Not that it is that a big issue for my particular application, but knowing a workaround to this problem would be quite useful in the future.

RE: Graphical Database Information
We use this: http://www.datanamic.com/dezign/ Try the demo before buying it, it's not quite as good as it looks (unfortunately). Along with the "ImportER MySQL" you can just set it loose on your DDLs and it will generate a semi-complete ER diagram of your database. It helps if your foreign keys are named the same, i.e. Customer.customerID => Invoice.customerID so that it can generate those relationships too.

Good reply, Cathy. I'm not sure why there is such an outspoken negative reaction to a commercial software company announcing a related product on a mysql list...Not only can Mysql AB be considered a commercial software company, but so could myself and many others on this list. For the record, I (as a member of the "MySQL community") am usually mildly interested in knowing about software, commercial or open-source, that might ease my workload. As a change of topic: If there is an individual who is genuinely eager to type something in order to reduce traffic on this list, I suggest a Mysql FAQ that can be featured prominently on mysql.com. This would probably help cut down on the avalanche of "I can't find my socket file"/"Why can't I compile the binary"/"How do I make an auto_increment column" messages and could be added to incrementally.

Hi
I've got the following:
Table: Erf
Column Name : PortionNumber
DataType: varchar(5)
Records: 39000
The values of these records are all numbers that starts at 0 and ends at
200.
I would like to insert one or more '0', infront of all the numbers to make
sure that the length of each record are 5 numbers.
I know how to update a single record, but obviously 39000 wouldn't allow me
to have a weekend :)

hi. scroll down a bit. the _comments_, to which i was referring, go all the way up to July 2001, which seems fairly relevant to me. and while the article is definitely dated, transaction support in mysql is still not-quite-stable, it still lacks subqueries, stored procedures, triggers and foreign key constraints, which is important to know 1) if those things are important to you, and 2) if you're comparing it to oracle. so i'll stick by my statement that the link is "a page with _a lot_ of interesting comments from both sides of the commercial-RDBMS vs. mysql-postgres". -ravi. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 12:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Downsides of MySQL?

RE: State: "Writing to net"
hi and thanks for the responses. grigory: obviously local connections will be faster...but a query time difference of 2 seconds locally compared to 5 minutes for a machine on the same network (that can scp/ftp a 1 meg file in a few seconds) is a little strange. and at the risk of going offtopic, i'm attempting to track down what the cause of this is and how it could be improved... downloaded and installed tcpdump. as a disclaimer, IANANG. (network guy) ran it: [root@joker sbin]$ tcpdump -n host 10.10.10.31 no significant traffic between the boxes under regular circumstances. for smaller queries: select * from big_table limit 100, or 1000, or even 1, i receive a solid stream of lines like this, the amount obviously depending on the number of rows returned. 12:15:14.209326 10.10.10.12.4289 > 10.10.10.31.3306: . ack 617866 win 27512 (DF) 12:15:14.209427 10.10.10.31.3306 > 10.10.10.12.4289: P 617866:619314(1448) ack 538 win 32120 (DF) when i do a select * from big_table that returns the 53000 rows, i get around 13 lines of output, followed by a pause of almost exactly 30 seconds, then another 13-ish lines. this continues for a lng time. this time, although the query was executed from a different box (still close to the database server) i waited about 15 minutes for the query to complete, but finally killed the query process in mysql before it did. the other limit-ed queries executed in appropriate times...2 seconds, ~8 seconds, ~20 seconds respectively. what's up with that 30 second pause? does this look like a network problem to you guys? if it was, why would it not affect the 'limit 1' query as well? is there some sort of resource that mysql needs to process the 53000 rows that it might not have that would cause this? maybe different tcpdump options are in order for more pertinent information? again, thanks in advance for any ideas you may have. -ravi. -Original Message- From: mike cullerton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 8:41 PM To: Ravi Raman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: State: "Writing to net" being a network guy at heart, i'd like to see what tcpdump says is going over the ethernet card (if anything). does there appear to be traffic moving between the two machines, or is it caught in a buffer somewhere and hasn't even made it to the cable. since ftp works well, i'm guessing it isn't the physical network or anything at the ip layer. possibly getting data into the transport (tcp/udp) layer or above that. on 8/2/01 10:19 AM, Ravi Raman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hi. > > quick question... > i have a simple query that returns ~53000 rows. > > when connected to the mysql server from localhost, this query takes about 2 > seconds. > when connected to the mysql server from another box, this query takes about > 3-4 minutes.

