Re: mysqldump on slave.

2007-07-07 Thread Alex Arul Lurthu

You havent mentioned which version of mysql your are on. If on an older
version i would recommend the option --opt. Also if you are running a  dump
using single-transaction option on a loaded system with writes, things might
slow down significantly due to different versions of rows which the server
needs to maintain due to the dump.

Thanks

Hi All,
I am planning to take mysqldump on slave running innodb engine.

I going to use the below command

/usr/bin/mysqldump --user=root  --password= --flush-logs
--all-databases
--master-data=2 --single-transaction  > alldbdump.sql

Before doing the mysqldump, should i stop the slave or the above command
is
enough, please let know, also please let me know if any other option i can
use to speed up mysqldump.

As see in the mysqldump is saying to start recovery from bin-log file "'

You need to use the positions specified in the mysqldump since when u
restore using the data, you will get data only till the snapshot specified
in the dump.

Yes, I've been getting messages from yesterday, too.  But I did get both

I'd like to do full text search on some fields of some tables, but I'm a

confused by the documentation.  Questions:

a)How do I set that up (i.e. do I need to use a specific storage engine for
a table)?


Yes, MyISAM only.


b)What storage engine(s) are required?

c)Are there any restrictions on "mixing and matching" tables that use
different storage engines in the same database?

d)Do table locking and transactions work the same (for example, some of the
storage engines are described as "not transaction safe"--unclear what this
means)?


Since it only applies to MyISAM, you have no transactions, and you get 
table-level locks.


See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/fulltext-search.html for more 
details.

Re: join between databases

2007-07-07 Thread Dan Buettner

Miguel, it's possible, but it's not normal procedure in most systems I've
worked with.  Separate databases are generally used for separate "systems".
Reasons include more work/steps to grant privileges to users, more
difficulty establishing a test system (you need a whole separate MySQL
instance in your setup vs. a single database with a different name, ease of
creating/restoring one database in one step vs. potentially multiple steps.

You might consider prefixing table names with something to help categorize
them, like
mgmt_
fin_
prod_

You can join tables from different databases like so (assuming you have
privileges):

SELECT *
FROM database1.table1 , database2.table2
WHERE ...

HTH,
Dan

Re: off-topic unsubscribe concern

2007-07-07 Thread Octavian Rasnita

There are just spam messages.

The spam robots probably found some messages from the list somewhere and our 
addresses, and it put all the addresses in its database.
Then, as usually, it sends spam messages to all addresses, using another 
address from the same message as the source address. This way it sent an 
email to the address for unsubscribing from the list using our addresses as 
a source address. So we receive a confirmation for unsubscribing.


So it is no problem.
