RE: automated character set conversions for tables
Hello Jerry, Thanks for the reply. You are right. Thats why it finally took me 10-12 work hours to convert a single DB (split over two work days) to a UTF-8 compliant version.

automated character set conversions for tables
Hello fellow MySQL friends, I recently had the fun to convert some 60 tables within a DB f.e. from latin1 to UTF8. I did a DB conversion before that with ALTER DATABASE db_name CHARACTER SET utf8 That worked wonderfully, except not as expected. ;-) It basically converted only the database itself. so I had to do a separate ALTER TABLE ... for each table. Are you aware of a much smarter way to do this ?

Innobase sold to Oracle ?
Hi MySQL fans, I just read in the news about Innobase being sold to Oracle.

What Oracle will do with Innobase is Oracle's matter, not much use in speculating about that IMO.

Re: Innobase sold to Oracle ?
Hi Doug, Thanks for the reply. That is more or less what I was thinking too. (especially the ANT rant ;-) I would be looking forward to read the paper in case its published one day. Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan http://www.be-known-online.com Quoting Douglas K. Fischer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: speculating about that IMO.

I of course cannot speak for MySQL or any of the other affected parties, but I have been very interested in this issue as we have many high-profile clients who are going to start asking the same kinds of questions very soon. As such, I have tried to be on top of this as much as possible and will share what I believe: Short-term, there is no real impact. MySQL and Innobase have an existing contract that runs (approximately - don't know the exact date) through the end of next year. As such, the existing terms will stay in place through then at the minimum. The only potential impact before then would involve the level of participation in Innobase employees with troubleshooting, patching, and new InnoDB features. However, from what I have heard third-hand, Heikki is continuing to assist as before. All in all, I do not believe any MySQL customers have anything to be concerned with before the end of next year. I agree that at this point in time, it is impossible to tell exactly what Oracle may or may not do with InnoDB. The exact terms of the purchase of Innobase have not been disclosed, so it is unknown if they are going to just acquire the rights to InnoDB and send Innobase employees packing, if they are going to employ the Innobase employees, if they are going to continue active development of InnoDB, etc. Any guesses or statements by anyone other than upper management at Oracle is mere speculation. I can come up with a number of possible scenarios, but none of them result in a dead in the water situation for any MySQL customers. Also, there are a number of things MySQL can do to hedge their bets against any decision Oracle may make regarding the future disposition of InnoDB. My advice is to not worry too much about the Oracle situation for now. Give MySQL some time to work through their options and let the MySQL-Oracle relationship do what it may. I have started working on an internal whitepaper to discuss the situation without all the FUD some journalists and some other DB companies (think ANTs) have started throwing around and to present a list of what I believe to be the most likely outcomes based upon what is publicly known and what options exist for MySQL and Oracle to take in this matter. Depending upon what information may be out by then and on whether or not I can get permission from upper management to release this paper into the open, I would be willing to share my analysis openly. I certainly understand the concerns that people have with this development, but it is truly too early to make a knowledgable call - to do so would be akin to speculating the World Series winner on opening day.

Re: How do you become a MySQL DBA
Hi Mark, That is actually a very interesting question. I found the "Certification study guide" from Paul DuBois an indispensible guide. Other then what you would expect from a "study guide" it does actually go much further than just preparing you for an exam. You will get a whole lot of new ideas how to use and administrate your db. I am not sure, if the current version of the book still contains the 50$ discount exam voucher (which would basically oay for the book if you would be going to take an exam ;-) If you ned to spend the bugs of your company, why dont you opt for a support contract directly from MySQL.

I try to work with MySQL as much as possible, but I work with one of those large telco's that does not like anything where they can't pay large amounts of money. This means I have to work it into my spare time. I've been trying to tie MySQL into basic services: ftp, DSPAM, pop3, AND offer help for what we do have: running backups and repairing the odd table when needed. But the question is, what else could I do to help develope DBA skills?

About the hardware may I recommend 64 bit Opteron systems and scsi drives (array). Performancewise you have many options to stretch MySQLs legs. - Merge table format (for non transactions) - Raid options included in MySQL - Replication - Cluster Filesystem from MySQL - A REAL Cluster One thing that surprise me is that you obviously dont use transactions.

