It is not very complicated also but bit unusual. Usually SSL layer stuff uses different port for SSL (remind HTTP port 443 instead of port 80). For MySQL it was requirement to stay compatible with all current stuff - port number and fallback to non-SSL connection. This is difference no 1 - MySQL client connects to server as every usual client with SSL mode off. Client sends handshake packet with special few bytes named capabilities. If client capabilities have HAVE_SSL flag, server responds with own flags including HAVE_SSL. After that without loosing connection all handshake is made again but now with SSL turned on. This is not very common way to do things. There are tricks around ACL-s. Some places must check if cipher and certificates are good enough for some operation. Replication uses separate code and all things need to be incorporated there. MySQL server will act as client and even has special MySQL client library code (which is not equal to common libmysqlclient code) in mini_client.c file. If someone will hack it, replication over SSL becomes possible. Sorry, I do not remember all details about MySQL code. I can take a look and implement missing functionality within decent time if some interested party will pay for this job. Perhaps there's a particular issue involved, or perhaps developers just don't have the time to dedicate to the feature. I'm just wondering so I can adjust my plans accordingly. I do not know current plans of MySQL AB, but you can influence on them if you buy support. Other option to support community is to provide good quality patch to MySQL AB.

Use MD5() or SHA1() for one-way hashing where result never needs to be

Use DES_ENCRYPT() for encrypting data if you want to decrypt it at some

Surely do not use PASSWORD() anywhere.

If SQL is well optimized, then parsing of SQL commands is most time consuming task and can't be well optimized. To avoid this you must reduce number of SQL commands to SQL server.

Securing the connection between a public ISP and a privately-hosted MySQL server seems like something that many people would have overcome by now. Am I really at the mercy of my ISP on this? Usually SSL can be used with separate wrapper program on any side. But this is usually. SSL handshake is different in MySQL because compatibility issues. Even when doing handshake with SSL enabled MySQL client, first packet is sent without encryption. There is a byte or two having bits named Client capabilities. If client want to establish SSL connection it raises bit I want SSL, server responds with similar structure Server capabilities having server can do SSL. Only after that all negotiation gets repeated with SSL turned on. This is why it is impossible to use stunnel on client side only and use native SSL of MySQL server (or opposite). In case of serious interest I can develop some separate piece of code which allows to fake first MySQL handshake packet or handle this issue somehow but it does not look serious idea to me :).

Re: Advise Requested: Troubleshooting Perl/Mysql/Sendmail Performance
On Tue, 11 Jun 2002, Keith Smith (E-mail) wrote: The system: a perl mailing list tool which accepts add/deletes via emails (sendmail piped) and then updates the backend database accordingly. The problem: once about 10 or more emails arrive, I begin to get performance problems from the Linux box. The drive is on continuously, the system is unresponsive, and its difficult to determine where the bottleneck is occurring. (eg. a sendmail issue, perl code is inefficient, mysql performance issues, system resources, etc.). Low volumes ( 10) of email operate flawlessly. I figured a good way to begin was to instrument the various mysql activities to see how long they were taking is this a good approach? Any advise on different approaches? First, MySQL part of question: If you ever suspect, with any MySQL related application that MySQL is slow, run: mysqladmin processlist You should see at least some SQL queries in-process. Run it many times. Try to see what queries are usually waiting and they show exactly where you have bottleneck in MySQL. If there is no running queries then result is clear - It is not MySQL topic. Second, If there is a 10 mails coming in and there is a big and bad framework behind it, you may overload easily just launching too many processes to run. I have seen same problem with e-mail system which always launced procmail to process every mail he got. When 20 mails arrived simultaneously, system started to suffer. As easy it is. I do not know your system details but incoming mails+big machinery behind them may be a bad idea. Try to receive mails as they come (you can't do much against this) but process already received mails from some queue one by one with some delay between each query. You can work out some good throttles which stop processing queries if load goes over some limit or whatever like this.

Re: A Proprietary MySQL Business Model
On Mon, 27 May 2002, Solomon John HART wrote: How much third party software is incorporated into the non-GPL version of MySQL. Obviously the included software can't itself be under the GPL. How does MySQL get around this? Does MySQL have contracts with contributors instead of contributions being under the GPL? It seems like an interesting business model and one that deserves attention. Some keypoints: 1. There is some non-GPL code in MySQL. But this software uses less restrictive licences than GPL. Public Domain for example, so you should not be worried about it. There is no reason to get around it. 2. Yes, MySQL has contracts with all needed parties. I also wrote some code to MySQL and have signed contract. 3.

Will MyISAM be the best table type for those, or under what circumstances will/won't it be? Also, what file system (for linux) do you recommend? ReiserFS or ext3 or something else? There is no universal solution. HEAP tables are fast as they are only in memory, MyISAM tables are fast when used for reading, InnoDB is best on heavy use with concurrent writes.

But usually tables contain different information, they have different usage and this affects things :) I do not know about ext3 much but rumours talk that it is just some kind of add-on on top of ext2. We have compared ext2 and ReiserFS when latter came out and ReiserFS was in some tests 30% faster in writes.

