When to upgrade?

2001-12-31 Thread uzi

Hi!

I want to solute a hanging problem and I want to upgrade to a newer 
version. Actually I'm using the 3.23.39 on a SunOS 5.6 sparc Ultra-5_10

Should I wait to the 4.x version? How long will a stable version take 
to be published?

Or should I upgrade to 3.23.47?

Thank you!!

Hang up when loading a LOT of data

2001-12-27 Thread uzi

Hi!

I'm having a strange problem. I use MySQL just to serve two hundred 
small tables. They are very static, I update them once a week. And 
small, about 40Mb of total disk space used. A few people use this 
tables, always with MyODC from Access from a Windows platform.

Two weeks ago I needed to load a lot of data just to make some 
statistics. A lot of data means 60 Million registers, 30 text files of 
500 Mbytes each to import.

I started to import with mysqlimpor from another machine. Then I tried 
first to FTP the file and then import with mysqlimport locally. Finally 
I tried to FTP the file and import it from inside mysql with 'load data 
infile...'. 

With all this methods I had the same problem. I import one file, two 
files, etc. But then the process just hangs (meaning that takes 10 
times the usual time and no other querys can be done).

Sometimes I can´t even enter to mysql from command line. Sometimes I 
can enter, and if I show the processes, they look like working. If I 
kill them, and show the processes again, they look like 'Killed', but 
are still there, with the Time counting and with the mysqld using 99% 
of the processor (viewing with 'top').

Always, the only way to recover the server is a 'kill -9' to the 
processes of the mysqld.

Could you please help me? 

Installation data:
Server version: 3.23.39
Uname -a: SunOS 5.6 Generic_105181-16 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-
5_10

Thank you very much!!
