[Maria-discuss] New Question: Windows Authentication on AD
by AskMonty KB 20 Jun '13

20 Jun '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Plugins" by nobi: -------------------------------- Hi all, I have a question concerning the authentication plugin interface in MariaDB. We would use MariaDB on a Windows OS and want to authenticate the users against Active Directory. Additionally the users, who have logged in to Windows, should be able to connect from client programs to the server based on the token information in their environment without specifying an additional password (Single-Sign-On functionallity). MySQL sells this function in the commercial MySQL Enterprise version http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/security.html I have seen articles about authentication with PAM in the linux environment but found nothing about authentication issues in Windows world. Does there exist something that can be used? Best regards, nobi -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/windows-authentication-on-ad/

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Getting Started" by bacterie: -------------------------------- Hi, After switching from Mysql to MariaDB ( Server version: 5.5.31-MariaDB-1~squeeze-log ) we lost the ability to connect via SSL to the server.

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Aria Max Table Size for internal on-disk temporary tables
by AskMonty KB 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Aria" by trsystran: -------------------------------- Using MariaDB 5.5.31 (deb file for ubuntu 12.04 amd_64: 5.5.31+maria-1~precise). When a query requires an internal temporary tables, and this tables becomes too large to be kept in ram, the table is moved to disk using Aria engine. If the on-disk .MAD file reaches 4GB, an error occurs: {{{ [ERROR] mysqld: The table '/tmp/#sql_74e_0' is full }}} How can we change this limit? In https://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-max-table-size/ it is recommended to change MAX_ROW, but it only applies for explicitly created temporary tables. Looking at the code I found this in maria_create(): {{{ data_file_length= ((((ulonglong) 1 << ((BLOCK_RECORD_POINTER_SIZE-1) * 8))/2 -1) * maria_block_size); }}} Which amounts to 4GB with default values (8192 for maria_block_size). I created a new DB with aria-block-size = 32768 (the max value), and it still failed at 4GB. Even if it worked, it would mean the max size is only 16GB, and setting a large block size may have performance penalties. So what is the proper fix to increase this limit? With MyISAM as on-disk temporary tables engine the limit seems to be much higher (at least 14GB from experiments). -------------------------------- To view or answer this question please visit: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/aria-max-table-size-for-internal-on-disk-temporar…

[Maria-discuss] New Question: Executing a command file from within a command file?
by AskMonty KB 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hello, A new question has been asked in "mysql client" by JohnD: -------------------------------- I have a bunch of things I'd like to execute one after the other. A simple example would be: - drop table x; - drop table y; - create table y by executing create_table_y.sql - create table x by executing create_table_x.sql With the mysql command line, I can execute "drop table x;", and I can execute a SQL script with -e "source create_table_x.sql". But what is the good way to bundle all these together into a script which will do all the actions? The only way I can think of is to create a batch file which will call out to mysql for each action. And pass the password as an argument to the batch file. Like this: mysql -u root -p mypassword -e "drop table x;" mysql -u root -p mypassword -e "drop table y;" mysql -u root -p mypassword -e "source create_table_y.sql" mysql -u root -p mypassword -e "source create_table_x.sql" But this seems fairly clunky. Is there a better, or even best practice?

[Maria-discuss] Memory Leak?

[Maria-discuss] openbsd switched libmysqlclient back to older mysql one

Hi! I noticed this: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/databases/mariadb/Makefile?rev=… Revert back to using MySQL 5.1 for the time being. MariaDB 5.5 introduces a new libmysqlclient non-blocking API which utilizes co-routines. The X86 specific GCC ASM co-routine support hid the fact that there was an issue. The only fallback code so far is POSIX user contexts which OpenBSD does not support. Is this something we can fix to ensure that OpenBSD users can continue to use our libmysqlclient? cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.

Re: [Maria-discuss] Clear-text plugin

"no support for dlopen()" . How does this apply to Windows clients? We always build first on Windows and once we have no errors of any kind we build on Linux if the application exists for that platform (what MONyog does and SQLyog does not) and fix what issues may occur there. This issue has occurred with SQLyog (and as such for a Windows client). I am not coder/developer myself, but on Windows I think we have no other option than statically linking? We could of could compile the API as a .dll, but we don't (because we had a lot of problems with it earlier). -- Peter On Thu, Jun 6, 2013 at 3:25 PM, Sergei Golubchik <serg(a)mariadb.org> wrote: > Hi, Peter! > > On Jun 04, Peter Laursen wrote: > > We have the same problem.

