Hi! Ed == Ed L mysql@bluepolka.net writes: Ed Mysql newbie here, looking for some help configuring 5.0.45 master-slave Ed replication. Here's my scenario... Ed We have a heavily loaded 30gb 5.0.45 DB we need to replicate via Ed master-slave configuration to a new, beefier server running same mysql Ed 5.0.45, and then cutover to the new server. Due to extreme SAN Ed congestion and a grossly overloaded master server, our DB dumps take 5.5 Ed hours. But we cannot afford that much downtime or locking during the Ed replication transition; we can manage 10-15 minutes, but more is very Ed problematic. Ed I understand that FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK will lock the tables for Ed the duration of the 5.5 hour dump. Is this true? Yes. Ed If so, we'd like to dump/initialize/sync slave WITHOUT any locking Ed anything the master for more than a few seconds if at all possible. Ed Will this give us the dump we need? Ed mysqldump --single-transaction --master-data --all-databases You can do a dump without locking by using the xtrabackup tool. This however assumes you are using InnoDB as the storage engine. The other option is to use file system snapshots, if your file system supports that. In this case you only have to do the FLUSH TABLES ... for the duration of the snapshot.

Hi! Manuel == Manuel Arostegui man...@tuenti.com writes: Manuel 2012/9/19 Mark Haney ma...@abemblem.com I hope this doesn't end in some kind of flame war. I'm looking to optimize my tables (and performance in general) of the DB my web app is using. I'm tweaking things a little at a time, but I'm curious as to what the rest of the MySQL list thinks about changing my storage engine from InnoDB to something else so I can optimize the tables on a regular basis. Is it worth the effort? Any caveats? Manuel Hi Mark, Manuel I would depend on what your workload would be. Mostly writes, mostly reads, Manuel how many writes/reads do you expect etc. Manuel The best approach, from my point of view, would be, firstly, tune your Manuel MySQL server (if you've not done it yet) before getting into engine/tables Manuel optimizations which can be more complicated. InnoDB is a great engine, but not suitable for everything. Depending on your usage, moving some tables to another engine may help. Here is some suggestions (in no particular order): - If you want to have small footprint but don't need commit, foreign keys or explicite rollback then ARIA is an option. http://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-formerly-known-as-maria/ - Duplicating some data in the MEMORY engine may also be beneficially. - If your problem is a lot of write, then you should take a look at Tokutek. It's an engine that is optimized for a lot of inserts. http://www.tokutek.com/products/tokudb-for-mysql/ - If you want to utilize a lot of computers to analyze BIG data then ScaleDB (http://www.scaledb.com) or InfiniDB (http://infinidb.org/) may be an option.

Fred When I try to use the same outfile name 'test123.csv' I get Error Code: Fred 1086 File 'test123.csv' already exists. But then when I try to find the Fred csv file on my computer, there is a folder with that name, but weird files Fred in it, none of which are a csv-- and certainly not in the location that I Fred thought it would be (the same directory that the .sql query is in). It's the mysqld server that is writing the .csv file. This means that the path is related to the mysql data directory and not to where your .sql file is. When using select into outfile it's always best to give a full path! Fred Additionally, when I try to identify a different path, such as 'C:\\' etc, Fred I get an error. This error is: Error Code: 1.

This probably means that you don't have write access to C:\ Fred I tried running the query outputting to a different named .csv file, but it Fred is still just running... and seems like it was like yesterday where after Fred 10 minutes I will get the Error that the MySQL connection was lost. The reason that your connection is lost are ether: - There is timeout in the client you are using (The server never gives a timeout for running queries). - The mysqld server died (not likely but possible). - Some process in your system is killing quries that runs too long. One way to quickly check that things are working are by adding LIMIT 1 to the query. Fred Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? The query without exporting the file works fine, in about 12 sec/77 sec. I read online how to export MySQL queries into csv's, and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I keep getting the error: Error Code: 2013. Lost connection to MySQL server during query, where the duration/fetch values are 600.547 sec (~10 minutes). What is the exact error message?

Help keep the Internet free
Hi! We have just launched a worldwide, multilingual petition at http://helpmysql.org to get signatures to show the regulators in the EU and other places that it's important that MySQL continues to be available and developed as a strong Open Source product for all database needs. If you care about the future of MySQL as an Open Source product, please go and sign the petition and tell others about it! We are also searching for volunteers that can help us with gathering names for the petition. If you have a bit a spare time and think that MySQL is worth saving, please join us on the #helpmysql IRC channel on Freenode and help us with spreading the world and gather names! You can make a real difference, wherever you are in the world! The more names we are able to get, the higher the chance is that we can keep MySQL free and available for all! Don't be fooled by the empty promises Oracle have given about the future of MySQL. I examined them in my previous blog post at http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/oracle-gives-only-empty-promises-fo r.html and showed that Oracle is not really promising anything; Not even that the Open Source version of MySQL will be developed further. Thanks to everyone that helped us with the previous campaign. It was of great help, but probably not enough, which is why we had to start this new campaign to gather even more names. This time we will be able to use the names to influence decisions worldwide (not just in the EU) and we will get more public attention. This will be far more powerful. During the previous campaign there was a lot of discussions in different medias about my incentives for driving it. I have tried to answer most of these concerns in my latest blogpost: http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-keep-internet-free.html Help us keep the Infrastructure of the Internet free!

