Re: Replication

2001-06-01 Thread Jeremy Zawodny

 Hi there
 
 I have three sites, each runnin MYSQL. I want to replicate the data
 between all three. I know I cannot do this with the standard
 replication in MYSQL, because all three sites will add their own
 records and the manual says the slave cannot insert entries it's
 self.

Actually, you can do that with replication. You just have to get it
right. :-)

Think of it as a replication ring. Imagine 3 servers: A, B, and C.

B is a slave of A.
C is a slave of B.
A is a slave of C.

You can insert a record into one, and it will make it to the other
two. The server-id in the binary log prevents this setup from causing
an infinite loop.

The trick is making sure that you don't have inserts which try to
stomp on each other. Generally this means that you can't use
AUTO_INCREMENT columns without taking extra precautions. You need to
ensure that server A can't generate the same ID that any other server
would generate.

If this isn't obvious (not sure how much you already know about
replication), just say so. We can go into more detail.

 Hello all!
 
 I have two servers (both running mysql and freebsd) .. I also have

It is not.

 b) if not, what's the easiest way to encrypt it?

Using an SSH tunnel.

It's mentioned here:

  http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/e/Security.html

but not in very concrete terms. You might search the mail
archives. Using SSH to tunnel MySQL connections is a pretty popular
topic.

Perhaps a manual patch is in order, too... (Just need to find the
time.)

Re: root password setting error, can you help?

2001-06-01 Thread Rolf Hopkins

They do work.  Just need to follow instruction a little more closely, though
I will agree with, the instructions do trip up many beginners.  Remove
the -p switch.  It is only used if you have already set a password but since
you haven't ...

Also quotes around new-password aren't required.

 Subject: sessions problems
 
 
  Hi,
 
  I am trying to use session instead of cookies as my targeted customers are
  either behind a firewall or disable cookies.
 
  My system
  php 4.0.1pl2
  rh 7.0
 
  What would be the best way to use a session.  I a database to store
  the session id and then delete it on exit or expiry.  I hope someone can
  help me?
 
  I start of by registering a session in session.php
  ?
  session_start();
  ?
 
  I pass the session id using
  a href=test.php??=$SID?Click here/a
 
  This works fine.  I do not want any one to go to the test.php with out a
  proper session id.
 
  In the test.php I have:
  ?
  session_start();
  ?
  Some html text and a log out link.  I do I test that the session id
  created in session.php is the same as the one in test.php.  If it is wrong
  I want the viewer to go back to the sessions.php page and then come to the
  test.php.
 
  In the logout.php I have:
 
  ?
  session_destroy();
  ?
 
  According the manual this should destroy all sessions.  I get any error
  saying that the session what not started and cannot be destroyed.  So I
  added
 
  ?
  session_start();
  session_destroy();
  ?
 
  No errors but, if I use the url in the browser's history I still can go to
  the test.php page which I don't want.
 
  Regards
 
  Adrian

Hello, 

I have a following problem:
I created two simple tables and a query that uses both of
them. This works perfectly. See the example below.
The question is: is the same query possible when the two

What I mean: Is it possible to write a crossdatabase

JZ Assuming you'll use Apache 2.x one day, I'd lean away from FreeBSD

JZ (today), you'd have 2 idle CPUs and 2 busy CPUs because it'd never
JZ spread the threads from each server across the CPUs the way you'd

AFAIK you can compile mysql on FreeBSD with LinuxThreads (they have
been ported on FreeBSD). In this case threads will spread across the
CPUs as on Linux.

Re: Some minor MySQL v.3.23.38 fixes and Help corrections

2001-06-01 Thread Sinisa Milivojevic

Roberto de Martin Serqueira writes:
 Hi
 
 I'm forwarding you the attached file MYSQL_3.23.38_FIXES.ZIP which contains files 
with some minor improvements 
 and fixes done by me, updated to MySQL version 3.23.38, and presenting the following:
 
 - Directory \LIBMYSQL:
 
 - file ERRMSG.C: included section of code with client error messages translated 
also to Portuguese idiom 
 (only German and English before), being controlled by the definition or not of 
keyword PORTUGUESE 
 in files GLOBAL.H or MY_GLOBAL.H . The default idiom remains English, of course.
 
