[Maria-discuss] New Question: Migrating from MySQL 5.1.31-community >> MariaDB 5.5
by AskMonty KB 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Upgrading MariaDB" by flumpydog: -------------------------------- One of our internal development db servers is currently running MySQL 5.1.31-community on CentOS 5.9 as it suits are needs internally for testing only purposes of our sites. I would like to use this box to install and test MariaDB 5.5 on. What would be the best method to make this transition as smooth as possible? The MySQL rpm's are not the ones supplied by CentOS, but are from the MySQL site. Should I do a dump of all the databases on MySQL, remove all the MySQL rpm packages, install MariaDB 5.5 via yum and then do an import of the databases? Or will I have to install a prior release of MariaDB and upgrade from there? Also, all the tables are currently using the MyISAM storage engine. Just so I will have the best experience here and while I am experimenting, what storage engine would you recommend we try, Ari or? Some of these tables contain in excess of a million rows. Is there anything I should be aware of before converting tables?

[Maria-discuss] The MariaDB Foundation and MariaDB trademark?
by Jeremy Cole 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

While poking around on the various sites (discussed at length in previous threads) I was left wondering about the MariaDB trademark. I was under the impression this was going to be owned by and managed by the MariaDB Foundation. It seems like it was registered by Monty Program Ab though, and never transferred to or owned by MariaDB Foundation. So, after the acquisition it is now owned by SkySQL. The SkySQL site's "Trademarks" page<http://www.skysql.com/about/legal/trademarks>definitively confirms this with the text «The "MariaDB" trademark is wholly owned by SkySQL Corporation Ab and is a registered trademark in ...». So, I am left wondering what happened? Was my original understanding incorrect, or was this never properly followed through? While I would hope SkySQL is a good community member and would not do anything bad with the trademark, this does defeat a lot of the original idea with the foundation, by my understanding, and leaves a single commercial entity in more or less full control of MariaDB's future. Can anyone provide some insight? Regards, Jeremy

[Maria-discuss] New Question: yum Install on x86_64 CentOS 5.x
by AskMonty KB 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB community" by flumpydog: -------------------------------- I am attempting to install MariaDB on a x86_64 server running CentOS 5.9. I followed the instructions for "Installing MariaDB with yum", created the MariaDB.repo file, however when I run yum, it wants to install i386 rpm files and not x86_64. I even attempted to modify the MariaDB.repo file and use baseurl = http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos5-amd64 , however this did not work. What can I do to correct this as I would like to do this all with yum. Thanks, Chuck -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/yum-install-on-x86_64-centos-5x/

[Maria-discuss] Fwd: [Dbmail] MariaDB and dbmail

please can someone from the MariaDB developers MariaDB 5.5.32 is running here on test-machines this is todays feedback of the dbmail core-developer and beause more and more distributions including Fedora/OpenSuSE and AFAIK even RHEL7 switch to MariaDB this is a *serious* problem which is not what a "drop-in replacement" should do and a show-stopper rollout Fedora 19 at all in the near future > Anyway, MariaDB doesn't even pass the basic unit-tests > > Looks like this maybe libzdb related.

I found that after migration following SQL returns wrong sorted data: SELECT l.part_key, l.part_depth, l.part_order, l.is_header, DATE_FORMAT(ph.internal_date,GET_FORMAT(DATETIME,'ISO')), data FROM dbmail_mimeparts p JOIN dbmail_partlists l ON p.id = l.part_id JOIN dbmail_physmessage ph ON ph.id = l.physmessage_id WHERE l.physmessage_id = <ID> ORDER BY l.part_key,l.part_order ASC; however when I run it from command line it works well. Probably it does not fail always because of not all emails damaged. Not sure if it caused by migration to mariadb, but problem appeared near same time.
