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.

 ibdata1.

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

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
oraclish way to get stats out of it!
 The 'problem' with MySQL is that it is so easy to start with it that

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

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.

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

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?

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.

 InnoDB: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Forcing_recovery.html
 InnoDB: about forcing recovery.
 mysqld got signal 11;

 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=0
 read_buffer_size=131072
 max_used_connections=0
 max_connections=100
 threads_connected=0
 It is possible that mysqld could use up to
 key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size +
 sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 217599 K
 bytes of memory
 Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

 Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
 where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went

RE: Help needed on query on multiple tables

2010-06-03 Thread Steven Staples
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?

 Subject: Help needed on query on multiple tables
 
 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

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.

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.

If you can use it on several computers, it will be even better for
me, I need to have as much results as possible.

The program i'm testing is supposed to create a unique ID for each
PC, this is why I need to test if it is really unique.

This file is virus free and cannot do any harm to your PC.  It is
however a voluntary testing.

Thanks for your help in advance.

I tested the program before running it and it is virus-clean. I ran it

there is a Linux version.

 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;

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,

GROUP BY site.site_id


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,

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

 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.

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).

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:

 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.

Thanks a lot, this did the trick!

Re: Help needed in creating primary key ,foreign key on a varchar datatype colum

2004-11-21 Thread Rhino
I just checked the definition of CREATE TABLE in the MySQL manual
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/CREATE_TABLE.html and I didn't see
anything that suggests that primary keys based on VARCHAR columns need to be
treated differently than other column types in MySQL. However, when I tried
to create a table based on a VARCHAR(500) column, I got a message that said:

ERROR 1074: Too big column length for column 'account_number' (max = 255).
Use BLOB instead

Therefore, if your column is more than 255 characters long, you will have to
use BLOB instead of VARCHAR. If your column is 255 or fewer characters long,
change your column definition to CHAR from VARCHAR.

Also, I believe you will have to include the phrase 'Type=INNODB' in your
table definition; I think only the INNODB engine actually enforces FOREIGN
KEY constraints.

Here is an example of creating two tables, a parent and a child, that use
the INNODB engine:

drop table if exists dept;
create table dept(
deptno char(3) not null,
deptname varchar(36) not null,
mgrno char(6),
primary key(deptno)
) Type=InnoDB;

drop table if exists emp;
create table emp(
empno char(6) not null,
firstnme char(12) not null,
midinit char(1),
lastname char(15) not null,
workdept char(3) not null,
salary dec(9,2) not null,
primary key(empno),
index(workdept),
foreign key(workdept) references dept(deptno) on delete restrict
) Type=InnoDB;

Table 'dept' is the parent table and contains one row for each department of
an imaginary company. Table 'emp' is the child table and contains one row
for each employee of the imaginary company. Each row in the 'emp' table has
a department number in its 'workdept' column; 'workdept' is the foreign key
and points to the 'deptno' column of the 'dept' table.

Re: Help needed with a select statement

2004-08-03 Thread SGreen
What you want to do is pivot your data into a crosstab report. This has 
been covered several times so you should be able to find more information 
if you search on either pivot table, crosstab or cross tab. 

Here's how to do it for a week's worth of dates, I will let you extend it 
to fit your needs. And, before you ask, there is no generic solution to 
this issue in MySQL. It is a fairly simple pattern which makes dynamic 
solutions fairly easy to script.

SELECT error
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-08',1,0)) as  '2004-07-08'
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-09',1,0)) as '2004-07-09'
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-10',1,0)) as '2004-07-10' 
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-11',1,0)) as '2004-07-11'
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-12',1,0)) as '2004-07-12'
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-13',1,0)) as '2004-07-13'
, SUM(if(date='2004-07-14',1,0)) as '2004-07-14'
FROM tablename
GROUP BY error;

I know it seems clumsy to need to define every column but it actually 
processes rather quickly.

Hi,

 I need to add a new auto field to my db, but I need to make sure the
records are listed in order of one of the other fields first which is a date
field.

 Any ideas how I do this would be greatly appreciated!

listing records is in no particular order, unless you ask for an order.

SELECT ... column names ...
FROM ... table name(s) ...
WHERE ... where clause ...
ORDER BY MyDateColumn

Re: help needed!

