My thoughts, if have one MySQL server running on one box with 10 databases, and 1 or 2 of those databases are getting the majority of the requests and tying up the processes, seems like the other 8 would suffer. Hi! You can think of server instances as you'd think of databases. If one server instance (say, that with one or two heavily-loaded databases) gets a lot of requests, the other server instances suffer. With separate server instances you'll suffer from additional overhead.

Functions like gethostbyname(),gethostbyaddr(),res_init,res_query()...etc and hostent structure type are implemented in glibc. Correct. Without all this, the TCP/IP communication CAN NOT EXIST. MySQL have the own way/functions for resolving hostnames but which is based on the glibc functions. The glibc defines the SYSTEM CALLS and others functions and it used by the C/C++ compiler. In fact by adding IP address in /etc/hosts, the glibc function gethostbyaddr() reserve the RIGHT MEMORY SIZE FOR IT(seems to be a recast to int type). If the IP address/Alias is not present in hosts, this function make an wrong allocation memory and for this MySQL daemon is crashed. That's it. Seems to be. Got it. :-) In my previous e-mail i don't say nothing about Domain Class(A,B,C) or canonical name or reverse lookup or other things which is on DNS responsibility.I try to say about how it work and was my wish to not to be too technical. Not in those words, but you talked about host resolving. That is certainly DNS functionality. You talked about SERVER... it can be understood in many different ways. But it seems to me that this issue is resolved and over.

Hi, I read the book, but there is not explain about it.
I would like to know when I give privileges to the user, in the table
level, and after I give privileges in the database level. Do I replace the
privileges?
There are two tables ('db' and 'tables_priv') in mysql database.
I gave privileges, for example, to the table 'tables_priv', I give only
'select' privilege to the table Tb01.
But I give other privileges, now to the table 'db'. I gave 'insert',
'delete' and 'update' privileges to the database 'Test'.
Now the user has privileges to:
- 'select' the table 'Tb01'
- ''insert', 'delete' and 'update' the database 'Test'. Right

What can he do?
Can he insert or delte on the table tb01?
Can he select data in all the tables of the database 'Test'?
Hi!
Well, testing that ought not to be too difficult. ;-) Just run a couple of
statements as those users and see what they can accomplish. MySQL states
pretty clearly when you don't have sufficient access to something.

It can handle even several hundreds of gigabytes of data, assuming it is well organized and the queries are optimized. Do you know about any article or study about MySql efficiency? If not, maybe you can just tell me your own experience.

The server is running Solaris, if it's necessary to do it through the OS insteady of through MySQL. Hi, Unfortunately you'll have to use Solaris disk quotas for that. Make sure that the table files of each restricted-space user count towards their personal quotas. This means that you have to create a separate OS account for each user you want to restrict with the quota. This also means that the table files must be owned by those restricted users.

If I then go and start it through the console and run winmysqladmin.exe All my information appears like normal. Can anyone suggest what I should do?

Re: Mysqld to listen from an other port than 3306 (2)

Re: GRANT question
Hi, Yes, you're right. GRANT and REVOKE do not need FLUSH PRIVILEGES afterwards. Flushing is only needed when manually updating the grant tables via normal INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE commands. Regards, Iikka On Wed, 2 Oct 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If i use GRANT and REVOKE to change user privileges, it is my understanding that i don't have to issue a FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement. Is this correct? Our sysadmin rebooted the MySQL server this morning, and there were some privilege problems afterward. I had to reset the privileges for some mysql users. The only thing i can think of is that there were some pending privilege changes that were read by mysqld for the first time when the server restarted. any other theories about why this would happen? regards, sean peters [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 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?

Re: Basic RPM installation?
Hi, You indeed have to su to root to get things working. safe_mysqld as root didn't work because your PATH environment wasn't correctly set because you didn't use this: su - su - makes the new shell the user's login shell, resetting environment variables and reading configuration files to re-set them correctly. With su - it will work as expected. You would have got it working with this, though: /usr/bin/safe_mysqld or ./safe_mysqld when you were in /usr/bin.

Re: mysql all messedup ... :'( .....
Hi, Er, I don't want to be rude, but those dots drive me crazy. Could you include more details? What version of MySQL running now? Running as a service r from the command line? You can't even log in? What does MySQL client say? I suggest using the command line client for early troubleshooting, just to make sure the problem isn't elsewhere. Did you do a proper uninstall? I mean, if you had your previous mysqld installed as a service, did you uninstall that service first? Are you using your old grant tables or the clean, new ones that ship with the setup package? Or are you logging in as 'root'? Or as a different user? Double check your passwords and try an empty password for 'root', too. Also, please see http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Access_denied.html for some common causes of Access Denied errors.

