MySQL 5.0.6-beta has been released
fail loading dump files containing certain `\'-sequences. (Bug #9756) * Fixed a failure to resolve a column reference properly when an outer join involving a view contained a subquery and the column was used in the subquery and the outer query. (Bug #6106, Bug #6107) * Use of a subquery that used `WITH ROLLUP' in the `FROM' clause of the main query sometimes resulted in a `Column cannot be null' error. (Bug #9681) * Fixed a memory leak that occurred when selecting from a view that contained a subquery. (Bug #10107) * Fixed an optimizer bug in computing the union of two ranges for the `OR' operator. (Bug #9348) * Fixed a segmentation fault in `mysqlcheck' that occurred when the last table checked in `--auto-repair' mode returned an error (such as the table being a `MERGE' table). (Bug #9492) * `SET @var= CAST(NULL AS [INTEGER|CHAR])' now sets the result type of the variable to `INTEGER'/`CHAR'. (Bug #6598) * Incorrect results were returned for queries of the form `SELECT ... LEFT JOIN ... WHERE EXISTS (SUBQUERY)', where the subquery selected rows based on an `IS NULL' condition. (Bug #9516) * Executing `LOCK TABLES' and then calling a stored procedure caused an error and resulting in the server thinking that no stored procedures exist. (Bug #9566) * Selecting from a view containing a subquery caused the server to hang. (Bug #8490) * Within a stored procedure, attempting to execute a multiple-table `UPDATE' failed with a `Table 'TBL_NAME' was locked with a READ lock and can't be updated' error. (Bug #9486) * Starting `mysqld' with the `--skip-innodb' and `--default-storage-engine=innodb' (or `--default-table-type=innodb' caused a server crash. (Bug #9815) * Queries containing `CURRENT_USER()' incorrectly were registered in the query cache. (Bug #9796) * Setting the `storage_engine' system variable to `MEMORY' succeeded, but retrieving the variable resulted in a value of `HEAP' (the old name for the `MEMORY' storage engine) rather than `MEMORY'. (Bug #10039) * `mysqlshow' displayed an incorrect row count for tables. (Bug #9391) * The server died with signal 11 if a non-existent location was specified for the location of the binary log. Now the server exits after printing an appropriate error messsage. (Bug #9542) * Fixed a problem in the client/server protocol where the server closed the connection before sending the final error message. The problem could show up as a `Lost connection to MySQL server during query' when attempting to connect to access a non-existent database. (Bug #6387, Bug #9455) * Fixed a `readline'-related crash in `mysql' when the user pressed Control-R. (Bug #9568) * For stored functions that should return a `YEAR' value, corrected a failure of the value to be in `YEAR' format. (Bug #8861) * Fixed a server crash resulting from invocation of a stored function that returned a value having an `ENUM' or `SET' data type. (Bug #9775) * Fixed a server crash resulting from invocation of a stored function that returned a value having a `BLOB' data type. (Bug #9102) * Fixed a server crash resulting from invocation of a stored function that returned a value having a `BIT' data type. (Bug #7648) * `TIMEDIFF()' with a negative time first argument and postive time second argument produced incorrect results. (Bug #8068) * Fixed a problem with `OPTIMIZE TABLE' for `InnoDB' tables being written twice to the binary log. (Bug #9149) * `InnoDB': Prevent `ALTER TABLE' from changing the storage engine if there are foreign key constraints on the table. (Bug #5574, Bug #5670) * `InnoDB': Fixed a bug where next-key locking doesn't allow the insert which does not produce a phantom. (Bug #9354) If the range is of type `'a' <= uniquecolumn', `InnoDB' lock only the RECORD, if the record with the column value `'a'' exists in a CLUSTERED index. This allows inserts before a range. * `InnoDB': When `FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0', `ALTER TABLE' and `RENAME TABLE' will ignore any type incompatibilities between referencing and referenced columns. Thus, it will be possible to convert the character sets of columns that participate in a foreign key. Be sure to convert all tables before modifying any data! (Bug #9802) * Provide more informative error messages in clustered setting when a query is issued against a table that has been modified by another `mysqld' server. (Bug #6762) Enjoy!

