How To run Multiple Storage Engines: CSV, InnoDB...

2008-05-13 Thread Robert L Cochran
I'm running MySQL 5.0.22 on CentOS 5.1 (with all current patches applied) and tried to define a table 'testcsv' using ENGINE = CSV. I couldn't find a *.CSV file in the data directory. After looking it up in MySQL Third Edition (by Paul DuBois) it turns out that I'm not running the CSV engine. My

I do not know the answer to this. I do think your machine is slow, and has too little memory. For such a large database you should have a faster processor and more memory. But, I cannot speak to how the Optimize action works. Bob Cochran Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Nathan Gross wrote: On a

I think you can just rename the directory that that database lives in. If you read the documentation for CREATE DATABASE in dev.mysql.com, you'll see they discuss renaming the directory (although it does not directly say this can be done to rename the database, but it comes really close to

You'll have to edit your input file. There will always be instances where some field is quirky and you need to fix it/them/entire rows. Don't expect the input file to be perfect. I'd also suggest that you have a test database on a test machine that is devoted entirely to getting your tables

Then you are in for quite a lot of editing work. I've done it a lot myself. Don't expect your project to be easy. Look for automated ways to edit the data according to your needs and the actual table structure. Bob Cochran Jason Ferguson wrote: The data is split into about 60 files, average

I would start by writing down what you believe the database consists of: 1. The table structures -- write them down, commit them to paper. 2. The relationships you believe exist between the tables. Document them in writing and visually. Use whatever tool works for now -- don't make the mistake

I myself want to go from version 4.1.7 to 4.1.9, so I read the upgrade page, which advises you to back up your databases. You do that with mysqldump, and that is briefly explained here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-to-arch.html I added this user comment to the page:
