how to get the timestamp from remote mysql

2009-07-04 Thread Nathan Huang

Hi guys
I am going to fetch out the data from remote mysql database according to 
timestamps colmmen, however my local date is different from the one on 
remote mysql database,
how can I get right timestamp using the date of remote time zone? that 
is to say I set the date and send itto remote server or database to 
calculate  timestamps of it

thanks in advance

R: how to get the timestamp from remote mysql

When you are using SQL connected to the server (mysql -ublah)  the timestamp
is the server one. If you use app time functions it will be client time.
Bottom line: use server sql functions.

There is one straightforward solution: only ever keep timestamps in  
UTC/GMT and correct for time zone / DST when you display them. While  
that can be confusing sometimes, overall it's a much simpler way of  
working that storing local times.

Assuming that synchornizing the clocks between the systems is beyond
your control you could try getting the UTC timestamp from both
systems, then adjust your date/time math according to the difference
between them.

   select unix_timestamp(utc_timestamp());

It is more than a little hacky, but it will work

 - All models are wrong.  Some models are useful.

Re: Anyone using LVM for backing up?

Hi Tim,

 We have a 20 gig db (that includes the MYIs and MYDs and FRMs).

 We are wondering how long LVM snapshots take.. in that how long might
 the DB be read-locked?  Do we have to read-lock it and flush tables?

 Are we talking half a second, ten-seconds, 20 minutes?

It depends.  Long-running queries will block FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK, if you're using it, which will in turn block other queries.  So
FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK itself can take a long time.  If you're
using only InnoDB tables you don't need to do that, you can just take
the snapshot and go.  Upon recovery on the other server you can find
the binlog position in InnoDB's messages to the error log.

There are a lot of subtleties to all of this, so maybe you can give a
few more details about your setup.
