BDB only does READ COMMITTED.

Thanks Edward,

Thank you that confirms what I found.
I also found that BDB is not available on Mac and Linux (alpha) architecture.

Hi MySQL Fans,

I am sure this question was asked before, but I did not find sufficient info,
so please allow me to ask this question again.

When comparing BDB and InnoDB which one would be (generally speaking) a better
choice for a certain purpose ?

I understood that BDB and InnoDB have basically similar features.

Except BDB uses-page-level locking and InnoDB uses row-level-locking.

There are some things which I am not so sure about.

Does BDB support foreign keys ?

Any response much appreciated. I searched through the archive back to June
2002 and in the info manual , but unfortunately I did not find what I was
looking for.

Did  I miss something ?

Re: bdb table crashes?

2002-01-31 Thread Kalok Lo

I've had many problems with BDB table crashes.
Up until now, I haven't really cared, running safe_mysqld, the database just
restarts, and things proceed as normal.

But recently I've had some strange behaviour, where table data is deleted
after an "alter table" statement.
Upon looking through the error logs, I found many cases much like yours, but
NOT due to delete queries, mine were just select queries.
I don't know if the 2 problems are related at all, "the crashes, and the
data deletion"

For transaction support, the recommended table handler is InnoDB. For BDB, 
though, we will fix all bug for which we have a test case. Please send a full 
test case including your tables to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If your tables are 
reasonably large, upload them to ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret.

We do, however, recommend that you switch to InnoDB since there is currently 
no active development on the BDB handler.

Have a look at mysqlsnapshot:

It's designed for MyISAM files, but it could be modified for BDB
pretty easily (I'd love the patch).

Look at the mysqlbinlog command.  It turns a binary log into something
you can pipe back thru the mysql command-line tool.

Re: BDB table : different results on adjacent queries

2001-09-20 Thread Dana Powers

Try running "ANALYZE TABLE x;" and redoing the query. If this fixes your
query, there is some index corruption going on. Are there any other queries
going through the system during these tests, or is it only your 2 threads?
There were some BDB index bugs fixed in the last few mysql releases, but
3.23.41 should be fine. Im using .42 and having no more problems.

It was a simple 'select * from  where a= and b='.
Version: 3.23.41, compiled with BDB and INNODB support,
running on Linux (SuSE 7.0).

The table we used had the following structure:
a varchar(36) not null, pri
b varchar(50) null
c varchar(4) null
d varchar(50) null
e decimal (10,0) null
f varchar(36) null, mul
g varchar(36) null, mul
h varchar(50) not null
i varchar(50) null

there are 3 non_unique keys defined:
f+b
f+d
g

column f is filled with all the same values (262 records)

the last test was performed with the command line tool mysql.
query:
select count(*) from  where f='';

count(*) = 262 -> ok.

(the value in column f is a GUID which uses the full 
length of the field.)

I repeated the query several times, with always the same 
positive results.

Then I opened another connection (as a different user), 
using the same database, applied my query,
and ... OOPS ... count(*) = 0 !

I turned back to the other client and again performed the 
same query (using the commandline buffer).
Now the result of the count was 0 also there !!!

Next I tried another application: mysql_navigator (1.2.4),
the same query, count was 262, ok.
next try: added " and b = '4004'" to the where clause so that 
the count should be 1 as there is only one record with '4004'
in column 'b'.
result: count was 0 !
another try on the previous select : count is 2 instead of 262 !

so what ???

replaced 'count(*)' by '*':
one of the resulting records is the one with '4004' in column 'b',
the other one's 'b' value is 400403.
There is another record in the table beginning with 4004 in 
column 'b' : value '40040307', but this one wasn't selected.

I hope you have an idea about this very weird behaviour.

Thanx in advance
Andy

Currenty the only way we can affect how locks works with BDB tables is
to use the --bdb-lock option.
This is passed to BDB with db_env->set_lk_detect().

We have actually a variable to do retry of locks:

In ha_berkeley.cc, line 82:

ulong berkeley_trans_retry=1;

Could you try to change the above to 10 and see if this helps.

This retry count is only used for insert/delete/update but it may
still help solve some of your problems (If it does, we will make this
variable available from the command line).