MySQL 4.1.12 has been released
ENAME TABLE for an ARCHIVE table failed if the `.arn' file was not present. (Bug #9911) * Fixed an optimizer problem where extraneous comparisons between NULL values in indexed columns were being done for operators such as = that are never true for NULL. (Bug #8877) * SELECT ROUND(expr) produced a different result than CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ROUND(expr). (Bug #9837) * Fixed some awk scriptportabilityproblems in cmd-line-utils/libedit/makelist.sh. (Bug #9954) * Changed metadata for result of SHOW KEYS: Data type for Sub_part column now is SMALLINT rather than TINYINT because key part length can be longer than 255. (Bug #9439) * Fixed some problems with myisampack on 64-bit systems that resulted in segmentation violations. (Bug #9487) * Fixed an optimizer bug in computing the union of two ranges for the OR operator. (Bug #9348) * Fixed an index corruption problem for MyISAM tables that resulted from the 4.1 behavior of padding values with blanks for comparison: Dumping a table with mysqldump, reloading it, and then re-running the binary log against it crashed the index and necessitated a repair. (Bug #9188) * Fixed a segmentation fault in mysqlcheck that occurred when the last table checked in --auto-repair mode returned an error (such as the table being a MERGE table). (Bug #9492) * Fixed the client/server protocol for prepared statements so that reconnection works properly when the connection is killed while reconnect is enabled. (Bug #8866) * INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE incorrectly updated a TIMESTAMP column to the current timestamp, even if the update list included col_name = col_name for that column to prevent the update. (Bug #7806) * Starting mysqld with the --skip-innodb and --default-storage-engine=innodb (or --default-table-type=innodb caused a server crash. (Bug #9815) * Queries containing CURRENT_USER() incorrectly were registered in the query cache. (Bug #9796) * A server installed as a Windows service and started with --shared-memory could not be stopped. (Bug #9665) * mysqldump dumped core when invoked with --tmp and --single-transaction options and a non-existent table name. (Bug #9175) * Additional fix for mysql_server_init() and mysql_server_end() C API functions so that stopping and restarting the embedded server will not cause a crash. (Bug #7344) * mysql.server no longer uses non-portable alias command or LSB functions. (Bug #9852) * Fixed a readline-related crash in mysql when the user pressed Control-R. (Bug #9568) * TIMEDIFF() with a negative time first argument and postive time second argument produced incorrect results. (Bug #8068) * Fixed a bug that caused concurrent inserts to be allowed into the tables in the SELECT ... UNION ... part of INSERT ... SELECT ... UNION This could result in the incorrect order of queries in the binary log. (Bug #9922) * Warning message from GROUP_CONCAT() did not always indicate correct number of lines. (Bug #8681) * InnoDB: ENUM and SET columns were treated incorrectly as character strings. This bug did not manifest itself with latin1 collations, but it caused malfunction with utf8. Old tables will continue to work. In new tables, ENUM and SET will be internally stored as unsigned integers. (Bug #9526) * InnoDB: Avoid test suite failures caused by a locking conflict between two server instances at server shutdown/startup. This conflict on advisory locks appears to be the result of a bug in the operating system; these locks should be released when the files are closed, but somehow that does not always happen immediately in Linux. (Bug #9381) * InnoDB: Prevent ALTER TABLE from changing the storage engine if there are foreign key constraints on the table. (Bug #5574, Bug #5670) * InnoDB: Fixed a deadlock without any locking, simple select and update. (Bug #7975) InnoDB now takes an exclusive lock when INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is checking duplicate keys. * Creating a table did not work for a cluster with 6 nodes. (Bug #8928) Databases with 1, 2, 4, 8, ... (2^n nodes) did not have the problem. After a rolling upgrade, restart each node manually by restarting it with the --initial option. Otherwise, use dump and restore after an upgrade. * Fix undersized array in my_print_defaults that caused crash on Sun Solaris (and maybe strange results on other platforms). (Bug #9136) * Fix for auto-increment not working with INSERT..SELECT and NDB storage engine. (Bug #9675) En

