mysql vs fedora-kde-akonadi Q

2009-03-14 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings;

I'm an absolute newbie at databases.  Originally I installed mysql because it 
was needed by mythtv, and with a lot of help I got that to work, although 
mythtv itself is yet another story.

Then I messed up x and was forced to upgrade from my fedora 8 install to
fedora 10.  Then I installed the mysql rpms over the top of the original 
tarball build and did not lose the working configs I had, they still work just 
fine I think.

But kde uses a utility to manage some things for kmail, and it starts this 
service called akonadi.  So I as root, run mysqladministrator and setup a user 
named akonadi using that for a passwd,  then I setup akonadi to use akonadi as 
a login name and passwd.

That doesn't work, akonadi fails to login and exits.  And kmail continues on 
its merry way without it.  Using the aussie dictionary for spell  checking 
regardless of what I set it to.

However, that leaves about a 20 second delay, and a bunch of error advisory 
window boxes to close.

How can I discover what is wrong?  I don't even know if either of these apps 
keeps a logfile.  Or where if they do.  I need help.

Thanks everybody.

Locked myself out

2004-03-29 Thread Gene H. Dreher
I seem to have locked myself out of my database.  RH8/4.0.18-standard ... the key user 
does not have file/reload/etc access.  and no access at all to database mysql..

Is there some way to break this down as system root or is the only solution to delete 
the whole thing and re-install it?

FW: So Slowly

2004-03-26 Thread Gene H. Dreher
I have a myisam database on a little Redhat 8 Celeron P3-866 with less than 256MB of 
ram.  (Schema attached).  While response for single table queries is excellent.  
(Double table queries are also mostly good.)  More real world (ie complex) queries are 
glacial in their execution.  

My suspicion is that the either I have the database "tuned" wrong, (which one of these 
buttons do I push and how much) 
or the machine is just terribly underpowered.   (I could try this on a dual P3-1ghz 
server with 2gb ram, but the microsofters will whine.) 

The tuning parameters are set at defaults... (not touched since rpm install).  4.0.18 
database version.


The schema isn't special, but the file is too big for the mail system...

Performance Koan

2004-03-21 Thread Gene H. Dreher
I've got 2 Redhat 8 machines with 4.0.1 (? latest) database.   Machine1 is a P3-750, 
Machine2 is a P4-1.6  .. The same database is deployed to both machines using myisam 
tables.   Query on Machine 1 takes almost 2 min to produce data.  Same query on 
Machine2 returns in 5 seconds... ? Why?  (I don't expect the same, but close would be 
nice.)

error 1064

2001-09-12 Thread Gene Gurevich

Hi all:

I'm trying to import the tables from the dump file
via 

mysqldump testdb < exp 

and it complaints about the command in the export
file:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS db;
CREATE TABLE db (
  Host char(60) NOT NULL default '',
  Db char(64) NOT NULL default '',
  User char(16) NOT NULL default '',
  Select_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Insert_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Update_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Delete_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Create_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Drop_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Grant_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  References_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Index_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  Alter_priv enum('N','Y') NOT NULL default 'N',
  UNIQUE KEY Primary (Host,Db,User),
  KEY User (User)
) TYPE=MyISAM MAX_ROWS=1000 PACK_KEYS=1

Specifically the last three lines. The file I'm using
was created via mysqldump --add-drop-table
--all-databases. I can't understand why a file created
by a mysqldump can have any issues. Can anyone explain
that for me? Is there a error search engine on
mysql.com (something like oracle has on oracle.com)?

thanks in advance

how do I export/import the whole database

2001-09-10 Thread Gene Gurevich

HI all.

Can I export/import the whole database in MySQL.
I have exported the database into a text file.
Now when I try mysql 'database' < filename; it errors
out because column_privs table exists. I thought
mysqlimport would help, but judging by what the manual
says it only imports the single tables. What I'd like
to do is to export the database  so that i can import
it back if a table is lost or corrupted. Can I do that?

MySQL vs Oracle vs Acess

2001-08-31 Thread Gene Gurevich

Hi 

This is a very generic quesiton and I would appreciate
any info. I am an Oracle dba; our developers are now
using access for their own small projects. When these
projects grow and become too large for Access we move
them to Oracle. The developers are now considering
switching from Access to MySQL and I'm trying to
figure out what are the advantages of that move. I
have read some documentation and it looks like a big
advantage of
MySQL vs Access is multi-user access. There are also
some features that are present in Oracle but missing
in  My SQL like views, subqueries and a few other. I
was wondering if someone who has working experience in
both Access and MYSQL (or ORacle and MySQL) could
expand on the differences from practical standpoint. 

Thanks for any input

MySQL errors during high activity

2001-02-16 Thread gene

I know this has come up before, but I couldn't find a satisfactory solution.
I'm running MySQL 3.23.23 on mandrake linux.  It's used by a web site that has
very high activity.  During times of high activity, I find my perl 
scripts generating two kinds of errors:

DBD::mysql::db selectrow_array failed: Lost connection to MySQL 
server during query at ...

DBI->connect(games) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server 
through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111) at 

The MySQL log does not errors.  This happens both with Apache::DBI 
and plain DBI run at the command line.

Does anyone have advice on getting rid of these errors?


Thanks.