One problem in doing the lock detection in the server is that the you
may get a lock after you have already sent some data to the client.

It would on the other hand not that hard to do retries on the client
side if something goes wrong.  I shall put this on our TODO.

Thanks for the reply! I can understand the situation with muti statement
transactions, but I'm not using transactions ( at least from my
perspective ); Im only issuing single 'atomic' statements. It would make
much more sense if mysql internally detected the deadlock, released the
locks and tried to process the statement again. It just seems so
counter-intuitive that i can connect, issue a single, isolated select
statement and get a deadlock. I dont know if this is possible, but I would
love something like this in the mysql engine:

retry-deadlock:
error = do_query();
if ( ( auto-commit == on ) && ( error == DEADLOCK ) && ( ++tries <
threshold ) ) {
  warn('Deadlock detected. Retrying query.');
  goto retry-deadlock;
}

Of course this could go into the application code, but it would have to go
around every single query, transactional or not, and that seems so
cumbersome given that the solution is the same in every case.

We shall will add som more documentation about this ASAP.

In MySQL 3.23.43 you will get the following error:

Error: 1213  (ER_LOCK_DEADLOCK)
"Deadlock found when trying to get lock; Try restarting transaction",

Anyway, the problem you are experiencing is something that is normal
with all transactional databases.  When you have many clients that is
reading/updating the same table there is always cases when you will
get deadlocks or other failure in the transaction and you have to redo
the whole transaction in the application.

Re: BDB table error

2001-09-16 Thread Heikki Tuuri

Dana,

if you have page level locking, you can easily
get a deadlock from an atomic insert done as
a single transaction, and another user doing
an atomic select in another single transaction.

It happens this way:

User A   User B

insert recordselect record from secondary
to primary index index, get S-lock on page 2
get X-lock on page 1

 select record from primary index
 get X-lock on page 1 -> MUST WAIT
insert record to
secondary index
get X-lock on page 2 ->MUST WAIT -> DEADLOCK

Re: BDB table error

2001-09-15 Thread Dana Powers

I can totally understand that, but the problem is, my queries are only
interested in one row each ( accessed by primary key ). Perhaps it has to do
with the extra unique index?

The flow is this:

insert row.
grab newly created primary key ( autoincrement ) + generate a unique 32 byte
char string based on the primary key.
update row to set unique char string.
commit | rollback

Could it be that bdb needs to grab a page lock on the index as well? hmm,
that might explain it.

Subject: AW: BDB table error


Dana,

a deadlock can easily occur on a single table with row-level (or page-level)
locking. What happens is something like the following:

connectionhas lock on wants lock on
alpha object Aobject B
beta  object Bobject A

With page-level locking this would obviously be possible to happen only if
the objects resided in different pages. Anyway, this type of situation
cannot be resolved by the connections on their own, because they both see
only their own context and end up sitting there indefinitely waiting for the
object they want to be freed. Therefore, it must be handled by either the
application code or the rdbms itself.

Some of the other database systems I know detect this situation on their
own. Oracle, for example, will roll back one of the contending connections
and write a trace file plus an entry in its alert log (for an ORA-00060
error). Sadly, I don't know anything about BDB, so I can't really help you.

Generally speaking I've not yet met a situation where it was necessary to
sequentially lock several objects on the same table, though. I may be wrong,
but as far as I can see this would seem to point at either loose design (not
fully normalized - if the data is normalized you simply go and lock the
(single) parent object, then all child objects of this parent are implicitly
locked if all connections behave in the same way) or at sub-optimal coding
(atomicity of operations should have been preserved). No offense intended,
as I say, I may be totally off the beam here.

Cheers,
Christian Sage

Re: BDB table error

2001-09-15 Thread Dana Powers

I've found the answer to my problem in the bdb source...

>From bdb/include/db.src:
#defineDB_LOCK_DEADLOCK(-30996)/* Deadlock. */

So the question is: how can a bunch of simultaneous connections that only
work on 1 table create a deadlock. And how can I write my code to avoid this
problem?
Is this an intrinsic problem with BDB, a problem with the way mysql handles
BDB, or a problem with my application code?

Additionaly, it would be nice if either the mysql engine returned a
string-ified version of the error code or if perror could handle these error
codes.

While I have some of experience with InnoDB and very little experience
with BDB tables, here's my take on the situation...