treated the same by the utf8_general_ci collation. (Bug #8385) * The MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR resource limit was not being reset hourly and thus imposed an absolute limit on number of connections per account until the server is restarted or the limits flushed. (Bug #8350) * With a database was dropped with lower_case_table_names=2, tables in the database also were dropped but not being flushed properly from the table cache. If the database was recreated, the tables also would appear to have been recreated. (Bug #8355) * Changed mysql_server_end() C API function to restore more variables to their initial state so that a subsequent call to mysql_server_init() would not cause a client program crash. (Bug #7344) * Fixed a problem with accented letters improperly being treated as distinct with the utf_general_ci collation. (Bug #7878) * ENUM and SET columns in privilege tables incorrectly had a case-sensitive collation, resulting in failure of assignments of values that did not have the same lettercase as given in the column definitions. The collation was changed to be case insensitive. (Bug #7617) * An expression that tested a case-insensitive character column against string constants that differed in lettercase could fail because the constants were treated as having a binary collation. (For example, WHERE city='London' AND city='london' could fail.) (Bug #7098, Bug #8690) * The output of the STATUS (\s) command in mysql had the values for the server and client character sets reversed. (Bug #7571) * If the slave was running with --replicate-*-table options which excluded one temporary table and included another, and the two tables were used in a single DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS statement, as the ones the master automatically writes to its binary log upon client's disconnection when client has not explicitly dropped these, the slave could forget to delete the included replicated temporary table. Only the slave needs to be upgraded. (Bug #8055) * Treat user variables as having IMPLICIT derivation (coercibility) to avoid ``Illegal mix of collations'' errors when replicating user variables. (Bug #6676) * When setting integer system variables to a negative value with SET VARIABLES, the value was treated as a positive value modulo 2^32. (Bug #6958) * Fixed a bug in bundled readline library that caused segmentation fault in mysql when user entered Shift+Enter. (Bug #5672) * Fix conversion of strings -> double to get higher accuracy for floating point values that are integers, like: 123.45E+02 (Bug #7840). * Fixed a bug in MATCH ... AGAINST in natural language mode that could cause a server crash if the FULLTEXT index was not used in a join (EXPLAIN did not show fulltext join mode) and the search query matched no rows in the table (Bug #8522). * Platform and architecture information in version information produced for --version option on Windows was always Win95/Win98 (i32). More accurately determine platform as Win32 or Win64 for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows, and architecture as ia32 for x86, ia64 for Itanium, and axp for Alpha. (Bug #4445) * Fixed a rare race condition which could lead to FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK hanging. (Bug #8682) * Fixed a bug that caused the slave to stop on statements that produced an error on the master. (Bug #8412) * If multiple semicolon-separated statements were received in a single packet, they were written to the binary log as a single event rather than as separate per-statement events. For a server serving as a replication master, this caused replication to fail when the event was sent to slave servers. (Bug #8436) Enjoy!

MySQL 5.0.3-beta has been released
read was stopped and started. (Bug #6148) * Giving mysqld a SIGHUP caused it to crash. * Changed semantics of CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statements so that replication of CREATE DATABASE is possible when using --binlog-do-db and --binlog-ignore-db. (Bug #6391) * A sequence of BEGIN (or SET AUTOCOMMIT=0), FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, transactional update, COMMIT, FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK could hang the connection forever and possibly the MySQL server itself. This happened for example when running the innobackup script several times. (Bug #6732) * mysqlbinlog did not print SET PSEUDO_THREAD_ID statements in front of LOAD DATA INFILE statements inserting into temporary tables, thus causing potential problems when rolling forward these statements after restoring a backup. (Bug #6671) * InnoDB: Fixed a bug no error message for ALTER with InnoDB and AUTO_INCREMENT(Bug #7061). InnoDB now supports ALTER TABLE...AUTO_INCREMENT = x query to set auto increment value for a table. * Made the MySQL server accept executing SHOW CREATE DATABASE even if the connection has an open transaction or locked tables; refusing it made mysqldump --single-transaction sometimes fail to print a complete CREATE DATABASE statement for some dumped databases. (Bug #7358) * Fixed that, when encountering a ``disk full'' or ``quota exceeded'' write error, MyISAM sometimes didn't sleep and retry the write, thus resulting in a corrupted table. (Bug #7714) * Fixed that --expire-log-days was not honored if using only transactions. (Bug #7236) * Fixed that a slave could crash after replicating many ANALYZE TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, or REPAIR TABLE statements from the master. (Bug #6461, Bug #7658) * mysqlbinlog forgot to add backquotes around the collation of user variables (causing later parsing problems as BINARY is a reserved word). (Bug #7793) * Ensured that mysqldump --single-transaction sets its transaction isolation level to REPEATABLE READ before proceeding (otherwise if the MySQL server was configured to run with a default isolation level lower than REPEATABLE READ it could give an inconsistent dump). (Bug #7850) * Fixed that when using the RPAD() function (or any function adding spaces to the right) in a query that had to be resolved by using a temporary table, all resulting strings had rightmost spaces removed (i.e. RPAD() did not work) (Bug #4048) * Fixed that a 5.0.3 slave can connect to a master < 3.23.50 without hanging (the reason for the hang is a bug in these quite old masters -- SELECT @@unknown_var hangs them -- which was fixed in MySQL 3.23.50). (Bug #7965) * InnoDB: Fixed a deadlock without any locking, simple select and update (Bug #7975). InnoDB now takes an exclusive lock when INSERT ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is checking duplicate keys. * Fixed a bug where MySQL was allowing concurrent updates (inserts, deletes) to a table if binary logging is enabled. Changed to ensure that all updates are executed in a serialized fashion, because they are executed serialized when binlog is replayed. (Bug #7879) * Fixed a rare race condition which could lead to FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK hanging. (Bug #8682) * Fixed a bug that caused the slave to stop on statements that produced an error on the master. (Bug #8412) Enjoy!