Agree, this has to do about competition and that Oracle, the leader in revenue for databases are trying to buy MySQL, the leader in users just to kill it off. Facundo MySQL became more closed when Sun bought it and while i think that Facundo Oracle will try to get this even more closed IMO it's time to fork it as Facundo a really open source project. Monty could lead this. The are a lot of Facundo forks around that make MySQL even better that it is from SUN. I have already done a fork, MariaDB. This was done to engage the community that MySQL AB and Sun has been neglecting into MySQL development. The problem with a fork of an infrastructure program like GPL is that it can only survive if the owner of the copyright has good intentions, like Sun has. With Oracle as a copyright owner, there is very little chance for a fork to survice. I have written an analyse of this at: http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/10/importance-of-license-model-of-mysql-or.html The promises that Oracle has done regarding MySQL are not enough to protect MySQL from being killed as an Open Source project; When you analyse them, they are actually promising very little now and nothing after 5 years!

Help saving MySQL
was not implemented/released until after Oracle announced it was acquiring Sun. - Oracle started working on InnoDB+, a better 'closed source' version of InnoDB - In the end Sun had to fork InnoDB, just to be able to improve performance. It's true that development did continue, but this was more to be able to continue using InnoDB as a pressure on MySQL Ab. Note that Oracle's development on the Linux kernel is not comparable with MySQL, because: - Oracle is using Linux as the main platform for their primary database product (and thus a better Linux makes Oracles platform better) - The GPL code in the kernel is not affecting what is running on top on it (because of an exception in Linux). Because we don't have access to a database of MySQL customers and users the only way we can get the word out is to use the MySQL and Open Source community. I would never have resorted to this if Oracle would not have broken the well established rules in anticompetitive merger cases and try to influence the EC by actively mobilising the customers. This is very critical to this AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as EC, depending on what Oracle is doing, needs to make a decision either on Monday (2009-12-14) or within two weeks. Becasue of the strict deadline, every email counts! What I want to ask you to do (until 2009-12-19): - Forward this email to everyone that you know is using MySQL or Open Source/free software and to all email list where you know there are people present that use or care about MySQL and open source (please check first that this email hasn't been sent there before) - Alternatively send emails with information about this and tell them to read http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-saving-mysql.html - Add links on your web site to http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2009/12/help-saving-mysql.html with the text We are using MySQL, help save it, for the duration of the next two week. - Blog about this (feel free to include this text or just link to my blog) - Call by phone (don't contact by email, this is urgent) your boss or VP and ask him to read this email and send a letter to the EC commission ASAP! - If you don't have anyone to contact above, send an email to the EC! As we want the EC to get a correct picture of the situation, we want you to first fill in the upper part and then choose one of the proposed texts belove that best matches your view of the situation. Feel free to supply your own text and additional information if you think this will help the EC to reach a better understanding of how MySQL is used. Send this to: comp-merger-regis...@ec.europa.eu If you have extra time to help, fill in the following, if not, just skip to the main text. Name: Title: Company: Size of company: How many MySQL installations: Total data stored in MySQL (megabyte): For what type of applications is MySQL used: Should this email be kept confidential by EC: Yes/No Copy or use one of the below texts as a base for your answer: a) I don't trust that Oracle will take good care of MySQL and MySQL should be divested to another company or foundation that have everything to gain by developing and promoting MySQL. One should also in the future be able to combine MySQL with closed source application (either by exceptions, a more permissive license or be able to dual license MySQL under favourable terms) b) I think that Oracle could be a good steward of MySQL, but I would need EC to have legally binding guarantees from Oracle that: - All of MySQL will continue to be fully Open Source/free software in the future (no closed source modules) - That development will be done in community friendly way. - The manual should be released under a permissive license (so that one can fork it, the same way one can fork the server) - That MySQL should be released under a more permissive license to ensure that forks can truly compete with Oracle if Oracle is not a good steward after all. Alternatively: - One should be able to always buy low priced commercial licenses for MySQL. There should also be mechanism so that if Oracle is not doing what is expected of it, forks should be able to compete with Oracle c) I trust Oracle and I suggest that EC will approve the deal unconditionally. Let us prove to Oracle and EC that the Open Source community is a true force and we take good care of our citizens and we prefer to work with companies that does the same!

