Re: rescue Inno tables from an abandoned data directory?

The data directory consists of a mix of ISAM and Inno tables. I was able to copy the ISAM tables into a new 5.6 version, and they work. Assuming you mean 5.5.22 or 5.6.22, then sometimes you can recover a table without partitions with its own .ibd file (file-per-table) using the transportable tablespace features: 1. Install a fresh copy of 5.6 2. Create the table (using a normal CREATE TABLE statement). If you don't know the table definition use mysqlfrm from MySQL Utilities (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-utilities/1.6/en/mysqlfrm.html) 3. Discard the tablespace (ALTER TABLE DISCARD TABLESPACE) 4. Copy the .ibd file (make sure you work with a copy) into the new 5.6 instance (e.g. for the table db1.t1 copy to /db1/t1.ibd) 5. Import the tablespace (ALTER TABLE IMPORT TABLESPACE) There is also an example in https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-transportable-tablespace-examples.html The import in step 5. will complain that there is no .cfg file from a proper tablespace copy, but InnoDB will do a best effort to import it, and I don't think I've seen it fail if the tablespace has been valid.

The data directory consists of a mix of ISAM and Inno tables. I was able to copy the ISAM tables into a new 5.6 version, and they work. I understand that INNO tables are different because different tables share a common table space. The MySQL documentation refers to a “cold backup,” where you copy the separate files after a “slow shutdown.” It doesn’t tell you what to do with them after you’ve put them in a “safe place.” The recommendation here is that if your DB is in an inconsistent state, the last thing you want to do is break it even further. The flat OS files copy of the DD simply gives us a fallback should our recover operations on the DD make matters worse, eg via innodb_force_recovery etc In my case, I can reproduce Time machine backups of data directories at varying times. At one point I was able to replace the non-working installation with an earlier installation, but then it failed unpredictably. The steps you took and an associated error log would assist me in assisting you. Also accurate information on the version helps, 5.5.22? 5.1.22 ? as mentioned there is no 5.22. In general this approach can be taken; If the DB successfully started , then your first port of call is to perform this action again with the same DD snapshot and attempt a logical dump of any tables you wish to recover. Without knowing what state the db is in , I would recommend starting with [mysqld] innodb_force_recovery = 1 read_only skip_slave_start https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_read_only https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_skip-slave-start and seeing if you can access / dump the tables in question. If not , iterate through 2,3,4,5,6 ( in order! ) to see if that assists. If this doesn't work, try the latest version of the current tree you are on. ie if 5.5 https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/mysql/5.5/en/news-5-5-53.html failing that, hail mary it with latest 5.7, you may get lucky with TT https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/glossary.html#glos_transportable_tablespace GL Are the Inno tables on Time Machine useless, or can I rescue data from them?

Hi, you can check your file limits with $ ulimit -Hn $ ulimit -Sn The limits are configured in /etc/security/limits.conf If you google for it, you will find, how to set. After changing, new opend shells will have the new parameters. After changing them, your first error message " Changed limits: max_open_files: 1024 (requested 5000)" should be gone, maybe the next one too.

Re: Data directory in 2 platforms
On a dual boot it should work okay. I've done a similar thing, by taking the data folder from a Linux installation, copying it to a local windows computer and using a local install (same version of course) to read it. It worked fine. I would think the scenario is much the same as what you're suggesting. Any issues with the file system in Linux would be the same in windows as well (filename length, etc..) so if it's working in windows, it should work fine in Linux too. However, before committing, try it out with backed up data of course! -Micah On 12/24/2007 01:15 PM, Ahmad AlTwaijiry wrote: Good morning everyone, If I want to run MySQL server in Windows and Linux OS (dual boot desktop), but I want to make the data directory (the one that has all the databases tables and information) in one shared VFAT filesystem so if I create a database while I'm running in Linux and then reboot to windows and start mysql server I can see the database with all the tables from windows my concerns are: 1. is it possible to share the data directory in more than one OS ? 2.

protecting sensitive info in data directory
i am working on a data collection system for an epidemiological study.
the study holds among other things sensitive personal information. the
personal info is stored in ONE table (i am using innodb_file_per_table)
which we encrypt and wipe after the server is shutdown.
the question is, where else could this data sit on disk? since i am new
to MySQL, i am trying to get clear on the log files, what they contain,
which ones hold data. i gather if we want to be able to perform
rollbacks, we would need to keep the log files around, and since they
store SQL transactions, we would have to encrypt (and wipe) them as
well after the data collection session is over and server is shut down.
right now i see ib_logfile{0,1}files and an ibdata1 file in addition to
our *.frm and *.ibd tables. need we encrypt the *.frm files as well?
which of the ibXXX files need we encrypt? are there any other MySQL
files ANYWHERE that i should be aware of? Does MySQL ever write anything
to the Windows temp directories? (Windows only app)
yes, i am aware of MySQL encryption on a per field basis. we were asked
to encrypt the whole table.
many thanks

