[Maria-discuss] Enabling feedback pluging for MariaDB 10.1.4
by Michael Widenius 12 Mar '15

12 Mar '15

Hi! We had originally planned to enable the feedback plugin by default for the Alpha and Beta stages of MariaDB 10.1, but we forgot to do this for the alpha so I suggested Sergei today that we should enable it for the beta period of MariaDB 10.0 We agreed that before doing this we would have a discussion on the maria developer list to explain why we would like to do this. The reason we would like to enable it is to get information about which features people are testing and using in MariaDB 10.1, so that we can concentrate our testing and bug fixing during the beta phase for those areas that people are actually using. This would help our development work a lot and would also help us to plan for MariaDB 10.2 development. Anyone will be able to disable the feedback plugin by adding: --feedback=OFF to their my.cnf file. In MariaDB 10.1 gamma/release we would make it default OFF again. We will of course inform everyone about this change, including how to disable the feedback, in the MariaDB changelog and release notes. We do of course hope that as many as possible will have it on, even after gamma, to help us with our development work! Information about the MariaDB feedback plugin and the statistics it provides can be found at: http://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin https://mariadb.com/kb/feedback-plugin As most MariaDB users should know, the feedback is totally anonymous and no private or sensitive information is being sent. Any comments, suggestions or recommendations? Regards, Michael Widenius Creator of MySQL and MariaDB

[Maria-discuss] mariadb 10.0.17 keeps crashing
by Gabriel Sosa 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hello, I've been a proudly user of mariadb 5.5.x for a long time now but given the nice feature setI decided to give mariadb 10.x a try. I took one of our current slaves running mariadb 5.5.x (on centos 6.5) and followed the upgrade steps using yum and ran *mysql_upgrade*. The upgrade ran without any trouble...then I moved a huge table (about 1B records right now) from InnoDB to TokuDB. Now, every couple of hours I find that the replication is far behind the master and the reason is because this server keeps checking tables marked as crashed.... I can't seems to find any indicator of OOM killer in the system logs NOR anything related to that in the mysql log, the only clue I have is: --------------- *150303 10:08:57 mysqld_safe Number of processes running now: 0* *150303 10:08:57 mysqld_safe mysqld restarted* 150303 10:08:58 [Warning] 'THREAD_CONCURRENCY' is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. 150303 10:08:59 [Warning] option 'innodb-status-file': boolean value 'ib_status' wasn't recognized.

[Maria-discuss] Questions on image data should be stored in database or not?
by Peter Boston 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

I don't know the following questions are valid here or not. I just hope I get some help from experienced experts here. I am planning to use MariaDB on 64bit Linux for a new medical application project. I have to store lots of images. The size of one image is about 263KB. There are about 50 images per patient. It's about 14MB. I have two options here for these image data: Option A: store them in file system and have their location linked in database table; Option B: store them in database in a separated table as BOLB with a unique id; I know there are lots of implementations go with Option A. My concern about Option A is the security and backup. I have to do them separately. Do you have any good idea how to do them? For Option B, I am worry about the size of that table and the database. I read somewhere saying the BOLB and TEXT columns in a table are not stored "inline" and will not be counted to the table size. Where I can find the detailed information about this? Oracle has a special way to handle this situation and is pushing save images into database. Is there a similar mechanism in MariaDB? How about compress a series of images for a patient in Option B? Is it worthy to scarify perform for gaining some spaces? Eventually the data size will be very big, what are the options for me to cleanup and archive old data, including the image data? Thanks, Peter

