Baron Schwartz: I’m a Postgres user, as it turns out
Someone recently posted this to an email list as a sample of an interesting SHOW INNODB STATUS output:
mysql> SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G
_______ _______
|\ /|( ____ \( ____ \
| ) ( || ( \/| ( \/
| | | || (_____ | (__
| | | |(_____ )| __)
| | | | ) || (
| (___) |/\____) || (____/\
(_______)\_______)(_______/
_______ _______ _______ _________ _______ _______ _______ _______
( ____ )( ___ )( ____ \\__ __/( ____ \( ____ )( ____ \( ____ \
| ( )|| ( ) || ( \/ ) ( | ( \/| ( )|| ( \/| ( \/
| (____)|| | | || (_____ | | | | | (____)|| (__ | (_____
| _____)| | | |(_____ ) | | | | ____ | __)| __) (_____ )
| ( | | | | ) | | | | | \_ )| (\ ( | ( ) |
| ) | (___) |/\____) | | | | (___) || ) \ \__| (____/\/\____) |
|/ (_______)\_______) )_( (_______)|/ \__/(_______/\_______)
I thought it was worth trying out, so I gave it a shot:
mysql> use postgres
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'postgres'
Clearly I just need to create the database. Short work:
mysql> create database postgres;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> use postgres
Database changed
So now I’m using Postgres. I still feel like I’m missing something, though. It feels a lot like reading XKCD comics. Where’s the tooltip?
