MY only luck is that i recognized this years ago after PLAYING
with innodb and so i started with innodb_file_per_table=1 from
the begin with the first production database

And are then the table-files in the directories with frm, or in the 
directory where ibdata1 is?

If the latter, one problem is exchanged for another.

help needed restoring crashed mysql

2011-11-29 Thread Luis Pugoy
Hello. I have the following problem.

I was importing a large database to mysql using mysqldump. Unfortunately
this filled up the whole disk, and mysqldump exited with an error that the
table it is currently writing to is full. Checking df -h it shows that the
disk usage is at 100%. I decided to drop the database I was importing, but
rechecking df -h shows that it is still at 100%. I then looked for the
cause of this and found a very large file under /var/lib/mysql. I think it
is ibdata1. I deleted it and rechecked df -h, but it is stll at 100%. I
then stopped mysql and finally the output of df -h was correct. However,
when I try to restart mysql it outputs the following errors in the error
log; it is in the attached file.

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=16777216
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=0
max_threads=151
threads_connected=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 345919 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

ibdata1 does NEVER get smaller, this is normal and a hughe problem
in your case, only if you are using innodb_file_per_table which
is NOT default would retire the space after drop tables

why is this dumb innodb_file_per_table=0 default since MOST PEOPLE

Hi...

The logic behind this is probably that without innodb_file_per_table=1
and with several large ibdata files, the space IS freed up when one does
optimize table or drop table.  The space is freed up inside the database
files and can be reused.  

If we think about it, the database product should only resolve problems of
the database space management, not of the OS space management.   Then, 
the user essentially asked InnoDB to keep allocating arbitrary amount of space
as needed, ignoring that the OS disk is actually of the limited size.  To be
correct about it, the user should have stated that the ibdata file should have a
firm limit and not autoextend beyond that. 

This is not to say that MySQL could not  have more of the file management 
features.  For example, the ability to add or remove datafiles on the fly and 
the
ability to detach tablespaces as collections of tables.   

Making innodb tablespaces default... well, it still would not liberate the users
from thinking whether they want to run with them enabled or not.   For example, 
if I have 1 tables of 100 bytes each, I probably do not want tablespaces. 
If I have 1% of tables consuming 99% of the space, I would also not want the
tablespaces. 

As for the OP's problem, unless he changed his mind about the need to import, 
the same amount of space would anyway be consumed.   The solution would 
probably be to find some bigger O Sdisk and copy that ibdata file there.   
Right?

That's where MySQL(read InnoDB) got stuck actually, it never introduced a
powerful datafiles management system,
and that is where Oracle excels (as far as being almost a O.S.) with
multiple level of abstractions, just think of ASM.
It is actually the part of Oracle I like most as well as the really

 The 'problem' with MySQL is that it is so easy to start with it that

Hi... there is stuff inline there.

 optimize table or drop table.  The space is freed up inside the database
 files and can be reused.

I did not say it is the right thing to not have an option to shrink the 
database or do file management. 
I tried to explain the logic that is probably put into this product.   Another 
piece of logic is that it is 
not really typical for the databases to lose 50% of its volume.   The databases 
usually either grow, 
or can grow, or are destroyed.  In that regard the product with this feature 
lacking probably still covers 
the needs of most.  By comparison, Oracle did not provide ability to drop the 
datafiles until, eh, version 8, 
I believe, and it was not made easy until version 10.  

 
 If we think about it, the database product should only resolve problems of
 the database space management, not of the OS space management. 
 
 the database producht with default settings is the part starting
 the troubles of os-space-managment and this is idiotic, no other
 words for this!

I would say inconvenient.   As I explained above, the OS space allocation 
problems that way could 
be considered a corner case and thus be considered unimportant by MySQL 
development.   Considering 
the problem of reclaiming 1 terabyte out of 2-terabyte database, one could 
resolve it with creating a brand
new instance followed by export/import of data.   It is not that there is no 
solution, it is inconvenient to use. 

