 INTERVAL is a keyword.  This is probably the root of the hiccup.
 Is that your Stored Function?  Or UDF?

 While doning a batch process...

 so you take this same query... run it isolated, and the mufu... is
 just...f fast!
 
 
 update `account` set `balance`= 0.00 + '-4000' where accountid='2583092'
 Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
 Rows matched: 1  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0
 
 
 ARRRG!  I have seen this type of query take as long as 100+ seconds.. and
I
 don't have a F*** clue...
 

2 things come to mind here...

1)  indexes could not be set, so it may cause huge slowdowns on bigger
tables

2)  it could have been fast because of query caching, so it may have cached
the index you were updating for, which may make it work fast.  Also, if
you run it manually, the first time may be slow, and subsequent attempts are
faster (again, caching)

I may be wrong here, but something to check out.

Try this:

Explain SELECT * FROM `account` WHERE accountid='2583092';

That will tell you what indexes it is using, if any

I think you can scan the syslog for the mysql daemon, and it will show you
any crashed, or problematic tables?

If this is in fact the case, you could try that, and then run though the
tables to check them later?

Just pushing out a thought...

Group_Concat help...

2012-03-19 Thread Steven Staples
Hello!

I am trying to do something, but I can't seem to figure out how...

My query is as follows:
SELECT `user_id`, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT `login_ip`) AS 'login_ips',
COUNT(`id`) AS 'connections'
FROM `mysql_test`
WHERE `login_datetime` BETWEEN '2012-03-19 00:00:00' AND '2012-03-19
23:59:59'
GROUP BY `user_id`
HAVING COUNT(`id`)  2
ORDER BY COUNT(`id`) DESC 
LIMIT 0, 15;


This query works, it gives me results like:
user_id  login_ipsconnections  
---  ---  -
  1  192.168.0.200,192.168.0.201  5


But what I am looking to add, is the number of connections per IP, so it
would look kinda something like this:
user_id  login_ipsconnections  
---  ---  -
  1  192.168.0.200 (1),192.168.0.201 (3)  5

Is this possible to do with just 1 query?  If so, how would I go about doing
it??


And the table schema:
CREATE TABLE `mysql_test` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `user_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `login_datetime` timestamp NOT NULL default CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `login_ip` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=6 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

here is the data in my table:
id  user_id  login_datetime   login_ip   
--  ---  ---  ---
 11  2012-03-19 11:57:38  192.168.0.200  
 21  2012-03-19 11:57:40  192.168.0.201  
 31  2012-03-19 11:57:42  192.168.0.200  
 41  2012-03-19 11:57:43  192.168.0.200  
 51  2012-03-19 11:57:45  192.168.0.201

Thanks for the reply Mihail.
I was initially doing it that way, but if you look at the example of what I
wanted as a reply, it doesn't work.
I was hoping for a result that I could just plop into the PHP code, and I
wouldn't have to manipulate it at all, but so far, it looks like I am going
to have to do that... unless anyone else here has another idea...

MySQL Session Variables with PHP

2012-02-22 Thread Steven Staples
Good [insert time of day here] all!

I am trying to reorder my auto-inc field in my database, and I have
successfully done it with my front end that I use (SQLYog) with the
following code:

SET @var_name = 0; 
UPDATE `my_database`.`my_table` SET `id` = (@var_name := @var_name +1);


Now, when I try this within PHP... I can't get it to work at all.  I assume
that the SET is the issue, but I am not 100% sure.

I use the PEAR MDB2 class, and I have tried it in 1 statement, but it
failed, and I tried it with 2 statements, it didn't puke on it, but it
didn't work either.

?php
# db connection is already set up #
echo $db-exec('SET @var_name = 0;')
echo 'br /';
echo $db-exec('UPDATE `my_database`.`my_table` SET `id` =
(@var_name:= @ var_name +1);');
exit;
?

Does anyone know how I can do this within PHP?  Worst case scenario, is that
I just write a php shell() command instead, but I would rather avoid that if
at all possible.

