Re: Help Save MySQL

2009-12-18 Thread Robert Canary
I have to disagree, your degrading the open community that built MySQL (well 
supported it anyway).  But now that it is doing well, your saying they aren't 
good enough, after the fact they already built it.  Yet it is good enough to 
for SUN and Oracle to buy. As a small business owner, the last thing I am going 
to do is service a free product, that will compete with my cash flow product.  
Get real!! Oracle is not going to rescue MySQL.  Oh they are willing take 
control of it, just so they can dumb it down, and use its code in their own 
product.  If you actually believe Oracle is going to service, update, and 
develop MySQL, then you are the naive one.  Except naive isn't the word that 
comes to mind.

Having said that, a save-mysql-website is not the answer, if SUN wants to sell 
it they have the right to do so, and sell it to the highest bidder, or the 
lowest, or whoever they feel like.  MySQL belongs to SUN.  Apparently they are 
serious about selling it off.  With that in mind, if you want to stop the giant 
Oracle from oppressing MySQL you better step up and make SUN an offer, because 
it is business, SUN will sell it.  Selling to Oracle will not give Oracle a 
monopoly, therefore there is no grounds to prevent the sell.

Again, SUN will sell it to Oracle unless someone gives SUN a better deal.  It 
will not matter how many I-hate-Oracle or Anti-sell-to-Oracle websites are 
created. This business people, big business.

Re: leading the technological bandwagon

2006-12-21 Thread Robert Canary
I ran into this before.  They had a system of spreadsheets that worked 
for them and they didn't want that to go away.  What I did was installed 
them a MySql server on a RHEL box, and rework all the spreadsheets that 
had special links to point to the database.


My argument to them was this allowed for one central point information 
instead the potential for the same information to repeated (and possibly 
changed) from another source.  This also gave them an eaisier backup 
solution.


They liked it.

Nowadays, Most business' have learned "if it works for you let it 
alone".  I have seen a $4-million business printing out mailing labels 
on a Win98SE machine.  Why?  Because it works perfectly for what they 
want, why change it.  They print out over 7 million mailing labels a 
year.  They did upgrade the printer.

Re: Increasing number of sockets

2004-07-07 Thread Robert Canary
Gee, how about just a little more coffee... ;-)
I meant, {long version}...
It could be the radius error is reflecting its 
failure to connect to the database because the 
database has no connections available.  I found 
the max_connection variable (default is 90) and 
applied it to the safe_mysqld section in the my.cn 
it seemed to have did the trick, I am not getting 
the error anymore.

TCP/IP of course

What kind of socket?  TCP/IP socket? Unix domain socket file?
Either way, that sounds like an odd message. The server listens to
a single TCP/IP port and a single Unix socket file.  There's no need
for more.
I'm looking the man pages for safe_mysqld and mysql but I don't see 
anything that offers to provision this.

How does increase the number of sockets on the mysql?

Lossing connetion to MySql server

2002-10-15 Thread Robert Canary

Please forgive me for double posting, but I can't remeber if my mysql
list subscription is still active.

Hi Folks,

I have weird problem here.  My MySql runs on a 7.2 Rh Linux
kernel-2.4.9-43 MySql is version 3.32.36

Everything was doing fine the last major maint. was when I ran up2date
on the MySql server Sunday, Monday moring no one could get to the MySql
databases.

The MySql logs shows where the server is starting everytime a connection
request is made.  However, I set at the console (or telnet) screen and
start a session using mysql.  I can go to another machine and run mysql
-h  and create a session.

However, none of the GUIs like MySql Admin, or UrbanSQL, or our billing
program (which uses java) can create a session.

I have tried to completely shutdown the MySql and restart the daemon,
but that didn't help either.

BTW, I have one machine (the dial-up server) that runs a Perl script
that connects to the MySql server and logs all modem query info in the
database, it is working fine.

The java err I recieve is as follows:
SQLException setupDatabaseConnection:java.sql.SQLException:
Communication link failure: Socket closed

This is what shows up in the mysql query log:
/usr/libexec/mysqld, Version: 3.23.36-log, started with:
Tcp port: 3306  Unix socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock  
Time Id CommandArgument

This is what shows up in the mysql log:
Number of processes running now: 1 
mysqld process hanging, pid 14366 - killed 
021015 05:53:39  mysqld restarted  
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections 

Any ideas??

Need help.
