And selects against tables in the example database did not work. What am I missing? Thanks, Adam C. Scott

[Maria-discuss] MySQL Workbench 6 & MariaDB
by Colin Charles 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

Hi! I now notice that MySQL Workbench connecting to MariaDB 10.0.5 will tell you that the server version 10 is not supported. Is this a bug worthy of reporting to Oracle upstream at bugs.mysql.com or do we just list it as an incompatibility here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-vs-mysql-compatibility/ Would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist MariaDB | t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles

[Maria-discuss] Is OQGRAPH back in 10.0.5?
by Colin Charles 11 Nov '13

11 Nov '13

Hi! I noticed that ha_oqgraph.so exists in /usr/lib64/mysql/plugin on the 10.0.5 packages. So I just installed it, and it shows up in SHOW ENGINES output. I tried creating a table, and it worked (confirmed via output in SHOW TABLE STATUS) So, is this something we are planning on shipping in 10.0? This is version 2 of the plugin and it is now marked to be Beta quality (from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS) If we are shipping this in 10.0, we really need to improve the documentation around it in the Knowledgebase cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist MariaDB | t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles

[Maria-discuss] New Question: mariadb RAM usage
by AskMonty KB 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB Performance & Advanced Configurations" by ferreirah: -------------------------------- When you bundle your app with mysql or mariadb, you don't want mysql or mariadb to devour all your RAM, especially if the database is installed on a desktop operating system. I haven't recently tried out mysql or mariadb, but I was wondering about the minimum memory required on windows. I sent a question to mysql and they told me it only requires 1 MB RAM minimum. At that stage they still supported windows 2000 and windows xp, which isn't supported any more. I remember installing mysql on windows xp and you could configure it through a wizard. You could either set it to dedicated server, shared server or developer install. I suppose developer install will use the least amount of RAM. How much RAM would mariadb use with a developer install if you had to install it on windows vista/7/8/8.1? Does it matter which engine you are using? XtraDB? Thanks H.F. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb-ram-usage/

[Maria-discuss] New Question: licencing of mariadb and mysql dot net connector
by AskMonty KB 08 Nov '13

08 Nov '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Client libraries" by ferreirah: -------------------------------- Hi I agree with one of the previous posts that licencing is such a tricky aspect of IT. I read in previous posts that when using mariadb with the odbc framework that you can distribute both the odbc connector and mariadb with your closed source commercial application. It said in the post if you use a framework to access the database then both the connector and mariadb are free for commercial use. What about dot net? Dot net is a framework through which you can access mariadb? Does this mean that both the dot net connector as well as mariadb are free for closed source commercial use? I suppose the downside is that you can't use any mariadb specific features if you are using the mysql connector? Thanks H.F. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://mariadb.com/kb/en/licencing-of-mariadb-and-mysql-dot-net-connector/
