>Description: This problem pertains to the Sun Solaris distributions, I have not tried others. Description follows: mysqldump --tab runs up against user resource limits on the number of open file descriptors when the number of tables in the database being dumped is high enough. Have reproduced this problem with the latest stable release, binary package: mysql-max-3.23.46-sun-solaris2.8-sparc
>How-To-Repeat: 1. Use a MySQL database with more than 10 tables. 2. Limit the number of open file descriptors for the user running mysqldump to a sufficiently small number, (say, less than the number of tables in the database); e.g., with ksh: ulimit -n 10 3. Run mysqldump on that database with the --tab=/dir/to/dump option. 4. You should see an error when it tries to save the structure, i.e., while creating the .sql file, for the 7th table (with ulimit -n 10 in step 2). >Fix: Looks like it isn't closing any .sql files before opening others? >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> >Originator: MySQL account >Organization: Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, Arizona State University >MySQL support: none >Synopsis: mysqldump --tab exceeds user resource limit on Solaris >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Category: mysql >Class: sw-bug >Release: mysql-3.23.33 (Official MySQL binary) >Server: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin Ver 8.15 Distrib 3.23.33, for sun-solaris2.7 >on sparc Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