BDB tables were/are a nice stepping stone for MySQL.  They were the
first transactional table type.  People who needed transactions (or
more fine-grained locking) use BDB, but a lot of folks were still
waiting for something like the more traditional systems (Oracle,
Sybase, SQL Server, etc).  BDB tables do have a few odd qualities.

InnoDB performs very well but is newer.  It seems to be quite stable
if you're not using BLOBs.  However, I expect InnoDB to easily surpass
BDB in popularity, developer support, and features.  For all I know,
it already has.

I see InnoDB as being one of the more viable MySQL table types for the
long-term.

You can probably build your application on BDB tables today and be
just fine.  You can probably build your application on InnoDB today and
be just fine if you take backups and keep up to date with MySQL as any
InnoDB are fixed.

Re: BDB and InnoDB in windows nt versions

2001-08-17 Thread Heikki Tuuri

Bruce,

the tablespace must be >= 10 MB. You have only
specified 5M.

I tested with .41 and got the following error
message:

C:\trybuild\client_debug>mysqld --console
InnoDB: Error: tablespace size must be at least 10 MB
010817 15:28:15  Can't init databases

Regards,

Heikki

Copied message:

Thanks for the input Heikki,

I got it the right version mysql-max-nt going now. The problem was that
winmysqladmin automatically started the wrong service- mysqld - so I had to
uninstall that service before it would recognise any changed I made in the
my.ini file done with winmysqladmin.
Now I can use bdb, and show variables gives InnoDB as disabled.
I've tried setting up the InnoDB variables in winmysqladmin like this, but
the server won't start:

You need to use a data file >= 10 MB and <= 2GB

Stop the server. Delete all the files from ..\ibadata
and ..\iblogs. Change the value above and restart the
server.

Re: BDB and InnoDB in windows nt versions

Sinisa,

there is no separate Windows distribution of -Max :). From the
-Max page:

Note: The MySQL 3.23.38 (and newer) distribution for Windows includes both
the normal MySQL and MySQL-Max binaries.

Well. Sorry I fogot to write this. I do not get this then I run just this
query. There ara many different queries in my log file which finaly
leads to crash and about which applications gets an error (#1) before.

So It hapens like - application starts to get error #1 then trying to
execute the query and then finaly mysql crashes.
This error gets repeatable and stays before mysql restart or crash.

Here are some more queries which lead to crash wich exactly the same
backtrace, a bit different from the first one,

thd->query at 0x8588aa8 = SELECT
 UNIX_TIMESTAMP(MAX(last)) AS uts

 layers_st90.g00layers_stat_pagesactions

About 1200. But only 120 of them are really used now (in test script).

So I packed it and uploaded into secret directory as

MW> Have you had any luck with testing of InnoDB tables ?
Well. I'll play more now, after finding out there are some bugs with
BDB.  I'm a bit afraid of INNODB tables as no
recovery tools exists, also it's more hard to make a backups.
Also It looks like I'll need to use many tablespaces to hold my
database as files grater then 2G is not supported yet.
Other think which is really bothering me - data migration which I
often have to do if some of my servers gets overload. So I just may
copy such databases with bdb or myisam but can't do so with INNODB.

My other tests show it's pretty fast, and I'll play more with it I
think.

In the mean time, we will try to re-produce it ourselves. Monty might even be 
able to tell right away what is wrong by just looking at the error messages 
and the code.

Unfortunately being in a hurry to get  the daemon running again I
deleted the files.

I will attempt to reproduce the problem on an unused server.  I think
it should be easy to recreate,  just drop a database after you have
something for it in the log.xx file then after the db is gone,
stop and restart the server.  I'll try to come up with a simple test
case tomorrow.

Looks like you found two bugs at once. The first one is that someone mysqld 
segfaults, probably a bug in processing some query or possibly some OS issue, 
but there is not much we can tell at this point - the only way to track it 
down would be if you had full logging enabled and saved the last few queries 
before the crash, and took a full snapshot of the database at the time of the 
crash.

