Re: How do you backup HUGE tables?

Re: question about natural join
The natural join will JOIN on *all* the fields whose names match, not just the ones you want it to. In particular, the JOIN is matching up .expires and .expires with = You then use WHERE to get only the ones with This is a tautology: There are NO records both = and on the field .expires. You don't really want a natural JOIN here. And, honestly, natural JOIN generally ends up being problematic sooner or later. You end up adding some kind of field to both tables that should not be included (last_update, e.g.) and suddenly your query isn't right any more. Stick with the explicit WHERE clauses that make it crystal clear what your query does.

Re: Data Inconsistent
Why are A and B letting you cram NULL into a column declared NOT NULL? Are your schemas consistent on A/B/C? Perhaps 5.0.32 does not enforce NOT NULL properly? Some tweak to config may change this?

Re: installation nightmare
First of all, you are using a ports distribution system from BSD which means that you are not dealing with MySQL directly but with a BSD API layer on top of MySQL for installation. So much of your issues may end up being a BSD problem, not a MySQL problem at all. If the BSD scripts that are supposed to keep your fingers out of the installation gears are confusing you when you read the MySQL instructions that tell you how to turn the cranks without getting your fingers in the gears, then maybe you need to stop and find docs that are specific to BSD install of MySQL or install from source which matches the docs. That said, it sounds like you skipped the step about flush privileges And, once you set the root password, you need to add -p to mysql (and others) to ask it to prompt you for your password. It would help a great deal if you could more clearly document what you did, and where things FIRST went wrong, and STOP THERE and post instead of moving forward and then rambling on about how bad everything is and dumping several different issues into a giant rant. It makes it very difficult for anybody to help you when you do that. Also makes people less likely to WANT to help you, which is an even bigger issue. :-) There is no need to start/stop the server, but you MUST flush the privileges after you change them. Or, if you prefer, swat the fly with a cannon and stop/start the server. :-) -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org

You may want UNIQUE JOB.id_enc or somesuch, because this will get TWO JOBs each, since one is cyan and one is magenta.

You are, of course, welcome to your opinion, and to the expression of said opinion. You are also liable to be judged on the basis of that expression, and frankly, your expression leaves me wondering about your wisdom and your analytical capabilities, not to mention your social skills. What - you work for NuShpere. My analysis of this affair is correct. It comes down to trust I TRUST MONTY. I do not trust Brit, and man who has abused the GPL, abused the MYSQL trademark, and broke the trust between the two partners. What do I base that trust on 6 years of contant communication and dependency of the MYSQL staff and my PERSONAL relationship with Monty and his Fella's as he called them. Furthmore, the assumption that under any condition NuSphere BROUGHT the right to open up shop directly under the MYSQL name and conduct independent sales, promotion and business, is damn off the wall, far fetched, and ridicules to asume, that you'd have to be a complete utter moron to beleive this report, and in addition, the report should be playing tomorrow afternoon on the Opra show, and be reported right next to the alien abduction story in the National Enquirer. Furthermore, their behavior secondary to this, and the proposition that they opened the mysql.org site as a Community site flies right in the face of the proposition forwarded by NuShpere that they opened the site with full rights to do so under previous agreements because they purchased control over the MYSQL trademark because they did in secret, then protested they had they right ot, after saying it was a communitee site, and then finally, they release they're Gemini code on it, only after 100's of people complained that they were violating the GPL. This is NOT the actions of an honest person...period... No We need NuSphere to admit their wrongs, make a blanket apology, and everyone can call a no harm no foul, and forget it happened.

Re: mysql.org
The greatest asset to using the MYSQL product over the years has been this mailing list and Monty's personal efforts to answer almost every question, no matter how stupid or repetitive, patiently and accurately. It's blown my mind to see him working so hard on handling the enormous communications on this list. He alone has given more technical support, provided more training, and is responsible for more enlightenment than the entire Tech Support hotline of MicroSoft. All that work is essentially values in the good name MYSQL provides for the code base. Nusphere, IMO, in this matter, is a theif, in addition to clearly violating the GPL under a ridicules pretense. Monty Widus, even GPL Czar... are you out of your mind Give me a break. When NuShpere was in NYC for the last Linux expo, they gave a presentation on Gemini. They clearly indicated that they are hacking at the MYSQL code base. They said NOTHING about making these estenssions propiatory only, and insisted that they planned on a server oriented business model through support. This action by them is a 100% turn around. SHAME SHAME SHAME on youi, NuSphere, for burning up valuable and scarce economic resources on legal mumbo jumbo NuSphere has ZERO chance on winning. And if they did win, the entire Free Software movemnt would undermined. Ruben I would like to whole heartedly add my support to this statement, I feel that Gerry has summed up perfectly everything I would like to say. We have been using MySQL for well over a year now and have found it to be a fast, reliable, efficient and scalable product. I happily recommend the use of it to colleagues and use it in my corporate work and when advising charities. The efforts of the developers shine through in the excellent performance of this product.

It is sad to see that NuSphere have taken it upon themselves to attempt to steal your intellectual property and try to benefit from all of the MySQL team's hard work. My company has been licensing using MySQL for development of our products for the past 18 months or so and I have had nothing but good things to say about MySQL. You are a credit to the open source community and I believe you have found the perfect balance with MySQL for both open source and commercial users. Your comments that you totally rely on the trust of your users is admirable and very much appreciated by many people I am sure. However, being the human race, there are always people that are going to take liberties and abuse such trust. I hope that your legal defence is swift and successful and does not cause too much disruption to your day to day business. As far as I am concerned, if NuSphere are selling a product derived from MySQL, then they should be paying MySQL.com a license fee to ensure that the professionals that are responsible for the creation of MySQL can continue to develop MySQL. We *embed* MySQL into our products and pay commercial license fees for the use of MySQL. Having dealt with MySQL at a commercial level, I can honestly say that, there is absolutely no excuse for what NuSphere have done. Your licensing policies have been totally fair, non-restrictive and realistic. Needless to say, You have our full support and rest assured I, or anyone who works at my company will not have anything to do with either mysql.org or NuSphere now or in the future.

Re: Re: mysql.org
database,sql,query,table Now most of us in/using Open Source probably do not _really_ understand the meaning and ramifications of the GPL. We _think_ we know, and we certainly have a feeling about what the GPL means. Oh Bull Making a derived work from a GPL product and not releasing it under the GPL is the very definition of a GPL violation, Ironically, Richard Stallman's take is, in a legal sense, crystal clear compared with the GPL. NuSphere indicated that is was going to put their products under the GPL. They have indicated that Gemini will be GPL's. Are they to be punished for being late in doing so? Yes They are releasing the produce for sale and it MUST be imediately released under the GPL. Read the licence. NuSphere supports Open Source and is public on this position. Not that I see so far. The irony of this situation is that it _may_ be to the advantage of the Open Source community if NuSphere is not knee-jerked pilloried, and tarred and feathered out of the minds of the Open Source community.
