How to parition a table with a VARCHAR Primary Key?

Hi, I'm struggling with getting my tables partitioned. All the tables I want to partition have a single primary key id which is a varchar. They also have a created datetime field to let me know when each record was added to the db. Ex: CREATE TABLE `document` ( `document_id` varchar(50) NOT

JVM unable to access MySQL intermittently?

Hi, I'm running into a strange problem with my JVM and MySQL. I'm using Macromedia JRun 4 as my JVM and everytime I restart the Jrun service, my application runs smoothly. However, after an indeterminate amount of time (seemingly random - sometimes a couple of hours, sometimes 12-15 hours), my

Re: Key Buffer Size

Hi Terence, key_buffer_size is the amount of memory that is used to cache your index tables. If you are using 100% of it most of the time, you may benefit from an increase in it if you can afford to. You can also look at show status and look at key_reads and key_writes to give you an idea of

What causes a crashed table?

Hi, I ran into a slight problem this morning where MySQL suddenly wouldn't recognize a table anymore. After doing a myisamchk on it, it listed the table as having crashed. myisamchk -r on the table fixed the problem, but I am concerned that this error happened in the first place. I've tried to

Replication / Synchronizing DB across different machines

Hi, I'm at the stage where I need to create redundancy in my network / DB server. Am currently using MySQL 4.0.x, and have been trying to figure out how I can safely replicate/synchronize between different machines. I know there is a way to do a Master / Slave replication, but I'm looking more

Re: Replication / Synchronizing DB across different machines

to syncronize back to the master is not a nightmare, because both can be masters and slaves to each other and then this will all be handled automatically as soon as the servers are able to reconnect to each other. John From: news on behalf of Eric B. Sent: Sun 2/29

Re: WHERE clauses across rows...

Not sure how you determine what the order of your rows are, but assuming you have a column called rownumber, or soemthing to that extent, which is a sequential numbering of the rows in your table, you can probably do it with a join on itself. You might have to play with the join syntax a little

Re: INSERT returning ID

I'm not 100% sure, but this type of programming would seem to be opening the doors for bugs down the road that get difficult to trace and to track. If you are using a multi-threaded app, then you have to make sure that you prevent any mods to the DB after your insert and before your select. If

Pre-loading index file

I know that in 4.11+ you can preload your MYI index file into the key cache using LOAD INDEX (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Index_preloading.html), but is there a way to configure MySQL to do this whenever the MySQL service starts? I'm willing to write .sql batch statements, but is there someway to

Any way to pre-load an Index file into the key cache?

Hi, I know this question has been posed in the past, but I haven't been able to find an answer for it yet. Is there any way in MySQL to pre-load a table's index file into the key cache at startup? I know the key cache will build itself while exectuing queries, but this will obviously slow down
