MySQL replication and reverse replication?

2010-09-14 Thread Machiel Richards
Good day all

 I am hoping everyone is well.


Can someone perhaps assist me with some resources on the following
topic


one of our clients are running a MySQL 5 master/slave replication
setup.

There is a DR test schedule during next month, however they want the
slave server to become the master and the master server to become the
slave server.

I am busy looking into how to setup a master / slave replication,
however I am trying to find out how to do the relevant changes as
mentioned above.

The next test they then want to do is to test the switch over to the
slave server in cases where the master server should fail. I am however
not that experienced on MySQL as yet and cant seem to find specific
references on how to do this change over?


any ideas or resources will be appreciated.


Regards
Machiel


Re: Unique ID's across multiple databases

2010-09-14 Thread Johnny Withers
I may have missed what you are trying to do here. NoSQL is really a bad name
and should really be renamed to NoREL instead. NoSQL implementations are not
used just because of limitations of traditional RDBMS when it comes to sheer
traffic volume, they are also used because they scale horizontally very
well. When I was reading though all these emails it seems to be you would
have 200+ nodes here with the SAME data. Maybe that's not what you are
trying to do?

I also did not know the software for maintaining the data was already in
place.

 I can't help but blink at that. How exactly is NoSQL going to fix issues
 that are related to topology, not inherent SQL limitations ? Which
 particular incarnation of NoSQL are you thinking of ?

 Also, I suspect rewriting all 200 clients' services is not going to be an
 option :-)

Capitalize Input via Auto Complete?

2010-09-14 Thread Carlos Mennens
I am new to MySQL coming from PostgreSQL  noticed a really annoying
issue. When I select a database, and try to auto complete in MySQL, it
doesn't capitalize the MySQL statements.

It's irritating to me to only be able to auto complete statements like
'SELECT', 'ALTER',  'INSERT' only if I hold down the shift key or
caps lock key while typing. Is there a way to force MySQL to auto
complete commonly used statements while typing them in lowercase which
is normal behavior in PostgreSQL?

Thanks for any info!

RE: Crashed Table - How to report/prevent?

2010-09-14 Thread Gavin Towey
Innodb doesn't suffer from corruption issues nearly as often as myisam tables, 
and it is able to recover on its own in many cases (crash recovery.)  In my 
experience, if innodb does get corrupted, it's most often because of hardware 
problems. You could consider using it instead.

Subject: Crashed Table - How to report/prevent?

Good day MySQL!

I had a table that crashed last night.  There is a cron function that
goes out every 6 hours or so, that does a quick table backup (it's also
replicated, it's just something that we have running now).   ANYWAY, I
think it crashed early in the evening, but when the backup ran, it looks
like it marked it as crashed finally (which was about 4 hours later).

The table was able to be read up until then, but it looks like it wasn't
able to be written too.

What I want to know is, is there a quick and easy way to maybe every few
hours, check to see if there are any crashed tables or whatnot?

This is only the 2nd time in the last 1 1/2 years.  the table that
crashed, is a table that gets created every month, and is about 5gig in
size at the end of the month (it has a lot of records/fields in it which
is why i create a new one every month).

I could write a quick routine that goes and 'shows' the tables, and if
it fails, then repair it (or report it back to me via email or
something).


Any ideas on a way to automate something that is efficient and quick?

Steve

RE: no success (was: hard disk crash: how to discover the db?)

2010-09-14 Thread Gavin Towey
With PHP, a blank page usually means it's generating an error, but not 
displaying it in the browser; this is often disabled for security reasons, but 
makes debugging harder.  First step should be to get PHP to spit out the actual 
error.  There should probably be a setting in the mediawiki configuration for 
this, or see the PHP docs for error reporting.

We do nightly backups at work just by taring the mysql directory.  In

Like this:

service mysql stop
cd /var/lib/mysql
rm -rf *
tar zxvf file.tar
rm -rf ib_logfile*
chown -R mysql.mysql
service mysql start

I have followed these steps and it seems not to work.
I have re installed the mediawiki software and then I tried
to open the corresponding  wikipage, but only see empty pages.
There are several reasons for this:

-  when the hard disk crashed the database was damaged,
   as a matter of fact when I have a look into the
   /var/lib/mysql/maqwiki
   directory most of the  files are very small in size with the
   exception of searchindex.MYD and searchindex.MYI. I
   have no idea whether this is normal.

-  I did not do the recover process correctly. Is there
   any hardcore mysql command I could use to check the
   database?

-  the connection between the mediawiki conf and the
   data base is broken. I will ask in the mediawiki page
   about this.

Any advice and help is very much appreciated.

Alternatively,  there is MySQL WorkBench.  Some of the guys around here
use SQLYog but, since it is a LAMP environment, I like that WorkBench is
native instead of dealing with wonky Wine issues.  I haven't noticed

There's some impressive stuff built for VIM, but my VIM-fu is still

Is there some reason you can't use a graphical tool?

You do know you can use ssh tunnels and such to connect to your server from
your desktop right? I do it all day long. It's pretty easy to do and built
in to these programs.
