passing shell variable to the SET data type in parentheses

2012-10-03 Thread Morning Star
Hi guys,
i have a problem when trying to pass shell variable to the SET data
type in parentheses.
i have a variable like this:

$ echo $var
value1,value2,value3

what i did:
mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE
'$table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET( '$var' );' $database ;

the result:
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax;
check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the
right syntax to use near 'value1,value2,value3' at line 1

what do i have to do? please help me.

Greetings,

Marco

What is the result if you echo that line instead of running it?  ie:

echo mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE
' $table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET( '$var' );' $database ;

I'm not clear exactly what the text is of the command you are trying to run.

2012-10-03 Thread Garot Conklin
are you trying to get the value of var encapsulated with  ' ' marks? 
Typical shell expansion while within   will output the literal:

var=10
echo '$var'
'10'


Have you tried removing the single quotes?  The shell can be funny with ' and

Should have included an example:

echo $var
value1,value2,value3

echo mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE
' $table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET( '$var' );' $database ;

mysql -u -p --skip-column-names -e ALTER TABLE
  MODIFY  SET( value1,value2,value3 );

echo mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE
' $table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET( $var );' $database ;

mysql -u -p --skip-column-names -e ALTER TABLE
  MODIFY  SET( $var );

echo mysql -u $user -p${password} --skip-column-names -e 'ALTER TABLE
' $table' MODIFY '$kolom' SET( '$var' );' $database ;

mysql -u -p --skip-column-names -e ALTER TABLE
  MODIFY  SET( value1,value2,value3 );


I believe that this is what Michael was eluding to as well...

need list of country ISO code to demonyms

Anyone have a SQL dump or other programmatically useable map of country ISO
codes to demonyms?

I can parse the strings I suppose there, but that's not quite as accurate,

I don't have it, sorry.

But it took me 10 seconds to copy  paste it to an Excel, so I could 
save it as CSV and import it directly to MySQL. Further on, it'd be as 
simples as JOIN by name with a table with ISO-to-country-names, which 
you can fetch in hundreds of places, such as Wikipedia.

houses, refreshing themselves with more non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers,
cooking more new, appetizing dishes, affording themselves that little extra

Accessing Column Aliases In Other Columns?

2012-10-03 Thread Jan Steinman
I would like to refer to calculated columns in other columns. I thought a 
column alias would do it, but apparently they're only for aggregation, like 
GROUP BY.

Other than repeating the entire calculation, what techniques are available for 
accessing such a calculation?

I'm calculating an electric bill, based on meter readings. I need to subtract 
two meter readings, and use that number in several other calculations, for 
example.


 Transformation is not what happens once we've changed; it's coming out 
of the dark and seeing what we've got and relating to it appropriately and 
clearly. If we've got a funnel in our hands but we think it's a bucket, we're 
going to keep losing things we value. If we know we've got a funnel, then we 
stick one finger in the hole and use it like a bucket to get by in the absence 
of one. We're transformed when we fully know who we are — or, even more 
important, who we are not. -- Rick Lewis

If your var really has three pairs of double-quotes, with the double-quotes

InnoDB corrupt after power failure

2012-10-03 Thread Andrew Miklas
Hi guys,

I recently had a data corruption issue with InnoDB.  MySQL was shut down 
improperly (power failure), and when the system came back up, MySQL refused to 
start.  On inspection of the logs (see below), it looks like the tablespace 
became seriously corrupted.  In the end, I had to rebuild the slave using 
mysqldump.

I'm curious what happened here, since I thought InnoDB wasn't supposed to 
become corrupted on an improper shutdown.  One possibility that we were 
exploring was that the filesystem journal setting was incorrect.  We were using 
ext3 with the journal set to writeback mode.  Is this a known bad config with 
InnoDB?


Thanks for any help,


Andrew