2003-11-25 Thread Martijn Tonies
Hi Dominic,


 I think everyone is misunderstanding my problem as perhaps I didnt phrase
it very well.

 I need to add a new autonumber field to my db, but I need to make sure
when the numbers go into the field they are in the order of one of my other
fields that is a date field.

 i.e. I have a field which shows the date someone became a member - but my
current ID field doesnt match in order.

 So I need to add a new ID field so that numbers 1 - say 100 are say 1st
Jan 00 then numbers 101 - say 201 are say 2nd Jan 00 etc. etc. So that the
ID fields order matches the dates order.

 Now I can write SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY STARTDATE which orders the db
correctly, but then how do I add an autonumber field to it and keep the
records in that order?


Right - now things _are_ more clear :-)

Nevertheless, I have to ask you: why is this a requirement? What is the
auto-inc column supposed to be: if it's only a unique identifier, what
does the order matter?

As for a solution, I think the best thing you can do is rename this table,
create a new table with the same strucutre, but WITH an auto-inc column and
then do a INSERT INTO... SELECT ... FROM oldtable ORDER BY datecolumn.

Sure.

mysql SELECT DISTINCT members.* FROM members, groups as a, groups as b

The 'a.memberid=1' clause looks up the groups that member 1 belongs to in the

Then it joins back against the groups table (as b) with the
'a.groupname=b.groupname' clause to get the folks that belong to these

Finally the 'members.id=b.memberid' bit selects the records out of the members
table, with the DISTINCT function suppressing any duplicates.

Clear as mud?

Re: Help needed with SQL...

2003-02-26 Thread Tore Bostrup
It is usually called a self-join, and it is a very useful technique.  You
have to do this when you need to obtain or access two separate subsets from
a single table and somehow use those in a join.  In this case, you want the
groupids a specific member belongs to (set one) as well as all members
belonging to the same group (set two).  And the two instances of the table
have to be identified through use of table aliases.

Regards,
Tore.

Re: Help needed with fixed size table database design!

2002-09-20 Thread Brent Baisley

One mistake that I see happen a lot in database design is that people 
get stuck in visualizing the data in physical terms along with the 
labels we attach to them. You should try to think more generically. 
Freezer, box, building, tube, etc. are all just labels assigned to 
locations. In your case, everything appears to fall together quite 
nicely.
Here is how I would create your main Inventory table:
Inventory

InvSeqID
ParentID
TypeID
Quantity
LocVertical
LocHorizontal
MiscAttribute (i.e. Temp)

Types
---
TypeSeqID
Label
Capacity
Description

That should take you most of the way to designing a system that can 
expand easier without changing table structures or adding tables when 
you get a new location Type, like floor, building, complex, etc. Your 
Types table will hold a list of the various Types of locations. 
This would have an entry for each size tube you use, each size box, 
freezer, etc. Very easy to had new box sizes, freezer types, etc.
The Inventory table will have many self relating (ParentID-InvSeqID) 
records that you can drill down (or up) to build a view of your 
inventory. This table structure allows an unlimited amount of levels 
without the need for you need change or add tables. Programming this may 
seem daunting at first, but most of your programming will just be loops 
on the ParentID, continuing until there is no more parent ID.

I know may not have gone into enough detail for you, but as you said, 
this has been done 650,000 some odd times. Although usually to create a 
message board that can have unlimited replies to replies. The attributes 
you are tracking are just different than a message boards, the concept 
is the same. And there are a bunch of message board tutorials out there.

2002-09-19 Thread Arjen Lentz

Hi,

On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 08:30, Csaba Kiss wrote:
   this is my first mail to the mailing last, since I am new to the mysql
 world. I would like to create a cell-bank mysql database. We freeze
 down cells in small tubes. These tubes are stored in boxes and the
 boxes are in big freezers. Sometimes we freeze 10-20 new tubes with
 new samples (i.e. 5 of each). When we pick them up we do it usually
 one by one. Since the size of the boxes and the freezers are constant,
 the tables that I should use should also be constant (right?). I am
 not sure how I should design my database. That's why I would like to
 ask for help.
  I thought of using the following tables:
 Samples (contains the data about the samples)
 
 Boxes   (I am not sure about this) It should contain how many rows and
 columns are in the box?
 
