[Maria-discuss] KB Question: Drop-in replacement on Debian
by Daniel Bartholomew 17 Nov '12

17 Nov '12

The following question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/drop-in-replacement-on-debian/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Is there a way to make MariaDB install over MySQL on a Debian machine? I have my puppet master, which is running Debian/sid. It has puppet-dashboard, which utilizes MySQL 5.5.28. Much to my dismay, I am unable to install MariaDB over it: - - - - - The following packages have unmet dependencies: libmariadbclient18 : Depends: libmysqlclient18 (= 5.5.28-mariadb1~wheezy) but 5.5.28+dfsg-1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. - - - - - But if I try to uninstall the parts of MySQL, then apt wishes to uninstall everything, up to and including puppet-dashboard: - - - - - The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: dbconfig-common libaio1 libhttpclient-ruby1.8 mysql-server-core-5.5 rake ruby-dbi ruby-deprecated unzip zip Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following packages will be REMOVED: libdbd-mysql-perl libdbd-mysql-ruby libmysqlclient18 mysql-client mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 puppet-dashboard ruby-dbd-mysql ruby-mysql - - - - - This is unacceptable for a live box... Is there something else I can do to make the install less painful? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks. -- 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] KB Question: Aria Max Table Size
by Daniel Bartholomew 14 Nov '12

14 Nov '12

The following question has been posted in the Knowledgebase: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-max-table-size/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Aria looks to be a safer robust replacement to MyISAM for data warehousing. However, I was unable to find any mention of maximum table sizes for tables in various row formats. Upon creating tables and getting information in SequelPro, I saw the following: Aria Dynamic: 4GB Aria Fixed: 20GB Aria Page: 64GB This would seem counterproductive as MyISAM supports 256TB. Is there an official statistic on the maximum amount of data that Aria can handle? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thanks. -- 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] TRUNCATE TABLE becomes hang sometimes
by Haseena L. 10 Nov '12

10 Nov '12

Hi, Now Iam trying to migrate from MySQL to MariaDB. Why does the TRUNCATE TABLE statement hang sometimes? What are the reasons for this type of issue? This problem doesn't happen with MySQL, only with MariaDB. The hanging statement is simply: TRUNCATE TABLE sampledb.datatable; What can cause this to happen, and how could I fix it? Another one observation is if the table have some data, may be one or two rows, then the truncate query works successfully. Else the table have a lot of data, query becomes hang. If the same table have more than one connetion, then the truncate table query hangs. How I fix it??? Now Iam blocking. Engine I selected is MyISAM.

[Maria-discuss] can I expect deb files of mariadb-galera soon?
by Jan Kirchhoff 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hi, We are currently using mariadb a lot over here with traditional replication and I'd like to test the galera alpha in the next weeks. I have two brand-new machines with plenty of SAS disks, some SSDs and 128GB of RAM over here with Ubuntu 12.10 alpha ready to do some testing with our real-world workloads. Before I start compiling myself or mess with binary tar.gz-releases: can I expect deb-releases within the next 2 weeks? That would make life much easier for me and I'd delay starting all the testing by a few days if I knew I would then have debs to start right away. regards Jan

[Maria-discuss] mariadb : possible copyright issues?
by Vineet Deodhar 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

I am using MySQL at present. I came across MariaDB, a drop-in replacement for MySQL. 2 simple questions-- 1) File names in MariaDB, in many cases, are same as those in MySQL. Wouldn't that attract objection from Oracle as 'breach of the copyright' ? 2) May I use MariaDB for commercial distribution (with or without using its source) ? Whether the license is similar to MIT license? Thanks, Vineet
