There's various reasons why - almost all my setups also use it. It's not a
reliable mechanism for dual-active setups, but as a hot standby there's
nothing wrong with it whatsoever. Read the book again :-)

I don't have a straight explanation about why the secondary master offers
data from a week ago, though. If replication is running, maybe there's
something going on with the binlogging on the primary ? Check the primary's
master status and the secondary's slave status; check what's in the
primary's binlogs and in the secondary's relay logs; if need be check the
traffic that goes over the replication interface.

Failover on master/slave replication

2010-10-19 Thread Machiel Richards
Good day all

I am hoping someone has had some experience in this to assist
me.

I have been going through lots of forums and documentation and
can find a lot of information on how to setup a master/slave replication
on MySQL.

The question I have however is how do you fail over to the slave
server in the event that the master server is unavailable and then how
to revert back to the master server once the server is available again.

This is one thing I can't seem to get much info on unless I am
looking in the wrong places.


   I would really appreciate help on this one.


Regards
Machiel

server in the event that the master server is unavailable and then how

Hi,

  to fail over to the slave, you dont need to do anything (except be  
sure that replication is off). That is, tell your apps etc to use the  
slave IP/hostname, change the slave server IP to that of the master or  
update DNS so that all connections are made to the slave instead of  
the master.


To reinstate the master after a failover, you must copy your live  
database (now on slave) to the master and reinitiate replication  
pretty much as you did when replication was initially setup. Copying  
the live DB can be achieved via restoring a backup (from the live  
slave) or you could look at Maakit which can analyse table differences  
and copy only changed data (useful for very large DBs, Ive not  
personally used it tho).


Thats about it I think, unless anyone wants to correct me on that...

thanks Andy.

Re: Failover on master/slave replication

2010-10-19 Thread Johan De Meersman
That's pretty much it, indeed. You need to make absolutely sure that no more
connections can be made to the old, broken master, though - even if you have
to physically pull the network or power cable. Failover services refer to
this as STONITH: Shoot The Other Node In The Head.

Don't think but it went down anyway, that's why I failed over - sometimes
the service unexpectedly manages to recover itself after you've switched;
and any data that gets inserted into the wrong system is as good as lost,
unless you want to go through a manual reconciliation before reinitialising
the replication.

On the MySQL site, I guess :-) Your major issue is likely to be the lack of
two-phase commits (which has been added in the most recent release, iirc):
even if you properly interleave your autoincrements, the lack of a true
global lock means you still risk conflicting updates.

I can't really tell you a single spot where I got my knowledge on the
subject - I'm a long-time and multi-platform DBA, so it's a combination of
stuff I read and an understanding of how things work - or don't.

RE: Failover on master/slave replication

2010-10-19 Thread Jerry Schwartz
The short answer is this: You need special software outside of MySQL to do 
this. This software has to

- Keep a heartbeat going between the two servers. Whether or not you do this 
by checking only MySQL, or the machines themselves, depends upon what other 
applications might be running (web server, etc.)
- In the event of a failure, it should cause a shutdown of the primary server 
MACHINE.
- The secondary MACHINE should adopt the IP address of the failed primary.

Switching the machines back to the original configuration is done (or at least 
initiated) by hand, because you need to identify and fix whatever the problem 
was.

Of course you know you did not delete r...@localhost, just root @ '%'
which generally should not matter to mysqldump.

What I suspect is the issue here is that the database you are trying
to dump contains procedures/methods that were defined by a user while
logged in as root@'%'.  If you recreate those procs as your database
user, this should correct.

It's easy to corrupt the MYISAM index (MYI) file... I do something
like this in linux -- assuming your table is not tiny, and mysql isn't
running or you have a lock on the table:

dd if=table.MYI of=table2.MYI bs=2048 count=100

then copy table2.MYI over table.MYI and then flush tables and then unlock.