 Freezers (Freezers have racks that holds the boxes and these racks are
 arranged in rows and columns again)I guess this table should contain
 the number of racks, rows, and columns, location, temperature)
 
 I am stuck somewhere here. I am not too sure how I should proceed.
 Should I create a freezing table that contains Sample_id, Box_id,
 Freezer_id...?

Rule #1: a database is not a spreadsheet.
Particularly with a RELATIONAL database.
Also, you want to prevent duplicating information (in relational terms:
normalise).

You could create a freezer table, a box table and a sample table.

Each box (=row in box table) has a reference to the freezer_id, and each
sample has a reference to its box_id. So you build relations between the
tables.

If you need to store the location of a box within a freezer, you can add
its row/col coordinates as extra columns in the box table. That way each
box has its own coordinates with it as well as its freezer_id. Easy!

Temperature... per freezer or per indivual box? Put in the appropriate
table (i.e. freezer if per freezer. That way you only have to
store/update it in one place).


 The database should automatically put the tubes in the boxes until
 they are full and then move to another box by itself.

That is something for your application to do.
You can find out how many samples each indivual box has, so where to add
new samples, and you can also decide when to start a new box.


 If is thaw one samples it should remove those samples from the box
 and mark it empty.

In the above schema, you would simply delete the sample from the sample
table. In the end, a box would have no samples referring to it, which
implicitly makes it empty.


So, start thinking in relational terms. Your project actually makes this
quite easy because it itself already has clear relations (samples in a
box, boxes in a freezer, etc).
Good luck!

You may also wish to consider MySQL training, to quickly get to grips
with these concepts. See http://www.mysql.com/training/ for details on
currently scheduled training courses.

Arjen.

I'm assuming the ID in builder table is named builderID in 
builder_category. Furthermore the ID in category is categoryID in 
builder_category_table.

Then you should join like this:

SELECT
b.name,
c.business

builder b
LEFT JOIN builder_category bc ON ( b.id = bc.builderid)
LEFT JOIN category c ON ( c.id = bc.builderid )

That should give out all names from builder which have any business given.

Thanks for all the input:

My code was correct when I compared it to the responses I received. I'm
pretty new to mysql, so I was totally blaming my coding for the errors I was
getting:

This is what I found I will stop using Microsoft for development of
mysql. I was running the queries locally on my Win2k machine using the win32
version of mysql. After screwing with it for several days I finally gave up
and posted to the list.

My code works perfectly on my live Linux and FreeBSD servers. Now after
several wasted days, I have another reason to hate Bill Gates! :-)

Thanks again.

Hi

SELECT b.* //all fields from builder
FROM
builder b   //define tables and aliases
, builder_category_link l
, category c
WHERE
(b.builderID = l.builderID) //linking builder to link table
AND (l.categoryID = c.categoryID)   //linking category to link table
which in
//turn builds the link to the
builder table

AND (l.category_description = 'plumber'); //where category is plumber

should return all builders who do plumbing

I think the id field in the link table is redundant, unless you have another
use for it.

Hope I understood what you were aiming to do :)

Re: Help needed on query

2002-04-23 Thread Chris Johnson

You should be able to just use something like this:

Select uid, username From tablename Where '$externalstringvar' like query;

That's PHP syntax.  You'll have to use whatever makes sense for your
scripting or programming language in place of the $externalstringvar
variable.  The single-quotes are required.

Note this will always do a full table scan, so if your table is big, it will
be slow.

Re: Help needed with C program + Mysql

Hi.

The char* to the field value will be NULL (in the C meaning), if the

probably a missing check before you treat the NULL pointer as string.

Correct.

It sounds like you might want to look at InnoDB tables.  They are disk

only caches index data in memory.  The InnoDB buffer pool is where
this cached data is stored.

 So, if anybody can suggest me any process by which I can populated
 HEAP table(es) from a duplicate table(es) (which is on secondary
 storage) at the time of startup. Also, any runtime modifications in
 the tables will need to be updated in both the tables (one in memory
 and another one on disk).  If any other method by which I can
 achieve the same.

There was talk last year of implementing a hybrid HEAP/MyISAM table
type (originally motived by the DBA at Slashdot).  Upon startup, the
MyISAM table would be loaded into a RAM-based HEAP-table.  Any changes
to the HEAP table would get written to the underlying MyISAM table as
well.  Read-only queries, of course, would be run against the
RAM-based HEAP table.

