I have done this, but only with some external programming. I was using Informix, not MySQL, but the principle would be the same. Essentially, I put a layer in between the client and the data base, and it wrote transactions into a FIFO for a slave on each server. The slaves, in turn, took care of

Dear MySQL-ers, After upgrading to MySQL 5.0.24a (from 4.0.26), I've been raking my brain over installing DBD-mysql-3.0007. Installed DBI-1.52, then DBD::mysql, all by the book. Troublesome installation. But that's not what I want to ask about. So, after installing DBI-1.52 (built against

Option/Variable Reference for the MySQL Server

2006-09-22 Thread Stefan Hinz
The MySQL Reference Manual has become huge (about 2000 pages), and this means it's becoming increasingly hard to find things. And often it's hard for the MySQL documentation team to decide where to put things, because no matter where we put them some people expect to find them in another place.

auto_increment field start value

I seem to recall that when creating a table, you could designate an auto_increment field to begin counting at zero(0) instead of one (1), but I can't find an example in the documents. I'm using 4.0.16 and table type=myisam. David -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives:

David - there's some info in the online docs here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/example-auto-increment.html Specifically: To start with an AUTO_INCREMENT value other than 1, you can set that value with CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE, like this: mysql ALTER TABLE tbl AUTO_INCREMENT = 100;

Re: auto_increment field start value

2006-09-22 Thread dpgirago
OK. If you assign to auto_increment any number higher than what currently exists in the column, it changes the value and the incremented sequence from that point. But apparently you can't assign the value zero to the column, even if the table is empty. Thanks, Dan, but I can't get it to work.

Hi, I've got a view of a base table that is 100% identical to that base table except for one column, which is a projection of the base table after its MD5 hashed. The table is largish (~700,000 rows) and is growing quickly. Queries on the base table are nice and fast, but on the hashed view are

If I'm understanding right - the view contains an additional column that is an MD5 hash of some or all of the data in the base table, right? Yes, I would expect that to be very very slow. When selecting, your database engine has tro calculate 700K MD5 hashes. Slow. When selecting a subset it
