What happened to the 5.1.31 release announcement?

2009-02-07 Thread Andy Shellam
I've just read someone's troubles about getting 5.1.31 installed on 
Solaris, and I thought 5.1.30 was the latest stable release.  So, I went 
onto the website and found that 5.1.31 was released on 19th Jan, but the 
only announcement notices I received about that time was for 6.0.9 alpha.


Did anyone else receive an announcement for the release of 5.1.31?  Was 
it actually made?


Thanks,
Andy

Re: non-relational engine for mySQL?

2009-02-07 Thread Antony T Curtis
I believe such things already exist, for example the Nitro storage  
engine. There is a presentation about it at the coming MySQL  
conference...

When our database reaches the 10-100TB range, we may need to consider
non-relational databases.  Relational databases like MySQL tend to
heavily rely on random access, which is governed by the slow disk seek
rates.  On the other hand, non-relational database pioneered by  
Google's

Map/Reduce framework operate at much faster disk transfer rates.  Open
source solutions incorporating these ideas exist, such as Yahoo's  
Hadoop

and CouchDB.

Are there currently (or plans for) any mySQL engines with this type of
database?

What ever happened to NitroEDb engine for MySQL

2009-02-07 Thread mos
NitroEDB was suppose to be shipped Q2 2007. Whatever happened to that? When 
can I expect it? TIA

NitroEDB for MySQL is a high speed relational storage engine from 
NitroSecurity, originally developed to address the growing demand for 
real-time analysis within the network security event management market. 
NitroEDB’s focus is on high volume databases. Utilizing unique indexing 
techniques, data management methods and query processing algorithms, the 
technology enables “multiple order of magnitude” increases in relational 
data management and query performance with multi-billion record volumes – 
running on commodity hardware. The technology is currently deployed in 
NitroView Enterprise Security Manager, the industry’s highest performance 
network security monitoring and analysis solution. The General Availability 
for NitroEDB for MySQL is scheduled for Q2 2007.

You are confusing me here.  What is an SSD by your definition?  (I'll be on
Wikipedia right after I make this post.)

If you mean a purely RAM-based device, it should work fine with great
performance.

If you mean a FLASH/EEPROM-based device, you might have a RAM front end to
it, but there would be limits to how much data you can change how quickly.

What is your definition of an SSD?

Got a typical manufacturer and model number?


Curious Error, anyone have a guess?

2009-02-07 Thread mikesz
Hello mysql,

  On one of my sites, I have a query that logs attempts to access the
  site by potential bad guys. It has been working for more than a year
  with out a problem. Today, I got a database error because an
  unescaped ' in one of the arrays that I collect. When I check the
  error I found a very curious condition in the useragent log entry.
  
Here is the excerpt:

,\'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913
Firefox/3.0.6',

Notice the backslash in front to the quote delimiter. How did that get
there? Anybody have a guess?

The database comes from a call to $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

2009-02-07 Thread Michael Dykman
Are you attempting to escape that string?  If not, you should be The
UserAgent header can't be trusted because every browser vendor has the
liberty to do pretty much what they want to it (there is no consistent
standard) and some browsers (ie. Opera) allow users to set the
UserAgent to any arbitrary string, so it si inevitable that you will
get unsafe input sooner or later.

Is anyone using SSD drives currently and can share their experiences?

Also, even if they are currently poor for writing, they would make a
fantastic slave drive for mega-fast access I would think right?

Our current DB is about 80GB and over 1/2 billion rows in each of two of
the tables. Reports are starting to take as long as 20 seconds to
generate. ...and don't get me started on export/import (it can take DAYS
to import).


There are Flash SSD's and DDR SSD's. I assume you mean DDR SSD's.

You may want to try something like HyperDrive and use Raid to increase the 
size of the volume. See http://www.hyperossystems.co.uk/. It was reviewed 
at http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/16255/9. For random access, these 
solid state devices are extremely fast. But sequential access they are 
slightly faster than the fastest hard drive. These devices are also getting 
quite cheap compared to what they cost 5 years ago. I haven't tried it, but 
would love to get my hands on a few of these.