Konstantin Monty, I disagree with this statement. Our current users use the Konstantin current versions of the server. It's a separate question of what Konstantin support we're willing to give them and for how long. Konstantin In the new versions we should hold high the expectations of new Konstantin users, and they are about standard compliance, and also about ease Konstantin of migration. Sorry, but the above is not true. We have asked user over and over again what they think about the standard and they have said it's not critical or even important to them.; What is important that we don't break their old applications! When going forward, we must prioritize old user to new ones! The old ones are our current or customers in the near future. If we make them unhappy we don't have a business anymore. The new users will mainly listen to old user if they should use MySQL or not. If we make the old ones angry, we don't get new users. Konstantin sql_modes are not a solution since they make the server code a Konstantin mess, and won't let us make everyone happy anyway. I disagree that it makes the code messy. The code depends on how you implement them. sql_modes are there to help people easier switch to a newer server and gives them time to upgrade their old applications over time. When you have an application with million of code, it will take time to find and fix all issues. Seeing able to resolve things when things are found to break by simply using a sql_mode may save the day for them. It's important that you see the usage of MySQL from theu user point of view; Saying that something is complex and we will not do it, will not satisfy a user that needs it. Konstantin MySQL server needs a vision. Sticking to expectations of existing Konstantin users is looking back into (not-so) glorious past. Our existing users is the second biggest user base for any database. We reached this level as MySQL has worked to their expectations. Trying to do things differently, like other companies have tried, will just lead to failures. Konstanting Trying to make everybody happy is infeasible. Konstantin Our only option is to move forward Konstantin to meet expectations of our modern adopters, and they are largely Konstantin more intelligent, with past database experience, so the standard Konstantin compliance is high on their list. On what do you base your observation ? It's not what our users have been telling us on MySQL conferences. People are using MySQL because it's different and can satisfy their needs. Standards are useful, but not important for our current or future users. Getting the job done and not having downtime, even when upgrading, that is important! Konstantin What's worse, is that while we're fighting internally when to make Konstantin an incompatible change and when not, our change management process Konstantin is a mess. That's another issue, but it's not any reason to abound features that some of our users may depend on. Konstantin We introduce incompatible changes in every major release, so Konstantin people are forced to migrate their applications manually again and Konstantin again. And yet we can't plan our changes in a way that a bulk Konstantin incompatible changes in a certain area are done at once, forcing Konstantin people to look into the problem once only, rather than on every Konstantin upgrade. That is a problem with our development processes, has nothing to do with sql modes. Konstantin It's a pity we can't shift our focus and mental efforts from Konstantin developing a shared understanding what incompatible changes are Konstantin right and called for, to developing the best way of making Konstantin changes. Just focusing on one area doesn't solve any problems. What is needed is to have a good understanding of all aspect of the problem. I agree that we need to change things. I disagree that doing incompatible changes without planning and carefull thinking about how this will affect our user base is the right way to go.

Roy This is a literal format that is seen only by the SQL programmer, so Roy there is no need for extensions.

If that sorting is stable, this should work, but can we rely SP Yes. This is documented behavior: SP http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html : SP If you use GROUP BY, output rows are sorted according to the GROUP BY SP columns as if you had an ORDER BY for the same columns. To avoid the SP overhead of sorting that GROUP BY produces, add ORDER BY NULL: Andrew Well, this snippet documents how the *grouped* rows will be ordered, Andrew but the question is about the properties of specific sorting algorithm Andrew that is internally used to implement GROUP BY. Andrew I'm not sure if I'm clear enough so let me provide an example. Assume Andrew that the inner SELECT produces the following: Andrew id=1, sortkey=123, groupkey=33 Andrew id=2, sortkey=124, groupkey=33 Andrew id=3, sortkey=125, groupkey=11 Andrew id=4, sortkey=126, groupkey=11 Andrew id=5, sortkey=127, groupkey=22 Andrew id=6, sortkey=128, groupkey=22 Andrew I suppose that 'GROUP BY groupkey' will have to sort the incoming Andrew rows by groupkey, then go over it sequentially, keeping only the Andrew first encountered row for every given groupkey. That is one algoritm, but MySQL has others. Andrew However if the specific sorting algorithm is not stable it *might* Andrew change the order and produce something like that for temporary Andrew sorted set: It's not stable; MySQL is using several different technics to calculate GROUP BY and may thus return the rows in any order within the group by. Andrew id=4, sortkey=126, groupkey=11 Andrew id=3, sortkey=125, groupkey=11 Andrew id=6, sortkey=128, groupkey=22 Andrew id=5, sortkey=127, groupkey=22 Andrew id=1, sortkey=123, groupkey=33 Andrew id=2, sortkey=124, groupkey=33 Andrew And put id=4 instead of id=3 into the result set. Andrew So the question is a bit more subtle :) It's whether the algorithm Andrew that GROUP BY (and possibly everything else) uses stable or not. Andrew I'd bet a quarter that it is but just want to make sure :) In general with SQL: Don't assume any order of rows if you don't explicitely specify a sort order.