Apologies, I didn't read your initial posting properly. Perhaps a glance
at this http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqld-multi.html would
provide you the facilities that you require for using multiple servers.
This work well and enables you to manage the multiple global
configuration files required.

And I have a tar.gz 'mysql-standard-5.0.21-osx10.4-powerpc.tar.gz',
and the script below is called 'update-mysql.sh', this:
# update-mysql.sh mysql-standard-5.0.21-osx10.4-powerpc.tar.gz
Updates mysql to version 5.0.21. All I have to do manually is remove
the directory with the old version. I'm sure I could automate that
also but I thought it was good enough like this.

How to move the MySQL data directory?
Hello, I've just wanted to update MySQL 5.0 on my test machine that will be a productive server very soon. But upgrading MySQL like installing it after MySQL's guide brings a problem: I'd need to move the data directory to the new programme directory every time. So I want to move the datadir outside the application's directory, from /usr/local/mysql5/data (with mysql5 being a symlink to mysql-5.0.xx-...) to /var/mysql5/data. So I moved the entire data directory to the new location and tried to start the MySQL server. After a while printing out dots, it says ERROR! and that's it. When I have tried it with MySQL 4.0 and after adding some more of the suppressed output to the scripts, it seems like the startup script expects at least the mysql database to be located inside $basedir/data/mysql which of course is not what I meant to do. Is this true that MySQL wants all its databases to be inside the programme directory? Is there any other way to move the datadir out there without hacking all the scripts - over and over with each update? (Then I could just as well move the datadir each time...) -- Yves Goergen LonelyPixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to move the MySQL data directory?
Well, moving the datadir to the new MySQL 5.0.21 directory, messing around with all the stupid symlinks, it seems I have finally managed to delete that datadir... It was empty anyway, yet, but this is an extremely dangerous task. So I really need to move the datadir to a safe place, outside all that symlinked chaos. With that done, what is the proposed upgrade method anyway? 1. unpack the tarball to /usr/local/mysql-$version 2. chown root:mysql it all (what for, actually?) 3. stop the server 4. update the symlink /usr/local/mysql5 to the new directory 5. start the server Would that be okay? -- Yves Goergen LonelyPixel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://beta.unclassified.de – My web laboratory. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: How to move the MySQL data directory?

RE: Newbie Query: Error starting MySQL..changed Data Directory
Running /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start says that mysql start failed BUT This doesn't nesessarily mean that mysql hasn't started. This script waits only for certain time to check if mysql has started or not. If it is not started in that time, it simply says 'mysql start failed'. But mysql may take some more time to come up. So the best practice is to have a look at the logs (as you rightly did) to find out what exactly is going on. And your logs anyway are saying /usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.. This means that mysql has started without any problems and waiting for connections. ps -aux shows that mysql is running And for the same reason I mentioned above, you are seeing this.

RE: Changing Data Directory
Just an FYI, but you can also specify at startup of mysqld by passing the --datadir option. This will override what is in your option file, until the next restart. -Original Message- From: Arunas Milaauskas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 8:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Changing Data Directory in my.cnf: [mysqld] datadir=/var/lib/mysql -Original Message- From: Daniel Kiss [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 3:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Changing Data Directory Hi all, How can I change the directory of the databases?

RE: how to change default data directory
Hi Sanjay, I see two ways to proceed : 1 - after install, move or copy (with -R option) your actual datadir under /var/lib/mysql (that is to say all the directories located under /var/lib/mysql/*) to /var1/lib/mysql, and then modify in your my.cnf the variable datadir=/var1/lib/mysql to correspond with the new directory. NOTE : stop the mysqld daemon before copying or moving directories. 2 - before install, configure in your my.cnf the futur directory to use with the variable datadir=/var1/lib/mysql; then place it under /etc/ - this cause the script scripts/mysql_install_db to find in /etc/my.cnf the datadir to use. After install, you'll see that the directories mysql and test are placed under /var1/lib/mysql/ Hope this help Thierno6C -Original Message- From: sanjay gupta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: jeudi 4 septembre 2003 09:35 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: how to change default data directory Hi All , I am using RH7.1 box .