Second bug is that BDB could not recover after the crash - I hope you have 
backed up the logs before you deleted them - we will need them to debug the 
problem. If you still have them, upload them to 
ftp://support.mysql.com/pub/mysql/secret/

RE: BDB table corruption when inserting/retrieving a BLOB into a BDB table

2001-03-14 Thread Cedric Sims


We had similar problems with version 3.23.33. For us, the fix was to move
the errant tables to MyISAM. We did not need transaction support for those
tables. We have since moved the tables back to BDB with MySQL version
3.23.34a. The problem seems to have been resolved in this latest update.

Cedric.

I can also verify that the data seems to be stored properly (from mysql's
command line tool).  The problem seems most likely to occur with larger text
strings

Anyone else?

Subject: BDB table corruption when inserting/retrieving a BLOB into a
BDB table



I'm getting a very strange results all of the sudden when dealing with BLOBs
in a mysql 3.23.32 on a Solaris 7 (SPARC) machine (inserts/deletes handled
with the JDBC driver from http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/)

If I do the following:

1) Create a BDB table with a blob column:
CREATE TABLE test4(
 id INTEGER not null PRIMARY KEY,
 ablob BLOB null
) TYPE=BDB;

2) Insert a particular blob into that column (I'm storing XSLT stylesheets
in the real table, most of them work fine but one in particular is all of
the sudden causing problems):

---code snip---
String fn="badblob.txt";// Filename of the blob I'm loading that
causes problems
FileInputStream style_fis=new FileInputStream(fn);
byte[] style_bytes=new byte[style_fis.available()];
style_fis.read(style_bytes);
String dQuery="delete from ttest4";
String iQuery="insert into ttest4(id,ablob) values(1,null);";
conn=cp.getConnection();// Gets a JDBC connection from a pool I
keep elsewhere
Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(dQuery);
stmt.executeUpdate(iQuery);
stmt.close();
String uQuery="update test4 set ablob=? where id=1";
pstmt=conn.prepareStatement(uQuery);
pstmt.setBytes(1,style_bytes);
pstmt.execute();
pstmt.close();
cp.releaseConnection(conn);
---end code snip---

(I've modified this some, but basically my code will insert an empty row
then update it with the blob, this is to deal with some issues we've had
with other RDBMs' implementations of JDBC).

This seems to go just fine.

3) Retrieve that blob with the following code:
--code snip--
   conn=cp.getConnection();
   Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
   String query="select ablob from ttest4 where id=1";
   ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery(query);
   while(rs.next()) {
Blob b=rs.getBlob(1);
byte[] blobBytes=b.getBytes(0,(int)b.length());
System.out.println(new String(b));
}
--end code snip--


At this point my output ends up very garbled.  The output usually starts off
with some very strange ASCII characters (seemingly binary data) with things
like filesystem names thrown in the mix... Then at some point parts of my
actual data (from the "badblob.txt" file in step 2) appears... Then the end
of it is usually overwritten with more strange  ASCII characters.

In attempting to fix this problem, I dropped and recreated the entire
database a few times, restarted the server daemon, etc.  I finally ended up
changing the table to TYPE=MyISAM and the problem went away.  Unfortunately,
I need transaction support for this project.

I've been using this code, data, server version, bdb table, etc for a few
weeks now with no problems, but suddenly when

This suggestst that they weren't created as BDB tables.

You must compile the BDB support. It's currently not in the RPM.

This suggestst that they weren't created as BDB tables.

Can you verify that they're created properly?

Re: BDB tables crashing mysql 3.23.33

2001-03-02 Thread msteele

Hi Sasha,

The patch you sent me seems to have created other problems,
or simply has allowed to find new ones :)

I'm working on isolating exactly which query makes the bdb 
tables crash. Full bug report on the way.

So far, it looks like left joins on bdb tables does something weird.

I was using the following query:
SELECT ProductName, tblProduct.ProductID
FROM tblService LEFT JOIN tblPackage ON (tblService.PackageID =
tblPackage.PackageID)
LEFT JOIN tblConfig ON (tblConfig.ServiceID = tblService.ServiceID)
LEFT JOIN tblProduct ON (tblConfig.ProductID = tblProduct.ProductID)
LEFT JOIN tblProductConfig ON (tblProduct.ProductID =
tblProductConfig.ProductID)
WHERE ProductGroupID = '4' AND tblService.ServiceID ='2'
AND ModifyAllow = 'Y' AND DefaultValue IS NULL AND UserConfigFlag = 'Y'
GROUP BY tblProduct.ProductID;

which returned no results (it should have). the query did work before 
some of the tables were switched to BDB.