Thanks in advance!

 The manual warns us not to rely on repeat user var assignments, but your
 approach works for me:
 
 $conn=mysql_connect( ... );
 mysql_select_db(test);
 mysql_query( drop table if exists t ) or exit(mysql_error());
 mysql_query( create table t (id int) ) or exit(mysql_error());
 for( $i=0; $i10; $i++ ) mysql_query( insert into t values(0) ) or
 exit(mysql_error());
 mysql_query( set @var=0 ) or exit(mysql_error());
 mysql_query( update t set id=(@var:=@var+1) ) or exit(mysql_error());
 $res = mysql_query( select id from t ) or exit(mysql_error());
 while( $row = mysql_fetch_row( $res )) echo $row[0],  ;
 
 Output: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
 
 PB
 

I feel like a TOTAL newb here...

If you look at my php example, I forgot the ; at the end of the first db
query... so it failed out silently (my php errors are off, changed that too)

Now it works... lol


As for why I want to do this?  I have a table that I constantly add, and
remove items from, and I do it by looking up, and then deleting them (it is
a long story/process).   Anyways, the script stops every 8 hours, and
restarts.  So what I want to do, is reset all the auto-inc counters back to
starting at 1, so that they don't get too large and out of control.   I
don't need to reference the ID's anywhere else, just when I go through each
iteration.   I know that this *could* be bad for most databases/tables, but
in my case, it is not going to be an issue.

Thanks, and sorry for my ID10T error, since it works just fine!

Relication Issues

2011-11-10 Thread Steven Staples
Good morning list,

I am having issues with my replication setup. it seems that every few
weeks/months something happens, and I have to restart it, skip a row, or
delete, rsync and restart replication from scratch.

The databases that are being replicated, are rather large... there are about
12 new tables every year, each consisting of about 2-4g in size each
(today's total database size is 83g).

Again, things work fine for a while, and then there are issues.  The
backup/slave is on the same network/datacenter, so network speed isn't an
issue.  I just don't understand why inconsistencies keep arising.   Is there
a better way to do live backups, or have a hot space in the event of a
catastrophe?   Is there 3rd party software that would better achieve data
integrity or something?

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Steve.

RE: Relication Issues

2011-11-10 Thread Steven Staples
My Apologies,

The tables are all MyISAM, most of the inserts/updates/deletes are done
through stored procedures on the master.  There are about 2 stored procedure
calls per second, consisting of a whole bunch of queries, updates, and
inserts within them.

The latest issue(s) we're having, are:

Could not execute Write_rows event on table xxx.x; Duplicate entry
'20-1016792' for key 'PRIMARY', Error_code: 1062; handler error
HA_ERR_FOUND_DUPP_KEY; the event's mas
 
Could not execute Write_rows event on table xxx.x; Duplicate entry
'44870420' for key 'PRIMARY', Er 

Update_rows event on table xxx.x; Can't find record in 'x',
Error_code: 1032; handler error HA_ERR_KEY

(Where xxx is the databse, and x is the table)

The replication broke yesterday morning for some reason, and the primary key
index was at around 900,000.  When we found out it was down, and ended up
getting to work on it, we tried to restart it and the next ID it was
inserting for was 1,016,792.   So we're missing about 100,000 enteries, and
they are not in the bin log (as far as I can see).

 Where Appts on 8/28/2010 instead includes whatever tomorrow's date is

 Is it possible to do something like this in a MySQL query?

RE: Moving from one MySQL server to three MySQL servers?

2010-08-05 Thread Steven Staples
Have you double checked the hardware?   Are you using 5400rpm drives, or 15k
rpm drives?   I/O bottlenecks are common, if you can't read the data fast
enough, then it will definitely be slower, and appear to have more issues
that it really does.   If the client can't/won't change/alter the code, then
maybe looking at changing the hardware would be better.  Having a smaller
drive size raid array with faster harddrives may solve the I/O bottleneck if
that is the case.