 - file LIBMYSQL.DEF: added exportation statements for functions 
mysql_change_user, mysql_character_set_name 
  and mysql_real_escape_string, which were missing and so not present in 
LIBMYSQL.DLL. The list of exportations
   of MySQL functions was also ordered alphabetically in that file for easy 
visual localization.  
 
 - Directory \SHARE\PORTUGUESE:
 
 - files ERRMSG.TXT and ERRMSG.SYS: all translations of error messages to 
Portuguese idiom were revised, 
   completed and/or improved and are tracking now exactly the current English 
version (several string length formats 
   were old). 
 
 
   Notes for correction of MySQL HELP FILES  v.3.23.38  

 
 
 - The descriptions of use of MySQL API functions mysql_odbc_escape_string, 
mysql_refresh  and  
   mysql_thread_safe (not mysql_thread_save, as referenced wrongly somewhere else in 
help file) are missing.  
 
 - The description of MySQL API function mysql_fetch_row presents the following 
prototype:
   MYSQL_ROW   mysql_fetch_row(MYSQL_RES *result), but the correct one is
   MYSQL_ROW * mysql_fetch_row(MYSQL_RES *result) (missing pointer indication in 
returned result)
 
 - There is no indication in description of MySQL API function mysql_reload, that it 
is pertinent only to 
   MySQL C API but that it doesn't exist in MySQL API provided by LIBMYSQL.DLL (but 
could be implemented by 
   function mysql_refresh and the corresponding GRANT parameter).
 
 I hope these fixes and observations can be of some value to improve even more the 
excellent MySQL Project.

Hi!

A diagnosis is quite correct, only MySQL daemon does not write
anything to console or stdout or stderr. 

It is probably a problem with mismatched version of MySQL for that
Solaris.

Hi!

Beside Ralf's comments, please follow the instructions from the
README, here is the relevant excerpt.


When you start it for the first time, click on ``Options'' button, fill up
all entries correctly and click on ``Save'' button. From then on, you will
logon automatically to the running server on every mysqlgui startup.

Take care to put the right value in ``Ask for password'' button. Also, if
you have problems with location of socket files on *nix, enter a full path
of the socket file in the ``SQL command on the start-up''. This input field
is used on Windoze if you wish to specify that named pipe option.

Re: Bug in my sql ......mysql.exe?

Hi,
I donot think it is supposed to show the number of
rows deleted or it should not show anything at all.I
agree if it is not a bug,at least it is an unwanted

When it always shows the affected number of rows as
zero though it actually deletes a million records,it
must be removed or made oK

Alternative for storing results...

2001-06-01 Thread Carlos Savoretti

Hi.

I'm using the C API to access mySQL database (trying to reuse a lot of
existing

software, mixing an old database  mySQL, but it's not the point).

Due the way the old database (named Ideafix) run the keys sometimes the
translated

query produce too many rows (running out ot memory) although I need just
one.

I would like to know if there's any way to get one row at a time
returning quickly 

(not efficient, of course) but it would work.

How I would must to do this ? By now I use:


result = mysql_store_result(connection);

row = mysql_fech_row(result);

...

RE: Problem running old database with 3.23.30-gamma

2001-06-01 Thread Beverly Baird

Tried that.

mysql ALTER TABLE Craft type=MYISAM;
ERROR 1016:  Can't open file: 'Craft.ISD'.  (errno: 138)

I have tried to run the  mysql_convert_table_format script but I can't find
any examples and I cannot get it to work either.  I'm quite sure it's
operator error in this case.

We have pulled the database off the tape onto three different machines and
it runs fine everywhere but this one.

