[Maria-discuss] New Question: Which datatypes are supported by MariaDB
by AskMonty KB 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Getting Started" by giordano: -------------------------------- I would like to know which datatypes are supported by MariaDB. I'm asking since I'm little confused. For example, the knowledge base contains a chapter temporal datatypes: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/temporal-data-types/ where the the datatype timestamp is defined: "it defines a set of correctly formed values that represent any valid Gregorian calendar date between '0001-01-01' and '9999-12-31'" If I look at the MySQL-site http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/de/datetime.html The definition for timestamp is: "The TIMESTAMP data type is used for values that contain both date and time parts. TIMESTAMP has a range of '1970-01-01 00:00:01' UTC to '2038-01-19 03:14:07' UTC." These are different definitions.I know that the datatype defintions in the knowledge base contains the syntax of SQL-99. What makes me insecure is which definition has priority. Also I do not know if all datatypes in Oracle-MySQL are supported by MariaDB. For example, tinyint, bigint. (Sincerly, I know that MariaDB understand these datatypes, but I wonder if they have the same definition as given by the Oracle-MySQL-site.) Thanks for help -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/which-datatypes-are-supported-by-mariadb/

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Does MariaDB support multiple data directories within a single instance?
by AskMonty KB 15 Jul '13

15 Jul '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Does MariaDB support..." by joshuavalencia: -------------------------------- MySQL 5.6 lets you define separate data directories for individual tables. This is useful if you want to put large tables on a separate storage backend - e.g. frequently used tables go on local disk, and some larger tables go on ISCSI. Does MariaDB support having multiple data directies within a single running instance? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/does-mariadb-support-multiple-data-directories-wi…

[Maria-discuss] New Question: page_checksum performance implications
by AskMonty KB 11 Jul '13

11 Jul '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Aria" by Vasilis: -------------------------------- Does enabling page_checksum for the Aria engine involve significant drops in performance when compared to a disabled page_checksum(ed) table? Are there any benchmarks on this one? At the end, should I enable it or not? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/page_checksum-performance-implications/

Hello, A new question has been asked in "A MariaDB Primer" by marcw: -------------------------------- Hi, I'd like to use MariaDB to back-end a system that expects an ODBC interface. Is there a way to create a system DSN for MariaDB in Windows 7? It's not showing up as a connection type in the Data Sources panel. -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/creating-a-system-dsn-for-mariadb-on-windows/

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Amazon RDS or AWS services
by AskMonty KB 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "MariaDB community" by openiduser28: -------------------------------- I'm interested in trying out MariaDB, and was wondering if anyone has MariaDB running with Amazon RDS or is it only possible using some sort of VM? I can try it out that way, but being on the free tier sure limits things. Thanks! -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/amazon-rds-or-aws-services/

[Maria-discuss] 5.5 versus 10.0/5.6 performance issues
by Puff, Werner 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Because of performance issues with our DBMS we recently decided to migrate our software to MySQL or one of its forks. We would prefer MariaDB. We created a performance test suite so that we are sure to make the right decision. Beside other values our test measured the average workflow processing time including multiple database transactions. The unexpected outcome was, that we had a big difference in the processing times between 5.5 and 5.6 based databases. average-time [ms] (lower = better) MySQL 5.6 233 Percona 5.6pre 208 MariaDB 10alpha 194 MariaDB 5.5 1248 MySQL 5.5 993 (Firebird 2.5 9694) We are bound to very special hardware, the biggest bottleneck there is USB-stick based storage (cannot be changed for now). Our interpretation of the results and the research we were doing so far is, that the changes within InnoDB/XtraDB storage engine in connection with our "very special" storage solution causes this differences. Can anybody confirm that the changes had a high impact on storage mediums with slow access rates? Or does anybody have an idea if it possible to optimize MariaDB 5.5 (we would like to go with MariaDB) to get the same performance with MySQL 5.6?

[Maria-discuss] Mysql resource limits.
by Rafał Radecki 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Hi All. I would like to limit resources available to a given user in mysql. I know that there is https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/user-resources.html, I also know that cgroups can be used at operating system level. What are your experiences in limiting resources in mysql? I've used percona statistics and had information provided by it. Are there any better solutions? Best regards, Rafal Radecki.

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Local state seqno out of sync with group
by AskMonty KB 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Galera" by uxbod: -------------------------------- We have MariaDB and Galera working in our lab on a three node cluster. When setting them up the wsrep options for each node were as follows: {{{ node1: wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://" node2: wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://172.30.1.3" node3: wsrep_cluster_address="gcomm://172.30.1.1" }}} Once all the nodes were in sync I shutdown node1 and set its wsrep_cluster_address to be 172.30.1.2. This I thought would allow the three nodes to keep in sync. What happened though was when I started MariaDB backup I received the error: {{{ 130702 8:35:51 [ERROR] WSREP: Local state seqno (16053) is greater than group seqno (15898): states diverged. Aborting to avoid potential data loss. Remove '/var/lib/mysql//grastate.dat' file and restart if you wish to continue. (FATAL) at galera/src/replicator_str.cpp:state_transfer_required():34 }}} Why has this happened ? Is it safe to proceed with the recommendation of removing grastate.dat ? -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/local-state-seqno-out-of-sync-with-group/