RE: Replication, update log, mysqldump???
hi. w/r/t your first question: mysqldump just generates a text file containing the sql statements necessary to recreate the dumped table(s). if you use mysqldump -uuser -p > dumpfile.txt you can open it in vi or notepad and edit it if desired... the error about the table existing is because the generated file by default has the table creation statement in it. use mysql -t or mysql --no-create-info to eliminate this. run mysqldump with no arguments to see the full usage info. the duplicate keys error would most likely be because you have existing rows in your table that conflict with the insert statements...pipe the output to a file instead of straight to mysql(if that's what you're doing), then check out what exactly's failing. 2nd question: replication's good if you need a 'live' secondary...for instance, at my last job we used a replicated secondary database to run intensive up-to-date statistic queries that otherwise would have locked important tables. (pre row-level locking table types, of course). if you just want backups made at intervals, i'd just dump all/important tables to a file periodically via cron. that's just me. hth. -ravi. -Original Message- From: Joe Taraba [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2001 1:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Replication, update log, mysqldump??? Hi; I'm trying to learn MySQL, having some difficulties understanding backup strategies. mysql Ver 9.38 Distrib 3.22.32, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) Where is the documentation (besides man pages) for mysql Ver 3.22.32 According to the the 3.23.29 online docs it appears that there are four ways to go: Replication update log mysqldump mysqlhotcopy script The mysqlhotcopy script is apparently not available for my version so I manually backed-up (copied) all the *.frm, *.MYD, and *.MYI files for each database, so I know the usefulness of that approach--sort'a. I tried mysqldump on an existing database, and then tried to load it back and got several types of errors. 1. Table exists errors, so I deleted all the *.frm, *.MYD, and *.MYI files for that database. 2. I tried to load the dumpfile again and got errors about duplicate keys. This database is not visible to anyone right now, so there were no activities going on. This is an exact copy of a functioning customer database. I haven't tried using the update log, nor do I fully understand it's usefulness. The online docs say not to use it for versions later than Now that master-slave internal replication is available starting in Version 3.23.15, using the update log to implement replications is not recommended. See section 11 Replication in MySQL. Replication, I guess is not available for my version either. I glanced briefly at the docs on Replication--it looks pretty nifty. So I guess there are actually two questions here: 1. Why the errors from mysqldump (reload) from an apparently perfectly good database? 2. Should I upgrade my version of MySQL and follow the Replication procedures? A ton of thanks from anyone not taking a holiday (USA) today.

RE: Creating Table with a Default Datetime field
hi.
assuming all inserts and updates never specify a value for UpdatedDate or
CreationDate, on the initial insert:
mysql> insert into table (Info) values ('blahblahblah');
they will both be set to '20010627125429' or something.
any subsequent updates:
mysql> update table set Info='somethingelse' where Info='blahblahblah';
will leave CreationDate as its original value, and change UpdatedDate to
whatever the current timestamp is because it is first in the table
description/create definition.

I need to keep track of the product number, quantity, and price for that product. For instance: Order # Products - -- 1 222 : Qty 1: 12.00 # 333 : Qty 2 : 14.00 That is order number 1 and that person ordered one of product # 222 @ 12.00 and 2 of product # 333 @14.00. I would appreciate any assistance any of you might be able to offer. If I wasn't clear enough, let me know and I will try and explain it better. Thanks.

RE: Row to delete
hi. check out a book or online tutorial on database normalization. even a mildly normalized database will provide a way to uniquely reference a row. otherwise, you can use: delete from table1 where c1 = 10 and c2 = 'MySQL' limit 1; that will delete one row only, and if the rows are truly identical, it won't matter which of them (third one, first one, second one) you delete. -ravi. -Original Message- From: LAMULA LALLAL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 2:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Row to delete Hi Can some one help me for this issue.

"show index from tablename" will tell you for sure. check out the mysql manual section re: indexes for more information...also use the keyword EXPLAIN before the select query to find out where/if indexes are being used and where they would likely be the most helpful. hth. -ravi. -Original Message- From: Bryan Coon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2001 4:20 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Help needed with Query I am working on a mysql database with many large tables (1.5 million rows on some) and came across a beeg problem. I have need for a query like this: mysql> select distinct subsnp_pk as sqnmid, c.chrom, chrompos, source as panel, null as first_pcrp, null as second_pcrp, null as prb_seq, null as term, null as validation, null as freq, null as population from locuslink l, subsnp left outer join chromosome_position c on subsnp_pk = c.snp_fk left outer join locus_annotation a on subsnp_pk = a.snp_fk where a.locusid = substring(l.locusid, 4) and description like '%GABA%' order by subsnp_pk; Which seems insane. This 4 table join in another situation would become a 6 table join. As it is, it takes 1min 10.60 seconds for this query to return one result. Clearly I am not a MySQL expert, and even though this query works, there must be a better way to do this. Is it a matter of indexing? A matter of poor schema design? Poor query design? Is it unavoidable? As far as I know, none of the tables are indexed (I did not set up the schema). Please let me know if more info is required to help with this.

RE: Second Request - Limit Filed Input
Hi.
It's kind of counter-intuitive to me as well, but the rationale is that
there obviously was an error if you have a "" value for an ENUM column. this
theoretically allows you at some later time to use that indicator to do some
sort of error-check or update/delete all erroneous rows, or whatever you
decide to do.
...in other words, it's a feature, not a bug.

One problem I've seen with enums is that I end up with a blank ('') field
if I try to insert a row with a value in the enum column that doesn't fit.
Is there a way to get the insert to fail on "bad input" instead?
For example:
mysql> CREATE TABLE Stats (
-> Status enum('good','bad') NOT NULL
-> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> INSERT INTO Stats VALUES ('neither');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
(Can I get this insert to FAIL instead? because...)
mysql> select * FROM Stats;
++
| Status |
++
||
++
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
(this isn't always a good thing).

RE: Selecting random rows with MySQL 3.22?
You're selecting your index column [ID] for every record and generating a column containing a random number [ID*0+RAND()], ordering by the random column [ORDER BY rand], and then just grabbing the first record [LIMIT 1]. the RAND() function generates random numbers. In my version of mysql (most recent) this simpler query does the same thing: select ID, rand() as rand from partner order by rand limit 1 which is probably easier to understand, but YMMV. -ravi. -Original Message- From: Chris Boot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 3:53 PM To: MySQL Mailing List; Ravi Raman Subject: Re: Selecting random rows with MySQL 3.22?
