mysql-max 3.23.41 beta

2001-09-13 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Hello all,
 I had installed mysql-max 3.23.41 beta some time back. Now I
was trying to get the binary , but cannot find it anywhere! Also, if I use
the stable 3.23.41 do I make some installation etc. changes? Any advice will
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sheena.

RE: cannot get mysqld to start

2001-08-29 Thread Sheena Sidhu

HMM. Now I dont know why I always failed to get mysql up with the 'right'
command... I am looking into setting my root password right now But
please tell me if I am doing something wrong by running just safe_mysqld
instead of with the parameters...

Thanks,
Sheena.

Quoteth the install guide:

shell> cd mysql_installation_directory
shell> ./bin/mysql_install_db
shell> ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

This is always the way to start a fresh mysql install.
Note that safe_mysqld gets the --user arg ( and is run in the background
with & ).
Also remember to set your root password! Check the manual for this as well.

RE: cannot get mysqld to start

2001-08-29 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Dana,
 Thanks for looking into this further. I did all that, and ran the
command mysql_install_db instead of mysql_install_db --user=mysql & as they
said in the install guide! I have no clue of the difference between the two
and reason why it should work on one and not on another.
Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this.

Thanks,
Sheena.

This is covered in the mysql manual here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html

First, you need to install the default databases ( installs
mysql/host.frm ):

bash> mysql_install_db

Then tell mysql not to use InnoDB:
put this in your /etc/my.cnf file:

[mysqld]
skip-innodb

cannot get mysqld to start

2001-08-28 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Hello,
  I just installed mysql-max-3.23.41 on Linux. All went smooth but
alas cannot get myqld to start. here is the log from the .err
file in mysql/data directory: 

010828 14:26:30  mysqld started
Can't initialize InnoDB as 'innodb_data_file_path' is not set
010828 14:26:30  /usr/local/mysql-max-3.23.41-pc-linux-gnu-i686/bin/mysqld:
Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
010828 14:26:30  mysqld ended

Now, I am interested in BDB only, so don't care about Innodb. Seems like I
have to . But what do I do about the host.frm file ?
Gosh , can someone PLEASE help me here ???

Thanks,
Sheena.

BDB questions

2001-08-28 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Greetings everyone!
I had 2 questions related to using BDB and mysql. I
don't see any startup options for BDB, so can I safely assume that there
are'nt any , so don't need a my.cnf file? Also, how do I specify 'autocommit
off' every time BDB starts, instead of specifying it explicitly whenever
needed, also I believe even if it is on, I can use begin and end transaction
to achieve the same ?

Thanks!
Sheena.

RE: Choosing between Databases.

2001-08-27 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Hi Paul,
 Will not contest your claim at all since you must have tried it to make
that claim. So if I agree with you, then don't you think that the statement
which is posted earlier :"Berkeley DB does not support SQL queries. All
access to data is through the Berkeley DB API." is misleading esp. to a
novice like me or is it that I misunderstood?

You're not interacting directly with the BDB or InnoDB table handlers.
You're interacting with the MySQL server.  You send the server SQL
statements, it performs the appropriate translation from SQL onto the
operations supported by the table handlers.  It doesn't matter whether
the table handlers understand SQL as long as the MySQL server does -- which
it does.

You can easily convince yourself of this by writing a C++ program that
talks to the MySQL server to manipulate a BDB table.

Hi Paul,
   Thanks for responding. I am not sure if I understand you fully here. SO
you mean to say that  BDB DOES support SQL, meaning that I send statements
like 'Select * from user' to a BDB table from my C++ code? If that is
possible, then great. If not, then kindly let me know if Innodb has the same

The MySQL server maps SQL statements onto the internals of the BDB or
InnoDB table handlers.  The BDB statement is probably more with reference
to accessing it directly rather than through a SQL engine.

Choosing between databases.

2001-08-27 Thread Sheena Sidhu

Hello,
I am very new to mySQL and researching on the various databases
options. Since I needed transactions enabled, so after a lot of research, I
narrowed down to innodb and Bdb. But realized that Innodb is in alpha but
BDB is very stable. Although I like the features that innodb has to offer,
but for stability purposes I am leaning to BDB! Please let me know if there
is anything that I missed in my research, or links that I should look into
before I make up my mind.

Thanks, really appreciate your help.
Sheena.