 MY only luck is that i recognized this years ago after PLAYING
 with innodb and so i started with innodb_file_per_table=1 from
 the begin with the first production database

Well, I would not base my database design on luck and playing.   There should 
be good awareness 
of what the features do and what would be the plan to deal with file 
allocations should the database
grow, shrink or somerset.  

 but the cases where ibdata1 is growing becasue ONCE bigger
 data was stored and never release the allocated space is a
 design-problem
 

Not exactly.  A design problem is to build a server in such a way as that 
adding a feature to remove datafiles 
would be impossible (without major rebuild).   I think this one can be added.  
I didn't bother to check, but I 
would be surprised if there isn't already an enhancement request for this

Yes, Oracle has features of the known kind.   But, if we consider the wishlist 
for InnoDB, then on top there would be an
ability to add files without stopping database (that is without innodb 
tablespaces), followed by the ability to control 
which files are part of the database (information schema of that).  

It looks like at some point they have decided that the file per table thing 
will cover all needs.   Well, it doesn't.   I personally 
do not like dealing with 50G files should individual table grow to this size.   
It will be much better managed with a larger collection
of smaller files, without innodb tablespaces.   It is after I have those I 
would want the features like removing files or compacting
the database.

most peopole DO NOT care about this and not expect that

to have a whole database-server to dump/import because
you get rid of big databases

 Another piece of logic is that it is not really typical for the databases
 to lose 50% of its volume.

well, so install http://www.dbmail.org/ with replication and offsite-backups

it is to waste all this space as before multiple times in the backup-storages

Hi... and some more stuff inline. 


 
 Well, I would not base my database design on luck and playing.   There 
 should be good awareness 
 of what the features do and what would be the plan to deal with file 
 allocations should the database
 grow, shrink or somerset

I am not saying there is anything wrong with your experience.   I understand 
that people having worked with
MyISAM might have a different mindset.  But they at some point did make a 
decision to use InnoDB.   I think 
this is the time when I would ask myself a question: where is it that my data 
will be stored.   

The concept is not difficult to explain.  Most people do not expect a gas tank 
to shrink once the gas is 
consumed...right?

I didn't have a pleasure to use dbmail.   I presume it does something with mail 
users.
Thinking logically,  if I got rid of my biggest mail user, I might eventually 
get another user, 
even bigger one, which would consume the same space vacated by the deceased 
user.  
So why would I want to give up the space then?

 it did never happen to me - but i heard so many people start whining because

If the people do not have the knowledge to do exports/imports, the brand new 
and cool
file management feature will not help them either.  Essentially, the 
instructions how to use
that feature are written in the same book as the instructions how to do 
export/imports.  If we
consider it as given that people would never read, it is a dead end.

Help needed on query on multiple tables

2010-06-03 Thread Michael Stroh
Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a certain MySQL query but I'm not sure how to 
do it. Here is a stripped down version of the result I'm aiming for. I'm pretty 
new to queries that act on multiple tables, so apologize if this is a very 
stupid question.

I have one table (data) that has two columns (names and progress). I have a 
second table (items) that has two columns (names and version). I'd like to do a 
query that produces the name of every record in data that has progress set to 0 
and the number of records in the items table that have the same value in each 
table.names field.

I can perform this by using two sets of queries, one that queries the data 
table and then loop through the names to do a count(names) query, but I'm not 
sure if I can somehow do it in one query.

Thanks in advance!
Michael

How about this?

SELECT
`first_table`.`names`
, `first_table`.`version`
, (SELECT
   COUNT(`other_table`.`names`)
   FROM `other_table`
   WHERE `other_table`.`this_id` = `first_table`.`id`) AS 'count'
FROM `first_table`
WHERE `first_table`.`progress`  0;


Granted, you have not provided structure or names of the tables so this is
just my interpretation, but maybe something like this could give you a
starting point?

I am glad that I was able to help someone finally :)

There may be other ways to do this, but that was what first came to mind.
I would maybe run an explain on that query to ensure that it is using
indexes.

So connect to it from somewhere other than localhost. :-)
Specifically from the bogus IP you set it to.

Let's say you used the bogus IP of 10.200.100.20.
1. Give the mysql server the IP 10.200.100.10 and a netmask 255.255.255.0.
2. On some other machine on the same LAN, give it the bogus IP with
the same netmask.
3. No need to worry about routes, it's on the same LAN.
4. On the other machine, connect using 'mysql -h10.200.100.10 -uroot
-p'.  When you enter the correct password, it should let you in.

* I don't know if you'll need to restart mysql for it to bind to the
new IP.  I don't think so, but then again I have not tested it.

When you are in without the flag , issue the following:

Select current_user();

It should return root.
Then do this:
Grant all privileges on *.* 'root'@'%' identified by 'letmein'

It should work If you did not mess too much with grant tables.

