because you are only installing the server and not the clients packages
RTFM or just use your distributions packages which would have pulled
mysql by dependencies because the server makes little sense without
the tools for a basic setup

Re: Why MySQL-server-5.5.37 install fail?

2014-05-04 Thread yoku ts.
Hello,

mysqladmin and mysql command-line client is included in MySQL-client
package.
mysql_secure_installation is included in MySQL-server but it's a perl
script which calls mysql command-line client internally.

Thus, you should install MySQL-client-*.rpm and try again.

Regards,

 PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
 To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
 /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h master password 'new-password'

 Alternatively you can run:
 /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

 which will also give you the option of removing the test
 databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
 strongly recommended for production servers.

 See the manual for more instructions.

 Please report any problems at http://bugs.mysql.com/

 Then I use following command:

 [root@master bin]# pwd

Re: Why MySQL doesn't cache queries that populate temp tables?

2005-02-14 Thread Gleb Paharenko
Hello.



As said at:

  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/query-cache-how.html



A query will not be cached, if it uses TEMPORARY tables.







Homam S.A. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Why MySQL insists on ignoring the query cache whenever

 I use the same query repeatedly to populate a temp

 So I have:

 

 create temporary table MyTable

 SomeTable is a read-only table.

 

 If I issue the query without the temp table

 population, it gets cached fine. It's just when I use

 the temp table MySQL stops caching.

 

 Is there a way to force MySQL to repopulate the temp

 This extreme slowness in dropping a simple index in
 MySQL defeats the whole strategy of dropping indexes
 on some tables before a huge insert operation.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/alter-table.html ,
especially these bits:
Note that if you use any other option to ALTER TABLE than
RENAME, MySQL always creates a temporary table, even if the data
wouldn't strictly need to be copied (such as when you change the
name of a column). We plan to fix this in the future, but
because ALTER TABLE  is not a statement that is normally used
frequently, this isn't high on our TODO list.
As of MySQL 4.0, this feature can be activated explicitly.
ALTER TABLE ... DISABLE KEYS tells MySQL to stop updating
non-unique indexes for a MyISAM table. ALTER TABLE ... ENABLE
KEYS then should be used to re-create missing indexes. MySQL
does this with a special algorithm that is much faster than
inserting keys one by one, so disabling keys before performing
bulk insert operations should give a considerable speedup.
You want to DISABLE, not DROP, the keys.
Which, btw, is very misleading -- non-unique indices are NOT
keys. They're indices.
I would only consider unique constraints and primary key constraints
actual keys.

In MySQL, most ALTER TABLE operations involve a full reconstruction of the 
table, so dropping a key often takes almost as long as adding one. For a long 
time, optimizing them has not been a priority.

Also note that in MyISAM all keys are stored in one MYI file. So dropping a key 
is not as easy as just deleting a file.

Just to add a few more thingies:

Even though MaxDB has better looking admin tools (even the documentation 
is visually more appealing) MySQL is by a  _BIG_ far easier to manage, 
learn and use (even easier to install!). I have been using both data 
bases for a few years now, I belong to both lists, the maxdb and the 
mysql list, i generally feel more confortable using mysql than max db, 
even the syntax used to admin the db seems to be easier to learn and use 
 that the one that comes with dbcli(maxdb command line client).

You can embed mysql server, you cannot embed maxdb is another nice thing.

You can get mysql for free in almost every isp and webhosting on planet 
earth, maybe even in outter space, we'll see... =)

I guess the average is about 1000 persons that knows about mysql against 
1 that knows about maxdb

You can even find more books on mysql.

On the other side, maxdb is a _VERY_ feature rich data base, it has 
triggers, views, and every thing that you might expect from any other 
comercial grade db. A lack of this things in MySQL does not mean that 
mysql is a rather inferior choice, most of this feature can be replaced 
or simulated with a little tweaking and a good knoledge of the sql and 
mysql api.

In the long run, i would like mysql to provide tools comparable to the 
ones provided by maxdb, things like a good gui to REALLY manage the db 
(i mean a tool that let me manipulate the my.cnf, just as an example) 
and implementing long awaited features like views and triggers (i know 
they are planned for 5.1 and above)

(I WISH) i could get a nice mix of features of the best of maxdb and 
mysql, called it MEGA DB =)

CONCLUSION: Download both, try both, subscribe to both list, evaluate 
them, there are certainly jobs, that both databases can perform equally, 
there are task that are better suited for one or the other. It's up to 
you. Anyway, we are here to help! =)

Best Regards!

Subject: RE: I must be mental but.





 I compiled without problem mysql on Redhat linux 7.1

 I have just started the sever using nohup /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld

 This started fine without problem.

 as I am used to using Oracle and new to mysql I decided to do an
 mysql_install_db which prompted me saying
 remember to change password using mysqladmin -p password `password`

 I did this and it asked me for a password ??

 what is the password and how do I change it.

 This command to me suggests that -p password enters the password
password
 and the `password` is the new password ???

 can someone explain  ??

 Thanks,

 Matt.

Your ID field is type 'TINYINT' which can contain a max value of 127.
Numbers larger than that are saved to the DB as 127 so it's choking b/c it's
causing duplicate values for a key field.  Change the field type to INT or
something appropriate for your dataset.  Make it UNSIGNED if you don't
expect negative numbers in the ID field.

Tinyint will only go up to 127 when it is signed.  Try INT.

Also, please read the Docs section about data types and their sizes.  It will 
save you more embarassing questions like these. :)

Most of all, great support. Those guys are incredible! You usually get an

I do not think it has been released as stable at this time.

Then stick with the Myisam or isam tables. The BDB is the current
work-in-progress.

The MySQL team will tell us when the BDB has been declared stable.

I chose MySQL for our products because I could NOT get postgres to run
on
SCO Openserver, even though it was supposed to be supported.
I tried for 2 months to get help on the postgress mailing list.
Nobody offered ANY help.

I could not afford to base our future on a product that had ZERO
support.

MySQL has better support than ANY commercial product I have ever used.

Now you know.

The other thing is you will never want for tech support.  This mailing list alone is

   Funny, I had the same experience. The only reason I am no learning
   to use MySQL is because PostgresQL would not install on either my
   Linux box or my DEC box. The postgres list was not helpful.


My current (personal) view on the debate is that PG is more advanced
featurewise and they claim to be as fast. It's also much less
user/admin-friendly and lacks (last I could tell) an important feature
I've come to love (ALTER TABLE CHANGE column).

However, mySQL is very fast. It's got virtually all of the features I need
(row-level locking and transactions are what I'm waiting for to become
stable). I've seen some stability problems but most were under Solaris. I
look forward to it maturing and growing out of the "small to medium" range
RDBMs that it's usually tagged as due to the (stable) lack of the two
features I mentioned.

By the way, found the -1 table handler problem. *sigh* Disk was at 100%
usage on that partition. Got so used to scripts keeping track of disk
usage I forgot to even consider that a possibility. Perhaps mySQL could so
some testing to find the instances where it would get an error writing to
the disk or temp file and indicate an error as such? I mean, you're going
to get an error code back from your system (f)write call that indicates
what the problem is...

Looks like the Intel box is a little i/o starved.  The Sun seems to be getting
along fine, but, still a pretty high load.  Not sure why the memory usage
discrepancy, but, a mysqladmin extended might be more helpful.

I'm assuming you're running the solaris on the Dell for filesystem size
reasons.  Must be a pretty big and busy dbase.  That load's gonna kill the
machine over time.  What's the temperature on that thing?