atetime values to TIME or DATE values. (Bug #6914) * Include compression library flags in the output from mysql_config --lib_r. (Bug #7021) * Corrected a problem with mysql_config not producing all relevant flags from CFLAGS. (Bug #6964) * Corrected a problem with mysqld_safe not properly capturing output from ps. (Bug #5878) * Fixed a bug that caused a linking failure when linking both the MySQL client library and IMAP library. (Bug #7428) * Fixed a bug that caused microseconds to be gobbled from the string result of the STR_TO_DATE function, if there is some other specifier in the format string following %f. (Bugs #7458) * Made the MySQL server accept executing SHOW CREATE DATABASE even if the connection has an open transaction or locked tables. Refusing it made mysqldump --single-transaction sometimes fail to print a complete CREATE DATABASE statement for some dumped databases. (Bug #7358) * Fixed that, when encountering a ``disk full'' or ``quota exceeded'' write error, MyISAM sometimes didn't sleep and retry the write, thus resulting in a corrupted table.

(Bug #7236) * Fixed that a slave could crash after replicating many ANALYZE TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, or REPAIR TABLE statements from the master. (Bug #6461, Bug #7658) * ndb_restore fails to handle blobs and multiple databases (Bug #7379) * ndb_restore enters infinite loop (Bug #7346) * ndb_mgmd is aborted on startup when using SHM connection (Bug #7124) Enjoy!

MySQL 5.0.2-alpha has been released
or message (warning only) if a VIEW without presence of a key in the underlying table is used in queries with a LIMIT clause for updating. (This is the default value.) + 0 or NO: Prohibit update of a VIEW, which does not contain a key in the underlying table and the query uses a LIMIT clause (usually found in GUI tools). * Reverted output format of SHOW TABLES to old pre-5.0.1 format that did not include a table type column. To get the additional column that lists the table type, use SHOW FULL TABLES now. * The mysql_fix_privilege_tables script now initializes the global CREATE VIEW and SHOW VIEW privileges in the user table to the value of the CREATE privilege in that table. * If the server finds that the user table has not been upgraded to include the view-related privilege columns, it treats each account as having view privileges that are the same as its CREATE privilege. * CHECK TABLE now works with VIEWs (i.e. check view integrity: all underlying tables and columns are present and so on) * Added merge algorithm for join VIEW (view consists of several tables) and UPDATE/INSERT support for one of underlying tables in such VIEWs. Bugs fixed: * Fixed that mysqlbinlog --read-from-remote-server sometimes couldn't accept two binary logfiles on the command line. (Bug #4507) * Fixed that mysqlbinlog --position --read-from-remote-server had incorrect # at lines. (Bug #4506) * Fixed that CREATE TABLE ... TYPE=HEAP ... AS SELECT... caused replication slave to stop. (Bug #4971) * Fixed that mysql_options(...,MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE,...) failed to disable LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE. (Bug #5038) * Fixed that disable-local-infile option had no effect if client read it from a configuration file using mysql_options(...,MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT,...). (Bug #5073) * Fixed that SET GLOBAL SYNC_BINLOG did not work on some platforms (Mac OS X). (Bug #5064) * Fixed that mysql-test-run failed on the rpl_trunc_binlog test if running test from the installed (the target of 'make install') directory. (Bug #5050) * Fixed that mysql-test-run failed on the grant_cache test when run as Unix user 'root'. (Bug #4678) * Fixed an unlikely deadlock which could happen when using KILL. (Bug #4810) * Fixed a crash when one connection got KILLed while it was doing START SLAVE. (Bug #4827) * Made FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK block COMMIT if server is running with binary logging; this ensures that the binary log position can be trusted when doing a full backup of tables and the binary log. (Bug #4953) * Fixed that the counter of an auto_increment column was not reset by TRUNCATE TABLE is the table was a temporary one. (Bug #5033) * Fixed slave SQL thread so that the SET COLLATION_SERVER... statements it replicates don't advance its position (so that if it gets interrupted before the actual update query, it will later redo the SET). (Bug #5705) * Fixed that if the slave SQL thread found a syntax error in a query (which should be rare, as the master parsed it successfully), it stops. (Bug #5711) * Fixed that if a write to a MyISAM table fails because of a full disk or an exceeded disk quota, it prints a message to the error log every 10 minutes, and waits until disk becomes free. (Bug #3248) * Fixed problem introduced in 4.0.21 where a connection starting a transaction, doing updates, then FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, then COMMIT, would cause replication slaves to stop (complaining about error 1223). Bug surfaced when using the InnoDB innobackup script. (Bug #5949) * OPTIMIZE TABLE, REPAIR TABLE, and ANALYZE TABLE are now replicated without any error code in the binary log. (Bug #5551) Enjoy!