Help requested to provide bug reports for 5.1
Hi! This is a request to all MySQL users to help mysql developers, by providing information, so that we can help you, by providing a more stable MySQL server for your needs. As you may know, MySQL 5.1 has been in state of release candidate (RC) for some time. The last RC was announced as the last RC and is supposed to be followed by a GA release. The GA release is planned to be the exact same code as the last GA, only with the label changed. The question we, who are developing and supporting the MYSQL server have been asking ourselves is, Are really now in shape to do a proper GA release?. We would like you as a MySQL User to help us out with deciding this. We don't want to repeat the mistake we did with MySQL 5.0 GA and then again with MySQL 5.1 RC, by releasing a MySQL 5.1 GA too early. Our external criteria for General Availability (GA) or Production release can be found here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/choosing-version.html What you may not know is that we have as part of our internal GA criteria, a requirement that we should not have any serious bugs, crashing or wrong result bugs, that affects a notable amount of users. The criteria states that it is ok to postpone fixes for bugs that have a low impact (ie affects few users). This has the following implications: - Bugs for which we don't have many user/customer reports for are not likely to get fixed. (In the worst case not even in 6.0 !) - It's ok to go out with bugs in new feature in the GA as long as we don't have many users/customers that have reported problems with these features. In other words, if you have an issue with a serious bug that exists in 5.1 that you *really* would like to have fixed soon now is your chance to influence our development! Note that it's ok, and we want, you to also report bugs after we release the MySQL 5.1 as GA. The more users/customers commenting on a bug the more chance it will be fixed! What I would like for people to do: - Report every single bug that you encounter or know about in 5.1 into our bugs system. http://bugs.mysql.com/ - If the bug is already reported, please add a comment to the bug report that it affects you too. - If you are a MySQL support customer, add either a note to the bug report that you are a customer and the bug affects you or send a request as a customer directly to the MySQL support personal (they are happy to take your reports!) - If you have reported a bug a long time ago that has not been fixed and this is still important for you to get fixed, please reopen the bug/add a note in the bugs database that the bug is still relevant for you! Note that you should also do this for bugs that you know of in MySQL 5.0 that are still open for MySQL 5.1 (or any bugs that are labelled to be fixed in a future release). Bugs that are in earlier version are also very likely to also be in 5.1 if the bugs database doesn't say otherwise. Lets make the MySQL server bugs life's harder by giving us more information about which bugs are really important for us to fix. More information will help us make better decisions about how and when a bug should be fixed.

Re: Urgent problem
Hi! Peter == Peter Lauri [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Peter Best group member, Peter My computer stopped working. And I was able to install Windows on another Peter partition and now I face one problem. I was running Windows with MySQL 4.1. Peter I have all C: working, and can access all files. Peter The first question: Can I recover that data from MySQL? Peter The second question: How can I do that? (All attempts to repair Windows has Peter failed, so that option is gone) Peter I have gone thru the manual but all information there seems to be related to Peter if the database crashes. And some options are there when you do make Peter backups, but I do not have the backups. Peter A desperate soul... In principle you can just copy the tables from one partition/computer to another and start using them. (The MySQL version doesn't have to exactly the same, as long as the new one is newer than the old one). To fix this: - Install MySQL on your new partition (computer) - Copy all files in the MySQL data directory (normally C:\mysql\data) to your new partition. If the path is different, you may have to create a my.cnf file that includes the --basedir and --datadir options to your new path. - Restart MySQL. - Check/repair your tables by using from the command line: C:\mysql\bin\mysqlcheck --all-databases --auto-repair Regards, Monty CTO of MySQL AB -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Help us at MySQL user conference
Hi! I assume most of you know that we will have our annual MySQL User conference at April 14-15 in Orlando. During the conference we will give a lot of information about new MYSQL features that are already implemented in MySQL 4.1 and 5.0 and also about the new features we plan to implement in future MySQL versions. On the conference there will be a lot of MySQL developers around with intimate knowledge of all MySQL server code. I would like you to talk with them and tell us what features of MySQL are important to you. By knowing your needs, we will be able to better satisfy them! For example: - What features you find important and why. - What features you would like us to implement in the near / far future. - Talk with MySQL developers about the problems you have faced with MySQL - Ideas of how to we could do things better. - How to solve some specific problem you are facing with MySQL or some other database. - What you would need from MySQL to be able to move your current application to MySQL - Cool ideas / functions that you would like to see implemented. - New table handlers that you would like to implement / use. If you have a tough problem, put it on your laptop or on a CD/DVD and ask some of the MySQL developers to help you with it during the conference! If you can't come to the conference, please ensure that someone else you know comes and talks with our developers so that we can get your feedback/ideas to improve MySQL.

