[Maria-discuss] Flush logs does not recreate slowlog.
by Rafał Radecki 24 May '13

24 May '13

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.

However, when a distribution or OS stops receiving security and other updates it becomes difficult to freely provide packages for that platform.

Accordingly, this will be the final release of MariaDB 10.0 for the following distributions: - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS "Hardy" - Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric" If your chosen Linux Distribution or Operating System is deprecated, packages or support are not completely unavailable. Companies such as SkySQL and others provide support for all versions of MariaDB back to even very old MySQL versions. This includes packaged binaries. Contact them for more details.

[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

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
by Daniel Bartholomew 09 May '13

09 May '13

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
