[Maria-discuss] Oracle sets 'tone' and standard/level of discussion
by Peter Laursen 05 Jan '15

http://mysqlrelease.com/2014/12/official-mysql-repos-for-suse-linux/ "Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, SUSE unfortunately chose to not provide users with a mature and robust version of MySQL as part of the distro," https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482 "The MariaDB open source database replaces the MySQL database system." I also posted this comment (don't know it it will be approved) *“Regarding SUSE Linux Enterprise 12, SUSE unfortunately chose to not provide users with a mature and robust version of MySQL as part of the distro .. ”* *https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482 <https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/12/#fate-316482>“The MariaDB open source database replaces the MySQL database system.”* *Maybe rather Oracle should try to understand *WHY” almost all recent Linux distros (as well as most major web2 companies) have switched to MariaDB.* *One important reason is that the public bug-tracker for Oracle/MySQL is incomplete. This was the most stupid thing Oracle ever did to MySQL and it is completely unacceptable in the open-source world. Another reason is that patches that are released as strictly GPL cannot be included in Oracle/MySQL. MariaDB can freely use such patches – primarily from major web2 companies (Google,Facebook etc.) – and they are doing and we have only seen the beginning.* *@guys .. soon time to find another employer!* -- Peter -- Webyog

[Maria-discuss] Does MariaDB support 2 level replication and crash recover from such situation?
by 司同 30 Dec '14

30 Dec '14

Hi, all I am working on MariaDB with replication topology A->B->C, in which B is the slave of A and also the master of C, thus C contains data of both A and B. and A, B would be modified by application, while C be read only. now let B crash, I alter A to let it be the new master of C, and this time C would be modified by application. then after a period of time, B restart, this time I need let C be the master of B, and I need B has the same data with A and C, thus the topology change from A->B->C to A->C->B. Does this be possible? (I set skip-slave-start for all servers.) Regards.

[Maria-discuss] Best way to find out what function(s) generate the value of the VIRTUAL/PERSISTENT column.
by Abhishek Kumar Pandey 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

Hi, I need to find out the function(s) which generate the value of VIRTUAL/PERSISTENT column. According to documentation here- https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/sql-commands/data-definitio… I have to use *SHOW CREATE TABLE.. *to get the definition. It is doable of course but It involves painful parsing of returned create table statement to get the required function(s)( As I want to display them in GUI client.) This function(s) is not returned in *show full fields from... *and I can't find any relevant information in INFORMATION_SCHEMA also. So my question is- Is there any better way of getting this information other than using SHOW CREATE TABLE.. and do parsing? or is it the only way of accomplishing it? Regards, Abhishek.

[Maria-discuss] 5.5.x vs 10.x
by Tanstaafl 29 Dec '14

29 Dec '14

So, thinking of building a totally new server from scratch on a new vmWare host for playing around, and was curious of the differences. Is 5.5 still being maintained just because it is the last major stable version before 10.x? But then isn't 10.x the way forward? Is 10.x still considered a drop-in replacement for MySQL? Thanks, Charles

[Maria-discuss] mariadb galera and storage engines
by Federico Razzoli 26 Dec '14

26 Dec '14

Hi! Galera claims that it only supports InnoDB tables (and MyISAM, experimentally). What about storage engines that add functionalities upon another table? For example, can I have a Mroonga or OQGRAPH or CONNECT/PROXY table built over an InnoDB table? As far as I understand this should be supported, since InnoDB will handle transactions. But did anyone test this? Regards Federico

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB OpenSuSE repo does not resolve all conflicts if KDE programs are installed.
by Peter Laursen 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

I have written about this in another thread. But let us take it from scratch. The other thread is messy. The problem is KDE and certain KDE programs. Quite a lot of those have an option to store data in MySQL (embedded or not) and they install dependent libraries in order to do so. Do this to reproduce and understand the problem: 1) Install OpenSUSE with a GUI. I used xfce desktop, but it should be the same with any destop not based on KDE (with KDE and KDE-derivates, it could be more complicated) 2) During install also install the "LAMP Server". Probably just installing MariaDB 10.10.14 from SuSE's repos later will also do. 3) Now install Amarok (for instance). Inspect dependencies being installed - including two MySQL-related libraries. I used the GUI for install but probably zypper has a --verbose option listing dependencies. See dependencies.jpg. 4) Register MariaDB's repo for SuSE '. See repos.jpg 5) Open "Software management" and search for MariaDB . See packages.jpg 6) MariaDB's RPMs do not resolve dependencies on libraries installed with Amarok (see conflict.jpg). 7) But you can do manually - if using the GUI at least (as in conflicts_resolved.jpg). Now everything installs and works fine after install. If you don't do it right first time (later is too late!) you will encounter issues. For instance I was only able to use command line clients as root. This is reproducible exactly the same way with OpenSuSE 12.3 GA as well as the 'bleeding edge' "OpenSuSE factory". Should not those dependencies be resolved automatically? -- Peter -- Webyog