Urgent: Prepared Statements C API hangup the Server - Help Urgent....
hi! A == Arunachalam [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: A Hai MySQLians!!! A I have established the Successful Connection to MySQL from COBOL. A Now from COBOL I can able to query the MySQL and get back the A result sets using C APIs under MySQL 4.0.17-max both in windows A and Linux. Note that my Client is in Windows platform... A Its not enough for my application, I'm in need to use Prepared statements A for further SQL processing... A As per my searching I have found the right C API in libmysql.lib from A MySQL 5.0.0, (i have doubt: Is any eariler version 4.0.xx provides this???) A C API routines are: mysql_prepare(), mysql_bind_param(), mysql_execute(), A mysql_stmt_affected_rows(), mysql_fetch(), mysql_stmt_close()... You should probablty use MySQL 4.1 instead of MySQL 5.0 for testing this as we make more often releases for 4.1 than for 5.0 (until 4.1 is production ready). A I have installed MySQL 5.0.0-alpha for Windows and I have properly linked A thelibmysql.lib into my COBOL compiler... To verify the Parameter Passing A mechanism to the API routines i have taken the sample C code from MySQL A manual (URL: * http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysql_execute.html * ) A When I compiled this sample coding using VC++, it ask for *typelib.h* header A file, it is not given with insatllation pack, under the Mysql folder A (C:/MySQL/Include), I have searched on the net and include it accordingly. Thanks for notifying us about this. typelib.h should be included in the MySQL folder and we will do that for next MySQL windows release. (4.1.2) A After that i have made changes in some variable names becaz of it follows A other header files variable name as such. What changes did you have to make ? Including typelib.h should be enough. I will ask our windows team to verify that the example works ok with VC++ A Upon all the changes I can able to execute succcessfully the coding and it A does the function properly on the MySQL server database. A The PROBLEM I met is, Once this sample code executed and inserted data to A the Database the server get's hanged - why??? This shouldn't happen. Can you please describe exactly what you mean with a 'hang' ? - Does the connection in your test program stop respoding ? - Can you connect to mysqld with other clients ? - Does the MySQL server take all cpu In the tests directory of the MySQL source tree there is a test program 'client_test' that shows in detail how to use prepared statements with MySQL. A (Note that If I didn't run this coding or my COBOL coding the Server remain A function properly) A Kindly suggest me the solution or quote me the things i forgot to do... In the released 5.0 server there is some known bugs in the prepared statement handling for some specific prepared statements. We have fixed these bugs in 4.1.2 which should be available quite soon (we are just now closing the last open bugs in 4.1 to be able to make a new release ASAP). To get any problems you have fixed, you could try to make a standalone test case in C that we could try to repeate. Another option is to follow the instructions in the MySQL manual of how to debug MySQL and give us a stack trace of where mysqld is hanging. Another option is to use the debug version of mysqld and start it with --debug. The trace file that is written (in C:\ or /tmp) should give us a good idea of where the bug could be.

MySQL 5.0.0 has been released
Hi, MySQL 5.0.0, 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://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Do to an unfortunate build error in the last minute we can't provide -max binaries for 5.0.0 at this time. Sorry about that. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. This is the first Alpha development release of the 5.0 tree, adding many new features (see below). As this code is currently labeled Alpha, we do not recommend that this version be used in production environments yet! It does however pass our test suite on all our build platforms and all old features should be resonable stable. However, we encourage you to test and evaluate it and, more importantly, report any bugs or observations to our bug tracking database at http://bugs.mysql.com/. Please note, that for us to resolve a bug report, a reproducible test is required. See How to report a bug at http://bugs.mysql.com/how-to-report.php for more details before filing a bug report. We appreciate your support! The most prominent new feature of MySQL 5.0 is probably Basic support for stored procedures (SQL-99 style). However, there are several additional enhancements, which are planned to be implemented before MySQL 5.0 reaches beta status. Our development plan is to continue to add new features to 5.0 at least until 4.1 reaches 'gamma' status after which we will move new development to 5.1. Our man goal is to have more major releases with shorter time intervals to get out new stable features faster. THe MySQL 4.1 branch seams to be relatively stable and we will, if we don't find any new unexpected hard bugs that will require a new design decisions, make a beta release of 4.1 in January followed by a gamma release ASAP.