And maybe it is just poorly written queries with crappy indexing? Maybe look
at the slow query log, and ensure that the RIGHT indexes are there
(140gb/21gb index doesn't mean that the indexes are the correct ones)

Going to a replication setup may not be the solution to your problems, and
could just be a bandaid (and prolly cause you many sleepless nights
maintaining data integrity).   Find out the cause of the problem, before
adding to it.

 Quad core server and it pretty much came down to it's knees within two
 hours of
 running tests.  The customer DOES NOT WANT to change any code, they just
 want to
 throw hardware at it since it took them a year to create all of the code.
 It is
 a 140GB database with 21GB of indexs all using InnoDB - currently doing
70%
 reads and 30% writes.
 
 My question is what is the best way of distributing the load without
 changing
 any of the php / perl code that their web server uses?  This is what I am
 thinking but need someone to tell me it is a good idea or bad please?
 
 1. Setup a single master and 2 slaves.  The question is how to tell the
web
 servers to get all the read data from the slaves and to only write to the
 master?
 
 2. Install a MySQL proxy box and let mysql proxy handle the load, problem
 is now
 it is the SPOF!
 
 3. Use DNS round robin, BUT how to tell round robin to ONLY go to master
 for
 writes and ONLY use one of the 2 slaves for reads?
 
 Any links, ideas or suggestions is most appreciated.
 
 TIA...
 
 Nunzio

RE: [MySQL] Re: Decimal points

2010-07-20 Thread Steven Staples
Just out of curiosity, why not do it in the application layer?

Or maybe, you can try:
SELECT BINARY 1+1.2;
=  2.2
SELECT BINARY 1+1.0;
= 2
SELECT CAST(1+1.2 AS UNSIGNED);
= 2
SELECT CAST(1+1.6 AS UNSIGNED);
= 3 (so I guess rounding happens here)

And then I guess ultimately, you could also use FLOOR() CEIL() or ROUND()
SELECT ROUND(1+1.6, 0);
= 3
SELECT FLOOR(1+1.6);
= 2
SELECT CEIL(1+1.6);
= 3

RE: Why is MySQL always linked to Php?

2010-07-15 Thread Steven Staples
MySQL and PHP go together very well in the web development world.  Almost
all of PHP websites use MySQL as their database storage engine, as almost
all hosting companies have installed PHP and MySQL on their servers.

Maybe the jobs you're looking at, are for programmers/developers, who can
take care of the mysql as well?

 Subject: Why is MySQL always linked to Php?
 
 Browsing the Web I've seen that usually companies look for developers
 working on MySQL and Php. Why are the two things linked? I mean I've not
 found any requests for just a MySQL developer or DBA (as for example it
 happens for Oracle), but it's always requested a MySQL/Php expert.
 I ask for it 'cause I've always been a developer/DBA on RDBMS (Oracle and
 DB2) and as I've been learning MySQL for few weeks, I'd like to know
 whether and why it's so important to learn Php as well. It would be so
 difficult to find a job as MySQL developer/DBA without knowing Php as
well.
 Thanks!

RE: phpMyAdmin and other management tools

2010-07-02 Thread Steven Staples
I personally use SQLYog, and as for it not having the query creation... it
has a fairly decent query builder, but it is in the paid version, not the
community one.

I like all the features it has, and I use most of them.  Granted, it is
always a good idea to know how to use the command line, just incase you're
locked out of it somehow, or if you need to repair, backup or create users.
But if you're a windoze user, 99% of them don't know what a command line is
:)

RE: Two Primary Keys

2010-06-29 Thread Steven Staples
@Dušan Pavlica;

I must say thank you.  
This is really interesting, and in the 7 years I've been using mysql and sql, 
I've never know this (or had, but didn't realize what I had done).
This little bit of information could make for some interesting changes to a 
couple of my projects I am working on, where I've done this, but done it in

 Hi,
 
 try this and you will see exactly how autoincrement behaves in MyISAM
 tables when it is part of primary key.
 
