Re: [PHP] Because you guys/gals/girls/women/insert pc term here are a smart lot
So where's the advantage of VARCHAR ? Less space on disc = less data retrieved from disc = faster data retrieval - sometimes. If you have small columns, a small number of rows, or both, then char columns may be faster. If you have large columns of varying actual length, lots of rows, or both, then varchar columns may be faster. I still think a CHAR field would be faster than a VARCHAR because of the fixed row length (assuming every thing else is fixed).

Re: Data files from 4.1.13 with 5.0.x
Would data files from 4.1.13 work with 5.0.x or will I have to use an SQL dump? Well, not to worry, I managed to start 4.1.13 and got an SQL dump.

Table aliasing
Hi, Is there a way in MySQL to define an alias for a table, so in effect it has two names? For migration purposes. Thanks. -- Richard Heyes http://www.phpguru.org -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Table aliasing
No, the net effact would be that the table would have two names. -- Richard Heyes http://www.phpguru.org -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Table aliasing
I think what you want is CREATE VIEW test.v AS SELECT * FROM t; That will do the job, thank you. -- Richard Heyes http://www.phpguru.org -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Migrate HUGE Database
How very inconsistent and obnoxious. But yet far more secure. FWIW, if you're transferring between machines you can gzip the output of mysqldump to compress it, resulting in far less transfer time. Eg. mysqldump -u username -p database_name | gzip -c dump.sql.gz IIRC -- Richard Heyes Employ me: http://www.phpguru.org/cv -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Backup table structure, not data
Is there any way to backup a complete database structure (tables/fields/indexes/etc), without the data? Or even get a creation script per table? At present the only way I can think of is to restore a backup to another server and just delete records (a legacy database with data hitting over 12GB, might take some time) - but there's gotta be an easier way to do it... mysqldump has a --no-data option. Try man mysqldump (assuming your MySQL server is Unix based. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software hosted for you - no installation, no maintenance, new features automatic and free -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: failed queries
John Roddy wrote: I know that successful, data changing queries get logged in the binary log. But is there any way to see the actual queries that fail (i.e. timeouts, deadlocks)? I'm hoping there's a way other than using the general query log, which takes up too much space just to catch that occasional failed update. Use your abstraction layer to log queries that pass through it. -- Richard Heyes http://www.websupportsolutions.co.uk Knowledge Base and Helpdesk software that eases your support burden and helps increase your sales. ** NOW OFFERING FREE ACCOUNTS TO CHARITIES AND NON-PROFITS ** -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Performance wise, what is a BIGINT like in comparison to an INT on a 32 bit machine?

Re: Bigint
I think it's the same.
