How To Export A Large Table To Tab-delimited File?
The following code "SELECT * from Table INTO OUTFILE '1.txt'" exports only the first 1000 rows, while I have about 5 million. Any way to export all of them at a time into tab-delimited text-file?

Tab Delimited Text File Into Mysql
I wish to put a text file into a mysql table. The text file entries are delimitated by tabs. Example: 123 456 7 89 (That is, '123' is a data, '456' is a data but also '7 89' is a single data). What command should I use? I wish to use LOAD DATA INFILE but in wich way? Something like LOAD DATA INFILE "myfile.dat" into table01(a, b, c); would be enought or I'll have only '7' and not '7 89'in row c?
Generate INSERT SCRIPT From Tab-Delimited Text File
Any recommendations on how to generate an INSERT SQL script for the records in a tab-delimietd text file? The limitation is that, while I do have command-line mySQL access locally, I do not at my remote host, so I will need to come up with a solution that I can run via something like phpmyadmin, mysqlcc, or TOAD for mySQL.

PhpMyAdmin File Export Creates Squares !
I'm doing an SQL dump using phpMyAdmin where I leave all the standard settings and choose 'save as file' with no compression. However when I open the downloaded file all does not look well ! It's full of squares and I cannot import it anywhere because of syntax errors. I tried the phpMyAdmin documentation but there's no search and the Wiki on their site is practically empty. Any ideas where the squares are coming from ??

Method For Importing Large Database File To Mysql
I use phpMyAdmin on my shared hosting accounts. On my development computer I have a large mysql table (270MB) that I want to import into the website database.

How To Export Db Or Table Structure?
We have a very large MySQL database, and the designer of the database no longer works for us. I need to re-create the same table structure, but without the content, on a separate machine. I know I can do a show tables on the existing db, and also a describe on those tables, so I know what the table structure looks like. I am trying to avoid having to re-type the create table statements for each table. Is there some kind of export command that will export that info to a file without the contents of the tables themselves? The current MySQL server version is 3.23.2-alpha-log. It is running on SunOS 5.6 (i386). If it matters, the new box will be a dual proc linux server, probably running RedHat 6.x or 7.x. We want to start with an empty database on that box.

Phpmyadmin Export Problem With Order Of Table Creation
This is a phpmyadmin question more than anything, but I hope someone may be able to help. When creating a dump of a normalized database with 26 innodb tables, phpmyadmin export seems to only export the table structure/data in alphabetical order, rather than FK contraint order. Thus when importing the dump of the data, I need to manually go through and select the order to make sure the constraints hold up. Has anyone else seen this? I'm running phpmyadmin 2.5.4 on both linux and win xp.
Large Table
I have a website with over 36,000 registered users. I have a table with 5 million+ records, each of which correspond to a particular user. Obviously some users are tied to a few of these records, others are tied to thousands.I am trying to decide: -Keep everything in the one table, and allow it to grow infinitely large. -Create an individual table for each of the 36,000 users and keep only their records in their respective table.
Export MySQL Rows, Leave Out Command To Create Table
I am changing servers and I have a table with 500,000 rows. I exported the first 100,000 with the table information. The table is now setup on the new server with the first 100k, but now I need the other rows (100K at a time). When I try to export, I always get table data, to create the table again. How do I tell PHPMYAdmin to just export the rows to insert into the table, and leave out any command to create the table again?
MERGE Vs 1 Large Table
Ok, so I have a bunch of small tables I'm creating based on the data. Users submit information with a # and a source, and their review of it. My problem is the #'s between the sources could be identical so I broke the main table up into each table for each source. (only one # per-source so I'm using it as unique so I don't get more than one entry per-source) I'm curious if MERGING the tables when doing a query will be slower than doing the 1 large table. My idea for the 1 large table was #####sourceID that way they could be unique still - but it is easier and cleaner to use seperate tables. So in the end... is merge as fast as 1 large table?
Large Table Structures
What are your opinions on large table structures? I am building the largest database I have ever built and want to make sure its done right.. We are creating a db for entering information from large forms... The simple forms I have just been creating as one or two tables as needed.. But now I have a form with the possibility of 100 fields.. many of them blobs... I am seperating the forms into logical sections... For example, Job Information, Contact Information, etc... Would it be better to store each logical section as a seperate table since the number of fields in the table is so high... or does it even matter at all?
Large Test Table
How do I create a very large table, for testing? Can I download one somewhere? I've tried to search google, but couldn't find anything. The contents dosn't need to mean anything, so a random function with a loop or so should do it, but if I could download a large test table somewhere with "meaning" that would be great.
Index For A Very Large Table
This is the first time I try to use MySQL for very large tables. Up till now I used if for small tables, and was very pleased (great job, guys - thanks). Experienced users warned me against possible problems with *index* definition for large tables: they claim MySQL indices are stored completely in memory, which is problematic to me : I have a huge table and limited memory size (RAM). I did the math, and the entire index just won't fit into the RAM. Unfortunatelly it will be a while before management approves hardware improvements. Could anyone please advise whether MySQL really needs to store the entire index in memory ? Or is there some way to configure this ?
Copy Large Table?
I want to copy just part of a very large table from one database to another database. The table contains several million of rows. So far the only thing I can think of is using MySql dump. However, that will give me all the rows in that table, right? But I just want to grab 1000 rows to do testing.
MySQL With Large Table.
I am using MySQL for a table which will have 100M+ records, avg length of records being 130 bytes. When the number of records reach approx. 25M (and the file size close to 4GB), the rate of inserts falls drastically from 800 per second to 30-40 per second. Details: * MySQL 3.23.58 on Fedora Core 3 * Table has 4 indices. * I have got rid of 4GB file size problem with MAX_ROWS=1000000000. * File system : ext3 on single disk. ext3 could create 10G file without much trouble. So I am convinced that ext3 is not the bottleneck. * Tried using InnoDB engine but it also doesn't meet the requirements. Requirements of database: * A single table in the database with 100M+ rows, each of size 130 bytes (approx). * 500-600 inserts per second. * 200 selects and 200 updates per second. (These statements will affect only one row) * 3-5 select statements per minute which can return 10k to 500k records. * No foreign keys/ACID transaction requirements. * Fast recovery in case of crash. Questions: * Does MySQL performance drops when the table grows beyond 4G? * Which are most important server variables which need to fine tuned? Currently I am using only key_buffer = 512M.
Copying A Large Table
I need to copy a large table without locking the database. So at the moment i have Insert into newtable select * from oldtable. This locks the database for 10 seconds which although doesn't sound like a lot of time is 2 much for what i need the database for!. I have looked at these commands FOR UPDATE. LOCK IN SHARE MODE. SQL_BUFFER_RESULT But I am not quite sure if any of these actually perform what i would like to do. The other option is to update the table line by line or in chunks using limit i suppose. But im sure there must be a better way.