 1) declare table like this:
 CREATE TABLE  `test_tbl` (
   `field1` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
   `field2` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `field3` char(10) NOT NULL default '',
   PRIMARY KEY  (`field1`,`field2`)
 ) ENGINE=MyISAM;
 
 2) then insert some values
 INSERT INTO test_tbl (field1, field3)
 VALUES(1,'test1'),(2,'test2'),(1,'test3'),(2,'test4');
 
 3) see what's in the table
 SELECT * FROM test_tbl ORDER BY field1;
 
 result is:
 1, 1, 'test1'
 1, 2, 'test3'
 2, 1, 'test2'
 2, 2, 'test4'
 
 field2 is unique only in context of  field1.
 
 Hth,

  As far as I know, if you have an auto_increment primary key, you cant
 have
  any other field in its primary key.
 
 
 
  Makes sense. Actually, I was just copying what someone else gave me and
  adding the auto_increment, then I got to wondering, what is the purpose
 of
  having two primary keys?

MySQL Upgrading

2010-06-23 Thread Steven Staples
Hi,

I am looking at upgrading my servers Debian version from Etch to Lenny, and
in doing that, I think it will upgrade MySQL from 5.0.32 to the lenny
version, which is  5.0.53 (I think).

I have also been thinking about using the 'dotdeb' packages, which will
upgrade it even further to 5.1.47.  I have done this on a test server, and
it all my stored procedures and stuff work fine, so now to my question.

Will this break any replication if I don't upgrade my replication server
that is still running 5.0.32 (until I upgrade that server as well, which
could be a few weeks due to timing)?

The other issue, is that the replication server is running multiple
instances of the same MySQL on different ports, so that I can replicate
multiple sources to a single server (that has attached tape drives for
backup purposes), is it possible to run both versions of mysql (the 5.0.32
and the 5.1.47)?granted, this is not the debian mailing list, just
thought I would ask that last part ;)

Table Consistency/analize/check/repair

2010-06-18 Thread Steven Staples
Hello,

I had an issue yesterday, where one of my tables ended up being closed
improperly, and needed to be repaired.   This isn't really an issue in
itself, but I didn't know about it until 2 hours after it happened, and a
script was trying to write to that table, and it failed, which caused a
backup on that script for inserting into another table.

ANYWAY, what I am wondering is, is what would be the best way to check all
my tables for errors/issues, and then run a repair on the table if it finds
an issue?

I have at least 30 tables, each having about 3-6 million rows in each, and
each table is about 2-3gigabytes in size.   So, I would like to be able to
check them only if they have anything that has changed (there is a table
created for each month of the year, for the last 2 years), it would be nice
if I didn't have to stop or put a lock on each table if I didn't have to,
and it would also be great if it was quick (running at like 2am, and
completing before 6am would be my time frame, and then Sunday morning from
2am to 8-10am is ok)

Any ideas for scripts, or premade scripts would be great.  Also, if this
would traverse to the slave mysql server too, that would be ideal.

Thanks in advance,

Steven Staples

analyze table issue

2010-06-18 Thread Steven Staples
Ok, I know I am an idiot sometimes, and I think this falls into that
category.

I use SQLYog as my MySQL front end editor.   I was looking to do some
things, and was going to run a check table command, and clicked the
analyze button, and didn't realize that all the tables in the database
were selected.

Long story short, that was at 9am this morning, and it is 230pm now, and it
is still running.  What are the ramifications of killing that process?

The database is only a total of 8 tables, and consuming about 20gb, but it
is approaching home time, and I don't want this to run all weekend long...

Can I just kill it, or will it corrupt the table it is currently on?

RE: Strange GREATEST() result in 5.0.32

2010-06-16 Thread Steven Staples
Baron,

Out of curiosity, do you (or anyone else) know what could be an issue with
upgrading to even 5.0.93?  or even the 5.1 branch?

