[Maria-developers] [Otto Kekäläinen] Fwd: initial feedback on mariadb
by Kristian Nielsen 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi, Otto asked for help with the copyright file for the Debian MariaDB packages. As I understand it, the .deb packages have a file /usr/share/doc/mariadb-server-5.5/copyright and there are some scripts in Debian that check the file against what is in the headers of source files and possibly other checks (error output attached below). Otto did something, but there is apparently more needed. Can some of you who understand the finer points of licensing among Oracle, Monty Program, MariaDB Services, MariaDB foundation, Percona, ... please look into this and help Otto fix up things? Debian are usually very careful with licensing, so this could easily become a blocker otherwise (I assume). - Kristian.

[Maria-developers] MDEV-4911 - KILL command with query id
by Roberto Spadim 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi guys, i sent some patchs, could anyone check it? it have some things to do: query syntax isn't in the MDEV-4911, i did a QUERY_ID instead of a more comlpex syntax (since i never used bison before :P ) the query_id works, but i need a new error message ( "Unknown query id: %") well i didn't make the gcc happy, there's some warnings, and i don't know if it's all right i send this patch after MDEV-4916 patch, in other words the %expect value of sql_yacc.yy is wrong if you don't apply the MDEV-4916 patch the 4916 is a IF_IDLE keyword to KILL command too it only kill if there's no query running well :) thanks guys! <https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4916> -- Roberto Spadim

Hi, Roberto! On Aug 17, Roberto Spadim wrote: > Hi sergei, > What about give two informations, thread id and query id > If thread id and query id is equal, kill it There's no need to. Query id identifies the query and the connection unambiguously. Specifying also a thread id is redundant. Regards, Sergei

[Maria-developers] linking an external library
by rg 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Folks, I want to link an external library for a language extension. After several hours of trying to tell cmake (^%$@*&) to pick it up for linking the library would still not be built with. CMakeLists.txt in trunk/sql is in the meantime full of pointers to the library without avail. I did the normal FIND_LIBRARY() followed by TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES({$LIBNAME}) on various targets plus as nothing worked: SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH) on it, explicity LINK_DIRECTORIES(), SET(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH), SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH) ... How do I link mariadb with an external library?? Thanks Rob

[Maria-developers] ALTER ONLINE TABLE syntax
by Sergei Golubchik 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Hi, You've added this ALTER ONLINE TABLE syntax, where ONLINE de facto means "without copying the data". Now, after 5.6 merge we also have ALGORITHM=COPY|INPLACE and LOCK=NONE|SHARED|EXCLUSIVE. I've mapped ONLINE to ALGORITHM=INPLACE, because that's what it means. But it's confusing, one can have an "inplace" operation under an exclusive lock, if the engine wants it that way. And it won't be "online" by any stretch of imagination. One can also technically have a "copy" operation with a very permissive write-allow-write lock, and it'll be as online as one can get it. I mean, logically ONLINE should mean LOCK=NONE, not ALGORITHM=INPLACE. But that would change the existing behavior and the test results too. For example, *any* ALTER on the temporary table would always be "online", because, well, it wouldn't take any lock on that table. Alternatively, we can keep ONLINE as ALGORITHM=INPLACE, and deprecate it, issue a warning, suggesting to use the new 5.6 syntax. Opinions? Regards, Sergei

[Maria-developers] More Secure Kill Command
by Roberto Spadim 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi guys i was mailing at maria-discuss, but i think it a new feature, and want some view point from developers... check this problem: connection 1) big select... connection 2) show processlist connection 1) other query connection 2) kill connection 1 id (i take +- 1 second between show processlist and this command) connection 1) killed the problem? the kill connection 1 (KILL thread_id) killed the wrong query could we implement something like: KILL [CONNECTION | QUERY] thread_id [QUERY "some relative unique query id in this database"] the relative unique query id, could be: substr(sha1 or md5 of (thread_id + query start time),0,6) (6 hex numbers is good?) it's like a git small hash commit id, maybe we could make it more unique... but since i will not use it very often, i think a less intensive work is nice here... a global query id could add more one lock for every query... example: KILL 1 QUERY "abcdef" the "abcdef" = substr(MD5( thread id + query start time ),0,6) we could add client ip or others unique information about this query, but something that don't increase (ok just a little) the load of a show processlist / select * from information_schema thanks -- Roberto Spadim