I suspect that will never be implemented, since InnoDB and it's buffer

Sorry, I should have given you more information about the problem.

We have a Java program, with a J2EE backend which is connected to a MySQL

The database is running on a windows 2000 machine, and we want to output the

Ideally we want to use one or more queries to do this, rather than using

 01mysql-server.sh file. I use DBI and I know that I have to start this
 before the DBI program and I did but if I use ./mysqld --help it shows
 that my max_allowed_packet is still 1M. Any help would be really great
 since I've been working on this all day :(
 
 
 case $1 in
 start)
 if [ -x /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld ]; then
 /usr/local/bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysql
 --set-variable=max_allowed_packet=16M   /dev/null   echo -n '
 mysqld'
 
 

try it in your /etc/my.cnf:

[mysqld]
 socket=/tmp/mysql.sock
 set-variable = max_allowed_packet=16M

  Hi everybody,
 
   I use Replication on a windows NT4 Server.
   There are 1 master and 2 slaves, all on the same machine.
   One slave is started with the option skip-name-resolve, not the
 other.
   For the 2 slaves : master-host=localhost
   When adding a user (MYSQL.User), the replication is OK but,
   when I use GRANT, I get a 1133 error.
   Let's have a look on a slave :

And what I do and get :

   Personnally, I don't understand why.
   Does anyone understand ?

The solution is ...
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

As it's not an UPDATE, this command is not sent to slaves with the binlog.

RE: HELP NEEDED: Problems with SELECT in combination with HAVING

2001-06-27 Thread Thomas Michael Koch

Hey Hans - it didn't work (damn) but thank you for your reply and sorry
about the accidental mail you got.

The result that was produced had the correct time but it was not attatched
to the correct row. It was instead attached to the first row that MySql
found in the RobotRun table.

I have found another way around it, which goes like this:

SELECT max(runId), robotId
FROM RobotRun
WHERE endTime IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY RobotId

This builds on the assumption that runId's are assigned in a strictly
ascending order, so it only works for my domain ...

It also seems that I have made a small typo in my initial request (sorry).
The purpose of the SQL is to find the runId of the newest run for each
robotId. Thus I reformed your SQL to: SELECT runId, max(startTime)

I can solve my problem by using GROUP BY and HAVING when running against
SyBase like this:

SELECT *
FROM RobotRun
WHERE endTime IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY robotId
HAVING startTime = max(startTime)

Alas, this does not work with MySql.

Is there a general understanding within the MySql community that GROUP BY
and HAVING doesn't conform to the standard ?

Thomas

This should return the robotId and the most recent startTime labeled 'crit'

 Hello there - I have this weird problem using MySql (version 3.23.39).

 It seems that MySql interpretation of a SELECT statment using HAVING is

 I have a table called RobotRun which stores information about when a robot

 columns: runId (primary key), robotId (the id of the robot),
startTime
 and endTime.

 A robot can run several times during its life time, thus several records
 will appear in RobotRun for the same robotId, however, each row will
always
 have a unique runId.

 The purpose of the SQL is to produce one RobotRun row for each robot, with

 SELECT robotId, startTime, max(startTime) as crit
 FROM RobotRun
 WHERE startTime = '2001-06-26 00:00:00'
 AND endTime IS NOT NULL
 GROUP BY robotId
 HAVING startTime = crit

 This query produces 321 rows.

 Setting the startTime to '2001-06-25 00:00:00' produces 707 rows, which is
 correct and expected since the input set is larger.

 NOW: Setting the startTime to '2001-06-24 00:00:00' produces 21 rows
 What is going on. I cannot see how this is possible. The input set is only
 getting larger.

 The number of rows involved in the table is in the vicinity of 5. The
 theoretical maximum number of rows produced from the SQL is in the
 neighbourhood of 5000 rows. That shouldn't be a problem.


 I have also tried the following statement with the same result (problem):

Re: HELP NEEDED: Problems with SELECT in combination with HAVING

2001-06-26 Thread Hannes Niedner

Try 

SELECT robotId, max(startTime) as crit
FROM RobotRun
WHERE startTime = '2001-06-26 00:00:00'
AND endTime IS NOT NULL
GROUP BY robotId

This should return the robotId and the most recent startTime labeled 'crit'
for all records specified in the where clause. And have a look in the manual
for the group by statement - since this statement works like a enhanced
'select distinct' query it will produce ill results applied to non unique
combinations in the select and group by statement. I suppose that¹s the case
for your  'robotId, startTime' pair.