MySQL 4.1.7 has been released
Hi, MySQL 4.1.7, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software Database Management System has been released. It is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up-to-date at this point. If you cannot find this version on a particular mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. This is the first 4.1 production release. Please refer to our bugs database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more details about the individual bugs fixed in this version. News from the ChangeLog: Changes in release 4.1.7 Functionality added or changed: * InnoDB: Made LOCK TABLES behave by default like it did before MySQL 4.0.20 or 4.1.2: no InnoDB lock will be taken. Added a startup option and settable system variable innodb_table_locks for making LOCK TABLE acquire also InnoDB locks. See section "Restrictions on InnoDB Tables" in the manual. (Bug #3299, Bug #5998) Bugs fixed: * Fixed a bug with FOUND_ROWS() used together with LIMIT clause in prepared statements. (Bug #6088) * Fixed a bug with NATURAL JOIN in prepared statements. (Bug #6046). * Fixed a bug in join of tables from different databases having columns with identical names (prepared statements). (Bug #6050) * Now implicit access to system time zone description tables (which happens when you set time_zone variable or use CONVERT_TZ() function) does not require any privileges. (Bug #6116) * Fixed a bug which caused the server to crash when the deprecated libmysqlclient function mysql_create_db() was called. (Bug #6081) * Fixed REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM user so that all privileges are revoked correctly. (Bug #5831). This corrects a case that the fix in 4.1.6 could miss. * Fixed a bug that could cause MyISAM index corruption when key values start with character codes below BLANK. This was caused by the new key sort order in 4.1. (Bug #6151) * Fixed a bug in the prepared statements protocol when wrong metadata was sent for SELECT statements not returning a result set (such as SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE). (Bug #6059) * Fixed bug which allowed one to circumvent missing UPDATE privilege if one had INSERT and SELECT privileges for table with primary key. (Bug #6173) * Fixed a bug in libmysqlclient with wrong conversion of negative time values to strings. (Bug #6049). * Fixed a bug in libmysqlclient with wrong conversion of zero date values (-00-00) to strings. (Bug #6058) * Fixed a bug that caused the server to crash on attempt to prepare a statement with RAND(?). (Bug #5985) * Fixed a bug with handling of DATE, TIME, and DATETIME columns in the binary protocol. The problem is compiler-specific and could have been observed on HP-UX, AIX, Solaris9, when compiling with native compiler. (Bug #6025) * Fixed a bug with handling of TINYINT columns in the binary protocol. The problem is specific to platforms where the C compiler has the char data type unsigned by default. (Bug #6024) * Fixed problem introduced in MySQL 4.0.21 where a connection starting a transaction, doing updates, then FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, then COMMIT, would cause replication slaves to stop complaining about error 1223. Bug surfaced when using the InnoDB innobackup script. (Bug #5949) Enjoy!

MySQL 4.0.21 has been released
#x27;, and `innodb_validate' in `CREATE TABLE' and `DROP TABLE' statements was accidentally removed in MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.19. The diagnostic functions attached to these special table names (*note InnoDB Monitor::) are accessible again in MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.21. * When the private SQL parser of InnoDB was modified in MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.19 in order to allow the use of the apostrophe (`'') in table and column names, the fix relied on a previously unused function `mem_realloc()', whose implementation was incorrect. As a result, InnoDB can incorrectly parse column and table names as the empty string. The InnoDB `realloc()' implementation has been corrected in MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.21. * Fixed a glitch introduced in 4.0.18 and 4.1.2: in `SHOW TABLE STATUS' InnoDB systematically overestimated the row count by 1 if the table fit on a single 16 kB data page. * InnoDB created temporary files with the C library function `tmpfile()'. On Windows, the files would be created in the root directory of the current file system. To correct this behavior, the invocations of `tmpfile()' were replaced with code that uses the function `create_temp_file()' in the MySQL portability layer. (Bug #3998) Enjoy!

