too many open files, error 24, but max-files is large

2003-03-05 Thread Johannes Ullrich
on mysql 4.0.10-gamma (rpm install, Redhat advanced server), I am running into 'too many open files' issues ( error 24 ). I am using a rather large merge table (30 distinct tables merged), which is likely the culprit. The error shows up as I have about a dozen of connections. I did increa

2003-03-05 Thread Johannes Ullrich
Two solutions to your problem: table full errors: check the 'AVG_ROW_LENGTH' and 'MAX_ROWS' option for create and alter table. You can change these on the fly using 'alter table', but it will take quite a time for a table your size (few hours-1 day depending on machine). The exact values for t

speedup 'alter table' for large tables

2003-02-07 Thread Johannes Ullrich
I just had to alter a large (25Gig, 100Million rows) table to increase the max_rows parameter. The 'alter table' query is now running 60+ hours, the last 30+hours it spend in 'repair with keycache' mode. Is there any way to speed up this operation? I realize, it is probably too late now. But next

2003-02-06 Thread Johannes Ullrich
the easiest way to do this is to use mysql's own 'password' function. to add a new user use: insert into table (username,passwd) values ('jianping',password('jian1830')) to validate the password: select count(*) from table where username='jianping' and passwd=password('whatwasentered'); or