There are a lot of stored procedures/functions, as well as the fact that it
is being replicated (the backup server is running multiple instances, and
is replicating 3 other servers).   So, all the sql databases will have to
be updated/upgraded, but is there anything I/we should be made aware of
before we go ahead? (there is a lot of release notes to sift through)

 It sounds like you're running into a bug, simply put.  5.0.32 is very
 old and an amazing amount of bugs have been fixed since then.  I would
 not even consider running it in production.  I know it'll be tough to
 upgrade, but if you don't, my experience is that another of the
 unfixed bugs is going to cause you serious pain anyway, such as
 crashing your server.

 It has to do with the order in which things happen in the query. The

 query. There is no way that the results could be named so that the WHERE

 the clauses processed after the WHERE clause - the GROUP BY and HAVING
 clauses.
 
 Try this as an alternative:

Strange GREATEST() result in 5.0.32

2010-06-01 Thread Steven Staples
Hello all

I have a stored procedure that probably does a lot more than it should, but
it works fine on my test server (which is running 5.0.67).   When I moved it
over to the production server, (which is running 5.0.32 and I never thought
to check that the versions were the same before) it works almost perfectly.

The issue is when this runs:
GREATEST(d_UPDATE_Time, d_START_Time)

The value is '2010-05-21 20:26:18' and not '2010-05-26 21:49:51' even though
it is greater.


Both of these variables are declared in the top of the procedure:
DECLARE d_UPDATE_Time DATETIME;
DECLARE d_START_Time DATETIME;

When I put this in, to see the values of the variables, I get the right
data:
SELECT d_UPDATE_Time, d_START_Time;

d_UPDATE_Timed_START_Time  
---  ---
2010-05-26 21:49:51  2010-05-21 20:26:18


So if I ran this from the command line:
SELECT GREATEST('2010-05-26 21:49:51', '2010-05-21 20:26:18');

I get:
RESULT
---
2010-05-26 21:49:51


So it works perfectly fine when it runs outside of the stored procedure, but
inside the procedure, it returns the wrong date :(

Is there something I am doing wrong?   I can't seem to see anything wrong.
Also, upgrading from 5.0.32 would require upgrading both the master and
slave, and right now, that is not a good idea (we are discussing it though)

RE: Using RAND to get a unique ID that has not been used yet

2010-05-28 Thread Steven Staples
If you wanted to use/go that route, then why not select a random limit 1
from that table, and then delete that row?

SELECT `column` FROM `table` ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1;


On a side note, I would use the auto-inc field still, and store this number
in another field.

 Subject: Re: Using RAND to get a unique ID that has not been used yet
 
 If your specs are that specific (IDs must be between 1 and 99)
 then you could create a 99-row table with one integer column and
 prefill it with the numbers 1 to 99 in random order.
 
 Then you could write a function that would select and return the first
 number in the table, then delete that record so you would not reuse
 it.
 
 Once you've done the work of sorting 99 numbers in random order
 (which can be done anywhich way) it's easy and you don't have to loop
 an indeterminant number of times.  You would be looping an increasing
 number of times as you begin to fill up the table.

  Hi All,
 
  I have a table that uses auto_increment to generate the Id automatically
 working fine. However, I need to create a new table where the Id must be a
 number generated randomly, so I cannot use the auto_increment.
 
  MySQL has a function RAND. So I could use something like this:
 
  SELECT FLOOR(RAND() * COUNT(*)) AS RandId FROM mytable
 
  But, let's suppose that the RandId is a number that was already used in
 the table. Then I need to run the SELECT again and again until I find a
 number that hasn't been used.
 
  Is there a way to have this SELECT to loop until it finds a number that
 hasn't been used?
 
  The RandId must be only numbers and length of 6 (from 1 to 99). No
 other character is allowed.
 
  Thanks for any help!

RE: Obtain week number between years

2010-04-29 Thread Steven Staples
You could also try it this way, and then in the application, you can find
out what the dates are, that they are between.


