[Maria-discuss] New KB Question: Stop/Start MariaDB
by Daniel Bartholomew 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

A new question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/stopstart-mariadb --------------------------------------------------------------------- When upgrading MariaDb, using DEB package manager,it always fails to stop the server and the upgrade fails. Also the server cannot be stopped from MySQl Workbench. However, I can stop ok from the terminal with the command 'sudo service mysql stop' and then run the update which restarts the server automatically. Not fatal but puzzling. (Using Ubuntu Natty 64 bit). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-discuss] New KB Question: Index/optimizations in Dynamic Columns
by Daniel Bartholomew 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

A new question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/indexoptimizations-in-dynamic-columns --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetz to all... I have been playing with the dynamic columns in MariaDB 5.3... Running your test queries I decided to do an explain on one of them: MariaDB [test]> explain SELECT name FROM t1 WHERE COLUMN_GET(dynstr, 1 as char(10)) = "red"; +----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra | +----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+ | 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | ALL | NULL | NULL | NULL | NULL | 4 | Using where | +----+-------------+-------+------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) I was just curious, do dynamic columns suffer from the same perf penalties at scale that non-indexed or function-based where criteria do? If they currently do, are there currently any plans to index/optimize dynamic columns for super fast at-scale data access? Best, Joshua --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB compilation on old Linux
by Daniel Bartholomew 12 Sep '11

12 Sep '11

A new question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-compilation-on-old-linux ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I still have to use MandrakeLinux 10.0 having MySQL v.4.0.22 in its repository. Is it possible to build binary rpm-packages (binary in /usr/bin, data in /var/lib/mysql and etc) of fresh MariaDB on old Linux distribution like MandrakeLinux 10.0 (something like `rpmbuild -bb mysql.spec`)? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-discuss] failed to initialize plugins error
by Patrick Galbraith 10 Sep '11

10 Sep '11

Hi all! Moin moin, Privet! I have the latest 5.3 compiled as well as a client's own storage engine. The compile, link, all went well. I do notice they only compile their engine statically, but see symbols for it in mysqld: ... 000000000081d4f0 T filepro_rkey 000000000081d9f0 T filepro_rnext 000000000081da80 T filepro_rprev 000000000081d350 T filepro_rrange 000000000081db20 T filepro_rrnd 000000000081ddc0 T filepro_scan 000000000081dde0 T filepro_scan_init 0000000000e747c8 B filepro_share_list 0000000000e52ea0 D filepro_storage_engine 000000000081de00 T filepro_update 000000000081e020 T filepro_write 0000000000e74798 b ha_filepro_exts ... So, when I start mysqld, I get the error: "[ERROR] Failed to initialize plugins." If I run this with strace, I don't see it trying to load a particular shared library file, just it logging messages to the log, opening replication log and index. So, not sure what I need to load with "plugin_load". When I configured MariaDB top compile, I used the following (per what the client uses with their successful build of MySQL 5.1.30) ./configure --with-plugins=all --without-plugin-oqgraph --with-charset=utf8 --enable-assembler --enable-profiling --enable-community-features --without-plugin-ndbcluster --prefix=/usr/local/maria I'm guessing that I'm missing something obvious and simple? Thank you in advance for any help! Patrick

A new question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/native-sql-connector-for-libreofficeopenoffice --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have been using OO/LO for years and have used both the Java-Connector but also ODBC under both Debian-Linux and Windows-Vista. When it became available I switched to the Native MySQL-Connector as delivered by MySQL. Oracle now has obviously got rid of that connector. Is there or are there any plany for a native connector to LO/OO in MariaDB? Thanks for your help and regards H.

Re: [Maria-discuss] GUI/Workbench for MariaDB Aria?
by Peter Laursen 31 Aug '11

'transactional' in Aria will eanable crash recovery for the table. It will not make the table transactional (ie. START TRANSACTION, COMMIT, ROLLBACK etc.) are still ignored. Probably it was originaly intended to have it trasactional over time but I do not think focus is there at the moment. Byt yes .. it is just a checkbox and would be simple to add to any GUI (conditionally if engine = ARIA). But I think that if people want (user-)tables with the Aria engine you would use '1' in most if not all cases (temproary tables created by server internally is another thing). -- Peter On Wed, Aug 31, 2011 at 07:47, Ansgar Becker <ansgar.becker(a)googlemail.com>wrote: > Hi all, > I'm a bit unsure what this option really does, now that Peter said it > doesn't make a table transactional, but I'm sure there is a reason for why > it exists.

Hello: I have been using Navicat to administer my Oracle/Sun based MySQL servers for years. (www.navicat.com) Now I am switched over to MariaDB 2.8 using ARIA engine. What do MariaDB users recommend of good GUI front end that allows me to manage ARIA Create Table Transactional=0|1 Row_format=PAGE setting. Most Tools do not support all of the MariaDB settings in the table setup dialogs. Suggestions appreciated... md
