Re: Is any limit on how many tables one database can have?

2001-04-20 Thread Sean Strycker

Hello,

I would recomend getting a good book that covers "Database Normalization,"
this has to do with database design theories, etc.

Or just look for a good book on "Database Design".

 Hi,

 I'm designing a database and I was wandering which one is better:

 A) 1000 tables (e.g. 10,000 rows each) in one database

 or

 B) One table with (e.g. 10,000,000 rows) and each group with special ID
(in
 one extra column)


 And if I need to have many tables in one database, is any limit on how
many
 tables one database can have?

 Regards,
 Sumarlidi Einar Dadason

MySQL newbie questions.

2001-04-20 Thread Sean Strycker


Does anyone know exactly where to put the mysql.server file?  is it in /etc?  When I 
run it I get these

./mysql.server: @HOSTNAME@: command not found
./mysql.server: my_print_defaults: command not found

Which leads me to believe I'm doing somthing wrong.



Mysqld running as root.

2001-04-19 Thread Sean Strycker


Hello,

I'm a newbe to Linux and MySQL, but I'm finding it very interesting.

I'll cut right to the chase - I've followed the directions in the manual for the 
binary install on Linux.  but every time I start up the mysql daemon and do a pstree 
-laup, it's running as root.
 
This is on a development / play machine so it's not that big a deal, but my system 
admin says that I have to run it as user=mysql.

I've tried changing the mysql.server script, the my.cnf file, etc.  I cant figure it 
out  - how to make it start up and run as user=mysql!?!

Anywho - any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, 

Sean.
