Abnormal mySQL service behavior / 5.0.26
Good day, For the past 2 weeks, we have been dealing with some rather strange problems. While nothing changed in terms of the mySQL server or clients configuration ( including the options provided to the server during startup, by either my.cnf or as arguments to the executable ), we are getting the following kind of errors. o Server shutdown in progress o Out of memory (Needed 5256540 bytes) o Sort Aborted o o Can't create a new thread (errno 11); if you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug o Unknown Error ( this occurs more often than the rest ) There is plenty of memory on the system, as much as there was before the problems surfaced. We moved a database from that system, to another system ( that database was the one hit more often ) in hope to perhaps solve the problem. Indeed, the errors are coming up less frequently now, but they still do. Is there any chance this is due to tables corruption or corruption of any other kind on the server side? I didn't see any bug fixes in 0.27+ revisions that seem to be related to this problem, so I assume its not a bug that existed in = 0.26. Any ideas ? Thank you very much in advance.

Re: How thread-safe is mysql_real_connect()?
Greetings, mySQL is thread safe, more or less. Make sure you compile against libmysqlclient_r (or simply ignore/handle SIGPIPE ).

According to the page in question the function mysql_real_connect() is not thread-safe. Does that simply mean that I cannot call that function from more than one thread at a time or does that mean that the connection created by one call to the function will be visible to the other threads or what? Just how not thread-safe is it? Each thread will have it's own MYSQL structure and I will need to use two different connections per thread at the same time (am I going to need a separate call to mysql_init() for each connection?). I know how to wrap all of my calls to mysql_real_connect() in a critical section or protect them with a mutex if that's all I need to do . If it's not that simple and I do need to compile and link against another library (as the page suggests - sort of) can someone help me to configure my Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (v7) to do it? I said sort-of because the page also says that the binary distributions (which I am working with ) already contain the threadsafe library so I wonder if I need to rebuild anything or not.

Re: Some Assistance Please
Greetings Rob, What is the optimum way to structure the database to allow for the simplest user search? Is it more efficient to store images and large documents in their respective format on disc and the URL in the database or as blob objects? Most of the times, especially for read-only data(=images), going for the file-system is the right thing to do. Just make sure you don't put them all in a single directory ; employ a simple hash mechanism for deciding where to store them ( many files in a directory = performance problem with most FS flavor ) A requirement is that searches will be entered in many languages including all European, Asian and middle-eastern languages and scripts. This may also be mixed languages where manufacturer name may be in the middle of say Japanese script. Further, my clients expect the site to grow over a period of three years from 4 initial languages to around 50 and service many more countries. I have defined so far a range of categories and sub categories, types, manufacturers etc. I also intend to carry advertiser data, country, language and images. Included may also be uploaded documents being detailed specifications of vehicles in PDF and other formats although they may be outside the search criteria (???) My knowledge of applying single field search (ala Google) to multiple tables is decidedly limited and I don't want to find myself in deep water due to lack of specific knowledge. There are many things to consider here. Do you need additions and updates to be instantly indexed / searchable? Is it going to be keywords only ? What about advanced options ? Those are just some of the parameters that would come into play. Personally, I wouldn't use mySQL's LIKE or regular expression matching, nor it fulltext indices. I wouldn't even use mySQL for search at all. Still, you should try both ways ( and others, such as breaking down your text into words and mapping those words into objects -- I am sorry if that sounds confusing ) and see what works for you.

Re: Social Networking querys
We have implemented a system which uses 'swappable' in-memory data, binary trees and hashtables to do things like: o Return 'best' possible route from one person to another based on weight of relationships between links o Return 'shortest' possible route from one person to another o Return total persons within N degrees of seperation and so forth. The in-memory data are flushed when memory is tight or when they get too old, and get replaced with more data from InnoDB tables. Essentially, it is quite rate to need to swap or load db data.given that the data structures are not heavy in memory requirements. Its writen in C++. Our tests with 10 million users (random set) indicated less than 1 second response time for any of the above operations (when no mem-disk swaps take place ).

Re: The better and more efficient way to store datetime data.
Hello, If you aim for for absolute control over the storage (the fileystem nature is the limit), and speed, do not use an SQL system. Of course, you would have to face all the trouble of writing your own mini-engine/subsystem for the job. It all comes down to what your needs are and how much time you can spend on it. If you want to use SQL, but do not wish to get down to milisecond level, use a simple INT UNSIGNED, in conjuction with either UNIX_TIMESTAMP or your favorite time() call equivalent in your language. Thats 4 bytes. Mark On Wed, 24 Nov 2004 14:53:08 +0100, Jose Antonio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need to store huge data series using MySQL with InnoDB as storage engine.

mySQL Clustering and HA (NDB - Emic Networks Solution - Replication) : Enterpise Use
Hello all, After playing with the idea of 'abandoning ship' in favor of IBM DB2 or Oracle, we deiced to stick with mySQL, due its simplicity and investment in time and experience we have put into it. Our company needs a HA solution for ensuring 24x7 operation for the mySQL server instances. As it is, there are are two solutions available for the problem: Emic Networks's EAC for mySQL and MySQL's Cluster. The Emic solution seems to work but is way too expensive for our budget (around 4k$ for each 2CPUs node). So we need to either go with NDB or try to get replication to work properly. Here is a list of questions: o How 'stable' is MySQL cluster (NDB) ? Is it ready for enterprise use? Or even tested? o Does the memory size limit the data we can manage? If it is a memory based solution it should mean that it can handle of a very limited number of databases/tables/rows, based on the available memory of the nodes. o Is there some sort of tight integration planned for mySQL cluster and mySQL server ? Perhaps in 5.0 ? o When is adding/removing nodes on the fly scheduled for implementation? Without such a feature the system would have to be shutdown - therefore not a complete HA solution. o Has anyone gotten replication to work right? Perhaps Multi-Master replication?

Corrupted tables -- for 'no apparent' reason
Hello, We are using mySQL on over 6 servers here, we have been doing so for over 2 years, and we are constaly facing problems with corrupted tables, especially on two of our busiest servers. Tables seem to corrupt out of the blue and we have to shut them down ( the servers ) occassionaly to fix all tables and then bring them up again. This is really not something we want to do, bringing down a server that is, so we were wondering if we are doing something wrong. There must be other users of mySQL using it for far most difficult tasks who maybe faced the same problems once but managed to solve them. We are using mySQL 3.23.41. Tables corruptions occur regardless the server's configuration ( even on a system with PIII@1MhzX2 with 1.5G RAM we get those problems ) so maybe there is something wrong with the startup options we are using for mySQLd. This is how we start mySQLd. --skip-locking -O back_log=1024 -O table_cache=280 -O max_connections=2048 -O wait_timeout=30 -O interactive_timeout=30 -O long_query_time=2 --log-slow-queries=slow.log --big-tables Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thank you in advance, Mark Papadakis - 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?
