[Maria-discuss] Trouble installing MariaDB 5.5 on Ubuntu 12.04 (& 12.10)
by Aaron Anderson 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Gang, I've installed MariaDB on several Debian/Ubuntu systems in the past few months, without any issues. ~2 days ago on an Unbuntu 12.10 system did an apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade. I believe that MariaDB was updated in that process. After the updates, mysql was "gone" My apps couldn't find it, it wasn't running, etc. I was in a hurry so I had to fall back to the standard mysql package so not a lot of into there. I built a new Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server, added the Maria repo, did an apt-get update/ugprade/dist-upgrade. Rebooted. Here's some output... I'm stuck in this loop. root@nn01:~# apt-get install mariadb-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.

[Maria-discuss] KB Question: Issues with ignore-db-dir

When I put "ignore-db-dir=lost+found" in the mysqld section of the my.cnf file or when I attempt to start mysqld with "/etc/init.d/mysql start --ignore-db-dir=lost+found", both times mysql fails to start with the following message: 130111 17:08:57 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'ignore-db-dir=lost+found' 130111 17:08:57 [ERROR] Aborting Is there a patch that I was supposed to apply but haven't ? Or maybe I am misunderstanding how or where to specify the ignore-db-dir option. For reference, the full version as reported by mysqld is: $ mysqld --version mysqld Ver 5.5.27-MariaDB for Linux on x86_64 (MariaDB Server) Thanks, -Said - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Daniel Bartholomew Google+ - http://gplus.to/dbart Twitter - http://twitter.com/daniel_bart MariaDB: An Enhanced Drop-in Replacement for MySQL Website - http://mariadb.org Twitter - http://twitter.com/mariadb Google+ - http://google.com/+mariadb Facebook - http://fb.com/MariaDB.dbms Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com

[Maria-discuss] Reporting upstream bugs
by Federico Razzoli 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hi all. I reported a bug in JIRA - I hit it in MariaDB but it was tagged as "upstream". This brings us to the question: is it ok to report upstream bugs in MariaDB's JIRA? There are 2 reasons why I didn't report it to Oracle. Let me explain. 1) MySQL Ab and Sun never had a lot of data about me or the companies where I worked. They only had my email and my full name, plus some optional info, if I remember correctly. But my old account doesn't work anymore, and the new Oracle's sign up page REQUIRES a lot of data - including a physical address and a work phone. I don't want to provide them too much info about me and my company. 2) I tried to sign up with fake data, but after 2 days I didn't receive a confirm email and my account still doesn't work. They are very slow, or something doesn't work fine in their website, or they detected that some data I wrote is fake (but I got no error message). I think that a company which develops open source software should be glad that people reports bugs, and should make the process easier. If the process is hard, I would prefer to report bugs to MariaDB. But, what does MariaDB think about it? Is it ok to report the bugs to you? Federico Razzoli

[Maria-discuss] ASFORMENTIONED keyword suggestion
by Eric Wood 26 Dec '12

26 Dec '12

Routinely updating records with 20 or more columns can be exhausting work. Many have asked for this for many years and I was hoping a MariaDB developer would take the reins in implementing a shorter ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE syntax: INSERT INTO `tableName` (`a`,`b`,`c`) VALUES (1,2,3) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE `a`=VALUES(`a`), `b`=VALUES(`b`), `c`=VALUES(`c`); INSERT INTO `tableName` SET a=1, b=2, c=3 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE a=1, b=2, c=3; INSERT INTO `tableName` (`a`,`b`,`c`) VALUES (1,2,3) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ASFORMENTIONED; INSERT INTO `tableName` SET a=1, b=2, c=3 ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE ASFORMENTIONED; Something like this would certainly make SQL enjoyable again. -Eric Wood

[Maria-discuss] partitioning by timestamp field
by Said Ramirez 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hello, I am trying to setup a range partitioned table using 5.5.27-MariaDB-log MariaDB Server using a timestamp field. According to the documents, I should be able to use unix_timestamp(ts) as my partitioning function ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/partitioning-range.html ) . I find, however, that it is not possible to use unix_timestamp using mariadb because with mariadb the unix_timestamp function returns an floating point value: mariadb> select unix_timestamp('2012-12-01'); +------------------------------+ | unix_timestamp('2012-12-01') | +------------------------------+ | 1354320000.000000 | +------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) However the MySQL version of unix_timestamp returns an int value: myqsl> select unix_timestamp('2012-12-01'); +------------------------------+ | unix_timestamp('2012-12-01') | +------------------------------+ | 1354320000 | +------------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.06 sec) How have people worked around this issue? What other ways can I partition by a timestamp in MariaDB ? Thanks, -Said

Hi, Ruslan! First, please use email for questions of this kind. We have a mailing list maria-discuss(a)lists.launchpad.net - it's much easier to follow the discussion there, and many more people will see your question, so you'll have a better chance of getting a fast and helpful reply.

May be, you are trying to upgrade or downgrade? Regards, Sergei