Re: license question
Hi Pat, I thought that was discussed before over and over on this mailinglist. I am surprised that many people have isues with that topic. Basically it boils down to 2 questions. 1) Will you include and ditsribute the source code and the changes (if any) and the GPL license in your product ? If yes, than you DONT need a commercial license. if NO, (in other words you dont want to publish any changes you made to the code) then you need a commercial license. 2) Are you selling the product or a service ? If you are trying to sell the customer the very same MySQL product for $$ that he can download, then you must be good at sales, no questions asked. If you are selling a service (Consulting, Installation and setup etc. than you also dont need a commercial license ( + same as under 1 applies). Summary: You only need the commercial license if you change the code and want to distribute it as closed source. You can however at any time make a support contract or buy a commercial license to show your gratitude for the MySQL guys. That is usually a nice gesture, gets you support and backup when you need it and last but not least makes you feel good (peace of mind ;-). I hope that makes things clearer. Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan http://www.be-known-online.com Suppose i distribute MySQL-4.1 with an appliance, which is a sealed x86 machine running a Linux distribution made by another entity (ok, it's Red Hat). I don't write any code that's directly linked to MySQL, I'm only using the existing php-mysql, etc., packages already provided by the distribution, plus some third-party apps that are under GPL and link to MySQL (applications that access MySQL, not written by me, but are Open Source GPL projects off SourceForge and other places - i just bundle them with the appliance). Any code that I write personally is PHP and sits on top of the php-mysql module provided by Red Hat. The end-user has no direct visibility to the database, in fact, the end-user might never know it's MySQL - all that is visible is the PHP interface, via Apache. In this case, what's the license?

If not how can I still have concurrent read access to the database while mysqlimport is running? Correct me if I am wrong, but the write request has privilege. So ANY read request is queued until the write request finishes. Otherwise you would get inconsistent read results.

Re: MySQL license and GPL
Hi Lotte, MySQL's dual License policu is very simple. If you use the GPL license than you have to show the source code (modified or not), and include the Copyright info when passing the code on. If you dont want to do this (or in other words if you want to keep your modifications hidden) than you need a commercial license. So if you use mysql within your commercial product and sell it as a package and want to hide how/if you modified or improved the mysql source code than you will need the commercial license. Does that make sense ? Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan Hello, My understanding of the GPL license is that if you link your own software with GPL-licensed software, then the GPL forces you to release the whole thing under GPL. I am a bit confused that MySQL seems to require that even stand-alone applications are released as open source. Does MySQL have a more strict interpretation of the GPL? Or is the license on the MySQL GPL + more terms? Or?

RE: list of error codes
Hi Emmett, Please try http://www.be-known-online.com/mysql/ Note that this error list is for the Linux version (parts differs for another OS). More error descriptions can be found in the header files. (forgot currently which ones). If you search the forum for error codes and my name than you will find the info (roughly a year+ old) perror (the way I remember it) will only cover a limited scope of the errors (ca.10%) Best regards Nils Valentin [snip] I looked around and didn't see documentation of MySQL error codes.

Re: Mysql upgrade problem 3.23 to 4.1
Hi Jerry,
Did you read the documentation ?
It explains that you have to upgrade the mysql database wqith the
mysql_fix_privileges script.
Best regards

I upgraded mysql mysql-3.23.58-1 to mysql4.1
In mysql-3.23 ( I have this field)
password | varbinary(45) | YES | | NULL
|
I inserted data into this field as password('pass').
I have php script that checks if login valid. mysql-3.23 and
mysql-4.1 have identical data.
It worked on mysql-3.23 but doesn't work on mysql4.1. Password don't
match.
Any ideas why?