MyISAM rebuilding questions

Wynne I also would like to know how I can minimize the time necessary to get Wynne the MyISAM table up and running under MySQL 4.0.x? zero time for tables without fulltext. Some time for tables with fulltext indexes. Wynne I have read the http://www.mysql.com/newsletter/2002-12/a91.html Wynne document which states that tables with lots of data can be difficult to Wynne rebuild and would be better served using InnoDB, but InnoDB does not Wynne support fulltext searches. I don't know of any problems in rebuilding an MyISAM table: Just do: OPTIMIZE TABLE table_name; or ALTER TABLE table_name type=myisam; It's true that MySQL 4.0 has better fulltext capabilities and to get these activated for a table you need to rebuild the tables that has fulltext support. The old tables will however work as before even if you don't rebuild them (but in this case you will probably not be able to use boolan search on them until you have rebuilt them). Note that fulltext rebuilds are MUCH faster in 4.0 so it should not take long to do the rebuilds. Wynne Thank you for any assistence, Wynne Wynne Crisman Wynne patternWare Systems, Inc.

MySQL 4.0.8 is released
Hi, MySQL 4.0.8, a new version of the world's most popular Open Source Database, has been released. It is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Note that all mirrors may not be up to date; If you can't find this version on some mirror, please retry later or try another mirror. This is a new gamma release, fixing some recently discovered bugs. If this release doesn't have any major problems, we will release 4.0.9 as a stable release. From the ChangeLog: --- Functionality added or changed: * Default `max_packet_length' for libmysqld.c is now 1024*1024*1024. * One can now specify `max_allowed_packet' in a file ready by `mysql_options(MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE)'. for clients. * When sending a too big packet to the server with the not compressed protocol, the client now gets an error message instead of a lost connection. * We now send big queries/result rows in bigger hunks, which should give a small speed improvement. * Fixed some bugs with the compressed protocol for rows 16M. Bugs fixed: * Fixed bug in `ALTER TABLE' with BDB tables. * Fixed core dump bug in `QUOTE()' function. * Fixed a bug in handling communication packets bigger than 16M. Unfortunately this required a protocol change; If you upgrade the server to 4.0.8 and above and have clients that uses packets = 255*255*255 bytes (=16581375) you must also upgrade your clients to at least 4.0.8. If you don't upgrade, the clients will hang when sending a big packet. * Fixed bug when sending blobs longer than 16M to client. * Fixed bug in `GROUP BY' when used on BLOB column with `NULL' values. * Fixed a bug in handling `NULL's in `CASE' ... WHEN ... InnoDB changes: * InnoDB now supports also FOREIGN KEY (...) REFERENCES ...(...) [ON UPDATE CASCADE | ON UPDATE SET NULL | ON UPDATE RESTRICT | ON UPDATE NO ACTION]. * Tables and indexes now reserve 4 % less space in the tablespace. Also existing tables reserve less space. By upgrading to 4.0.8 you will see more free space in InnoDB free in SHOW TABLE STATUS. * Fixed bugs: updating the PRIMARY KEY of a row would generate a foreign key error on all FOREIGN KEYs which referenced secondary keys of the row to be updated. Also, if a referencing FOREIGN KEY constraint only referenced the first columns in an index, and there were more columns in that index, updating the additional columns generated a foreign key error. * Fixed a bug: if an index contains some column twice, and that column is updated, the table will become corrupt. From now on InnoDB prevents creation of such indexes. * Fixed a bug: removed superfluous error 149 and 150 printouts from the .err log when a locking SELECT caused a deadlock or a lock wait timeout.

What does this mean? : Warning: thr_alarm queue is full
Hi! Chung == Chung Ha-nyung [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Chung query. Chung I happened to find out that the lots of following error messages are Chung stored Chung error log file: Chung Warning: thr_alarm queue is full Chung What's this? Is it serious problem? The above is a very strange error; Basicly something that should never happen. It means that somehow you have more threads wanting to request for a alarm (used to timeout connections) than was registered when mysqld started. This should be impossible as we init the alarms with the following code in mysqld.cc init_thr_alarm(max_connections+max_insert_delayed_threads) In other words, we reserve as many alarms as we can have connections + insert delay threads; As a thread can only have one alarm and and no other threads than a connection or insert delay thread uses alarms I can't understand how you can get this error. Note that even if the alarm call fails, mysqld will work normally with the exception that a long lived connection will not time out. If you cando a new bug report, preferably with the 'mysqlbug' script, that includes the following information, I could try to dig deeper into this problem.