Notice about seconds overroll - S7K bug
(This is third attempt to post. always failed in some reason) I would like to make your attention on bug which was introduced tonight and can affect some people who are using (var)char field to store timestamp data. It is not worst security bug. It affects only people who already had bug in their code. Just now this bug become visible/exploitable. This is not MySQL bug. This is how people use their database. Also similar situation can be found in other software. I would like to inform people in public list as maybe some people have to search similar problems. The problem: Computers store time and date usually as integer value representing amount of seconds from 1 January 1970. Tonight it overrolled from 9 to 10. Possible bug and exploit relies on fact that some people have used character type of field to store this seconds information (we have already such case) example: mysql create table session (expire varchar(100) not null); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.31 sec) mysql insert into session values (7), (8), (9), (10), (11); Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.00 sec) Records: 5 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0 mysql mysql select * from session; ++ | expire | ++ | 7 | | 8 | | 9 | | 10 | | 11 | ++ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql Let's assume that this table contains values we use somewhere to authenticate users. After user logs in, we write down session expiry time and later we check it like this: mysql select count(*) from session where expire = '132535'; +--+ | count(*) | +--+ |3 | +--+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql WOW, what happened? Shouldn't be 13253 bigger than any value in table? It worked yesterday! In MySQL we suggested people to use quotation marks around integer values. This can avoid many web-based attacks targeted to modify SQL commands (more information on http://www.mysql.com/doc/G/e/General_security.html). This is the reason why people put quotation marks around integer expressions and this is correct. Also automatic type casting will fix the source problem is column data is integer or some time/date vale. But when both column is character type and expression, they get compared as strings. And as we know, strings get sorted in order: 1,11,2,22 but integers: 1.2.11.22 So, this is why 13253 10 It is possible that some web applicatons have endless expiry times now and not only in MySQL contexts. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Mr. Tonu Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Security Administrator /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Hong Kong, China ___/ www.mysql.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

SORRY: I was wrong
Now again I want to tell sorry to everyone who was shoked by my letter which told that we do not give answers without money. The truth is that MySQL developers have about 20 different mailing lists to read in priority order. We have mailing list for people who pay for support and their mails get answered before anything else. Unfortunately we receive a lot of spam to this list plus many people just ask us for free support. This makes our work harder in many aspects. For example I receive e-mails related to some patterns directly to my cellular phone as SMS message. If signal/noise ratio is bad, I drop this list from such service to keep others running. There are also other reasons The mistake was that I forget that I am not anymore reading support list. I sent out two those our standard replies accordnig to our internal policy before I realized what I am doing. I want to apologize in public for doing such mistake. This is NOT MySQL policy and never will be. MySQL public list remains open, free and there will be developers answering part time of their workday. Please forgive me.

If someone have right to reorder one table then relationships to other tables will be broken. auto_increment is totally technical field and if you do not like holes in it, programmer should use separate column for user-readable values additionally to auto_increment. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Mr. Tonu Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Security Administrator /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Hong Kong, China ___/ www.mysql.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: characters supported in MySQL fields
Michael Collins wrote: I understand that any ASCII character can be stored within any of the non-numeric type fields. Does this mean just characters 1-255? No, MySQL supports also multibyte character sets used in Asian countries. This means much wider range than 256. What happens if I try to import a non-ASCII character, let say, into a VARCHAR field? Is it discarded or will I simply not be able to get into a MySQL field in the first place? Nothing bad happens. Just MySQL will decide later how to use it in ORDER BY clauses by character set stuff. Byte is byte. In addition, do all of the following need to be escaped before being insert into a database? \0 An ASCII 0 (NUL) character \n A newline character \t A tab character You should use mysql_real_escape_string() C API function. This will escape now and in future all needed stuff. If you still need explanation about escaping, read the manual on http://www.mysql.com. There is surely section describing what should be escaped. In other words, am I correct that none of these characters can be stored in a MySQL string field (such as CHAR, VARCHAR, or TEXT)? Yes. Problems appear when you sort those strings and they appear in wrong order. Take the manual and read about character sets and languages support. This surely helps you to avoid problems. -- -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Mr. Tonu Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Security Administrator /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Hong Kong, China ___/ www.mysql.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: connecting to mysql using tcp/ip
Richard Gibbs wrote: sorry if this is the wrong list I am a beginner user of mysql, but a few pl I know are very active in scripting using mirc, especially gaming using tcp/ip connections to game servers to find out various details. I would like to know how/if I can connect to a mysql database using tcp/ip as mirc allows connections of this type. if anyone has a few hints and/or webpages I can look at to get a good idea of where to go with this it would help immensely. be warned, I am a beginner, but my friends are not so any help at all would be appreciated. No problem about being beginner. We all be beginners sometime. About question: it is pretty senseless. mIRC is IRC client software for Wnidows as much I know. I do not care if has some kind of scripting made on it but there is still no relationship with MySQL database. Yes MySQL uses TCP/IP but you are trying to make something incompatible by idea.If you need database, forget about mIRC. If you need IRC then it is not related to database I believe. -- For technical support contracts, goto https://order.mysql.com/ __ ___ ___ __ / |/ /_ __/ __/ __ \/ /Mr. Tonu Samuel [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /|_/ / // /\ \/ /_/ / /__ MySQL AB, Security Administrator /_/ /_/\_, /___/\___\_\___/ Hong Kong, China ___/ www.mysql.com - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

Re: tables locked

I am the only user on this database and I change records correctly (as I do it for other programs on other databases). Does somebody have this problem ? Can you explain me how to unlock tables and records with MySQL ? Is it a bug in Borland Delphi ou BDE ? Is it a bug in MyODBC ? Is it a bug in MySQL ? Is it a bug in my program (I don't see where I could have make an error... but it's a possibility) ? You did not included enough information to solve your problem. But I can thing we can solve it easily if you give us output of mysqladmin processlist while the problem exists. I think we can read out the problem from there.