James, Well 'wrapper' and 'pseudo XML front end' are kind of nebulous terms and phrases. :) But yeah basically. Functionality can be added to the MySQL client library (libmysqlclient) -- which is the library that holds all the C API functions and whatnot. It is the library that your PHP, Perl DBI, Java MySQL drivers link against in order to be able to talk to the MySQL server. http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/_/C_API_function_overview.html So for instance, for XML retrieval of your results it would be quite trival to add additional API calls to libmysqlclient that return XML to your application. However, loading an XML file into your MySQL server (via the C API) would be a more difficult and tricky task. DTDs would have to be defined, some software would have to manage these DTDs so that the data in the XML file could be correctly mapped into your database schema, etc etc. You can't just load any old XML file and expect MySQL to know how to deal with it. There would have to be a DTD (the file that defines the format of your XML file) submitted with the XML file so that things could be interpretted correctly. This means that this would involve an SGML parser (such as nsgmls) and some way to validate the XML file (I think nsgmls can do this), etc etc. This brings us to the point where if all of this was added to libmysqlclient, we would start running into bloatware issues there also. That's why I suggested that probably an external process (a daemon) that provides a "bridge" (as Rob ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) suggested earlier in this thread) would be better suited to *inputting* XML into MySQL. Output is easy. Input is more difficult. :) As you may be aware we are currently working diligently to add big functionality to MySQL (sub-selects, store procedures, failsafe replication, etc). That makes something like this XML stuff better suited for sponsorship. I'm not saying that with sponsorship, this XML stuff can pre-empt the development of the above features. But instead, sponsorship would allow us to hire another developer or two to develop this proposed XML functionality. It allows us to develop features that are in demand in parallel with our other priorities. Again, if anyone is interested in this sponsorship, please contact <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Jeremy, Correct, currently only the 'mysql' (-X option in MySQL 4.x) and 'mysqldump' (-X option in MySQL 3.23) client programs can return XML output. We believe that this sort of functionality belongs in the client programs and libraries. So that means for direct server XML interaction support would have to be added to the libmysqlclient library. Not bloat the 'mysqld' code. Of course inputting XML to a MySQL database is quite a different and more difficult task. It would require a lot more monkey business of some piece of software knowing how to map the XML schema into the DB schema. This is one of those fluffy features that is not traditionally in the RDBMS project scope -- and therefore lends itself to be a prime project for corporate sponsorship. Potential sponsors reading this should contact our sales team ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) if interested in helping.

Ireneusz, Our (MySQL AB) recommendation is to NOT compile *mysql* with RedHat's 2.96 compiler. Instead, in the case of RedHat, you should use 2.91 EGCS or 2.95 GCC compilers. If you do choose to compile with 2.96RH, then you are most likely going to run into problems in a production system. We definitely have a difference of opinion with Trond here. The bottom line is that if you want a stable MySQL server, then you should compile with GCC 2.91 or 2.95. These are the compilers for which our extensive testing has shown MySQL to be stable with. In any large and complicated project there are going to be dependencies on the compiler that the software was written for. Please note that the reason (atleast one of the reasons) RedHat includes 2.91 EGCS in their distribution is to compile the Linux kernel correctly. The Linux kernel -- another large and complicated project -- requires 2.91 EGCS. Read the kernel documentation for more information (README file included in every stock kernel tarball). This is absolutely normal and acceptable for large, complex softwares. Software simply cannot be changed everytime a software vendor (RH in this case) decides to fork their own version of something as fundamental as a compiler. MySQL in particular is a software product that gives your system a real work-out. We have discovered many critical bugs in the libc's, kernels and compilers of various systems -- for instance Glibc, the Linux kernel, and RedHat's forked 2.96 compiler. You will find the same is true of projects like ReiserFS (who do not recommend 2.96 either). While RedHat's 2.96 compiler may indeed work fine for relatively lightweight software that is most likely not going to be used in a high-performance production environment. We (MySQL AB) have determined -- through many investigations of MySQL under high-load compiled with 2.96RH -- that this compiler is not good for MySQL. Now that GCC 3.x has been released, we will be looking at making MySQL 4.x series (and higher) work well with it. GCC 3.x is looking very promising.