MySQL Security Flaw - Dropped Databases
Hi! Mark Hi, Gary I'd like to add to the security flaw thread with my own experience. Gary I have been hosting MySQL databases for over 2 years and on a few occasions Gary have had user databases disappear. Gary Last month one of my admin databases was dropped. The only user Gary who has Gary access to that database is root (me) and even after double checking all my Gary scripts/code and database/table permissions I was unable to determine how it Gary was done. I was able to track down the culprit and asked him how he did it. Gary He replied: GaryWhen use MySQL-Front(version 2.5) as client to connect to 4.x version Gary MySQL server,any users(even without any granted rights) can drop any Gary databases. I guess there is a horrible security hole exist in MySQL 4.x Gary version. Gary I don't really understand this client side exploit, nevertheless, the Gary database WAS dropped and that is how he told me he did it. Is this a red Gary herring (false lead)? If it is true, is this exploit being addressed? I checked this up and notice that your user is right. In MySQL we have two different ways to drop a database: With 'DROP DATABASE database_name'. Through the depricated client function 'mysql_drop_db()'. The first case works correct but in the second case the grant check is not done. I tracked this down to a merge I did between the 4.0 and 4.1 code in September last year :( The reson you could not repeat this is that MySQLFront() uses the old mysql_drop_db() call while you probably tested this with some client which uses the new way to drop a database. I will fix this at once for next 4.0 release. Thanks for reporting this!

BUG: 'strend' function in libmysql needs to be private

Can you take a peek at Ben this? I'll provide more info if necessary. strend() is a function we use a lot in the MySQL client code and is thus included in the libmysqlclient library.

Problem in deleting multi table
Hi! Minjie == Minjie Qiu [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Minjie Hello, Minjie I'm working on a purge utility to purge 3 tables: call_record, Minjie modem_call_rec and makrup. Those 3 tables are related with foreign key Minjie recid, so I used the following sql to purge data that is older than 30 days: Minjie delete call_record, modem_call_rec, markup from call_record, Minjie modem_call_rec, markup where to_days(now())-to_days(call_record.setup)=30, Minjie and call_record.recid=modem_call_rec.recid and call_record.recid=markup.recid; Minjie The result is, it works well with limited number of records. But when the Minjie number of records increases, for example to 500 records per table, Minjie call_record table is purged correctly, but the other two tables Minjie (modem_call_rec and markup) are not purged at all. Minjie The mysql manual mentioned that delete may not work when deleting tables Minjie with correlated columns. Is that the reason why the above query does not work? No, this should not be the case here. I don't see any reason for why the above should not work. Can you produce a test case for this so that we can look into it?

It appears to be slow to connect, causing 0.5 to 1.0 second delay on connection. Using persistent connections from PHP does not make much of a difference. I thought it might be the hostname lookup changes so I chose skip-grant-tables. This doesn't actually skip the hostname lookup though and had no effect. Most queries are shorter than 1 second so this problem causes catastrophic problems by making queries last a multiple times longer, which make the number of concurrent queries jump exponentially.

Spams on MySQL mailing lists
Hi! I was going through some of the old emails on the MySQL mailing list and noticed the many threads that discussed spams. (There seemed to be more emails discussing spams than true spams, but this is a separate issue). We here at MySQL AB do a lot of work to avoid spam and we are working on new better methods to do this. Previously Sasha was in charge of tuning the spam filters for the email list, but as he has lately been working full time on new replication features he has not had time to actively work on improving the current filter and keeping it up to date. We hope however to soon have a new person working on this to improve the quality of the MySQL public mailing lists. We have several times considering making the email lists subscribers only, but as I have posted previously, we believe this is not a good solution as it will make it much harder for new MySQL users to get help for their problems. (According from previous experience, a big part of the new MySQL users are not going to subscribe to a mailing list just to post a problem). My personal opinion is to go with the solution where a new, not subscribed poster would have to confirm his email the first time would be a good enough solution for us at this point.

failed.
The above shows that MySQL could use the index but decides to not use
this because it concludes that a table scan will be faster.
To verify this can you send us the result for the following queries:
SELECT count(*) FROM bugs WHERE bug_status IN ('NEW', 'ASSIGNED', 'REOPENED');
SELECT count(*) FROM bugs;
Myk The results were about 25,000 and 131,000, respectively.
In a case like this (where so many rows are covered by the index) it's
not self evident that a table scan is not faster than an index scan.
Especially with many users using the key cache at the same time, a
table scan is likely to use less resources from the system.
What was the time difference in executing the query when MySQL used
the index and when it did the table scan ?

Melvyn The myisamchck is certainly reproducable, as is the missing ft_ variables, Melvyn resulting in no way to set ft_min_word_len. myisamchk in 4.0 supports the ft_min_word_len variable. If you change ft_min_word_len, you are probably better of with using REPAIR TABLE than myisamchk to repair a table. Melvyn Should I re-report those bugs, so they are easier to process for you? Yes, if you can produce a full test case. Melvyn Today I think I found something interesting: Melvyn Some tables kept crashing, with incorrect keyfiles. Melvyn Verifying the CREATE TABLE statement, there's was 1 correlation: Melvyn The tables all had a second index on the primary key (for what reason?