SELECT YEARWEEK(`datefield`) AS 'week', 
COUNT(`visits`) AS 'visits'
FROM `mytable` WHERE YEAR(`datefield`) = '2009'
GROUP BY YEARWEEK(`datefield`);

(this was just taken off the top of my head, but it should give something
that you're looking for... hopefully ;) )

RE: Join syntax problem

2010-04-27 Thread Steven Staples
As Tom Worster said, print($query); would show you what the query was trying
to run.


Without testing it, you also have some other whitespace issues between the
hw.wildlife and FROM, and also, i m unsure of the asterix infront of the
*images.

On another note, when I do my JOINs, I tend to write ON
(table1.field=jointable.field) rather than just ON (field).

And on a final thought, the where cause, seems to be the join clause as
well, so isn't that redundant? (or is would that only be in the way that i
said i do my joins?)

Table Length Question...

2010-03-30 Thread Steven Staples
Hi there,

I currently store some information about a users daily habits in a table.
The table has 4 fields per day, and another 4 fields as the keys.  This
table, depending on the month, can be from (4 keys + (28 days * 4 fields per
day)) fields, to (4 keys + (31 days * 4 fields per day)) fields long... 

The table layout is like such:
+-+---++-+--+--+--+--+--+--+
--
|name |id |id2 |type |d01f1 |d01f2 |d01f3 |d01f4 |d02f1 |d02f2 |.and so
on
+-+---++-+--+--+--+--+--+--+
--

Performance wise, would it be better to have it laid out in a manner such as
+-+---++-++---+---+---+---+
|name |id |id2 |type |day |f1 |f2 |f3 |f4 |
+-+---++-++---+---+---+---+
So that each row, contains a single days details, rather than have a single
row, contain the entire months details?

Also, when i would do a select, if i wanted say d02f1, would it load the
entire row first, and then just give me that field?
-Select `d02f01` from `mytable` where [where clause]
Or would it jsut load that field... 

Does these questions make sense?  (they do in my head)

MySQL Slave is almost 1 day behind

2010-03-26 Thread Steven Staples
Good day :)

We've had our master/slave server running for a while now, and just

Not entirely sure what happened, but it is getting further and furhter

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Now, we are logging the freeradius packets into mysql, and like I said, it
has been running fine, up until yesterday.   Any idea how the slave would
get this far behind, and not be generating any errors?

It is my understanding, that the slave only does update/insert/delete
queries, so even if there was a lot of select queries on the master, the
slave wouldn't see them.  We are not running any queries on the slave (it
was set up for backup purposes, so we could stop the slave and backup
completely), and we haven't done a backup on the slave in a couple of days
(yeah, i know... bad bad) so there is really no reason for this.

Can anyone help/assist/point me in the right direction to figure out how to
catch the slave back up to the master?  The master is not being overloaded,
it is keeping up no problem, and the backup server is 8x the server than the
application server, so it shoulnd't even be an i/o or cpu issue.

Please help! :)


Thanks in advance

Technically, shouldn't the slave be able to shutdown and then catch back
up?
What if the slave lost power and shut down... and when the power came back,
shouldn't the slave restart, get the bin logs, and catchup?

From now on, I wont truncate any tables, i will just delete from the table
where the ID   and then reset the ID to 0 or 1... and then delete

sql file system + optimization

2009-12-15 Thread Steven Staples
Ok... in the file system, my MySQL files are located in /var/lib/mysql/
I have a database (lets say 'test') so it gets its own directory
/var/lib/mysql/test/
Now, all the tables go in this folder. (I know, we *should* all know
this...)

if the database is on another disk, could it increase performance if this
was a large database? If so, could I just 
symlink the test/ directory to another raid array to increase performance?
Or would the increase be negligible?

I didn't run this, or try to replicate it, it was just my observation on the
query.

