering.


Baron

yes, you're right. sort_order does make more sense :)
order by PK, in my case is, let's say impossible because I'm sorting 
products in ONE category. e.g.:

cat_id|prod_id|order_id
1   |   23   |   1
1   |   25   |   2
1   |   36   |   3
1   |   13   |   4
2   |   13   |   1

Re: multilanguage web application with mysql database?

2007-05-04 Thread Michael Monaghan


I have many tables like the table Person:below, in mysql database.

person_id, first_name,last_name, mi, gb_first_name, gb_last_name,
b5_first_name, b5_last_name, gender, dob

where different columns storing strings in different encodings.



All the strings/fields etc. need to be in the *same* encoding - UTF-8

Only UTF-8 can handle all languages.

At anytime, a web user can switch the language and the application will get

the values in the right columns to generate web pages. The purpose of
Multi-language tables is to make multilanguage dynamic content management
easier for web applications.  For example, to add a person record, the user
enter the English name, then switch the session language to gb2312,



gb2312 is an encoding - not a language.

enter the Chinese name in gb2312, and then switch the session language to

big5,



big5 is an encoding - not a language

enter the name in big5. And then commit the data into the database. The

whole thing sounds complicated but can be treated as a pattern and let a
framework to take care of those and the code can be as clean as a single
language app. I actually have the framework that works well for me with
mysql database.

I didn't do anything about language encoding in mysql database, it just
worked for me. At least with english, gb2312 and big5 altogether in a table
like table Person above. I noticed that (english, gb2312, big5, Jp) cannot
work together (where jp is any kind of japaness language encoding).  My
approach seems fine with most western languages

So after all such experimental work, I still don't know how to make a real
multi language web app such that the languages are switchable within the
same session.

Any suggestions?  Any web application known to be able to solve the
problem? Thanks



Everything needs to be in UTF-8.
- the database
- application logic
- and all web interfaces.

Forget about big5, gb2312, shift_jis etc!

Also, web forms submit content in the encoding of the web page. So make sure
your http content-type header is set to UTF-8 for all web pages.

I'm not sure what technology you're using - php/java etc?
By default, most web servers/applications serve content as
ISO-8859-1encoding - which only works for western European languages. -
unless you specifically tell it otherwise.

In a JSP for example, you need to put this directive at the top of a page:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>


This article is useful -
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/index.html
even if you're not using Java technology.

Not according to
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/purge-master-logs.html:

"This statement is safe to run while slaves are replicating. You do not
need to stop
them. If you have an active slave that currently is reading one of the
logs you are
trying to delete, this statement does nothing and fails with an error."



Yes, this quote refers to file locking/concurrent access to the bin files.

What I was getting at is if the slave has fallen behind and hasn't yet
parsed some particular bin files, you wouldn't want to remove them from the
master until the slave I/O thread was able to parse them.  Otherwise your
slave would lose those database changes and thus be out of sync.

When purging master logs in a replicated setup one must first examine the
result of SHOW SLAVE STATUS and only PURGE MASTER LOGS up to the log
indicated by Master_Log_File.



Understood.  But that is a reason for DBA caution, not a reason for disabling the 
feature as you wrote above.  If the feature were disabled when there are any slaves 
connected, the manual should say so.  It looks like other people have found the feature 
to work when there are slaves, so I'm sure it's just some configuration or other 
problem with my (and many other people's) setup.

Brilliant! You are absolutely right - I had installed 5.1 at one point,

RE: Object-Oriented database

2007-05-04 Thread David Griffiths
This really isn't what he's talking about - rather than storing data as
rows and tables, you store as objects and methods.

MySQL does not support this; you can get this sort of functionality
using something like Hibernate (an Object-Relational-Mapping tool),
which is free but has a learning curve.

BEFORE trigger abd REPLACE

2007-05-04 Thread Michael Dykman

We have come across an interesting anomoly in MySQL behaviour in the
course of our investigations.  It seems that when A table is equiped
with both BEFORE INSERT and BEFORE DELETE triggers and a REPLACE
statement is used against that table, the INSERT trigger is fired
first and the DELETE trigger is fired afterwards..  this surprised us
as the REPLACE is supposed to fire a DELETE and then an INSERT. This
behavious was not found when using AFTER triggers which act is the
expected manner.

