Subject: MySQL running out of date 


Some make the laughing stock of MySQL with this code:
create database data_test ;
use data_test;
create table test3 (a date);
insert into test3 values (-1);
insert into test3 values ('1996-02-31');
insert into test3 values ('1996-67-31');
select * from test3;

I ran it on MYSQL-4.10-max and was not amused.
Anyone to comment??

RE: Oracle DBA here looking for advice on MySQL ....

Just look at amazon.  There are more books popping up all the time.

The manual with user comments is the best.
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/

Paul DuBois wrote a good book that helped me get started on a few things.
This one is a newer one I think.

opinion per 1st reply
I've noticed a lot of Oracle people don't like MySQL for one reason or
another.  I don't understand why that is, but in my opion MySQL is easier,
faster and more fun to use.  Granted there are not as many features
available in MySQL, but having the ability to create my own solutions to
problems is what I enjoy most about it.  That's the reason I became a
programmer, not an app user.

Subject: Re: Oracle DBA here looking for advice on MySQL 


I've used a lot of Oracle, some MS Access and I'm newish to MySQL. I
found it easy to write an abstraction layer for Ms Access and Oracle
despite their different approaches to some important things. I find
MySQL very sparse by comparison and I spend more time working round the
db than working with it. Unlike Oracle the richness and integrity of
language is simply missing - these people have lived without something
as useful as sub-queries for a long time. (The argument being that speed
and data integrity are all-important). It's more a file system than a
relational database. I know you asked about books rather than a
comparison of the products, but the software philosophy is reflected in
the documentation. If someone else pays you to be an Oracle Dba then I
bet you have at least a 10 foot shelf of comprehensive documentation.
This list is about as good as it gets (see your previous response).
There is a PDF copy of the manual somewhere and setting up MySql was
accompilshed by a colleague who wouldn't have known where to start with
Oracle, so it has that in its favour.

So, if you're thinking of migrating, think carefully! If I could get
Oracle to give me a sensible price (say USD 1000) to sell their db with
my product I would be out of here so fast. So far with mySQL i've
written my own database for a particular (simple) structure that it
wouldn't handle to my satisfaction; I've written my own date/time
routines to calculate things like seconds between 2 datetimes (despite a
wealth of datatime functions, this one isn't available unless you
convert to 'Unix' dates which expire in 2036) and I've written functions
to handle the fact that in 'C' all data is returned as strings rather
than as native data types. Sigh.

RE: max clients

2003-08-01 Thread Brian Austin
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Linux.html

If you are using Linux, you need to read this section.  You can get up to
4096 connections minus a few for the server admin threads.  Did this a while
back and works well.  I don't know if any of these issues have been resolved
in the Kernel or LinuxThreads yet.  However, you can see from some MS SQL
Server, and Oracle benchmarks, that you can have 20,000+ connections which
sounds cool, till you read the fine print and see each query takes over 5
minutes!  I don't remember where I read that, but it was posted on slashdot
a while back.

Hope that helps.

Brian

RE: store video file into MySQL database server

2003-07-22 Thread Brian Austin
Why not change VIDEO - VIDEO_PATH  and just use the directory path as a
varchar() field to point you to the file stored on your computer.  That way
you don't have to worry about it.  Whenever I need to use images or large
files of some type, I just put it in a directory and reference the path to
it.  like this...

INSERT INTO GAME GAME_ID, GAME_NAME, VIDEO_PATH VALUES(2, 'Termonator2',
'/tmp/tm.mpg');

That leaves you to handle opening it or viewing it in your own code when you
query though.

RE: mysql.sock doesn't exist

2003-06-27 Thread Brian Austin
OK.

I sent to you once on the list, and to the original poster, but it was
returned from his email server (who knows).

Here it goes.

The most probable reason reason that file is not there is permissions.  When
mysqld starts (under user mysql or mysqld) it writes the file in the
directory specified by the my.cnf file.  If the my.cnf file says
path-to-unix-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock, the user that is starting the
server has to have write permissions in that directory.  Otherwise it will
not create the file and die.  Make sure that the user who starts the server
has write permissions in the directory.  A simple ls -l will tell you.  I
hope this can fix your problem, it seems you've been stuck on this quite a
while.

Good Luck

Brian

mysql.sock isn't a 'file' in the normal sense of the word.  It's more
like a symbolic link to the socket which is bound to the the port MySQL
is listening on (so to speak).  It can't really be sent to you, as it
has to be generated when the server starts up.  Let me recap what we've
done here so that hopefully someone will reconize the problem for you...

MySQL is running (verified with a ps -ax)
mysql.sock does not exist
cannot shutdown server, even as root

What's the permissions on the /var/lib/mysql directory, and what
user/group is the mysql daemon set to run as in your my.cnf file?

RE: mysql.sock doesn't exist

2003-06-24 Thread Brian Austin
check that the permissions in the data directory are correct.
If mysqld does not have write perms in that directory, it will not start.

ls -l /var/lib/mysql

mysql_install_db used to set the permissions to the user that ran the
script (usually root).

If you get a failed when the script is stopping the server, it's more
than likely that the server is dying right after it's started.  When you
think it's running do a

ps -ax | grep mysqld

If that doesn't return anything (or it only returns the grep), then the
server isn't running.  Check your logs to see why it's dying.

Re: Install PHP with MySQL

2002-12-05 Thread Brian Austin
yes...
it seems that you do not have mysql in the PHP module.

you can use --with-mysql in the php configure, but you should use 
--with-mysql=/your/mysql/directory

PHP has included code for the default mysql build.  try to use your own libs 
and headers.

 Kenneth,

 I would download the source packages from php.net and explicitly
 compile the mysql options into PHP. As an alternative, you can look
 for the mysql-php library rpms on rpmfind.net. My linux webserver
 (running apache and PHP 4.1.2) has php-mysql-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm, and I
 am sure that there is a comparable rpm package for your version.

 I recently installed the following RPM's:

 MySQL-3.23.41-1a.s390.rpm
 MySQL-devel-3.23.41-1a.s390.rpm MySQLclient9-3.23-22-6a.s390.rpm
 MySQL-server-3.23.41-1a.s390.rpm

 Afterwards, I was able to start the mysqld daemon ok and install an
 application I downloaded for a demonstration of the viability of the
 Linux VM on s390 platform. The application url is
 http://epayroll.sourceforge.net/ and it required mysql v3,22x or
 higher, Apache running as a webserver, and PHP v4.0.2 or higher (mine
 is v4.0.6). However, when I finally attempted to log into this
 application, I got the following error:

 Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
 /var/www/html/eps/datacon.php on line 14

 I contacted the author of this application who suggested that I
 reinstall PHP with the mysql option enabled. Towards that end, I
 downloaded and installed the php-mysql-4.0.6-15.s390.rpm file.
 Unfortunately I got the same error. I am somewhat certain that the
 author of this application was on the right track.

 Would anyone on this forum care to offer me any direction on this
 matter?

 Thank you in advance for your time.