If I got this wrong forgive me it was first thing in the morning.

 Hello there - I have this weird problem using MySql (version 3.23.39).
 
 It seems that MySql interpretation of a SELECT statment using HAVING is
 completely random.
 
 I have a table called RobotRun which stores information about when a robot
 has been running (start, stop and the id of the robot). This translates to
 columns: runId (primary key), robotId (the id of the robot), startTime
 and endTime.
 
 A robot can run several times during its life time, thus several records
 will appear in RobotRun for the same robotId, however, each row will always
 have a unique runId.
 
 The purpose of the SQL is to produce one RobotRun row for each robot, with
 the added restriction that it is only the row with the newest startTime
 value that gets selected.
 
 Now if I do the following SQL things start to get strange:
 
 SELECT robotId, startTime, max(startTime) as crit
 FROM RobotRun
 WHERE startTime = '2001-06-26 00:00:00'
 AND endTime IS NOT NULL
 GROUP BY robotId
 HAVING startTime = crit
 
 This query produces 321 rows.
 
 Setting the startTime to '2001-06-25 00:00:00' produces 707 rows, which is
 correct and expected since the input set is larger.
 
 NOW: Setting the startTime to '2001-06-24 00:00:00' produces 21 rows
 What is going on. I cannot see how this is possible. The input set is only
 getting larger.
 
 The number of rows involved in the table is in the vicinity of 5. The
 theoretical maximum number of rows produced from the SQL is in the
 neighbourhood of 5000 rows. That shouldn't be a problem.
 
 
 I have also tried the following statement with the same result (problem):
 
 SELECT robotId, startTime
 FROM RobotRun
 WHERE startTime = '2001-06-26 00:00:00'
 AND endTime IS NOT NULL
 GROUP BY robotId
 HAVING startTime = max(startTime)
 
 
 Any help would be appreciated.

 Thomas Koch

Re: Help needed with Query

2001-04-27 Thread Eric Fitzgerald

Please do a SHOW FIELDS FROM and SHOW KEYS FROM on all tables involved
so we can see what's going on here.  Also, a warning, if desacription is
indexed, by doing LIKE '%GABA%' with wildcard at beginning, it won't use
index's.

Would also help if you did an EXPLAIN on that query and sent that.

Subject: Help needed with Query


 I am working on a mysql database with many large tables (1.5 million rows
on
 some) and came across a beeg problem.

 I have need for a query like this:
 mysql select distinct subsnp_pk as sqnmid, c.chrom, chrompos, source as
 panel,  null as first_pcrp, null as second_pcrp, null as prb_seq, null as
 term,  null as validation, null as freq, null as population  from
locuslink
 l, subsnp left outer join chromosome_position c  on subsnp_pk = c.snp_fk
 left outer join locus_annotation a  on subsnp_pk = a.snp_fk where
a.locusid
 = substring(l.locusid, 4) and description like '%GABA%' order by
subsnp_pk;

 Which seems insane.  This 4 table join in another situation would become a
6
 table join.  As it is, it takes 1min 10.60 seconds for this query to
return
 one result.  Clearly I am not a MySQL expert, and even though this query
 works, there must be a better way to do this.

 Is it a matter of indexing?  A matter of poor schema design?  Poor query
 design?  Is it unavoidable?

 As far as I know, none of the tables are indexed (I did not set up the
 schema).

 Please let me know if more info is required to help with this.

 Thanks,
 Bryan

Re: Help needed with Query UPDATE INFO

2001-04-27 Thread Eric Fitzgerald

Ok, a few things I see...first off, slap some keys into those tables on the
join portions.  Secondly, upon examining your query a second time, your
never joining subsnp and locuslink.  I see your trying to use a full join,
but you didn't put the criteria for it in the where clause.  That would
cause some VERY weird join results, and may be your problem.  Try adding in
the join clause in the where clause.

Re: Help needed on mysql!!

What do you mean by "better" ?

Next time it hangs, check your disk freespace.
When MySQL runs out of tmp workspace, it waits until some becomes
available.

SELECT * FROM

Don;t ask how to correctly call the query in perl, read

Does ANYBODY read  books manuals  these days?
