Re: What to do if a table is supposed to get 3GB data per day?
wow 30GB is a lot of data. Do let us know what kind of hardware / OS you are using. In the past I have worked with larger tables then these, but I was using Objectivity DB running on UltraSPARC 64bit architecture. -- Saqib Ali, CISSP, ISSAP http://www.full-disk-encryption.net -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

OT: LAMP appliance for non-profit use
Hello All, I know this is little bit off-topic but I think users of this group can give good advice on this topic. We have a in-house built application using MySQL + PHP + Apache. It is essentially a elaborate collection of online forms that will be used for managing school scholarship in the 3rd world countries. The student/teachers will either come to the office or fill out the forms online. We have identified few pilot location and would like to deploy this application. However due to lack of IT support at the location we have decided to use a pre-configured appliance which support the LAMP stack. All we want to do is directly ship the appliance to the location, and remotely install our app. We want the appliance to require minimal maintenance and administration, and have a auto-update feature to get security patches etc. I had previously worked on a similar project and used Sun Cobalt 550 servers. But now I think Sun has stopped making them and you can only buy them refurbished and the auto-update features are severely limited. Any other suggestion??? We want the appliance to cost us $1,000 / unit.

Best practices for deleting and restoring records - moving vs flagging
Hello All, What are best practices for deleting records in a DB. We need the ability to restore the records. Two obvious choices are: 1) Flag them deleted or undeleted 2) Move the deleted records to seperate table for deleted records. We have a complex schema. However the the records that need to be deleted and restored reside in 2 different tables (Table1 and Table2). Table2 uses the primary key of the Table1 as the Foriegn key. The Primary key for Table1 is auto-generated. This make the restoring with the same primary key impossible, if we move deleted data to a different table. However if we just flag the record as deleted the restoring is quite easy.

Re: Query Speed in Terminal vs. PHP
Is index defined on all of your tables?

However, the query runs at an acceptable speed if I am in a terminal session and run the query directly in the terminal. On the other hand, when PHP performs the same query for use in a page, it takes 5-7 minutes for the query to run (the same query running in the terminal takes about 3-5 seconds). I can do a show processlist when the php page runs the query and I see Copying to tmp table in the State column of the show processlist results.

you need to normalize your database structure, and create an ER diagram based on that.

I haven't touched telnet since then. So now I can't log in to create a new user or do anything else. sigh Is it possible to sit down in front of the server logged in as root and find the file that has this information and have a look at it? Maybe if I can see the user names it'll jog my memory as to the password. I can try a couple to see if any work. If this is not possible, what recourse do I have? I don't want to mess with the database and start over and I seriously don't want to have to do anything to mysql as it took me two weeks to get it to work with the DBI perl module. Now that it's working, I'm terrified to touch it in case it breaks. Thanks for any guidance. I promise this time to not forget to write it down.