I have re-extracted on this machine several times.

I don't think the tape is bad, it works fine elsewhere.
I don't think the extraction is the problem, I've done it several times here
and the same way as elsewhere.

I know I must be missing something - - I just can't figure out what!

 think that's not the problem.  (I believe the switch to MyISAM was at

 And it's supposed to be backwards compatible, and seems to be.

 The machine that is the problem is a linux box running RedHat 6.2.

BACKUP/RESTORE speed and delayed index creation.

2001-06-01 Thread Peter Zaitsev

Hello mysql,

  Today I played a little bit with two different ways of backup -
  first one is to use BACKUP TABLE (which works for myisam only) and
  the second one is SAVE DATA/LOAD DATA.

  In both cases if I'm not mistaken the file is wrote by mysqld server
  so there is no communication overhead.

  The table was about 3mil of rows  250MB in size, has 2 indexes.

  So the speeds are:
  
  BACKUP TABLE:
  backup: 26sec  restore: 3min.15sec

  SAVE DATA/LOAD DATA
  dump:  4.5min  restore: 40min

  Then I tried to drop all indexes from the table and tried to do
  restore again it went in:   31min


  The output from backup was 250MB, save file - 400MB.


  These speeds was really strange for me, I did't expect so huge
  difference in speads, as I don't see there it should get from. The
  save data outfile operation should be quite fast as the speed of
  text parsing should be the real limit, also the really surprising
  was so slow speed of import data from text, even with no indexes on
  the table if we would look at the speed it's only about 1000 rows
  per second  which is quite slow.

mysql load data infile 'testout2' into table t30;
Query OK, 100 rows affected (22.23 sec)
Records: 100  Deleted: 0  Skipped: 0  Warnings: 0

Thus for these small rows it is 45 000 rows/second on Linux-2.4

What is your table definition like? What is the OS and file system?

 Howdy all...
 
 I've run into a strange date problem as of midnight, May 1, 2001 on my
 i686 Linux machine running mySQL 3.23.37.
 
 For some reason, queries can no longer compare dates properly:
 
mysql select count(*) from hit where date  NOW()-1135560;
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
| 2633 |
+--+
1 row in set (2.05 sec)
 
mysql select count(*) from hit where date  NOW()-1145560;
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
|0 |
+--+
1 row in set (2.05 sec)
 
mysql select NOW()-1135560,NOW()-1145560;
+++
| NOW()-1135560  | NOW()-1145560  |
+++
| 2001057384 | 2001047384 |
+++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 
mysql describe hit;
++--+--+-+-+---+
| Field  | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
++--+--+-+-+---+
| dig_id | int(10) unsigned |  | MUL | 0   |   |
| date   | timestamp(14)| YES  | | NULL|   |
| ip | varchar(16)  | YES  | | NULL|   |
| site   | varchar(255) | YES  | | NULL|   |
++--+--+-+-+---+
 
 NOW() is being expanded properly, yet for some reason the comparison
 of hit.date with NOW()-n fails when n is larger than an abitrary number.
 As it becomes later and later in the day, n becomes larger and larger
 (so eventually it will reach 1970 and everything will work again).
 
 I've optimized the tables, but don't really have any other good ideas.
 For now, I'm just doing
 
select count(*) as hits, substring(date,1,8) as foo from hit where ip NOT like 
x.x.x.% AND ip !=  x.x.x.x group by foo order by foo desc limit 10;
 
 to get the count of most recent hits instead of the faster
 
select count(*) as hits, substring(date,1,8) as whee  from hit where date  NOW() 
- 1000 AND ip NOT like 64.5.98.% AND ip !=  141.142.22.95 group by whee order 
by whee desc;
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 
 Chris
 
 P.S.  For those who are curious, the database tracks views of plant photos
   on my Web site in real-time, including sites that have inlined.

