Re: [Maria-discuss] [Maria-developers] [All] MariaDB's best (download) month ever
by Jean Weisbuch 30 Sep '13

30 Sep '13

(this thread was originaly from maria-developpers) The mariadb.com/.org distinction is not really clear as both have a similar layout, designs and duplicate contents, plus distincting both sites from the sole TLD is not the most visible one ; i must admit that the first time i ended up on mariadb.com i thought at first that it was just the mariadb.org website that had a design update. Plus, there is a link to "mariadb.org" on the top menu of mariadb.com, a link to "Community" or "MariaDB Foundation" or a clear title would be better.

Because when the company was announced as Monty Program, a domain squatter registered the domain.

[Maria-discuss] MySQL bug affects mariaDB
by Peter Laursen 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

I think the 'mysql' client with MariaDB has a similar problem as it has with MySQL - refer? http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=70443 MariaDB installer installs my.ini to /datadir - what with MariaDB is a subfolder to /basedir. The server will look for it correctly as the registry key defining the service has a --default-file specification. But the command line clients don't read the registry key. @Wlad? -- Peter -- Webyog

[Maria-discuss] Giuseppe Maxia: Forking MySQL/ for how long can forks keep up?
by Colin Charles 27 Sep '13

27 Sep '13

Giuseppe Maxia asks some questions: http://datacharmer.blogspot.hk/2013/09/forking-mysql-for-how-long-can-forks… The comments featuring Justin Swanhart and Stewart Smith make a lot of sense - 5.6 was GA, it wasn't a GA-ready product. Its getting there to some extent (as do all MySQL releases: 6-9 months from GA date) Feel free to comment on the blog post above cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist MariaDB | t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles

[Maria-discuss] multi master and conflicts
by Roberto Spadim 26 Sep '13

26 Sep '13

Hi guys, New problems to solve here =) if anyone could help should be nice :) I have an old system that use only one server with aria/myisam tables (some temporary tables and some views too) I want to implement a multi master replication (near to a cluster...), but i should take care about replication conflicts.... There's some good pratices or books about implementing multi master without replication conflicts? Should I change it to galera cluster? Well maybe.. I don't know what to do with aria storage, galera works with innodb/xtradb/myisam, what about aria? i didn't tested yet I don't know what to do about commit phase with myisam too, since galera do the certificate at commits phase before commit, and myisam problably do a autocommit at each insert/update/delete, this will be a problem, or not? The idea is not use innodb or I should implement some tables or views to have a faster COUNT/MIN/MAX functions (myisam is optimized for it), and i should rewrite some codes to use BEGIN, COMMIT, and cancel if connection is lost Well physical problems... Servers will not be online all time, the network link isn't good, servers are ~50km far via a wifi link with some tree and birds and others problems (that's why i think async replication is ok, instead of galera 'sync' cluster) Any idea is well come, but should be nice something that myisam/aria could be used I asked some days ago about replication and galera and xtradb cluster, but i'm not sure what to do yet tks guys! ideas are wellcome -- Roberto Spadim

We're featured, pitted against Percona Server and MySQL 5.7 (Dimitri kindly did this for MariaDB 5.5 & 10) http://dimitrik.free.fr/blog/archives/09-01-2013_09-30-2013.html#174 It is unclear what versions of the software he used, or if its the latest alphas we've pushed, but we need to look into this clearly cheers, -colin -- Colin Charles, Chief Evangelist MariaDB | t: +6-012-204-3201 | Skype: colincharles

[Maria-discuss] -DHAVE_POOL_OF_THREADS not configureable?
by Reindl Harald 22 Sep '13

22 Sep '13

should "-DHAVE_POOL_OF_THREADS" not be configureable? Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: HAVE_POOL_OF_THREADS cd /home/builduser/rpmbuild/BUILD/mariadb-5.5.33a/sql && /usr/bin/c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DHAVE_EVENT_SCHEDULER -DHAVE_OPENSSL -DHAVE_POOL_OF_THREADS -DMYSQL_SERVER ___________________________ IMHO that is a nice idea but in tests with typical PHP allications it slows things down, in case of applications like "dbmail" which have their own sql-connection-pooling it doe snot have benefits yes, you need to enable it in the my.cnf, but i am a fan of disable things at compile-time which are not used inside a known infrastructure and keep binaries as small as possible