Hi, Just to clarify a bit, the file in \windows is called winstart.bat, but it seems to be discontinued in Windows XP (may not be available in W2K either). In Windows NT it works, though. In NT/W2K/XP the most efficient way to modify these variables _and_ persist them is through My Computer-Properties... as I noted in an earlier message. After thinking this a bit, it'd be very nice if the MySQL setup program offered an option to automatically add mysql\bin to the PATH environment variable (whoever is responsible of the setup, please consider this!) on Windows. Best regards, Iikka On Wed, 25 Sep 2002, Leonardo Javier Belén wrote: Try to modify the autoexec.bat if you are using Win9x or the Path User env in Winnt. Another choice in some systems is to modify DOSTART.bat or something like that in \windows. A way to keep the previous setting of the PATH env is to issue a stat like SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\mysql; ...

Re: access denied ????
No. Not in MySQL or phpMyAdmin but on the operating system / file system level instead. Open up the data directory in My Computer on your server, then right-click that directory, select Security tab, there add Everyone or the use that MySQL service runs as to the list and select Full Access. Then click Advanced permissions or something like that below the permissions list (I'm not sure, running Finnish Windows 2000 right now). However, check the lower checkbox on the Permissions tab in order to enable permissions inheritance from a upper level to a lower one. You might have to shut down MySQL during the permissions change.

Re: Mysql Error
Hi, Getting a bit off-topic... I'm not sure whether you can add functionality to an already compiled PHP installation. Maybe your best bet is to recompile your PHP, that way you can get the latest version, and with only the functionality you want. Just remember to enable --with-mysql during the configuration. The source package at www.php.net has a good installation guide.

Re: installin mysql on win 2000
Hello Ryan, No real problems with Windows 2000 Server and Adv. Server. Install SP3 before MySQL as the SP installation might remove the MySQL service registration in some cases. The setup process itself is an extremely straightforward one, taking just two or three minutes. The manual has good information on how to install MySQL as a service and whether to choose MAX or normal version for regular use etc. etc. You might want to use phpMyAdmin to administer your MySQL server (if you have a PHP/Apache box available). Another good (although discontinued) frontend is MySQLFront. phpMyAdmin has the advantage that you don't need a Windows box to work with it, any computer with a browser is sufficient.

Re: Stopping Running Queries...

RE: performance tunning 4.x
Hello,
A MySQL developer would be able to answer to these questions more
accurately, but I'll try to answer _logically_. So don't bet a million
dollars on the correctness of my answer.
NOTE: The query cache does not return stale data. When data is modified,
any relevant entries in the query cache are flushed.
If I have a select statement like:
select col1, col2 from table1 where col1='A'
1) will the cache be flushed if someone changes a non-referenced column for
one of the retrieved rows:
Update table1 set col3 = 'x' where col1='A'
this update changes col3 that falls within the Where of the query but it
affects a column that is not returned by the query.
I think this flushes the cache. Think about a situation where col1 is a
computed column that derives its values from the data in col3. When col3
is updated, the value of col1 in the query cache would become invalid.
2) or will the cache be flushed if someone changes a row that falls outside
of the query's Where clause:
This shouldn't explicitly flush the cache, but I don't know the details of
the implementation. This insert shouldn't have any effect on the
aforementioned SELECT query, because col1 here is 'D'.
insert into table1 (col1, col2, col3) values('D', 'x', 'y');
This last query updates the same table as the select query, but the row
that is added is outside the range of the query's where clause.
So how smart is the cache?
a) Is it smart enough to allow table updates and if the update doesn't
affect the query, will it continue to use the cache? (This requires a lot
of intelligence.)
b) Or will any update to the rows that fall within the range of the query
(regardless of whether the column is in the query) will flush the cache?
c) Or will any update to the table automatically flush the cache?
MONTY:
I would like to see the Explain command to say if it is using the cache or
not (CACHE:Yes/No). This would help developers make better use of the cache
if they know how what affects it.
Mike

Re: mysql newbie
Hello, sorry for a late answer, but here it comes. On Tue, 27 Aug 2002, Mylin Campos wrote: I'm a newbie with mysql. I have a few question and would really appreciate it if you can help me. I'm creating a database for a payroll system. I actually finish with my entity relationship diagram. What should be the next step? I know I should create the database already but while reading the mysql documentation I've been encountering so many questions that I'm getting all confused on where to start. Right, if you have the root account or any other account that has enough privileges, the right way to start is to create your own database. For now stick with the default settings for that, they are OK. First, where does the priviledges come in? Specifically the alter, drop, select, insert (etc) priviledges come in? Or does this concern the database administrator which is not my concern since I'm only the software developer. Every time you run a query on MySQL it checks whether you have enough permissions to do so or not. If not, it returns an error. If you are the owner of your database (I suppose you are), you have all rights to that database, including ALTER, DROP, CREATE and so on. As the owner you also have SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE at your disposal, along with others. If you read the manual beginner's section very carefully, I think you will grasp the permissions topic fairly well. It's important to remember that users are defined using username/hostname pairs. That is, for example, you can have different privileges, depending on whether you login from your work computer or your home computer, as they have different IP addresses and host names. Should I create the tables and then what next? Yep, create tables. Then insert/dump your data into them. Or do anything that suits your needs. :-) Mysql does not a have a feature like access where you link one key to another by dragging one field to another. does this mean that linking the tables in mysql is done manually via the sql statements? That's because MySQL is just a database backend, Access has the Jet engine that it uses as a separate DLL, MySQL clients are available but their current functionality is a bit limited in some cases. MySQLFront is a good one to start with. You can use Access, too, to use MySQL but all its graphical features won't work, though. phpMyAdmin is fairly efficient, but it requires you to have a web server running PHP. For most of your daily work you can use any graphical frontend you want to, but for the more advanced (mostly administrative) tasks you will want to learn enough pure SQL to accomplish those tasks more effectively. A URL for graphical MySQL frontends: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/gui-clients.html MyCC is pretty OK, but its development is still underway. Hope this helps, feel free to ask further questions as needed.

Hello, There are basically two things you should consider: 1) Switch to InnoDB tables and create several data files just under 2GB each 2) Use MyISAM RAID option This requires you to compile your MySQL with --with-raid configuration parameter. Then MySQL will create separate 00, 01, 02, 03 and so on directories with a piece of your table in each of them. See Manual section 6.5.3 (CREATE TABLE syntax) for detailed coverage.

Re: mysql password file
Hi, If I understood your message right, the answer is no. The only place passwords are stored is the mysql database, so they're physically located in the mysql.MYD file. They're encrypted there, too.

Re: File path
Hello Alexander, Yes, it is possible. Start your mysqld(-max)(-nt) instances with --defaults-file=C:\windows\my.ini option and it should work.

Re: lost mysql database tables
Hello Dave, Phew... what a situation! ;-) You can always run mysql_install_db script on *NIX, but it clears your existing permissions. On Windows you can do an xcopy for your mysql database from the distribution package, but that doesn't save your permissions, either. First, though, make sure that you really don't have any disk files in the data\mysql directory. If there are any .MYD and .MYI files, they can contain your permissions. The .frm files can then be copied from another similar server (they only contain the table definitions, not the actual data). What about backups? ;-) Regards, Iikka ** * Iikka Meriläinen * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vaala, Finland * ** On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Dave Reinhardt wrote: I seem to have lost the mysql database tables.

Re: instance
Hello Alexander, You can easily have two or more instances (mysqld processes) of MySQL running on the physically same server as long as they have different data directories. You possibly could, in theory, have a system where several mysqld processess share the same data directory (still having different databases) but this approach is _extremely_ tricky to get working reliably. About the need of several server instances, you could use another MySQL for production use (possibly with the normal port, stable table handlers etc.), meanwhile having another instance for development use, running on a different port. The good point of this approach is that if the development instance crashes due to some strange experiment (as mine sometimes does :-), it won't affect the production instance in any way. Of course, you should try to separate your production and development environments, but it's not always affordable.

Re: Concept
Hi, If you mean the concept (in Oracle) where an instance is effectively one database, the architectures differ a whole lot. Whereas Oracle, as I said, creates an instance for each database it's running, MySQL can handle several databases within one server process instance. The concept of data files is different, too. In Oracle you can define tablespaces that can span one or more datafiles. Then you create your tables into those tablespaces (--data files). MySQL, by default, creates three files per table: [tblname].MYI (indices built on the table), [tblname].MYD (the actual data - this is often the biggest file in a physical table representation), and [tblname].frm within which lies the definition (column names, data types etc.) of the table. MySQL doesn't have real control files like Oracle, it uses my.cnf instead to supply some values to the server that can't be specified runtime. You can, however, control the behaviour of the mysqld(-nt).exe by using some of the command-line startup parameters, if you like. Hope this helps! :-) Regards, Iikka ** * Iikka Meriläinen * * IT Support * * Vaalan kunta * * -- * * E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * ** On Tue, 16 Jul 2002, Alexander Burbello wrote: I would like to know if MySQL has the same concept like Oracle has about Instance? or phisical structure like datafiles, control files, etc. - 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?