[Maria-discuss] Clear-text plugin
by Peter Laursen 04 Jun '13

04 Jun '13

This is a continuation of https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/CONC-25. We requested support for the clear-text plugin (or a workaround of any kind) that would allow a client compiled with the MariaDB connector to use PAM authentication with MySQL Enterprise servers from Oracle. I will not dispute Sergei's opinions about Oracle's implementation. But I believe it misses the point. The question is if the MariaDB connector should be a replacement for the C-IPA from Oracle. And the question is nothing else than that. Not the quality of solutions bundled with Enterprise servers from Oracle. I would like to hear opinions not only from 'core developers' like Sergei, but also from wider circles in MariaDB organization (management, marketing) as well as the user community. For us the problem is like this: We introduced support for the clear-text plugin in SQLyog 11.1. In 11.12 beta2 we replaced Oracles connector with MariaDB (and had to removed it again). We had a few crashes and memory leaks with mariaDB Connector but that is getting in control now (ther were bugs in both the API and in oru code). We probably could patch the MariaDB code without much problems to support the full-text plugin - but we don't have a MySQL Enterprise server to test with and we cannot release without proper testing. We have already started getting complaints from users/customers about that what we introduced in 11.1 has been removed in current development tree. It seems that we have quite a lot of customers using Oracle's Enterprise servers wiht Oracle's PAM authentication. A solution/workaround would very much be appreciated. Regards Peter Laursen Webyog

Hi Jan, I suspect it's a server issue vs. client, since as you say mysql crashes. No client should be able to do that :) The real test, is to write a program in C against libmysql that uses the server-side prepared statement API and see if you can reproduce it there. Monty and his team definitely would want to know about the crash. Any chance you could run that with mysql running debug and capture a trace? I would want to get that to Monty and team ASAP.

[Maria-discuss] Aria table with auto increment PK - no concurrent inserts?

Hello, Aria FAQ says: "Multiple concurrent inserters into the same table." However, if I create a table with autoincrement PK, ENGINE=Aria ROW_FORMAT=PAGE (tried also TRANSACTIONAL=1) then there is no concurrency - only 1 thread is working, others are stuck in "Waiting for table level lock". I couldn't find the exact description of Aria engine behaviour in docs/faq/discussions - is it the way it's supposed to be? Thank you!

[Maria-discuss] New Question: database password?

Hello, A new question has been asked in "Getting Started" by TommiG: -------------------------------- Dear colleagues, is there a way to have user restrictions embedded into the database? I learned user accounts and passwords are stored as part of the DBMS, but not as part of the DB. Therefore someone could copy the physical DB-files to an memorystick, move it to another machine and with a fresh installation of MariaDB he can read and modify all data. We create a desktop application and would like to distribute a database with private information to the end users. Is there a way we can hide this information and restrict its access only by using our client application but not by any other client? Sure we could encrypt our secret data, but than the DBMS could not create inizes, constrains, etc. Thank you in advance.

Hi All. I use: MariaDB-server-5.5.30-1.x86_64 on CentOS release 6.4 (Final) 2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64 "flush logs" or "flush slow logs" does not recreate the file. In https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/flush.html there is "With no log_type option, FLUSH LOGS closes and reopens all log files." and "With a log_type option, only the specified log type is flushed." but neither command recreates the log file. I rotate slowlog through crontab: mv /var/log/mysqld-slow.log /var/log/mysqld-slow.log.old ; mysqladmin flush-logs Is it a bug or should it be so for some reason? Best regards, Rafal.