[MySQL] Table structure help needed

2009-08-07 Thread Allen McCabe
I am creating surveys for our website and want store questions and answers
in a database. I found a tutorial that was useful, however it only gave
structure for a single question with one answer. My surveys need to be more
comprehensive than a poll question, and so I need some help with the
structure of my tables.

Currently, my database has these tables:
-user (for admin login, unrelated currently)
-survey_question
-survey_option
-survey_answer

Here is a breakdown of the fields for each:
-survey_question
---QuestionID - INT - primary key - auto_increment
---QuestionText - TEXT

-survey_option
---OptionID - INT - primary key
---QuestionID - INT
---OptionText - TEXT
---OptionValue - INT

-survey_answer
---AnswerID - INT - primary key
---AnswerValue - INT
---QuestionID - INT

I don't see how this can be sufficient, for example if I had a question with
multiple choices.

I want to be able to insert all surveys into these tables, taking into
consideration that there are many form input types. Can anyone let me know
if my structure is sufficient? This is all new and I'm learning as much as I
can.

Thanks!

RE: Help needed

2008-05-13 Thread Jerry Schwartz
I suggest you check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUID. It seems to have
a pretty current, but not overwhelming, explanation. Originally the starting
point for a UUID was the MAC (hardware) address of the network interface.
Theoretically, there should only be one device with any particular MAC
address in the whole world. There are exceptions, but they would be
mistakes.

For your purposes, you can assume that it is a unique string of 32
hexadecimal digits.

One guy that is brave/crazy/stupid enough to run a binary on his machine
that didn't have anything bad happen to him does not make it safe or a good

Re: Help needed to tune Innodb on ZFS (on Solaris)

Help needed to tune Innodb on ZFS (on Solaris)

2008-04-09 Thread Nico Sabbi
Hi,
I installed Mysql 5.0.45 on Solaris 10 01/08 configured to run
the datadir on a ZFS filesystem on a Raid1 pool.
Both myisam and innodb tables are on the same filesystem.
Innodb is configured to run with a buffer_pool_size=256M,
with doublewrite set to OFF and with file_per_table to Off.
The log files are 2 x 48 MB each.
The problem I have is that importing the same 7 MB sql dump
takes 9 seconds if engine=Myisam and 98 when engine is Innodb.

Following some advice found in various bloggers I 
created the zfs filesystem I created with a recordsize of 16K, 
and set flush_log_at_trx_commit to 0. In some way the 
benchmark have improved, but I still find Innodb much slower than
Myisam.

Does anyone have any experience on this particular configuration?
Is there any other trick to follow to improve Innodb's performance
on ZFS?

Three more things that I noticed:
- setting innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT causes mysql to 
complain that the directio() is not implemented.

- dropping the db and reimporting it from the dump is slower
at every iteration. Is there any way to keep the next reimports
as fast as the first one without recreating from scratch the ibdata 
files?

- why using innodb_file_per_tables is so much slower than 
running innodb with a single table space?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Nico

Is autocommit turned off?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-tuning.html

 When importing data into InnoDB, make sure that MySQL does not have
autocommit mode enabled because that requires a log flush to disk for
every insert. To disable autocommit during your import operation,
surround it with SET AUTOCOMMIT and COMMIT statements: SET
AUTOCOMMIT=0;
... SQL import statements ...
COMMIT;


There is also a note in there about forcedirectio and certain solaris setups.

I read it, but directio seems to be unavailable on ZFS (as fas as I can tell)

 but as far as I understand, I'd still have to generate this list as a
 string because I do not know how many users to check for, and then
 CONCAT the query, PREPARE etc. as described in Peter Brawley's email.
 Then I think I prefere using IN.

 As for the optimization of IN, I've read the following in the manual:

 The search for the item then is done using a binary search. This means
 IN is very quick if the IN value list consists entirely of constants.

Re: stored procedure, parameter type help needed

2008-02-08 Thread Magne Westlie

Hi again,

I found a way that works for the query I wanted in my sproc. It uses 
your solution to insert into a temporary table, and then uses a SELECT 
in the IN-part.
I don't know yet if this solution may have side-effects. I need to read 
more about how temporary tables is handled by MySQL, as when it comes to 
speed of execution in this solution.


Thanks for your help Peter.

