Intel ICC libs for Mysql 4.1 using libc 2.3

2005-10-04 Thread Christopher L. Everett

The Mysql download page says I need to install these libraries if I
am using libc 2.3.x.

I have a couple of questions:

-- do I install them by just copying them to /usr/local/lib?
-- will they play that silly game of running unoptimized code on
  AMD processors?

Repeated corruption with MySQL 4.1.x using FULLTEXT indexes

2004-10-06 Thread Christopher L. Everett
I have an application where I create a faily large table (835MB) with a
fulltext index.  One of our development workstations and our production
server will run the script to load the table, but afterwards we have a
pervasive corruption, with out of range index index pointer errors. 
Oddly, my development workstation doesn't have those problems.

My box and the ones having the problems have the following differences:
 - my box runs ReiserFS, the problem boxes run XFS
 - my box has a nice SCSI HD subsystem, the problem boxes do IDE.
All three boxes run Linux 2.6.x kernels, and my workstation and production
server share the same mobo.  Come to think of it, I saw similar corruption
issues under 2.4.x series kernels and MySQL v4.0.x, it just wasn't the
show stopper it is now.
Also, on all three boxes, altering the table to drop an index and create
a new one requires a myisamchk -rq run afterwards when a fulltext index
either exists or gets added or dropped, which I'd also call a bug.

The problems you're describing are similar to what I've run into when there
have been hardware related problems.  

One system had a problem with ram.  Memory tests would test and report ram
as ok, but everything started working when I replaced the ram.  I think it
was just brand incompatibility or something odd, because the ram never gave
any problems in another system.
I can generate the problem on much smaller data sets, in the mid tens of
thousands of records rather than the millions of records.
I'll do a memtest86 run on the development boxes overnight, but as I did 
that
just after I installed linux on them and used the linux badram patch to 
exclude
iffy sections of RAM, I don't think thats a problem.

One system had hard drive media slowly failing and this wasn't obvious until
we ran several full scan chkdsks.
3 hard drives all of different brand, model  size, and the problem 
happening
in the same place on both?  Not likely.

The funniest situation was where enough dust had collected in the CPU fan to
cause slight over heating, which resulted in oddball errors.
This isn't a problem on my box.  I have a 1.5 pound copper heatsink with a
90mm heat sensitive fan and a fan+heatsink for the hard drive, and I saw
myisamchk consistently generate the same error in the same place over and
over.  The sensors report my CPU running in the 45 degree centigrade range
on my box pretty consistently.
In each of these cases, everything would work fine until the system would
start processing larger amounts of data.  Small amounts of corruption began
to show up that seemed to build on itself.
This may or may not relate to what you're dealing with, but maybe it will
help =)
I'll look, but I don't think that's the problem.   I'm going to see how 
small
of a data set will cause this problem and file a bug report.

Compiling from source

2004-01-08 Thread Christopher L. Everett
I'm using AMD K7 servers and don't need/want InnoDB so I want to compile
mysql from source and I was curious about what compiler flags to use, so
I went to http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Compile_and_link_options.html which
left me with some questions:
1. Does pgcc _still_ produce the fastest executables?  I find this hard to
  believe when the pgcc download page at goof.com was last updated in 2000.
2. What compiler flags do the binaries distributed on www.mysql.com use?

Re: MySQL 4.1 replication relay log control

2003-10-11 Thread Christopher L. Everett
Victoria Reznichenko wrote:

relay-log-purge is available from 4.1.1. Do you use 4.1.1 or 4.1.0?

Is it in the manual because relay-log-purge is available in 4.0.x?

AFAICT, 4.1.1 isn't available for download from the mysql.com site.
4.1.0-alpha is.  How would one obtain 4.1.1?
Would this work to manage the relay log size:

1. restart the slave server to make it start a new realy log
2. monitor the slave server status until we see that its on the new
relay log
3. at that point stop the slave server again
4. delete the extra logs and edit the relay log index by hand.
5. start the slave server.

MySQL 4.1 replication relay log control

2003-10-09 Thread Christopher L. Everett
The online manual at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Replication_Options.html

says that these two variables:

max-relay-log-size=#
relay-log-purge=0|1
exist to control the size of the relay log.  But when I try to start my 
slave server
with:

set-variable = max-relay-log-size=192MB
set-variable = relay-log-purge=1
in my.cnf it won't start.  Am I using them right?

ran out of space for bin logs

2003-10-02 Thread Christopher L. Everett
Aparrently my binlogs grew and grew and ate up all the space on their 
partition.

At this point, I see this on the master

mysql show master status;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
and this on the slave:

mysql show slave status\G
*** 1. row ***
 Master_Host: master-db
 Master_User: repl
 Master_Port: 3306
   Connect_retry: 60
 Master_Log_File: carbon-bin.09
 Read_Master_Log_Pos: 201392116
  Relay_Log_File: silicon-relay-bin.07
   Relay_Log_Pos: 4
Relay_Master_Log_File: carbon-bin.09
Slave_IO_Running: No
   Slave_SQL_Running: Yes
 Replicate_do_db:
 Replicate_ignore_db:
  Last_errno: 0
  Last_error:
Skip_counter: 0
 Exec_master_log_pos: 201392116
 Relay_log_space: 4
which I think means my replications long past the point of retrieval.

I'm pretty well reconciled to taking my system out of production, 
copying all the
databases from the master to the slave, dropping the binlogs and restarting
the replication.

I have 2 questions:

1. Can I safely delete the binlogs and clear the binlog index by hand?
2. How can I regulate the size of the binlogs to something manageable?
TIA for your help.

Missing rows from select statements on heap table type

2001-02-01 Thread Christopher L. Everett

I upgraded from 3.23.27-beta to 3.23.32 after seeing bugfixes 
on intermediate versions.  However the problems are continuing:
Mod_perl DBI/DBD::mysql queries are failing to return rows that 
I know exist.  It could be DBI/DBD::Mysql, but just in case 
I have some questions: 

- Are there known problems with the heap table type?  
- Are there better ways of programming, say using bindings 
  rather than using '?' placeholders, that could help?
- Could updates interfere with my queries to produce this?
- What speed penalty would I incur by going to MyISAM tables,
  given enough RAM to keep the data I need in the filesystem 
  cache?

I don't think my server is particularly stressed, the load 
numbers are typically less than .3, .1, .05 and CPU 95% or
better free.

TIA for you help.