I rewrote it look like:
select p.ProductName,p.ProductID FROM tblProduct p, tblService s, 
tblConfig c,tblProductConfig pc,
tblPackage pkg WHERE s.PackageID = pkg.PackageID AND c.ServiceID =
s.ServiceID 
AND c.ProductID = p.ProductID AND p.ProductID = pc.ProductID AND
p.ProductGroupID = 4 
AND s.ServiceID = 2 AND pc.ModifyAllow = 'Y' AND pc.DefaultValue IS NULL 
AND pc.UserConfigFlag = 'Y' GROUP BY p.ProductID;

which returns the expected results.

The error log is reporting the following error, but I haven't pinpointed
exactly what triggers it yet.

010301 21:09:51  bdb:  transaction has active cursors
010301 21:09:51  bdb:  PANIC: Invalid argument
010301 21:09:51  Aborted connection 16 to db: 'Funio' user: 'funio'

The error seems to be showing up after doing a transaction which has
executed successfully (I'll confirm shortly).

It does not any more, with the bug not fixed, that is. We update the test 
suite every time we find a new bug.

I do have a patch for it now. From what I understood in the code, this is 
actually a more correct way to do things, but I would like to get Monty's 
approval to be sure. After the patch, MySQL still passes our test suite,

Quick update on this bug - if you change ChargeAuthorizationMessage and 
ChargeComment to varchar(255) the bug does not happen. In other words, the 
offender is the text field.

There is a bug when handling a text (blob) field.  I'm looking

I've added this bug to our test suite, so it won't crop back
up again once it's fixed.  Thank you for the test case!

Thanks for reporting the bug - I have been able to repeat it, and am now 
trying to figure out what is happening. Unfortunately, Tim and Monty, who are 
the ones working on BDB code are not going to be available for a couple of 
days, and since I do not know that code as well, it would take me some time 
to understand how things work ( which I need to do anyway, and now is a good 
chance) before I can provide a fix.

Please note that our BDB tables have not yet received nearly as much of the 
"baptism of fire" as MyISAM. We will however, fix all the reported bugs 
promptly.

It's a miracle.

Which version of the BDB patch do you use?
I'm using 3.2.9a.
(Previously, there has been a version 3.2.3g...)

Thanks...

Now when CHECK TABLE and REPAIR TABLE is integrated with mysqld,
You can always use --skip-locking;

(In any case, this option has no effect on BDB tables)

Mysql is started with --skip-locking as it's recomended on linux, so
this should not be the problem.

At first I used mysqldump --all --opt  but then mysqld crashed on
multiple inserts.  The next time I just started it with --all
--add-drop-tables options and this is the cases for this usage.

RE: BDB

2001-02-09 Thread Mehalick, Richard RE SSI-GRAX

When using the BDB tables and RedHat 6.2 or 7.0, should --skip-locking be
used or not?  I know it was recommended for earlier versions of RedHat, like
version 5.x.

Thanks in advance,

I agree that we need to look at this soon.  It would be easy to do
checking just when BDB is started, but it's a bit hard to do when
BDB is in use.

Peter> Also - does not lock tables write enshures there are no other active

Currently the LOCK TABLE only ensures that no one will be able to
execute another query that updates the table.  The problem is that we
need to also implement a list of tables that has an active transaction
on the table and not allow the lock table to succeed until these
transactions are taken care of.  It will take a couple of weeks until
Tim will have time to look at this.

Monty

OK. But just note to really use BDB tables in production people need
to have a possibility to recover data if BDB table somehow got
dammaged. I know there is a chance to recover data by alter table or
if this does not help to do an mysqldump and restore (well of couse
this is worse then with MYISAM there repair table sometimes helps even
then mysqldump does not work). To do the repair you of couse need to
find out something is going wrong and it's better to find this before

As far as I know there is no tools now to fix BDB tables (the one
provided with BDB does not work with MYSQL tables) so it was nice
option anyway - to start other mysqld and check the table :) And as
far as I know this is safe anyway as check table does not change

Also - does not lock tables write enshures there are no other active