What you have to do is have two fields, 'passwd' and 'epasswd', with 'passwd' being clear-text, the other being encrypted (with PASSWORD() or other). If you want to obscure the clear-text field in a decodable fashion, then check out the ENCODE()/DECODE() functions. Note, in MySQL 4.x there will be two new functions, DES_ENCRYPT()/DES_DECRYPT().

Martin, Nobody has tried this as far as I know. However, the reason that 3.23.x is considered stable is because there are no new features being added -- only bug fixes. Any time you add new feature -- even if the code for the new feature is stable -- you risk creating bugs in other places. So if you managed to make a back-port, you would probably make the 3.23.x code as unstable as 4.x. :) Feel free to try it! But I think it is self-defeating -- if you are considering it for a production environment. :) My advice is to setup a test environment and try out 4.x, and submit good bug reports to us so that 4.x can become stable faster.

Hi, It would be nice if someone could detail more specifically what XML features these commercial databases provide; and to what extent they are actually useful and necessary in the RDBMS context. The generally feeling about XML and MySQL right now, is that it doesn't belong in the server. It is considered bloatware, and goes counter to the aim of MySQL to be lean 'n mean. :) At most there could be some additions to the MySQL Client library to help with XML transformations and whatnot. In 4.0 I have already added XML output to the 'mysql' command-line tool ('-X' option) to equate to the current HTML output functionality. I will also try to add XML output functionality to the 'mysqldump' utility in 4.0. Although this may have to wait until 4.1. On my long-range TODO I would like to contact people like Matt Sergeant (of Perl XML/AxKit fame) to see what features we could add to the MySQL server to assist his efforts.

Re: MySQL Documentation - how do you do it ?

The primary format of the manual is Texinfo. Most of us write the texinfo in XEmacs with the aid of the 'Texinfo' xemacs mode (of course some less fortunate developers use the lowly 'vi' ;-). You can find out more about Texinfo here: http://www.gnu.org/directory/texinfo.html So we have the manual in this format, and then when we publish the MySQL.com website, we convert the manual to HTML with a perl script called 'texi2html'. You can find this script in our Source Tarball: mysql-3.23.41/Docs/Support/texi2html But to get the searchable manual that you know and love, there are a few more steps. We use a couple of in-house programs written by Sasha Pachev ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), that take this converted 'manual.html', and rip it apart and store it into a MySQL database. The manual is stored in the database according to texinfo node sections. Once the manual is in the database, we can pretty much reconstitute it into any organization that we want. For instance, this page: http://www.mysql.com/doc/ Never use to be such an extensive "Table of Contents", it used to only contain the main chapter headings. But after some reconsideration, we decided that it would be more useful to have a very extensive TOC similiar to this one: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/ Anyways, so we have a second program (the first one is called 'html2mysql', the second 'idxman'), that does this reconstitution that you see at http://www.mysql.com/doc/ . 'idxman' also does all kinds of black magic to hook-up the user comments with the appropriate manual section. I'm sure if you contact Mr. :) Sasha Pachev ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), he could explain in more detail how both of his programs work. You could probably also prod him into giving you copies, as he's been meaning to release them publicly for some time now.

I'll give you the answer for a papajohns.com pizza. ;-) Anyways, looks like Jeremy and Sasha were discussing the optimization of `OR' in your query on our internal IRC network last night. Looking at the IRC log, Sasha recommended that you should use: "... keyword IN('Big', 'Brown') group by ..." instead of the OR statement. This helps MySQL to decide to use the index on 'keyword'. Then Sasha talked with Monty about it, and asked about the optimization of OR in a query. Monty said that the only time OR is not optimized is if the OR happens on a different key or a non-key. So this kind of adds to the confusion. :) Can you try the "keyword IN()" as I mentioned above. If this doesn't work, can you tell us the specifics of your setup -- MySQL version, OS, etc (mysqlbug stuff). Actually mysqlbug output would probably be desired, as this *may* be a bug in the optimizer.

We have seen this problem (although I have not personally investigated) with many RH7+default_mysql. The quick and easy solution (until I figure out further) is to download the MySQL RPMs from: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html Uninstall the standard RedHat 7.0 MySQL RPMs, then reinstall ours. Like I said, I'm not sure what RedHat is doing wrong with their MySQL RPMs... But I have seen this numerous times with regard to their supplied RPMs. Something is amiss. I will investigate more.

