Re: Resend: enabling storage engine with RPM install
Hi Jim, all! Jim Lyons wrote: Yes, I had a slip of the mind. The engine that was not supported by the install is the Federated engine. I apologize, I had a blind spot. The SHOW ENGINES command lists FEDERATED but has NO in the Support column. The question, though, is how does one add an unsupported engine to an RPM install? Is it possible? Otherwise I have to either compile from source or upgrade to a version that I hope will have it. You cannot add an engine later to a MySQL 5.0 binary. This will change with newer versions when plugins can be used for table handlers.

I checked the logs, and I found that for some reason which I really don't know any more the federated engine was not configured in that version. The oldest community builds in which I find it configured are 5.0.41 and 5.0.45, which you can still get from the archive (accessible via the download page). There were some issues with federated which later caused us to disable it by default, so it is configured in recent versions but not enabled in the my.cnf coming with the packages. Some more info can be found in bug report #37069: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=37069 Whatever you decide about federated, you definitely should upgrade from 5.0.22 to some current versions - there were several important bugfixes (including security issues) which you are lacking. And in your next posting, please specify exactly which packages you are using - platforms *do* make a difference in some cases.

Re: Resend: enabling storage engine with RPM install
Jim, Where did you get your RPM from? Regards John Sorry, but I'm resending because I made a mistake in terminology and want to be clear. The problem isn't that innodb is DISABLED on the database. The innodb engine is not supported by the database. We have 5.0.22 installed on a test machine and for some reason the innodb storage engine was not installed with it. We install from RPMs so I'm not sure how to install the storage engine. If we compiled ourselves, we'd recompile but that's not an option. Does anyone know how to install a storage engine once mysql's been installed by an RPM? How does one make the selections in the first place with RPMs? We've always just taken what we got and it was sufficient.

Re: enabling storage engine with RPM install
yes, but how does one add engines to an existing install? Is it possible? I might want/need to add a storage engine that was not in the initial install.

You need MySQL 5.1 or newer: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/pluggable-storage.html and even then, I don't believe any of the bundled engines are available as plugins. It's mainly for 3rd-party engines. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
Re: InnoDB - CREATE INDEX - Locks table for too long
Hi! On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 2:14 PM, Claudio Nanni claudio.na...@gmail.com wrote: I need to add an index on a table on a production server. It is one 7Gb InnoDB table with single .ibd file (one_file_per_table), the index creation on preprod server took 40 minutes but table was smaller. I tried to add the index but was locking all applications on production and had to kill it. I have requested a maintenance window but it will take long time. Since this application is scanning like crazy I'd like to do it a.s.a.p. Do you have any hint for a non locking solution? Try something like this: create table new_table like old_table; alter table new_table add key(.); insert into new_table select * from old_table where primary_key between ? and ?; Repeat the last statement until nearly finished, then: lock tables new_table write, old_table write; insert into new_table select * from old_table where primary_key ?; rename table old_table backup, new_table old_table; unlock tables; Baron -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
