Query help

2002-05-21 Thread Adriano Manocchia
I can't seem to properly wrap my brain around left joins. If anyone knows of a good tutorial somewhere, I'd appreciate it. That having been said, I was hoping someone could help with this query I'm trying to do as I've been horribly unsuccessful. 3 tables: goal (own goals), goalopp (opponent

Spontaneous Data Directory Changing

2002-04-02 Thread Adriano Manocchia
A few weeks ago, my mysql 3.23.46 server spontaneously started changing its data directory to /var/tmp/ once or twice a week, and once or twice a day for a short span. Nothing in the error file. Anyone seen anything like this or have any idea what's going on? I changed the data directory to a

Backing up raid tables

2001-06-21 Thread Adriano Manocchia
Well, I successfully solved our 2 gig file limit problem with RAID tables without too much hassle, despite a dearth of documentation. However, it has introduced another significant problem. It would seem mysqldump isn't smart enough to look for raided tables. Taking the server down to do