You are clearly missing the documentation. It's probably installed on

Re: Question for a MYSQL expert (I assume this list has some)...

2001-06-01 Thread Steve Ruby



What you are asking to do is not built into MySQL :(

Mysql matintains its own internal database locking that would not
be shared amongs the other computers, if you have multiple machines
reading a writing to the same database file you will corrupt it
in short order.

Your best bet in such an environment (IMHO) would be to better
arrange your database(s) so that they can be logicaly split amongst
multiple computers.  You can still use the common drive array as
long as you don't have multiple computers assigned to the same
database.  

For example we have some systems that devide sessiontracking,
order management, catalog images, separately.  We have another
system that that has databases split along a logical divider and
a single database that acts as an index server. For example if you
are managing a collaboration software type database break your
projects to different servers by the letter they start with, or
simply round robin their creation across multiple servers and maintain
a single server that has the index containing which project is on
which server.  Back up all of the servers independantly and you're
ready to do.. You can get pretty big doing it like this.  Maintenance
is a little higher than for a single master database, but again, mysql
doesn't do that, so if you want to use mysql think differently.

It may be possible to maintain multiple read servers and a single
master write/update server while attached to the same database, but
the way I see it this wont' work either given the way MySQL caches
indexes and the servers will cache the file system (databases).


Quite frankly ebay, Microsoft, apple and amazon are not using MySQL
in environments that require multiple servers to accomplish single
data management tasks.

 same time, so we need a large pool of Linux servers that are
 load-balanced.  Then, all these servers, each of which will run Apache and
 MySQL (or another database if MySQL just can't handle the load), needs to
 access the single large RAID disk array through a giga-bit network connection.
 
 Certainly, this is not uncommon, as any large database driven website needs
 to have a similar setup (like eBay, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, etc.).  The
 servers need to be setup in a cluster to provide the required
 high-availability.  Also, replication will NOT work, as we need changes to
 the database to be immediately available to everyone else, and managing 100
 or more replicated databases would be a nightmare.
 
 So, how do we get support in MySQL so that multiple instances of the mysqld
 daemon running on separate machines can all access the same database files
 located on a central server?  I can see how the file system of the central
 database server could be exported through NFS (or something similar) so
 that all the machines in the cluster can access the database files.  I also
 imagine the daemons would need to have some sort of locking mechanism to
 avoid stepping on each other.
 
 Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
 
 Thanks

Re: what's the problem????

2001-06-01 Thread Jorge del Conde

Hi

Have you installed the service in the CSM (console service manager) yet ?

Go to the command prompt and type [mysql_dir]\bin\mysqld-nt --install
(mysqld-max-nt for MySQL MAX).

Afterwards start the service by either going to the CSM and starting it or
by typing net start mysql from the command prompt.

Regards,
Jorge

Can the user which `mysqld' is running as actually read the files?
Check the file ownership and permissions. Also, you might check to see

MySQL remote connect

2001-06-01 Thread Peter D Bethke

Hello all,

I'm running MySQL on SuSE Linux 7.0.

I've been unable to connect to MySQL from a client on a remote system (both
systems behind the firewall) using a username/pw set up locally using the
GRANT ALL ON *.* TO user@% identified by password command.

I know this is a big security hole to grant universal permissions in this
way, but I'm just trying to connect from anywhere else but locally, which i
can do.

When trying to connect, I get the host malacoda.local is not allowed to
connect to this MySQL server. Malacoda.local being the remote system that
is set up in the local hosts file on the Linux system.

It's my understanding that setting up universal access using the grant
command will allow my to connect from anywhere regardless of host name or IP
addresss.

Is there any other place, port setting, etc. I need to configure to get this
darned thing to work?

Best,

Peter Bethke

If you're installing from a CD, then presumably whoever put the distribution

Re: Question for a MYSQL expert (I assume this list has some)...