You can check if the index are ok with CHECK TABLE; If this says the
index is ok, they are not corrupted.
You can optimize the index layout by using OPTIMIZE TABLE.
But back to the original problem:
mysql EXPLAIN SELECT bug_id FROM bugs WHERE bug_status IN ('NEW',
'ASSIGNED', 'REOPENED');
+---+--+---+--+-+--+++
| table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows |
Extra |
+---+--+---+--+-+--+++
| bugs | ALL | bug_status| NULL |NULL | NULL | 139425 | where
used |
+---+--+---+--+-+--+++
The above shows that MySQL could use the index but decides to not use
this because it concludes that a table scan will be faster.
To verify this can you send us the result for the following queries:
SELECT count(*) FROM bugs WHERE bug_status IN ('NEW', 'ASSIGNED', 'REOPENED');
SELECT count(*) FROM bugs;
If the first query returns more than 30 % of the second, then MySQL
works as expected in this case.

There was a bug in MySQL where it accidently converted double(X+1,X)

illegal type (as it was in MySQL 3.23)
(For example double(3,3) is an illegal type and is converted to

Pre-release of MySQL 3.23.50
Hi! 3.23.50 is basicly just a bug fix release compare do 3.23.49a There is however two things one should be aware of regarding 3.23.50 (both only affecting our Linux x86 binaries (normal and RPM's): - We have switched to a new updated glib library, because we found a critical memory corruption bug (introduced by us) in the old glibc library that we used to compile 3.23.49. (older MySQL binaries are not affected by this problem) - We have changed compiler to gcc 3.0.4 (because the old gcc compiler we used couldn't compile with an alternative glibc library). As 3.23 is a stable release version, we don't want to release 3.23.50 to the general public right away, as we want to be sure that the new gcc version works in practice as good as it has worked on our internal machines. You can now find 3.23.50 at the following link: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23-pre.html If we don't get any fatal bug reports by the end of the week for this version, we will then move it to our standard download page. If you find anything wrong/strange with this release compared to older 3.23 releases, please send a full bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will fix it ASAP! Changes in release 3.23.50 -- * Fixed problem with `crash-me' and gcc 3.0.4. * Fixed that `@@unknown_variable' doesn't hang server. * Added `@@VERSION' as a synonym for `VERSION()'. * `SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'xxx'' is now case insensitive. * Fixed timeout for `GET_LOCK()' on HPUX with DCE threads. * Fixed memory allocation bug in the glibc library used to build Linux binaries, which caused mysqld to die in 'free()'. * Fixed `SIGINT' and `SIGQUIT' problems in `mysql'. * Fixed bug in character table converts when used with big ( 64K) strings. * `InnoDB' now retains foreign key constraints through `ALTER TABLE' and `CREATE/DROP INDEX'. * `InnoDB' now allows foreign key constraints to be added through the `ALTER TABLE' syntax. * `InnoDB' tables can now be set to automatically grow in size (autoextend). * Fixed some buffer overflow problems when reading startup parameters. * Because of problems on shutdown we have now disabled named pipes on windows by default. One can enable named pipes by starting mysqld with `--enable-named-pipe'. * Fixed bug when using `WHERE key_column = 'J' or key_column='j''. * Fixed core-dump bug when using `--log-bin' with `LOAD DATA INFILE' without an active database. * Fixed bug in `RENAME TABLE' when used with `lower_case_table_names=1' (default on Windows). * Fixed unlikely core-dump bug when using `DROP TABLE' on a table that was in use by a thread that also used queries on only temporary tables. * Fixed problem with `SHOW CREATE TABLE' and `PRIMARY KEY' when using 32 indexes. * Fixed that one can use `SET PASSWORD' for the anonymous user. * Fixed core-dump bug when reading client groups from option files using `mysql_options()'. * Memory leak (16 bytes per every *corrupted* table) closed. * Fixed binary builds to use `--enable-local-infile'. * Update source to work with new `bison' version. * Updated shell scripts to new agree with new POSIX standard. * Fixed bug where `DATE_FORMAT()' returned empty string when used with `GROUP BY'.

How to speed up mods to large table?
Hi! Nick == Nick Arnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nick I haven't been able to dig up any specific information about how to get Nick maximum performance when making changes to large tables. I have a table Nick that's close to 4 GB, which I'm altering to come up with the best trade-off Nick between performance and speed. Dropping a column or an index seems Nick exceedingly slow and I'm wondering what parameters matter for this. I'm Nick already using the highest-performance drive I can lay my hands on. What Nick else matters? MySQL currently almost always recreates the full index and data tables when you do an alter table (to be fixed in 4.1). To speed this up for MyISAM tables, you can set up the myisam_sort_buffer_size to a much larger value.
