Re: Is there a limit on the email size for this list?
Hi Egor, I created them according to the INSTALL-BINARY file included in the package downloadable from www.mysql.com I qoute this from the file: // 1. Pick the directory under which you want to unpack the distribution, and move into it. In the example below, we unpack the distribution under `/usr/local' and create a directory `/usr/local/mysql' into which MySQL is installed. (The following instructions therefore assume you have permission to create files in `/usr/local'. If that directory is protected, you will need to perform the installation as `root'.) // Should I not create the directory mysql in /usr/local/ and let gunzip create it for me? Sorry but my knowledge of Linux is desperatly low, I only recently started using the OS and needed a db and mysql seemed like an excellent choice.

Please help newbie with installation. (I read the manual ;-p)
Sorry to double post to the list. Is there anybody out there using SuSE7.3 with the downloadable 4.0.1 max version of mysql? I truly want to start exploring mysql but I cannot get it to run (see below for first post). Thanks in advance for any advice G Hi, I am running SuSE 7.3 Professional and i downloaded the binary files for Max 4.0 version from here: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-max-4.0.html I followed the installation procudure to the letter from this file: /mysql-max-4.0.1-alpha-pc-linux-gnu-i686/INSTALL-BINARY in the archive. I ran: mysql_install_db without any problems. All the setting were kept exactly as stated in the INSTALL-BINARY file. However I can not run: bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql as linux root or as any other user on the local host. As a matter of fact the file does not even exist... The closest I have to the above file is: :/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe Now I also tried to run this scripts with all user linux accounts and by using the -u root option as oposed to --user=mysql (I also tried --user=root from within all linux accounts. I keep on getting this error: george@linux:/usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root [2] 4727 [1] Exit 1 ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root george@linux:/usr/local/mysql Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data ./bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied ./bin/mysqld_safe: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied 020221 23:17:13 mysqld ended tee: /usr/local/mysql/data/linux.err: Permission denied [2]+ Exit 1 ./bin/mysqld_safe --user=root george@linux:/usr/local/mysql I logged in as linux root and gave all users full access to the /usr/local/mysql directory included files and directories below it.

Re: C API example code.
Thanks, I will have a look at the official site. Is anybody aware of a non-oficial site that contains an example with a real db as backend. (With real db I mean tables with a few thousand+ records per table and advanced queries with multiple joins) and then how one can optimise the c code to run optimaly with several clients connecting via the c client code to the server.

How compressable is a typical MySQL database?
Hi list, How compressible is a typical MySQL database? Is this more dependent on the type of columns used i.e. a lot of text columns as opposed to a lot of columns containing integer values? The uncompressed size of the database is in the region of about 800-MB. Also will it suffice to only compress the specific sub-directory pertaining to the relevant database below /mysql/ ?

Re: How compressable is a typical MySQL database?
Sorry, I forgot to ask the folowing as well. When considering the amount by which text can be compressed as compared to other data types, would it be better to store numerical values as text or to store them as integer/float values. If the db needs to be compressed and backed up on a bi-weekly basis. George tc lewis [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/17 2:14 AM would probably be very dependent on the data within the database. if it's a lot of text data, then very compressable, as text typically compresses nicely. if you store a bunch of binary data (images or something), then probably not as much... tar your mysql dir and gzip it, or gzip -9 or bzip2 if you're looking for more compression. test it out. -tcl.