Hi;
I have the following:

mysql select SKU, Quantity, Name, Price, p.sizes,
p.colorsShadesNumbersShort from tem126080739853 t join products p on
t.ProdID-p.ID;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql select * from tem126080739853;
+++--+-+--+
| ID | ProdID | Quantity | sizes   | colorsShadesNumbersShort |
+++--+-+--+
|  1 |  2 |2 | Extra-small | navy-blue:CC7722 |
+++--+-+--+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql select SKU, Quantity, Name, Price, p.sizes,
p.colorsShadesNumbersShort from tem126080739853 t join products p on
t.ProdID-p.ID;
Empty set (0.03 sec)

mysql select SKU, Quantity, Name, Price, t.sizes,
t.colorsShadesNumbersShort from tem126080739853 t join products p on
t.ProdID-p.ID;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql select ID, SKU, Name, Price from products;
++--+---++
| ID | SKU  | Name  | Price  |
++--+---++
|  2 | prodSKU1 | name1 | 555.22 |
++--+---++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So I'm at a loss as to why the above select join statement fails. Please
advise.
TIA,
Victor

RE: Stored Proc's

2009-12-11 Thread Steven Staples
They are actual IP's, not domain names.

So it would be like `us...@`192.168.0.100` and `us...@`192.168.0.101`... so
how would I go about putting that in the definer?   Currently, i have this:

DELIMITER $$
USE `tablename`$$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `tablename`$$
CREATE definer=`us...@`192.168.0.100` PROCEDURE `tablename`(... etc etc
etc...


Sorry if this is sounding dumb, I've only just started using stored procs
(and i love them), and i have only seen examples with 1 user, or wildcarding
the domain.  I would also like to know how to do it for any/all users (but
that is not what I am needing now)

of course.  you can have entries

u...@domain1.me.com
u...@xxx.foo.com

the only caveat is to make sure the reverse lookup of your client
hosts works as expected as those are the names that mysql will apply
at authentication time.

 Silly question here...

 But can I have multiple definers for a stored proc, rather than allowing
 `us...@`%`?   basically, I want to only allow 1 user name, but from only 2
 or 3 IP's.

 My Googleing didn't turn up anything of use, so now, I am here asking :)

 Thanks in advance!

 Steve Staples.

Select from remote server from stored procedure

2009-12-09 Thread Steven Staples
Ok, I feel silly for asking this, but I am going to do it anyway.

I have a huge stored procedure that does quite a bit of logic, and
gathering/splitting of data.   I currently have our customer database on one
server, and our logging on another.  What i need to do, is to pull the
customer id from the other server, so that the logs are tied back to the
customer.

Is this possible to do?  To make a connection, inside the stored procedure
to a completely different machine and access the mysql there?

Does my question make sense?   Currently what I am doing, is every new
customer that gets created, my php app adds the username/customerid to that
server, then makes a connection to the logging server and creates the same
record, same with deleting and updating... but there just has to be a
simpler way :)

Thanks in advance.

RE: Select from remote server from stored procedure

2009-12-09 Thread Steven Staples
So what I am reading, I guess it would be safer to just do it how I am
currently doing it, as it really isn't that slow... it's just duplicating
the data elsewhere (I suppose maybe making this a slave table to the other
server... nah... lots of work there :P)

Thanks, and I did search it before, but I guess my searching keywords were
insufficient ;)

Hello Johan,

 Posted this before, but beware: federated tables do NOT use indices.  
 Every
 select is a full table scan, and if you're talking about a logging  
 table
 that could become very expensive very fast.

This is not entirely true.  If you define an index on the local  
federated table, and it makes sense to use it, then a remote WHERE  
clause will be passed through and hence use the remote index.  Not all  
types of index accesses can be passed through such as this, however  
for a single row lookup on a primary key, it should be fine.

It is still not as fast as local access, but it's not as bad as always  
doing a full table scan remotely.

 The only way I know to access tables from different servers
 from a single connection is federated tables:
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/federated-use.html

 Once you do that, you are accessing it like a local table.

 I hope this helps.