2001-06-01 Thread Kenneth Kopelson

Thank you Steve, I appreciate your response :)  I have considered modifying 
MySQL to do what I have asked for, but I didn't want to do that until I 
verified it wasn't already available somewhere.  I'll bet this feature is 
something that others would be interested in as well.

On the note of what eBay and others are using, do you have a suggestion of 
a database that would do what we are wanting, and also be as efficient as 
MySQL is?  I really like MySQL's many features like regular expressions in 
queries, the fact that you can easily retrieve the auto-increment value 
that was used on an INSERT (not an easy task on others DBs I have used), 
and many other features.

Perhaps an open-source project to add shared DB capabilities would be 
something worth starting.  I myself am a C++ developer with over 23 years 
experience, so maybe I can join with some others who are interested, and we 
can start a project.  If anyone on this list would be interested in 
discussing the possibilities of joining in such an effort, please let me know.

Displaying MySQL database with DATE_FORMAT

2001-06-01 Thread Tim Thorburn

Hi,

I've developed a simple search engine for a site I'm working on.  Its 
purpose is to display community events based on the users input criteria.

The problem is, if I use the DATE_FORMAT command to alter the appearance of 
the events dates and times - then MySQL begins at the top of the list using 
the exact order of dates and times, rather than listening to the initial 
query and taking only the relevant dates and times.

However, if I leave out the DATE_FORMAT and TIME_FORMAT commands, it works 
perfectly, just without the nice friendly display.  Any thoughts?

Here is a sample of my script:
if (!$db)
{
echo Error: Could not connect to database.  Please try again later.;
exit;
}


$query = select * from comcal2001 where .$searchtype. like 
'%.$searchterm.%';
$result = mysql_query($query, $db);
 $resultdate = mysql_query (SELECT DATE_FORMAT(EventStartDate, '%W %M 
%D %Y') AS EventStartDate FROM comcal2001);
 $resulttime = mysql_query (SELECT TIME_FORMAT(EventStartTime, '%r') 
AS EventStartTime FROM comcal2001);
if (!$result)
echo Error running query: $querybr.mysql_error($db);
else
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
$num_rows = mysql_numrows($result);

echo pNumber of Events found: .$num_rows./p;

for ($i=0; $i  $num_rows; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo pb.($i+1).. Event: ;
echo ($row[EventName]);
echo /bbrMonth: ;
echo ($row[EventMonth]);
echo brLocation: ;
echo ($row[EventLocation]);
echo brCity: ;
echo ($row[EventCity]);

$rowtime = mysql_fetch_array($resulttime);

Logging/Stats individual entries..

2001-06-01 Thread Ashwin Kutty

Hi,

I was wondering if someone knew of a way to keep stats of records that
were being used from a Table in a DB.. i.e. I have a table with URL's in
them and when a search is done, it returns a certain number of records..
I want to know, which exact record the user click's on and uses, not the
query itself.. Is there some counting method of sorts implemented in
such a way?

The only way I have been able to think of is JavaScript.. Is there any
other way possible to do this?

Thanks..

I think your doing FAR more work than you need to.  I'm also not getting
what you mean by it not paying attention to the initial query.

I suggest you combine those 3 queries into one, just like this:
SELECT somefield1, somefield2, DATE_FORMAT(EventStartDate, '%W %M %D %Y') AS
FormattedEventStartDate, TIME_FORMAT(EventStartTime, '%r') AS
FormattedEventStartTime FROM comcal2001 WHERE blah

Re: myisamchk --sort-records extremely slow

  I have a rather large MyISAM table (~230 million rows) running under
  MySQL 3.23.30.  It has 10 columns and 3 indices.  The data and index
  files each occupy about 10GB.
  
  My problem is that sorting the rows using myisamchk --sort-records
  takes an extremely long time.  The last sort took 95 hours (that's
  right...almost four days).
  
  The machine is a four-processor Sun E450 with 4GB of memory.
  The OS is Solaris 2.7.  The database files reside on a 12-disk
  SCSI RAID 5 array.  The machine was essentially idle with the
  exception of the sort job.
  
