Mysql 4.0 Adding fields to large tables
Hello all, I am trying to add a field to a very large table. The problem is that mysql locks up when trying to do so. I even tried deleting the foreign keys on the table and it wont even let me do that, again locking up. It works for around 5 minutes or so then just either locks or the database dies and I have to restart it. Any ideas how to do this?

Character encoding problem STILL
Hey all, So I decided to start fresh on a test machine just to see if I could get french characters working. These are my steps: Freshly Installed Mysql 5.0.45 Configure the MySql Server now Detailed Configuration Developer Machine Multifunctional Database Online Transaction Processing Enable TCP/IP Networking and Enable Strinct Mode Best Support for Multilingualism Install as Windows Service Created a DB CREATE DATABASE testdb CHARACTER SET 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci'; Created a table: CREATE TABLE `testtable` ( `id` INTEGER(11) NOT NULL, `textfield` mediumtext, PRIMARY KEY (`id`))TYPE=InnoDB CHARACTER SET 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_general_ci'; SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%' produced all utf8 Trying INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); produced incorrect string value DID: SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8; Trying INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); produced incorrect string value Replaced: sql-mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION with: sql-mode=NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION in the my.ini file restarted mysql Tried INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); and was accepted Select returned nothing in the textfield field Tried SET NAMES utf8; SET CHARACTER SET utf8; INSERT INTO `testtable` VALUES (1,'é û ê à è'); again select returned nothing in the texfield field. Can someone PLEASE explain as to what I am doing wrong and why I cannot get french characters working in mysql 5??

Character encoding problem
Hello, We are trying to upgrade from 4.0 to 5 and we are not having any luck on the character sets. We need to use French characters for some things. We have tried setting utf8 for everything we can find but the characters still show all screwed up.. I have read the manual regarding all the variables and have placed all I can in the my.ini etc. Can someone who has it working post the relevant info from their ini file along with any help for other setting we need to change? It would be GREATLY appreciated. --James -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Error 1406
I have since uninstalled 5.0 and installed 4.0 I have found that 4.1 and 5.0 have a VERY hard time with french characters and there are MANY problems assosiated with french characters. The problem with this one seemed to be when the dump would get put back in, it would throw this error on all the french characters in the dump file. I looked in the file at the spot it was throwing the error and there was a french character, I deleted it from the dump file and it would throw the error at the next one. The server was installed with Utf8 so that is not the issue and the server from before dumped was utf8 as well.

Re: French Characters, Still no answer
Sorry, dont know how I missed: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/187794 The old msql was 4.0 and the new one is 4.1. When we first imported the data the database was in latin1(my mistake) and we put it into production as everything seemed to work fine. We have one site that uses french characters sometimes and they compained 1 week later. By that time it was too late to roll back so now we have this problem. We tried converting the database over to Utf8 but it did not seem to fully work. We can put the french characters in, even from the tomcat server, but when they come back out to the webpage(we have a content management system) they are garbled. One night we did some testing and hooked the tomcat to the old database and everything worked fine with french characters so it has to be the new database. If no one has anymore ideas I think our best route is to dump it, install 4.0 on this server and import it back in. Everything looks ok as far as Utf8 on the tables and such, I feel that we are just missing one key thing that is garbling the characters. Also when we use EMS mysqlmanager to view the data, it is fine, it is only when it comes back to the tomcat server it seems.

You've already got a good answer: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/187794 Subscribe to mysql list or use web interface. Why are you mixing latin1 with utf8 in the same column? You can check if something is wrong with your connection variables using the following statement: show variables like '%char%'; Use mysql command line client or mysql-query-browser (or other client software which correctly handles UTF8 data) to check if import of your data was performed successfully. In such a way you can localize the problem, and find whether it is related to Tomcat or wrong data in MySQL. I am still having trouble with french characters if anyone has ANY ideas, please help. We have installed the newest version of MySql and cannot get it to play nice with French characters. Our older version worked fine.

With that information someone here is more likely to be able to tell you something useful... without that you're not likely to get much of a response.

max_connections
Hello, I have a problem with a database mask I use named torque. I get an error Cannot get connection from pool I beleive it is from the max_connections reaching their limit. I put the line max_connections=200 in the my.cnf file but when I check the show variables of the database through EMS mysqlmanager it says 100. I restarted the server etc. Any ideas as to why the max is not going to 200 in the variables list?

Re: max_connections
This error is thrown in a mask we use called Torque, it does the connection pooling but we have never had a problem with it such as this until now.

Re: max_connections
Yes, we have been looking into that as well, the problem is is that some changes we have made seemed to have helped and it takes 12hours or so for the error to occur, making it a slow process:) James - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; mysql@lists.mysql.com Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 1:55 PM Subject: RE: max_connections I would then gather to say that the limit (hence the error) is being generate by Torque, which does the connection pooling, and has nothing to do directly with max_conn. Is there a config file or something that you can look for in torque? -Original Message- From: James Sherwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 12:51 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: Re: max_connections This error is thrown in a mask we use called Torque, it does the connection pooling but we have never had a problem with it such as this until now.

Re: Cannot complete database transfer
It seems like the database installed fine(it is up and running, but I use a manager from a windows box to manipulate it) but maybe the client messed up on install? If so is there a way to just install the mysql client?

This error indicates that your shell cannot find the mysql file to execute (or that it is not executable for some reason... bad permissions). This can be caused by mysql (client) not being installed or by the client not being on a path that your user can see. more below... Victor Pendleton wrote: Did you install MySQL on the other box?

It is not the mysql client program and mysql mysqld. vi (or whatever your text editor preference may be) the script and look at it. You can find your bin dir somewhere in this file.

Re: Cannot complete database transfer
Yes, there are other databases on that mysql installation. The only thing is, I recently upgraded it to the latest release of mysql.

Starting mysql as a service once installed
Hello, I have installed mysql but did not install it as a service. All I do is runmysqld-max-nt.exe Now I need it to run as a service. It is on a win2003 machine. Can I make it run as a service once I already have it installed. I cannot lose data and do not want to do a mysqldump, uninstall and reinstall as this would bring the server down for too long. Is there a way to make it start running as a service? Thanks in advance James
