RE: Out of memory, but plenty of swap space left
Heikki, Yes, I'm running MySQL on 32-bit Linux. I think maybe something had just gotten corrupted. MySQL restarted itself yesterday, with the following in the error log: 050407 16:24:49 [ERROR] Out of memory; check if mysqld or some other process uses all available memory; if not, you may have to use 'ulimit' to allow mysqld to use more memory or you can add more swap space mysqld got signal 11; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=536870912 read_buffer_size=2093056 max_used_connections=201 max_connections=200 threads_connected=49 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 1342686 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. thd=0x59d064a0 Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died.

Wrong bytesec: 0-0-0 at linkstart: 292251752
I have gotten several of these errors over the last couple of months. This has happened on two different servers. (Both are running MySQL 4.0.16 on Red Hat 7.3) It mainly happens in one particular table, but has happened in another one. I have tried dropping and recreating the table, but that doesn't seem to help. This table has about 75,000 - 100,000 records inserted per day. They are never deleted, but I daily delete records older than 2 weeks. Someone has suggested that it might be bad memory, but since it happens on both servers, and on the same table in each case, it seems like there is something more.

periodic corruption problem
I am running MySQL 4.0.16 on a Red Hat 7.3 server. I am having problems with tables periodically getting corrupted. The one it happens most often on is a table I use for logging various status messages. This table receives mostly inserts, and very few selects. It is about 400MB in size, with about 1.3M rows. I just had it happen to another table, that receives mostly selects, and few inserts or updates. It is only about 60MB in size, with about 95k rows. Both of these tables rarely have deletes. The last time, I believe the error message said something about the index being the wrong size. Sorry I didn't write it down, but I was in a hurry to get things working again.

Change the query to: SELECT parcels.DXF as 'record', building.ADDRESS as 'results1', parcels.relname as 'results2' from parcels INNER JOIN building on parcels.DXF = building.DXF where parcels.relname LIKE '%jones%' order by parcels.relname desc; For tables in the from list, the next word after a table name is considered to be the alias, unless it is a keyword. So, when you had: from parcels building INNER JOIN building as building since building was immediately after parcels, it thought you wanted to use building as an alias for parcels. You then go on to list building, so according to your query you wanted parcels aliased as building, and building also to be called building, so there was a conflict. -Original Message- From: Diver8 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 10:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Unknown table in field list Hi again.

optimizing large InnoDB table
I have a couple of questions here. This table currently contains about 12 million records. This table is mostly read from, but several times thoughout the day there will be inserts or updates of batches of about 30,000 rows, and there are periodic purges of old rows, which could be up to several million rows. The table has 1 index over three of the columns. My questions are: 1. There is one varchar(15) column, that is part of the index. Would there be any performance benefit to making it a char column? 2. Does InnoDB do updates/deletes row by row, even if it is just one query? 3. Will it just update the index once per query, or for each row? 3. Any other advice for speeding up the updates/deletes? - 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?