Re: Debian package of MySQL 4.1
Hi Ryan, Just making sure : Its not an issue with old style and new style passwords like between version 3.x and 4.1.x ? (I asume you did upgrade from an older version and did run the tables upgrade script ) Soory for the insulting question, but this came straight into my head when I read your question, especially as you said you could set the root password. Actually, I would need much more detail to really troubleshoot your problem, but its an educated geuss what I am doing here ;-) Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo / Japan http://www.be-known-online.com Hello all: I am running Debian woody and am using the Debian package for MySQL 4.1. I am trying to set the root password but nothing appears to work. Apparently I managed to set it but now I cannot login with what I set it to. So I have followed the directions to reset a root password (start MySQL with --skip-grant-tables and use mysqladmin to reset the password). I have been using MySQL for a couple of years and this method has always worked. Has anybody else encountered this problem with the Debian MySQL 4.1 package? It is 'experimental', after all. And yes, I would much rather use the Debian package than install a MySQL binary, for a number of reasons.

Re: MySQL support for AMD64
Hi Lynn, If you look in the archives you will find some strong recommendations agianst RH and for Suse (performance reasons). (Look for "AMD 64 bit" or "perfomance") I am personally using Debian (sid) which you may not want to do for your production ;-). Suse 9.2 unfortunately seems to be quite buggy (mostly obvious things) That starts with the installation itself. http://www.be-known-online.com/ http://www.be-known-online.com/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=46 Shows some of my personal notes. Dont expect anything spectacular. Anyway I hope that you may find the info useful. BTW I am not running anything near Terabyte operations. Best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo/ Japan I just received a box with the following specs: Dual AMD64 8G ram Two 3ware 2.4 terabyte RAID 5 arrays. My company has been using Redhat for most of its production machines. 1. Does anyone have any success/horror stories running MySQL 4.0.x on RHES 3/ AMD64? 2. Does anyone have alternate recommendations for running MySQL databases in the terabyte range on AMD64? Thanks Lynn Bender UnsubCentral Secure Email List Suppression Management Neutral. Bonded.

Re: Storing foreign characters in DB
Hello Rhino, I am not sure how familiar you are with the character set settings. I am not using 3.xx versions anymore, but if I remember correctly they only allow a limited control for setting character sets. Your best guess might be the documentation that comes with your installation. (Man pages, Info, Chapter 11 of the MySQL docs. etc.) You can view it also online http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Charset.html but as this is the newest version, you will have to filter out what doesnt apply to your version yet. In order to be able to give you any advice you need to be more specific. Which character sets are set now for the server and the client as default ? Are the "foreign characters" in the same character set ? Are you attempting to store the "foreign character" together with your default characters in the same table / same DB ? You may also read through my presentation "Using MySQL in a Japanese environment" which can be found here http://www.be-known-online.com/mysql I am not sure if this really helps you, as I dont yet fully understand were to start trouble shooting. If you could be a bit more specific that would help a lot. best regards Nils Valentin Tokyo/Japan - Original Message - From: "MySQL" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "MySQL" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 2:05 AM Subject: Storing foreign characters in DB I'm having a problem figuring out how to deal with foreign characters in text that was copied from an MS Word document and pasted into a form field, then stored in a MySQL DB. (I have MySQL 3.23.58 running). I'm not how sure how these characters are being stored in the MySQL database, but, when I retrieve the text and run it through PHP's htmlentities() function, each foreign character is converted into 2 other foreign characters that don't at all represent the original. For example, a lowercase u with an umlat over it (? is somehow displayed as an uppercase A with an umlat over it followed by the 1/4 symbol after parsed by htmlentities(). A lowercase o with an ulmat displays as an uppercase A with an umlat over it followed by the paragraph symbol. It seems that the uppercase A w/umlat is a constant, and the next character changes. How are these foreign characters being stored in the DB? Do I need to do something in order to store these characters properly, or is this something I need to somehow do on the PHP side of things?? -- Have you looked at the manual, particularly the Localization and International Usage section at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Localisation.html?

Re: Core Certification
Hi Arjun, I have taken both exams (July and August 2002). The best advice I can give you is to get your hands on the Mysql Certificate study guide coming out in 2 months (from Paul Dubois). I had the chance to preview bits of it and I believe that it will be a VERY good help. Just read through it carefully and playaround with the system at the same time to practice the read things. The exam which I was taking was beta at that time. It was hard but fair I felt. Take your time when reading the guide question the details mentioned (or not) in the book to get a really good grasp of the subject. Thats the best you can do, do get into the exam relaxed and without any unneccesary pressure.