My solution (with an argument that may look weird, but I found out 
adding the extra paranthesis while generating the string in Python was 
so much easier that doing it in the sproc) (working test):

---
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user_test;
CREATE TABLE user_test (
  user_id INT,
  user_name VARCHAR(100),
  PRIMARY KEY (user_id)
) ENGINE=MyIsam;
INSERT INTO user_test VALUES(1,'Bob'), (2,'Ann'), (3,'Bill'), (4,'Jim');

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS get_users;
DELIMITER ::
CREATE PROCEDURE get_users(IN param VARCHAR(1000))
BEGIN
  DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS temp_uids;
  CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE temp_uids (
uid INT NOT NULL
  );
  SET @qry = CONCAT('INSERT INTO temp_uids VALUES ', param);
  PREPARE stmt FROM @qry;
  EXECUTE stmt;

  SELECT user_id, user_name FROM user_test WHERE user_id IN (SELECT uid 
FROM temp_uids);

  DROP PREPARE stmt;
END; ::
DELIMITER ;

CALL get_users('(2), (3)');

like. When you call the sproc:

1. Quote each argument with a /pair/ of single quotes,
2. Separate these quoted arguments with commas,
3. Surround the whole |param| string with another set of single quotes:

RE: Design Help Needed

2007-06-14 Thread Mikhail Berman
Hi Sudheer,

First of all there a number of ways to design this database. 

You will need to choose the one that you feel suites your needs best.

Here one possible design.

Because you have different type of users/accounts, it looks like
ACCOUNT_TYPE table is needed

ACCOUNT_TYPE table

Account_type_id - autoincrement, PK
Account_type - varchar(25). ( Values in this field are:
Individual,Business,Partner,Internal)

Because you have user information to store:

USER_INFO table

User_id - autoincrement, PK
Account_type_id - integer, FK (foreign key to ACCOUNT_TYPE)
Fields of personal/Business information to follow - (First, Last Name,
.)

Because you have web site security info to store:

WEB_SITE_SECURITY_INFO table

User_id - integer, FK (foreign key to USER_INFO)
Security_question
Security_question_answer
Fields of security information to follow

You can grow the database as you add module, but as much as you can
foresee and design ahead it would be better

RE: Design Help Needed

2007-06-14 Thread Jerry Schwartz
Because you are a novice to data base design, you have fallen into a common
trap. If you think about an array, you don't want to store multiple users in
a row, you want to store them in a column. In other words, you want to have
one table that stores businesses (once per business, probably) and another
table that stores the associated users. You use a unique business ID to find
all of the users for a particular business.

Once you start thinking that way, you'll start to get the hang of it.

keys(primary and foreign)


Other modules of the application I would be developing in the future 
are, contact management, shopping cart, mailing lists, customer support, 
etc.


I have MySQL 4.1 on the server. Hope my question is clear.

PS: I'm new to databases.


Thanks for the help,

Unfortuantely, it looks like your InnoDB tablespace is beyond
recovery. If this data is critical and you don't have a backup, it
might be worth getting MySQL Enterprise Support for this server and
have them try and recover it -- see https://shop.mysql.com/enterprise/
for details.

Assuming you have a backup of your data and you want to get the server
back up and running so you can restore from this backup, you need to
shut down the server, delete the corrupted InnoDB tablespace and
associated .frm files, and start it up again (which will cause the
server to re-create the tablespace from scratch):

1. Shut down mysql (/etc/init.d/mysql stop on Debian, iirc)

2. Go into your data directory, and run:
a. rm -f ib*
b. for f in `find -name \*.ibd`; do b=`echo $f | sed 's/.ibd//g'`; rm
-f $b.ibd $b.frm ; done

3. Start the server again (/etc/init.d/mysql start on Debian, iirc)

4. Restore your backup (I'm assuming this is in a .sql file) by
running the relevant sections back through the mysql program.

By the way, a power outage shouldn't cause the InnoDB tablespace to
become corrupted like this, it's ACID-compliant. It's possible that
your disk system is doing some caching you don't know about, resulting
in MySQL thinking data is on disk (or guaranteed to be put on disk)
when it actually isn't. See http://brad.livejournal.com/2116715.html
for details on how to test (and fix) this.