  The previous time I ran myisamchk --sort-records, the table
  had ~170 million rows, and it only took 12 hours.
  
  The specific command I used in both cases was:
  myisamchk -O sort_buffer_size=1024M -O key_buffer_size=1024M 
  -O read_buffer_size=64M -O write_buffer_size=64M --sort-records=2
  
  95 hours to sort and reindex 10 GB of data does not seem
  reasonable.  Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
 
 Off the top of my head, I'd suggest increasing the size of the read
 and write buffers.
 
 If you run vmstat (or something similar) when the sort is going on, do
 you see lots of CPU use, lots of I/O, both, neither? You won't get
 much help from the other 3 CPUs, but you should be able to get a lot
 done with 4GB of RAM.

Thanks Jeremy.  Next time I'll increase the sizes of the read and
write buffers, but I'm still curious why a 35% increase in data would
result in 8 times the execution time.

The only thing I did differently between the 12 hour run and the 
4-day run was that for the latter I did not sort the index tree
blocks first (myisamchk --sort-index).  Do you think that would
make a difference?

During the latest run I monitored mpstat.  The processor that the
myisamchk process happened to be on always had a low idle time, but
user time was only ~20% and system time was ~10%.  Wait time was of
course the balance.

JOIN-problems

2001-06-01 Thread Ville Mattila

Hi there,

I have five tables in the database: customers, orders, ordercontents, products and 
payments. The problem is that I should get a list which shows some kind of a ledger 
list (shows who has paid and so on).

My first try looks like this:
SELECT orders.OrderID, customers.Name, SUM(ordercontents.Amount * products.Price) AS 
TotalSum, SUM(payments.PaidFIM) AS TotalPaid FROM orders
LEFT JOIN customers ON (customers.CustID = orders.CustID)
LEFT JOIN payments ON (payments.OrderID = orders.OrderID)
LEFT JOIN ordercontents ON (ordercontents.OrderID = orders.OrderID)
LEFT JOIN products ON (products.ProdID = ordercontents.ProdID)
WHERE orders.Cancelled=0 AND ordercontents.Removed=0;

That's it... I hope that you understood the structure. Also there should be noticed 
that the order can have many different products ordered (listed on ordercontents 
-table) and also that there can be many separated payments for same order.

Now this query works, but it doesn't return correct amounts for TotalPaid and TotalSum 
-columns.

Thanks for help,
- Ville Mattila, Ikaalinen, Finland

I am not sure this is the correct list for this but here goes...If not
the correct list any idea where I might find some help?

I have a site that is working everywhere except on a submition page and I
keep getting an error that states


ADODB.Connection.1 error '80004005'
SQLState: 42000
Native Error Code: 1064
[TCX][MyODBC]You have an error in your SQL syntax near '' at line 1

/profile/chemistrymatch/final.asp, line 633

I'm working with the latest stable MySQL

I've attached the final.asp page that is throwing out the error

Thank You!

Re: myisamchk --sort-records extremely slow

2001-06-01 Thread Michael Villalba

Thanks for your detailed and comprehensive response, Steve.

I should have mentioned that the RAID 5 array is provided by an A1000
RAID unit.  It is configured to have one logical unit.

Both the MySQL data and temporary directories are on the A1000.

All 12 drives in the A1000 are 18 GB Seagates (same model).  All the
drives were delivered with the unit.

The E450 has 4 400MHz processors installed.  It has one additional
Symbios controller.

Subject: Re: myisamchk --sort-records extremely slow


 Perhaps the physical layout of your disk drives are contributing to the
 'slowness'...