This was discovered by creating triggers which inserted a 'journal'
row into a temporary table (using an AUTO_INCREMENT) and then by
observing the resulting records.

This was observed in 5.0.34 Enterprise; we have not gone through other
versions to see if this bug is to be found elsewhere.



Happily, we are not using REPLACE (and have no intention or desire to
do it) in our application so this is not causing our project any real
inconvenience, but it could come as a nasty shock to some.

multilanguage web application with mysql database?

2007-05-04 Thread YL
I have many tables like the table Person:below, in mysql database.

person_id, first_name,last_name, mi, gb_first_name, gb_last_name, 
b5_first_name, b5_last_name, gender, dob

where different columns storing strings in different encodings. At anytime, a 
web user can switch the language and the application will get the values in the 
right columns to generate web pages. The purpose of Multi-language tables is to 
make multilanguage dynamic content management easier for web applications.  For 
example, to add a person record, the user enter the English name, then switch 
the session language to gb2312, enter the Chinese name in gb2312, and then 
switch the session language to big5, enter the name in big5. And then commit 
the data into the database. The whole thing sounds complicated but can be 
treated as a pattern and let a framework to take care of those and the code can 
be as clean as a single language app. I actually have the framework that works 
well for me with mysql database.

I didn't do anything about language encoding in mysql database, it just worked 
for me. At least with english, gb2312 and big5 altogether in a table like table 
Person above. I noticed that (english, gb2312, big5, Jp) cannot work together 
(where jp is any kind of japaness language encoding).  My approach seems fine 
with most western languages

So after all such experimental work, I still don't know how to make a real 
multi language web app such that the languages are switchable within the same 
session. 

Any suggestions?  Any web application known to be able to solve the problem? 
Thanks

It's a hard to tell from this description what is the matter.  Can you

You probably don't want to mysqldump a big CSV file of your general 
log, at least not if you're using this for backups (but maybe you do, 
I don't know).


In short, you might want to DROP the tables instead of creating them. 


It looks like there was a 5.1 installation here at some point - 5.0.37 
should not include the general_log or slow_log tables - these are 5.1 
new features.


I suspect that you likely have general_log and slow_log frm files within 
the mysql database directory, without any corresponding data files. If 
this is the case then just 'rm' the general_log.frm and slow_log.frm 
files from the mysql database directory, and all these errors should go 
away.

Thanks for the reply. I went and checked a few things and in my data dir,
there is a mysql.log file that is actively logging any mysql activity. In

Re: Can't find file: 'general_log'

2007-05-04 Thread Baron Schwartz

Hi Joseph,

Joseph Koenig wrote:

Hi,

I'm running MySQL 5.0.27-standard-log on RHEL 4. After install, I moved the
data directory of MySQL. I updated everything that SELinux complained about,
etc., and have a functional install of MySQL. It's actually been up and
running with no issues for months. However, every time I run a mysqldump, I
get:

mysqldump: Got error: 1017: Can't find file: 'general_log' (errno: 2) when
using LOCK TABLES
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show create table `general_log`': Can't find
file: 'general_log' (errno: 2) (1017)
mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show create table `slow_log`': Can't find file:
'slow_log' (errno: 2) (1017)

My dump proceeds and just spits these errors out to me. From what I can
tell, no harm is done, as the dump is full and is perfectly usable for
restoring databases from. However, it's driving me nuts. Is there any way to
create the necessary tables now so that MySQL does actually start logging
everything they way it should be able to and also will make these errors go
away? Thanks in advance,


It's a hard to tell from this description what is the matter.  Can you connect via 
mysql and run "SHOW CREATE TABLE slow_log" without errors?  If so, what storage engine 
do they use?  It sounds to me like they might be using the CSV storage engine and the 
file isn't there.  Error 2 is 'OS error code   2:  No such file or directory' according 
to perror.


You probably don't want to mysqldump a big CSV file of your general log, at least not 
if you're using this for backups (but maybe you do, I don't know).


In short, you might want to DROP the tables instead of creating them.

