OT: Bash script to MySql
Sorry for the OT, I deleted the messages from the perosn who sent me a response offlist. In response to his personal emails in reply to: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/158945 he said, Perl was a write only language (meaning it is hard to read since careless people may do sloppy code - not me though!) So I wanted to share with him, in a friendly nature of course ;p, this: If you can't read the code, run it through here: http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/ Now you don't have any excuses! :) Ok no more OT posts! -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: mysql_install_db and error 22
Howdy List, I came across this article in the mail archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg85864.html And subscribed to the list because I am having the same issue. (Hope A. Tucovic is still on the list!) I get: Got error 22 when trying to lock mutex in log.cc , line 1689 when running mysql_install_db following the same instructions mentioned at the link above. It does create the 'mysql' and 'test' directories in the data directory but no files in either. (Although isn't 'test' empty at the start anyway?) I feel like if I could get the mysq/ db tables set up I'd be in business. So any ideas what I can do to get past this? Is it possible to manually create the files necessary or is it kosher to just copy them from another server(doubtful) (linux)? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

AUTO_INCREMENT values are reused > for BDB and ISAM tables and not reused for MyISAM and InnoDB tables. Oh cool! So if I want to reuse them and know 100% they will be reused I need to specify the type as BDB or ISAM. And if I want to not reuse them and know 100% for sure they won't be reused I need to dpescify MyISAM or InnoDB. That's were my problem lay I believe, I never specified the table type and just let it happen as it felt like. Lesson learned! Thanks a million!

AUTO_INCREMENT Starting over
Hello group, I have a table that I create with CREATE TABLE SuperTest ( ID int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, Name varchar(64) NOT NULL, Domain varchar(64) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY(ID) ); I use that same thing to create a the same table on two servers. On one server (mysql Ver 11.16 Distrib 3.23.49, for portbld-freebsd4.6 (i386)) If I add, say five records I get ID to be 1,2,3,4,5. Then I delete ID 5 and insert a new record and it's id is 6. So now I have 1,2,3,4,6. That's what I want it to do. However on the other server (mysql version ???) if I have 1,2,3,4,5, delete ID 5 and insert a new one it makes the new one ID 5. I suppose because it's the next number. I'm not really even sure what to call it besides 'non reusable auto_increment'. I can't seem to find anything on mysql.com about what settings, version, etc cause it to work either way. Any insight would be greatly appreciated as in some situations I really need it to be one way or the other consistently across servers.

I think trim is trimming off the stuff after the first whitespace?
What is the trim function supposed to do?
Mysql isn't doing it your PHP is.
Use Perl and I bet it starts working :) ok, or you could fix or
replace the trim function with one that does not remove that data.

Finding Table and database size
Howdy List! A couple questions about finding the disk space used by a table/database: 1) First how can I get the size a table is taking up on disk? Is it the 'Data_length' field in: SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM db_name LIKE 'wild';?? If so how can I do a query like the one above and just get Data_length returned? Otherwise what query can I do to find the disk size of a table? 2) Is there a simple query to get the disk size of a database and all of it's tables? Or do I need to do the method I use in question one on each table in the db and add them up?