NAS vs SAN for data directory
Hello All, I am trying to decide which storage I should use for the Data Directory. My application has lots of 'SELECT's (80%) and fewer UPDATEs/INSERTs(20 %). I have the following choices of Data storage 1) Xiotech SAN (66 Mhz FCAL) 2) NAS 3) Internal SCSI 3 RAID 5 Will I achieve any better performance using one storage vs the other storage? In the past (for about 2 years), I have I used SAN with 33Mhz FCAL, and the performance has been quite exceptional. And I have encountered no problems. Any suggestions?

RE: NAS vs SAN for data directory
Well, I would avoid NAS as it introduces unwanted overhead when accessing the data. As for SAN versus the internal RAID5, I am not sure, I would say benchmark the two and see which comes out better, or wait to see if there is anyone out there that has dealt with both.

Re: NAS vs SAN for data directory
Avoid NAS... that's like dealing with mysql via NFS ... Internal raid depending on controller type and disk configuration could be faster than an external SAN... But chances are external SAN has alot more scalability as far as adding more controller, cabinets and disks... If it was my choice and you've had great success with SAN's before as mentioned .. stay the route...

Hi Guys, I am a newbie to MySQL administratation. I just setup MySQL in my linux machine and want to change the data directory from /var/lib/mysql to something else. I put the .my.cnf file in the /etc/ directory and specified the parameter datadir=/home/mysql but it gives me an error invalid option. Any help is appreciated.

Data Directory
I installed MySQL4.0 source on my redhat7.2 linux server it compiled and make intall fine with no problems execpt that i chose to install it in /databases/mysql/ rather than /usr/local/mysql/ so i did this by typing this instead ./configure --prefix=/database/mysql rather than ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql My problem is, when it was done building and installing, 5 directories were not in the /database/mysql directory but they were in the untared and ungziped directory: the directories are the following scripts,include,support-files,tests,and var. I had to manually copy and paste the directories into the /database/mysql directory. When I executed scripts/mysql_install_db, it ran but the mysql directory was missing mysql/data directory and so was the untared and ungzipped directory basically it was nowhere. Is there something im missing. Thanks Sagine _ Visit our Caribbean Community at http://www.islanderonline.com _ Run a small business?

Mike Well, may be I'm missing something - I'm preparing such a huge base for Mike a 1st time - but except of DATA DIRECTORY it's only RAID mechanism that Mike lets you use few disks and not fail after OPTIMIZE TABLE.

And also, if your disks are not equal, Mike like 8GB and 18GB and all big tables are raid-ed seems like a big part Mike of the bigger drive will always be empty - beause Raid writes equal Mike portions of data. RAID was mainly designed to help overcome the 2G limit on old Linux filesystems, not to split things across many disks (even if it can be used for this on Linux).

Hello guys!
I'm sorry to report a small problem with the newest MySQL-4.0.0 that
looks like a bug for me.
This is a very-very nice and awaited feature DATA/INDEX DIRECTORY in the
CREATE TABLE statement. On my Win95 it creates .MYD file but
immediatelly fails in the 1st INSERT statement reporting
g:\mysql-4.0.0\binmysqlc ranks G:\_patrick\test1.sql
ERROR 1105 at line 32: File '.\ranks\test1.MYD' not found (Errcode: 2)
Line 32 is the first INSERT.
I tried to import an SQL file with
CREATE TABLE test1 (
...
)TYPE=MyISAM MAX_ROWS=4294967295 PACK_KEYS=1
DATA DIRECTORY=G:\\mysql-4.0.0\\data\\r2;
INSERT INTO test1 VALUES ('referer - pages per
visitor',998092800,1,1,28,38,6,26);
etc.
The file was created by mysqldump - so, no errors, I just added
DATA DIRECTORY=G:\\mysql-4.0.0\\data\\r2;
Yes, I tried it both in Win32 and forward-slash form like
DATA DIRECTORY=G:/temp;
same error.
And it kinda could not understand any relative path at all
DATA DIRECTORY=./r2;
gives
ERROR 1103 at line 11: Incorrect table name './r2'
DATA DIRECTORY=r2;
gives
ERROR 1103 at line 11: Incorrect table name 'r2'
In the last two cases even .MYD file has never been created.
That's it.
Thanks... and many thanks - to all of you at Mysql AB