But I noticed that it only > works with some kind of delimited file. Is there any way to load a > fixed width file??? Hi! Unfortunately this is not possible with just LOAD DATA INFILE or `mysqlimport'. :( You will have to write some small program that parses your file into some delimited form. For instance here is a simple one in Perl: mwagner@evoq ~-> cat datafile aabb ccdd eeff gghh 1234 mwagner@evoq ~-> cat deli_parse.pl #!/usr/bin/perl while (<>) { m/^(.{2})(.{2})$/; print "$1,$2\n"; } mwagner@evoq ~-> cat datafile | perl ./deli_parse.pl aa,bb cc,dd ee,ff gg,hh 12,34 Hopefully you can figure out how to adjust the perl regular expression "m/^(.{2})(.{2})$/;" to suit your needs. Each "(.{2})" unit in the expression matches one chunk of data 2 characters long, and stores the trapped data in the variable $1. Adjust the '2' and add more trapping units to fit your data file. After you have this file delimited, then it should be trivial to load it into MySQL using either the LOAD DATA INFILE syntax or the `mysqlimport' utility.

Re: can i buil mysql database in win98

Although, technically, the database will reside with the server installation on the NT machine. :) You just need the *client* program(s) on your win98 box. http://www.mysql.com/doc/m/y/mysql.html Because we don't distribute a "clients only" package for the win32 platform, you will have to install MySQL on both your win98 and NT systems. You just won't be using the MySQL server binary that is installed on the win98 system. If you don't want to do that, you could just install MyODBC on your win98 box, and connect to MySQL running on your NT box thru ODBC -- using your choice of ODBC compliant programs (access?). http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-myodbc.html Regards, Matt -- __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Matt Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, http://www.mysql.com/ /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ River Falls, Wisconsin, USA <___/ Developer - 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?

Did you actually use the "GRANT" statement to add these privileges? If not -- if you just did an INSERT/UPDATE -- then you need to issue a "FLUSH PRIVILEGES" or "mysqladmin -u root -p reload". If you *did* use a GRANT statement, then reloading of the privilege tables is automatic. http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/r/Privilege_changes.html > While logged in locally at the box I tried doing a telnet localhost 3306 and > got a refused connection, but when I tried telnet 3306 I get a few > garbage characters (this is from the box that will do the logging to > itself).

Nothing that MySQL is doing (at the level of making a TCP/IP connection) would result in this kind of behavior (localhost refused; remote allowed).

Thanks in advance. Hi! Restart your mysqld with '--skip-grant-tables', you will not need a password, nor will you need to be on the bogus host "any". :) Once in, correct the problem, and then restart mysqld (without the '--skip-grant-tables').

Hi! If you are going to go about setting the password in this fashion, then you need to make sure to use the password() function in your UPDATE statement. For example: UPDATE user set Password=password('***') where User='root'; To connect to your server in it's current state (with bad root passwd) you need to start mysqld with the '--skip-grant-tables' option.

Hi! We have fixed this problem for the *upcoming* 3.23.31 release. For now, you can just pass '--no-deps' to the RPM install command, and it should work.

Alright, there are only a few steps where you need your admin guy. Here's what you need to do: shell> mysqladmin -u root --password=? create carlos_database shell> mysql -u root --password=? mysql -> GRANT ALL ON carlos_database.* TO carlos@"%_" IDENTIFIED BY -> 'carlos_password'; -> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; -> exit; After this is done, you (Carlos) will be able to connect to your database 'carlos_database' (or whatever you want to call it) as user 'carlos' (again, or whatever you chose for a username) with password 'your_password' (again, you can guess what I'm about to say :). Once connected you can create all tables and whatnot yourself. Note that the SQL Grant statement above will allow the user 'carlos' to connect from _any_ machine. This *may* be a security issue...? But without knowing more about your exact needs, this should work. For more info about GRANT look at: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php?section=GRANT For clarity, note that 'shell>' indicates the UNIX Shell -- and '->' indicates the MySQL Shell. Hope everything works for you!

Apparantly joining the mailing list is too daunting for beginners. We will soon begin to moderate the comments in the manual, to remove the cruft. Maybe during this moderation, we (the people moderating) can forward *interesting* comments (and questions if they come up) to the list for all to share.

Or better than going to Amazon, go to the MySQL Books page: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/books.html And order your copy from Barnes and Noble through the links provided. By doing this, B&N will give the MySQL Development team a small kick-back. This helps fund development! Also, Amazon has got that whole sticky "trying to patent web clicks" issue that the Free Software Foundation (and MySQL AB) is boycotting. :) Matt -- __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ / Matt Wagner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, http://www.mysql.com/ /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ River Falls, Wisconsin, USA <___/ Developer -- - Please check "http://www.mysql.com/documentation/manual.php" before posting.