[Maria-discuss] Update mariadb-galera-server in Debian repository to 5.5.30
by Patric Falinder 17 May '13

17 May '13

Hi, I was just going to try MariaDB Galera on a couple of Debian 7.0 servers and noticed that the package mariadb-galera-server is not updated to version 5.5.30, it's still 5.5.29 which makes it impossible to install through the repository as it depends on libssl0.9.8 and Debian 7.0 is using libssl1.0.0. When looking at this bugreport https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4229 and if I understand it right, it's fixed in version 5.5.30, "Fix Version/s: 5.5.30-galera". Or have I misinterpreted that? Was mariadb-galera-server just missed when the updates where made? Can someone clarify that it's fixed in version 5.5.30 and if the repository is going to be updated? Thanks for your time, -Patric -

[Maria-discuss] mariadb update through yum repo when new version is available?
by Rafał Radecki 16 May '13

16 May '13

Hi All. I use http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5.30/centos6-amd64/ . Current version is 5.5.30. I would like to use the same version on all my mariadb machines so that (for example) the file format of storage engines would be the same (I make frequently rsyncs between servers). Lets assume that a new version 5.5.31 would be available in repo and then an update would be made. Are updates from 5.5.X to 5.5.Y always safe (small changes) or there can be problems/I should always read release info? Best regards, Rafal.

[Maria-discuss] int(x) does nothing
by Richard Couture 15 May '13

15 May '13

We discovered that declaring an int(x) of x characters does not seem to impose any restrictions what-so-ever on the size of data that can be stored in that int. Storing an int of greater dimension than that which was declared does NOT even generate a warning. Can someone please tell us why we are allowed to make such declarations and what are there purposes?

[Maria-discuss] Spider 3.0 is merged against MariaDB 10.0
by Colin Charles 12 May '13

Hi! Kentoku Shiba has merged the latest Spider 3.0 against MariaDB 10.0: https://code.launchpad.net/~kentokushiba/maria/10.0-spider-3.0 I would like to propose this for merging There is also a complete test suite now, and Kentoku has written some instructions: == testing Spider I pushed Spider into "lp:~kentokushiba/maria/10.0-spider-3.0". It's tested on "CentOS 6.3 x86_64" and "Windows 7 professional 32bit". Test command is the followings. > cd mysql-test > ./mysql-test-run.pl --mysqld=--innodb --suite=spider The following test command can't done yet, because it needs some change for MariaDB. > ./mysql-test-run.pl --mysqld=--innodb --suite=spider/bg Spider's background/parallel search feature works allocate and free result-set from data node on different thread, but MariaDB 10.0's "per thread memory usage" feature can't understand it. > ./mysql-test-run.pl --mysqld=--innodb --suite=spider/handler Table partition feature need to support "handler" command. I have a patch file. In addition, it is awesome to note that Kentoku & his team behind the development of Groonga storage engine have also won an award (Japan OSS Incentive Award): http://ossforum.jp/en/node/1277 Thanks cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.

[Maria-discuss] KB Question: lgpl .net connector

The following question has been posted to the Knowledgebase: https://kb.askmonty.org/en/lgpl-net-connector/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - lgpl .net connector Will there be an lgpl .net connector released in the future? I understand that most mysql downloads are for windows machines which would indicate a large market for mariadb. An lgpl .net connector would be a big incentive for a lot of people to move on MariaDB i think. My company currently use SQL Server but are looking at other options. An lgpl licence for mariadb would be the difference between us moving to mariadb rather than mysql or the liberally licenced postgresql. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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

[Maria-discuss] aria checksum
by Scott Feldstein 30 Apr '13

30 Apr '13

Hi, I have data which I want to store in the aria storage engine, the data is inserted then never updated or deleted, although the table could be truncated. This data could potentially be replicated in production. The data is inserted in parallel and once the table reaches a certain capacity data is no long inserted into it. My question is, would I want to turn on the checksum for this data? And, if yes, should I use table checksum or page checksum? What are the advantages / disadvantages of this? I tried searching docs and couldn't find a breakdown so if someone could answer this or point me to a doc or discussion that would be great. Right now I am using DYNAMIC row format since I want the smallest footprint possible. thanks, Scott

[Maria-discuss] New server, switch to MariaDB, different versions
by Tanstaafl 27 Apr '13

27 Apr '13

Hello, My current (8 yr old bare metal) server is currently running mysql 5.1.62, with just a couple of very small databases: postfixadmin and roundcube I am setting up a shiny new virtualized (ESXi host) server, that now has MariaDB 5.5.30 on it... My question is, can I do a dump from my old server running mysql 5.1.62, then restore that dump to my new server running MariaDB 5.5.30, run mysql_upgrade, and have any kind of reasonable expectation of it working? I'd rather not update the current (production) server to MariaDB (I'm gunshy when it comes to major changes on a production system). If not, then my other option would be to downgrade MariaDB on the new server to 5.1.66... but again, I'd rather not do that if it isn't necessary. Thanks - I'm really looking forward to saying goodbye to mysql (for political reasons, the software itself has served me well these 8 years, it's just too bad that they got bought by Oracle)...