Help needed with setting size of the table

2007-03-13 Thread Tangirala, Srikalyan

Hi All:
As the GUI tools archive doesn't help, I wanted to seek some help
from here. I was migrating the database from oracle to mysql.  I was having
an issue migrating a table from oracle to mysql figured out that the table
size on the MySQL has to be set. I'm using the migration kit which has an
administrator tool also included in it. But I'm not sure as of how can I set
the size of the table in it. If we just manually create a table with same
columns and rows, we cannot migrate the contents of it right? So that's a bad
idea. I see that only by setting the size is only the option. Can anyone
help? Any suggestions? 

Best,
Sri

SQLWays also works, and it does stored procedures, etc, but it's 
thousands of dollars (depending on the # of objects in your database).

HELP needed for speeding up a query!

2006-08-20 Thread Nicholas Wyatt

Hello to all!

has anybody got any ideas how i can speed up the following query?
it's so awfully slow (about 1 second).

the test_item table is the main problem. currently, it has
about 108.000 entries.

is it normal that it takes so long? and if it isn't, how can i
optimize the query? i've got indices on all relevant columns.


SELECT site.site_id, site.site_title, site.site_testtype, 
test.test_kt_points,

MIN(test_item.ti_evaluation) as completed,
IF (site.site_date  site.site_enddate, site.site_enddate, 
site.site_date) AS sort_date

FROM site
LEFT JOIN test ON (site.site_id = test.site_id)
LEFT JOIN test_item ON (test.test_id = test_item.test_id)
WHERE site.site_testtype IN (-1, 0, 1, 2)
GROUP BY site.site_id


thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions!

Do you have indexes on these tables/columns:

site.site_id, test.site_id, test.test_id, test_item.test_id ?

What sort of tables are they (innodb or myisam)? That will make a 
difference mainly because of the MIN() call.


Try creating an index on test_item.ti_evaluation:

create index ti_evaluation on test_item(ti_evaluation)

or even

create index ti_evaluation on test_item(test_id, ti_evaluation)

hi chris,

thanks for answering! however, i do already have indexes on those
columns. all my tables use the myisam storage engine. what are the
differences you mentioned between these engines when using MIN()?


myisam is a non-transactional table type, so only 1 client can 
update/delete/insert into it at once (other clients attempting to do 
this will be locked until the insert/update/delete finishes). That means 
the table itself can keep information about the largest value, the 
smallest value and the number of rows the table has.


innodb is a transactional table type, which means many clients can 
update/delete/insert into it at once. That means the table cannot keep 
information about values and the number of rows because at any time it 
could change in another client.


http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/storage-engines.html


i did find a way to speed up the query, by the way. i joined the tables
the other way around. the query now takes about 0,5 seconds.

SELECT site.site_id, site.site_title, site_url, site.site_testtype, 
site.project_id, test.test_kt_points,

MIN(test_item.ti_evaluation) as completed,
IF (site.site_date  site.site_enddate, site.site_enddate, 
site.site_date) AS sort_date

FROM test_item
LEFT JOIN test ON (test.test_id = test_item.test_id)
LEFT JOIN site ON (site.site_id = test.site_id)

GROUP BY site.site_id

Re: Help Needed

2006-04-04 Thread Gabriel PREDA
If you do an INSERT and you generate an new number in an AUTO_INCREMENT
field the new value generated can be retrieved using:
*SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID();*

You are not required to retrieve into the application and then use it back
in another SQL statement... you can use user variables:
*SELECT @lastGenerated:=LAST_INSERT_ID();*

And then use: the variable in another query:
*INSERT INTO someTbl (id, someCol, somCol2) VALUES (NULL, @lastGenerated,
'OutsideValue');
*
Be warned that LAST_INSERT_ID() is functional only if you did not specified
the AUTO_INCREMENT field's value... only if you did not specified the
AUTO_INCREMENT field at all... or in the insert statement you used NULL or 0
as a value... those values are considered magic by MySQL in case of an
AUTO_INCREMENT field.

Now part 2... if you didn't created an AUTO_INCREMENT field... and only want
to use the last value from that table:
Either you use a MAX() request:
*SELECT @lastGenerated:=MAX(columnName) FROM tableName*
Or:
*SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'tableName'*
and somewhere in the result is the AUTO_INCREMENT value.

Good luck !

Correct. Merely trying to use it's debug features to snatch the dba 
password so that I can get into the db and do a hash replacement
on the software's system user so that I can undo the damage caused by a 
vendor locking us out of the software.