I think we've found the bug.  I just did a bunch of tests and I'm 99% 
sure

not only
does expire_logs_days not work if there are slaves attached, neither does
PURGE MASTER
LOGS.  When I read my email this morning, Nagios alerted me the master
server was over
the expected disk usage, and I looked at the disk and saw our nightly
PURGE MASTER LOGS
job hasn't been working.

http://bugs.mysql.com/28238



It seems to me that some communication is neccessary in the case of
replication -- you wouldn't want to purge MASTER logs if the slave hadn't
parsed them yet.

Perhaps this is why the feature is disabled in this case.


Not according to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/purge-master-logs.html:

"This statement is safe to run while slaves are replicating. You do not need to stop 
them. If you have an active slave that currently is reading one of the logs you are 
trying to delete, this statement does nothing and fails with an error."

If you serialize the object, you can store it in the data base as a blob.

RE: secure port 3306

2007-05-04 Thread Steven Buehler
Thank You so much.  I will have to try this later today.  I have never done
a port forward in iptables before.  I knew that I could, but just never had
a need or tried so it slipped my mind about this.
Again, Thank You.
Steve


On linux, one could do a port forward:

EXTIF=eth0 # Or whatever the interface that faces internet is called.

iptables -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -p tcp -s  --dport 3306 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p tcp -s  \
   -d  --dport 3306 -j DNAT --to :3306

I think you're describing full-text indexing.  MySQL supports it but only on MyISAM 
tables.  If you don't want to use MyISAM, full-text search engines like Lucene or 
Sphinx may be worth looking at.

Re: Object-Oriented database

2007-05-04 Thread Olexandr Melnyk

You can store any object as blob, but that's not a good idea (unless object
is atomic in terms of your application).

If you want to refer to your data in object-oriented manner, you can use one
of the ORM pattern implementations on the client sise.

As for a separate data type, no, MySQL doesn't have it.

How about:

select soundex('Sony 20" TV' ),soundex('20" Sony TV');

'S531', 'S531'

I'm having trouble figuring out the logic/query I want.
I know that all those "OR"s are not right.
I'm doing this in PHP and mySQL (of course),

Here's the challenge, given a text field search box, someone enters:

How do I search for that, not knowing which fields are which?
For example, they could have also entered:

20" Sony TV

This is the one I have now, but (as you probably noticed), it will return many 
rows,
I expect that most of the time > 1 row will be returned, but I'm getting a grip 
more than I want (or the customer would want), and
also rows that have nothing to do with the search terms.

SELECT products.*, companies.name AS company_name, categories.name AS 
category_name 
FROM products 
 LEFT JOIN companies ON company_id = companies.id 
 LEFT JOIN categories ON category_id = categories.id 
WHERE  products.enabled = 1 
AND( 
(products.model LIKE 'sony%'   OR products.model LIKE '20%'  OR 
products.model LIKE 'tv%') 
 OR (products.upc LIKE 'sony'  OR products.upc LIKE '20' OR 
products.upc LIKE 'tv') 
 OR (products.name LIKE '%sony%'   OR products.name LIKE '20%'   OR 
products.name LIKE '%tv%') 
 OR (companies.name LIKE 'sony%'   OR companies.name LIKE '20%'  OR 
companies.name LIKE 'tv%') 
 OR (categories.name LIKE '%sony%' OR categories.name LIKE '20%' OR 
categories.name LIKE '%tv%') 
) 
ORDER BY categories.name DESC, products.name ASC, companies.name ASC;

(and that just gets uglier the more words in the search)

++--+--+--+---+
| id | name | model| company_name | category_name |
++--+--+--+---+
|  1 | 20" TV   | STV20-KVR-HD | Sony | Tube  | <---
|  2 | 36" TV   | STV36-KVR-HD | Sony | Tube  | 
|  4 | Ultra-Plasma 62" | UP62F900 | Sony | Plasma| 
|  5 | Value Plasma 38" | VPR542_38| Sony | Plasma| 
|  6 | Power-MP3 5gb| 09834wuw34   | Sony | MP3 Players   | 
|  3 | Super-LCD 42"| SLCD42hd002  | Sony | LCD   | 
|  7 | Super-Player 1gb | SP1gb| Sony | Flash | 
|  8 | Porta CD | pcd500   | Sony | CD Players| 
..
++--+--+--+---+

Obviously the person wanted id = 1 in this case.

Unrelated, is there any speed improvement using JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN ?
Think millions of products.

Thanks for help and suggestions...

Daevid.