[Maria-discuss] stored programs
by Federico Razzoli 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Reading 10.0.3 release notes: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/mariadb-1013-release-notes/ I see that IF EXISTS, IF NOT EXISTS and OR REPLACE are now almost consistent. "Almost" means that... OR REPLACE still doesn't apply to stored procedures, functions, triggers, events. Recently, during a public session, a PostgreSQL user asked me if MariaDB supports stored procedures - in his opinion, MySQL doesn't, no matter what the manual says. Unfortunately my answer was that MariaDB support for stored procedure is the same as MySQL ("so the answer is no", he said). I feel that these features are generally ignored. I don't understand the reason. While they have many problems in MariaDB/MySQL, some people still tries to use them. Even more people would use them if some developement was made on them. They are also used by important projects like Common Schema and Flexviews, but I'm sure that the authors have to struggle against limitations every time they change a line of code. I struggled hards for a much easier project - an SQL unit test tool. I have several problems in mind: performance, lack of variable number of arguments, cannot prepare a statement from a local variable, no debugger, no way to see the call stack... I'm writing this because I love MariaDB. This is not a hateful criticism: this is a request for something I waited for many years. I hope that you will keep procedures in mind, while planning the next major release. Regards Federico

[Maria-discuss] MaxScale Multiple Masters
by Riz Plate 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi I have a very basic scenario, we have one database which is running out of space. database have some tables with incremental primary key ids. 1- for new ids , we want to send read/write to new server and preferably , do id based statement routing i.e. if id%2=0 push to new-server1 , else read/write to new-server2. 2- some tables are created dynamically i.e. dynamic_table_123. we want to send 123%2=0 to new-server1 else read/write to new-server2. 3- all statements in above #1, #2 should go to same MaxScale abstraction i.e. application should not have logic for routing. Can we do this with MaxsScale? what are the configuraion readwriterouter or the cluster? Thanks for your insight and recommendations. Thanks

[Maria-discuss] New Question: ResultSetMetaData getColumnClassName accuracy for JDBC

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Client Libraries" by tommy_pham_g. Please answer it at http://mariadb.com/kb/en/resultsetmetadata-getcolumnclassname-accuracy-for-… as the person asking the question may not be subscribed to the mailing list. -------------------------------- Hi folks, I'm having problems getting the getColumnClassName to return the correct information. I have a sample table: CREATE TABLE `datatypes` ( `mariadb_binary` binary(8) NULL, `mariadb_blob` blob NULL, `mariadb_boolean` tinyint(1) NULL, `mariadb_varbinary` varbinary(16) NULL, `mariadb_varchar` varchar(5) CHARACTER SET utf8 NULL, UNIQUE KEY `mariadb_serial` (`mariadb_serial`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci; The ResultSetMetaData is not returning accurate GetColumnClassName information for some of the above columns: [INFO ] 2015-03-02 09:26:52.905 [main] c.d.d.AppDbTest.main - getColumnName mariadb_binary | getColumnLabel mariadb_binary. getColumnClassName [B. getColumnDisplaySize 8. getColumnType -2. getColumnTypeName BINARY.

[Maria-discuss] Serious problem with latest (10.0.16) Windows installer - destroys services.
by Peter Laursen 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

I have MariaDB 5.5, 10.0 and 10.1 installed (as Windows services named 'maria55'. 'maria10' and 'maria10_1' ) and always update them to latest soon after an update is available. Yesterday morning I installed 10.0.16 on top of 10.0.15 using the .msi installer. When I tried to connect to it a few hours later it was not possible. I thought the service might not be running. It wasn't. Actually it did not exist anymore at all! "net start maria10" returned "service does not exist" (and indeed it did not appear in Windows "services management" interface). I copied the /datadir, uninstalle , did a fresh install of 10.0.16d (choosing the option not to upgrade any existing server) and copied the old /datadir back. Now Maria 10.0(.16) works again. But now I see that the 'maria55' service is also gone from the system. Files are intact. I can repeat the exercise I did with 10.0 of course or install service again from commandline. Not a big problem, but very annoying and waste of time. MariaDB 10.1 installaton is not affected. 5 diiferent Oracle/MySQL servers (from 5.0 to 5.7) also are not. I need all those instances for application testing. Questions: * Has somebody else experienced this? * Has somebody replaced @wlad as maintainer of Windows installers? @wlad was the only person who ever was able to write reasonable MySQL/MariaDB installers. So I would regret that. It is perfectly legal on Windows to have multiple MariaDB servers simultaneously running as Windows services. They won't conflict as long as service name, port, basedir and datadir are all different. What happens with one should not affect another. I the installer does not respect this, it is a bug. -- Peter -- Webyog