 - Are the 12 drives making up the SCSI RAID 5 array the only drives in the
 system ?
 - Do you have the O/S and/or the 'temp' area being used by MySQL on
 different drive devices than the RAID array ?  (is the 'temp' area a 'RAID
 5' partition ?)
 - How many SPARC CPU's (and what 'speed') are installed in the system ?
 - What are the 'size' of the disk drives ?  Are they all identical drive
 models ?
 - How many Symbios SCSI controller cards (besides the initial 'onboard'
 controller) are installed in the system ?

 If you are reading,  and writing, the data to and from the same 12 drives
 that make up the RAID 5 array,  you would see an I/O bottlekneck (though,
 with 4 gigabytes of RAM,  it should be able to 'buffer' a lot of the I/O
 transactions).   Not only is 'writing' to RAID 5 arrays slow, the more
 devices (above 8) used in a RAID-5 array,  the longer it takes for all
 drives to 'respond' to any SCSI commands (and I doubt that the 'block' or
 'data segment' reads/writes are spread across all 12 drives).   AND,  if
you
 originally created the RAID array with less drives, and have been
 'extending' it,  the 'parity' sectors would only be located on the
original
 drives in the array, which take the 'brunt' of the parity calculation
 'writes'...

 The Sun E450 is capable of having a total of 5 SCSI controller 'paths'
 (visibly seen as 5 SCSI cables) when 2 additional Symbios 'dual path' SCSI
 controllers are installed.   Though the system can hold a total of 20 disk
 drives,  it's very limited to how they can be arranged for performance and
 availability (see the crude chart below).

 The only efficient (and safe) manner of drive installation and
configuration
 in an E450, is to create 5 drive 'arrays' using disks that are installed
on
 each of the 'paths'.  This allows concurrent controller access and spreads
 the 'bandwidth' over all 5.   And, if 1 controller 'chip' fails,  the RAID
 remains intact (though if an entire Symbios 'card' fails,  you'd lose 2
 paths/drives and the data as well).

 If your table(s) have grown larger than a 5 drive array (when if 'raided'
 would only equal 4 drives in disk space), you'd have to 'break' the method
 described above,  or use MySQL's ability to 'stripe' the database across
 different partitions.

 If you can fit individual tables within the 5 drive arrays,  have you
 considered locating the different tables on separate arrays ??


 Sun E450 drive bay configuration:

 Drive slots

 18 19
 16 17
 SCSI Controller 3  4 
 14 15
 12 13

 10 11
   8   9
 SCSI Controller 1  2 
6  7
4  5

 SCSI controller 0 (on-board chip)  2  3
 0  1

 Preferred drive configuration:
 O/S (Solaris partitions) - mirrored on drives 0  1
 Data - RAID 5 array on drives 2, 6, 10, 14, 18
 Data - RAID 5 array on drives 3, 7, 11, 15, 19
 Indexes - Mirrored drives 4  12, 8  16 (note: each 'half' of the
 mirror is located on a different SCSI 'card' as well as 'path', to protect
 against an entire 'card' failing)
 Temp - Mirrored drives 5  13

I would reccomend Linux with kernel 2.4.

You should use a journalised filesystem, of course.
Now, while ReiserFS does better when it comes to handling lots of small
files, XFS is better at ensuring high I/O rates, especially for
simultaneous access to large files in heavy-loaded SMP environments,
because that's what it was designed for.
So, it's better suited for databases, such as MySQL.

XFS-1.0 is already available for Linux (kernel 2.4), and it's fully
stable. You can download it from here:

http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

Or, if you prefer, get an ISO image containing a modified Red Hat 7.1
kit, able to install itself directly on XFS, from here:

 AFAIK you can compile mysql on FreeBSD with LinuxThreads (they have

Funny you mention that... It comes up once in a while, but almost
everytime it's someone saying I've heard that you can... I've yet to

I'm not saying it's bad, but it just seems like one of those things

When FreeBSD catches up, I'll glady switch [back] to it. :-)

That's indeed how you do it.  REVOKE doesn't remove the account record
from the user table, so you must DELETE it explicitly to remove not
just the account's privileges, but the account itself as well.