[Maria-discuss] TokuDB + MariaDB: libjemalloc is important

Hi! Continuing on the interest in libjemalloc, and how we have a thread started on in, especially since Percona is building their server going forward using it (see: https://lists.launchpad.net/maria-discuss/msg00788.html) we've also had requests from Team Tokutek, that TokuDB also requires us building with jemalloc for a good experience. I'm adding Tim Callaghan to the discussion, as TokuDB has been building & releasing with it for over a year The other Callaghan who's on this list, Mark, has also made posts about jemalloc: https://www.facebook.com/MySQLatFacebook/posts/486784224710172 & https://www.facebook.com/notes/mysql-at-facebook/using-jemalloc-to-fix-a-pe… Shall we think about using a different malloc implementation?

[Maria-discuss] Fedora test day for replacing MySQL with MariaDB
by Colin Charles 19 Apr '13

19 Apr '13

Hi all, By now you must know of the movement to replace MySQL with MariaDB in Fedora-land (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReplaceMySQLwithMariaDB) One important thing is to ensure that MariaDB is a drop-in replacement. Fedora is a fast-moving high quality Linux distribution, so their focus aims are to ensure that MariaDB and MySQL are compatible, data can be migrated easily and there are minimal/no upgrade issues (and if so, they need to be documented) This is why on 30 April 2013, there is a Fedora test day dedicated to this very important task: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2013-04-30_MariaDB I plan to be on IRC for as long as humanly possible on #fedora-test-day (freenode) and will be watching the process closely. If you would like to participate, this is naturally welcome to help new MariaDB users Thanks! cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.

What about its actual MariaDB-versionned compatibility ? I also noted that the client library code is in active and constant development. Is it aimed at evolving at the same time as MariaDB, or will we have, as it's the case for MySQL, a client library for each new MariaDB release ?

[Maria-discuss] Single-threaded performance & optimizer overhead
by Colin Charles 03 Apr '13

03 Apr '13

Hi! Mark Callaghan asks this on Facebook: While testing single-threaded performance to compare MySQL 5.1 with 5.6 I think there is much more overhead in the optimizer in 5.6. Do you have benchmark results for a single-threaded workload with fast queries (like SELECT one row by PK from a cached table)? I am curious whether new versions of MariaDB have a similar increase in optimizer overhead. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=68825 He also wrote a blog post: http://mysqlha.blogspot.com/2013/04/mysql-56-single-thread-update-only.html Might make a great post at our blog cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ | twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles MariaDB: Community developed.

I found that after migration following SQL returns wrong sorted data: SELECT l.part_key, l.part_depth, l.part_order, l.is_header, DATE_FORMAT(ph.internal_date,GET_FORMAT(DATETIME,'ISO')), data FROM dbmail_mimeparts p JOIN dbmail_partlists l ON p.id = l.part_id JOIN dbmail_physmessage ph ON ph.id = l.physmessage_id WHERE l.physmessage_id = <ID> ORDER BY l.part_key,l.part_order ASC; however when I run it from command line it works well. Probably it does not fail always because of not all emails damaged. Not sure if it caused by migration to mariadb, but problem appeared near same time.

[Maria-discuss] WL#4925 and multi-source replication
by Greg 15 Mar '13

15 Mar '13

Hi, I'm testing multi-source replication with 6 sources, it works great ! Now I'm at the "HA" state, testing a master multi-source with DRBD. To do a safe switch between masters, I have to enable sync_binlog=1 and then the master delay grow... I see that WL#4925 suggest a solution that could work : is that job in progress in MariaDB 10 trunk ? And if not, how to ask to include it ? Thanks! -- Greg