Your table will be unreadable until you rebuild the index with REPAIR

If your MYI file is smaller than 200k, then just reduce the count=#.

  routine,  but the table is still readable/writable, just doesn't have
  any info when selecting it...
 
  is there another way to corrupt the table, where you can't even select
  from it, or the responce back from a select is an error?

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file rebuilds tables for each tzdata!

2010-10-19 Thread Daevid Vincent
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/time-zone-support.html#c11545

Note that if you are trying to keep your own database of cities and their
timezones, you can NOT use the mysql.time_zone_name.Time_zone_id as your FK
because the key will change the next time you get a new tzdata update
(like from an apt-get update) and re-run mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file.
You'll have to store the Name column instead otherwise you loose data
integrity.

That script wipes the tables and re-creates them! rather than doing an
UPDATE to existing records as you would reasonably expect.

*sigh*

Re: Master Master Replication ... do a fail over and a week agos data is revealed.

2010-10-19 Thread Walter Heck - OlinData.com
To Clarify this a bit: You can only reliably do writes to one server.
Your reads can go to both servers with no problems.
For reads that need to read data that was just written though, you
need to read from the 'active' master, as you can not rely on
replication to be instantaneous.

 Johan,

 You state that master - master is not reliable in dual active environments.
 I am in the process of setting up just such an environment (moderate active
 on the primary server, lighter activity on the other server.)  Do you know
 where I can get some information on the risks?


 On the MySQL site, I guess :-) Your major issue is likely to be the lack of
 two-phase commits (which has been added in the most recent release, iirc):
 even if you properly interleave your autoincrements, the lack of a true
 global lock means you still risk conflicting updates.

 I can't really tell you a single spot where I got my knowledge on the
 subject - I'm a long-time and multi-platform DBA, so it's a combination of
 stuff I read and an understanding of how things work - or don't.

customers and wouldhave a much harder time managing them (and
failures) without it. Don't try to do failovers by hand, use MMM
instead.

Re: mysqldump: Got error: 1449: The user specified as a definer ('root'@'%') does not exist when using LOCK TABLES

Hi Pradhan,

Obviously, it should fail. Since you have deleted the root user which is
used by mysqldump for making connection to mysql server for taking backup



Not true. The utility mysqldump is just a client like any other program 
and can authenticate with the MySQL instance (the database daemon) as 
any valid user.

Hi,

I am using the following version of MySQL on my Mac OS X Server 10.5.8:
*** Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.4.1-beta, for apple-darwin9.5.0 (i386) using
readline 5.1 ***

In order to restrict root account login from localhost only, I did the
following:
mysql  DELETE FROM user WHERE user = 'root' AND host = '%';
mysql  FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

After this,
mysqldump failed with the following error:
$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h localhost -u root ABC_DATABASE
abc.dump
mysqldump: Got error: 1449: The user specified as a definer
('root'@'%') does not exist when using LOCK TABLES



To fix this, you need to reset the DEFINER for a TRIGGER defined within 
the database so that it is defined as a valid user account.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/triggers.html



Even following cmd failed:
$ /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump -h host_name -u user1 -p
ABC_DATABASE  abc.dump
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'user1'@'IP
Address' (using password: YES) when using LOCK TABLES



In order to issue the LOCK TABLES command, a user needs certain privileges:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/privileges-provided.html



Can anybody advise as how to make mysqldump work while restricting
root login access from localhost only?



Securing MySQL is fairly easy. Check out this guide in the manual for 
details:

Re: mysqldump: Got error: 1449: The user specified as a definer ('root'@'%') does not exist when using LOCK TABLES

2010-10-19 Thread Tanmay Pradhan
Yes, r...@localhost entry is still present in user table. Only
root@'%' is deleted. So it's not obvious to fail.

Hi yu.zou,
The r...@localhost entry already had all privileges, except this entry
had empty password column.

u...@localhost entry before GRANT

However, I still gave the following cmd.
