INNODB vs MyISAM
Hi guys, Do both MyISAM tables and INNODB tables support foreign keys in 4.0.15? If so, are the main advantages of using INNODB tables the added features of transactions, cascading deletes, and it's other more robust features? Any thoughts on any disadvantages of INNODB to MyISAM? I know that INSERTS, UPDATES and DELETES will be slower with INNODB cuz of the transaction overhead, but do you think the SELECT speed is about the same? any feedback appreciated. thanks, Don
locked threads
Hi guys, Do you have any thoughts on how to track down a locked thread/query? Basically we've had instances where a query locks up and causes a cascade of locked queries and the db freezes up. By the time it's had enough of an effect for us to see the symptoms (no new queries run) there are a bunch of locked queries and no real way to see which one is the initial culprit. So I was wondering: 1) is there an easy way to monitor whether or not a query is locking up the db? does anyone have a script handy that checks for locks that can be cronned and then an email is sent? 2) in the instance of having a bunch of locks, is there any way to track down the query that orignated a cascade of locks? thanks in advance for the help. -Don -- Don Vu Madstone Theaters 85 fifth avenue, 12th floor new york new york 10003 p 212.379.1545 f 212.989.7744 http://www.madstonefilms.com http://www.madstonefilms.com/ http:// http://www.madstonefilms.com/ www.madstonetheaters.com http://www.madstonetheaters.com/
Invalid Date Bug
Is it just me, or does Mysql allow invalid dates to be entered into columns with date datatype? I found some data that blew up in a perl script when doing some date manipulation, and it turns out I have invalid dates in my database, such as June 31, 2003. Of course June never has 31 days. Is this a known bug? honestly, this seems like a pretty basic thing to validate. Is there a patch/fix for it? here's a transcript of a quick test i did afterwards...june 31 enters successfully but not june 33: mysql create table DateTest ( id integer(11), - startDate date); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec) mysql desc DateTest; +---+-+--+-+-+---+ | Field | Type| Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---+-+--+-+-+---+ | id| int(11) | YES | | NULL| | | startDate | date| YES | | NULL| | +---+-+--+-+-+---+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql insert into DateTest values (1, '2002-06-31'); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql select * from DateTest; +--++ | id | startDate | +--++ |1 | 2002-06-31 | +--++ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) -- Don Vu Madstone Theaters 85 fifth avenue, 12th floor new york new york 10003 p 212.379.1545 f 212.989.7744 www.madstonefilms.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

thanks for the thoughts guys...we've already taken steps to validate on the client side.

Never noticed that before :) I think that would probably be considered a bug. But possibly for efficiency's sake the check was made ultra simple. It can be argued either way. You could just as well consider it a bug that you try to shove garbage into your database. :-) Client-side validation has the disadvantage that you must do it in each client, of course. On the other hand, for things like web apps, you may as well validate the data in the client anyway: Suppose MySQL validated the date and returned an error for a bad data. You'd just have to tell the user that anyway, plus you wasted time sending a bad query to the server. If you check the date in your app, you can tell the user immediately and skip the bad query.

If it misses the occasional additional index, then that is fine. If you have the mysql client programs and are using a Unix machine (maybe even Win but I'm not sure) you can use the mysqldump program. It is usually located in the bin directory of your MySQL distribution. Mine is /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqldump. Read up on it, it can dump all data from your database and does so with the CREATE TABLE statements attached so that the whole thing can literally be rebuilt from scratch.

authentication problem
Hey guys, We're having a weird authentication problem. We have a .jsp (on box1) that tries to connect to a MySQL database (on box2). The privileges have been set to give insert, update, delete to the user. GRANT select, insert, update on d_name.* to d_user IDENTIFIED by d_user; It works fine one day and then the next morning it doesn't work. To hack around, we changed the .jsp to use the root user login (only in our development environment to find the error) and it worked, only to have it broken again the next morning! The only thing that runs overnight is a mysqldump script, which calls this command: mysqldump -u$USERNAME -p$PASSWORD --all-databases It seems like the privileges get messed up by mysqldump? We've also been doing a flush privileges after any change to the grant tables (db, user, host). to isolate the problem, we've removed all related d_user entries. The way it looks now is that the db table is empty, the host table has an entry so that box1 has access to the databases on box2, and user has an entry for root coming from localhost, box1, box2, and to be safe, '%'. does mysql get confused when there's an '%', and then also other entries in the host column of the user table for the same user? Any help would be great...it's been really frustrating. thanks, Don - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?