Re: Special Character translation with export help needed

Is this the wrong list to ask this on?

If so can someone suggest a better list?

Am I missing something in my analysis of my problem?
Did I not include enough info?

Could it be a problem with perl scripts?

I figured out that it wasn't really the special characters that were 
the issue, but the
addslashes function in php with the html tags.  I just got rid of the 
back slashes and all

is good.  Sorry for the noise...

Is this what you are looking for:

SELECT clone_ids, COUNT(DISTINCT(gene_ids)) as count_genes
FROM table_name
GROUP BY clone_ids

or

SELECT clone_ids, COUNT(gene_ids) as count_genes
FROM table_name
GROUP BY clone_ids

Hope this helps,

 Hi,

 I have such a situation:

 There is a table with gene_ids and clone_ids. Each gene only resides on a
 single clone and each clone may contain multiple genes. How do would I
 find how many genes are on each and every clone?

 Thanks in advance.

This is an output of diff user.c user.cpp. Which successfully compiles on

I've changed the extension to 'cpp', so g++ could work with this file.

Also #includeconio.h was commented, and main now returns int.

The same source that you compiled under VC++ may not work at all under

you have the proper header files for linux installed. Also I did not

RE: Help needed regarding MySQL-C Libraries on Linux....

2005-06-30 Thread Ashok Kumar
Hi Prashanth,
 I'm happy to help u. i attached one 'C' code in the
previous mail. just use that code for in vc++. Follow
the procedure,
 1.Create the new win32 Console App. as a empty
project and add the attached 'C' file to the project.
 2.goto Tools-options-Directories(tab) and in that
add the corresponding MySQL Include path and as well
as the lib-debug path.
 3.goto Project-settings-Link(tab)-General
Category-add the name 'libmysql.lib' in lib modules
 4.Save the project.
 5.Add the MySQL lib-debug path to the environment
path variable, which is found in
ctrl-panel-system-Advanced-env.var-path (for the
dynamic linking of libmysql.dll file).
 6.Restart the system (for effect of env path var).
 7.Run the project.

 This c pgm will create one database called user and
table named useracc under the db user.

Note:
 Don't forget to change the username and password vars
in the pgm if u set anything like that for ur MySQL.

 For further info on C-MySQL read the following page,
some sample chapters are there, that will be useful.
 
http://www.quepublishing.com/articles/article.asp?p=30494seqNum=2rl=1

 If u have any doubts means, send that to the group,
rather than sending to the seperate person and so that
reply will be useful for others also.

Thanks and Regards,
 Ashok.

is BCC the 8086 compiler ? then I'm not sure gcc can deal with those 
includes.
To get the proper flags, I'll advise you to use the mysql_config program 
like :

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --cflags

(you didn't attach your program, so I can't see what is going on)

Help needed with complex Query

2005-06-06 Thread Philip Lawatsch
Hi,

I'm trying hard to figure out how to perform a special query in mysql 4.0.

I have one table widgets which has a column widget-id (int) and one
column number_of_parts (int).

And then I have another table part_mapping which has one column
widget-id (int) and one column part_id (int).

part_id is unique throughout the part_mapping table.

The idea is that every widget consists of several unique parts.

Now I want to select all widgets which are complete, this means where

SELECT COUNT(1) FROM `part_mapping` WHERE widget-id = ...  equals the
number_of_parts of widget-id in table widgets.

What I could do is simply loop over table widgets and execute a
select count for every wiget. This would result in a huge number if
queries needed form my client which is something I'd like to avoid.

I pretty much have no idea how I can do this without nested queries (and
to be frank not even how to do it with them) so I'd really appreciate
any help!

kind regards Philip

Try this as a starting point:

SELECT w.`widget-id`
, w.`number_of_parts`
, count(pm.`part_id`) as part_count
FROM widgets w
LEFT JOIN part_mapping pm
on w.`widget-id` = pm.`widget-id`
GROUP BY 1,2;

Wherever the column `number_of_parts` equals the computed value of 
part_count, you have a complete widget. Here is a query that returns only 
completed widgets:

SELECT w.`widget-id`
, w.`number_of_parts`
, count(pm.`part_id`) as part_count
FROM widgets w
LEFT JOIN part_mapping pm
on w.`widget-id` = pm.`widget-id`
GROUP BY 1,2
HAVING `number_of_parts` = `part_count`;

Here is one that returns incomplete widgets:

SELECT w.`widget-id`
, w.`number_of_parts`
, count(pm.`part_id`) as part_count
FROM widgets w
LEFT JOIN part_mapping pm
on w.`widget-id` = pm.`widget-id`
GROUP BY 1,2
HAVING `number_of_parts`  `part_count`;

Here is the query that tell you that construction on these widgets hasn't 
even started:

SELECT w.`widget-id`
, w.`number_of_parts`
, count(pm.`part_id`) as part_count
FROM widgets w
LEFT JOIN part_mapping pm
on w.`widget-id` = pm.`widget-id`
GROUP BY 1,2
HAVING `part_count` = 0;

I think you were having two mental problems: 1) how to GROUP BY across 
tables (creating a JOIN). and 2) How to use a HAVING clause. If you Refer 
To the Fine Manual (RTFM) you can get examples and more explanations of 
both processes.

Try this:
SELECT widgets.widget-id, number_of_parts, count(partid) AS cnt
FROM widgets INNER JOIN part_mapping
ON widgets.widget-id = part_mapping.widget-id
GROUP BY widgets.widget-id,  number_of_parts
HAVING cnt = number_of_parts;

Re: Help needed with complex Query

2005-06-06 Thread Brent Baisley
Unless you are keeping track of whether a widget in complete or not, 
there is no hope but to scan the entire table to determine if a widget 
is complete. That's something you don't want to do. You should mark a 
widget as complete when it is completed. This would mean checking if a 
particular widget is completed when a modification occurs.
Really what you are going to be doing is running the loop you spoke 
of in bits and pieces of time and only for widgets that require 
checking/updating. Then you only need to query on the completed field, 
which will be very fast.


To do it in a single query, you going to need to use count and group by 
and then check for completion using HAVING (as opposed to where).

Query optimization help needed

2005-02-24 Thread Jesse Sheidlower

I asked for help with a version of this query a few months
ago, and subsequently made some improvements to it, and also
fooled around with other parts of my app that were in need of
tuning. I've since done some more extensive benchmarking and
realized that this query really is somewhat slow. Even though
the data set is rather small and everything is (I think)
properly indexed and the joins are sensible, I can't seem to
get rid of the using temporary and using filesort in my
EXPLAIN. I'd be grateful for any suggestions for improving
this.

Here's the query (obviously I run it with different values for
subject.name and different LIMIT values, but this is
representative):

SELECT citation.*, DATE_FORMAT(citation.last_modified, '%e %M, %Y') AS 
last_modified 
FROM citation, subject, citation_subject
WHERE subject.name = 'History'
AND citation_subject.subject_id = subject.id
AND citation_subject.citation_id = citation.id
AND citation.deleted = 0
ORDER BY citation.stripped_word, FIELD(citation.part_of_speech, 'NOUN', 
'ADJECTIVE', 'ADVERB', 'VERB'), citation.id 
LIMIT 150, 50

and EXPLAIN gives me this:

*** 1. row ***
table: subject
 type: ref
possible_keys: PRIMARY,name
  key: name
  key_len: 50
  ref: const
 rows: 1
Extra: Using where; Using temporary; Using filesort
*** 2. row ***
table: citation_subject
 type: ref
possible_keys: citation_id,subject_id
  key: subject_id
  key_len: 4
  ref: subject.id
 rows: 169
Extra: Using index
*** 3. row ***
table: citation
 type: eq_ref
possible_keys: PRIMARY,deleted
  key: PRIMARY
  key_len: 4
  ref: citation_subject.citation_id
 rows: 1
Extra: Using where

Finally, here are the three tables involved. I've trimmed out the
irrelevant columns:

CREATE TABLE `citation` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `word` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `stripped_word` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `part_of_speech` enum('NOUN','VERB','ADJECTIVE','ADVERB') NOT NULL default 
'NOUN',
  `last_modified` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
  `deleted` datetime default '-00-00 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `deleted` (`deleted`),
  KEY `word` (`word`),
  KEY `stripped_word` (`stripped_word`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

CREATE TABLE `citation_subject` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `citation_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  `subject_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `citation_id` (`citation_id`,`subject_id`),
  KEY `subject_id` (`subject_id`,`citation_id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM 

CREATE TABLE `subject` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `name` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  `deleted` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  KEY `name` (`name`)
) TYPE=MyISAM 

Thank you for any suggestions.
