Set up a local firewall that denies connections to TCP port 3306. Your load will drop like a stone. Alternatively, find out what's happening on the server, and start optimizing from there. On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 8:54 AM, F.A.I.Z.A.L sac.fai...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All please help me to

Hi, I've used mainly of the older versions of MySQL. However am looking to port a application across to MySQL 5. My question is when would one decide to use a Stored Procedure over a query written at the application level ? Cheers Neil

How to deal with 96 Dimensional Points ?

2010-03-30 Thread Werner Van Belle
Hello, I have been pondering this for a while, but never really looked deeply into the problem. I have 96 dimensional points and I would like to pose queries such as: 'give me all points that are within such a radius of this one'. The gis extensions to mysql might support such type of query. The

Table Length Question...

2010-03-30 Thread Steven Staples
Hi there, I currently store some information about a users daily habits in a table. The table has 4 fields per day, and another 4 fields as the keys. This table, depending on the month, can be from (4 keys + (28 days * 4 fields per day)) fields, to (4 keys + (31 days * 4 fields per day)) fields

2010-03-30 Thread Gavin Towey
Not only should you definitely have one record per day, instead of one record per month, you should think about normalizing your structure further. Try these articles for tips on how to design a database structure: http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/intro-to-normalization.html and

I'm not sure why, but it seems that some people, I don't mean to imply that you are one of them, think there is some magic MySQL can preform to find points with in a given radius using the GIS extension. There is no magic. They simply use the well known math required to determine what points

Your first table layout is horrible, the second one is only marginally better. You should read up on database normalization. I have no idea what id, id2 and type are but since they seem like they are the same for every 'f' and every day, I am pretty sure they all relate directly to the user

Perhaps you could give us a (generalized) description of your use-case, so we can better grasp what you want to achieve, and how you want to use it. i.e: since I can't imagine/ envison a real 'eucledian distance' over 96 dimensions I bet you're talking a generalized distance function over N

Hello Chris, The use case I' m talking about is actually a typical usecase for GIS applications: give me the x closest points to this one. E.g: give me the 10 points closest to (1,2,79) or in my case: give me the 100 points closest to (x1,x96). A query like yours might be possible and might

Here is an idea, I'm not going to code this one:) It's still not an ideal solution because it has to make assumptions about your data set. Execute the algorithm I outlined previously with a very small r value, if you didn't find the number of points you are looking for, increase r and modify