Large Database Table
I am using MYSQL in order to develope a database table that currently has about 20 million records. The table grows on a daily basis and is expected to grow to a size of about 300 million records.I wanted to get some suggestions in order to handle such large database. What kind of indexes are best? When should splitting the table be considered? What are ways of achieving good performance of queries?
Breaking Up A Large Table
I'm working with a web-based project management app that stores task information for multiple users in a common 'tasks' table. The table has over 500K rows at this point and is accessed by around 1000 users. The queries are optimized and the table is indexed properly (I think) but as the db grows performance is starting to lag. I'm thinking that the quick fix would be to break up the tasks table into smaller ones by user. So ... is that a good idea? All of a sudden I'm going to have 1000 more tables. Also the app code will be adding tables on the fly as new users come on board. (The existing tables are all of type MyISAM)
Extracting Data From Large SINGLE-table Database To MULT-table Relational Database
I have a very large single-table database of articles that I want to convert to a multi-table, relational database. The existing single-table database contains fields for article author, article source, and article category, where several 'author', 'source', and 'category' IDs repeat dozens of times for hundreds of different articles. I want to create seperate tables for author, source, and category and populate the new tables by extracting data from the original single-table database by unique ID field. I figured out how to use INSERT and SELECT to pull data in new tables, but can't figure out how to pull only a single instance of a unique author, source, and category to create master reference tables for author/source/category.
Index For A Large Myisam Table (MYD ~=7GB, MYI ~= 7GB)
I have a very large table with 66,836,760 rows (in my world), MYI and MYD files each about 7GB in sizes and even though I've created indexes for all the possible columns, some queries are still slow. I think I read somewhere that for a very large table, there is a way to configure Mysql to store the index file separately just for that table to facilitate the query. How do I do that?
One Large Table Or Many Small Tables?
I'm trying to decide whether to use one large table or many small tables. I need to gather information from various devices (about 500). Each device has its own Id and some data. Should I use only one table with an indexed column for the ID and another column for the data, or should I use 500 tables each with only one column for the data?
Selecting From A Large Table In Perl
I have a large table with 4 million rows. I need to do an operation on each of the rows. I am using Perl. When I use the following code on a small table, it works just fine but on the large table, it gets stuck on line 3. As soon as it executes line 3, my hard drive starts going and keeps on going with no end. It never reaches line 4. My diagnosis follows the code fragment below: -------------------------------------code fragment begin 1 my $sql = 'select myColumn from myTable'; 2 my $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql) || die("dbh prep failed"); 3 $sth->execute() || die("execute sth failed"); 4 my $colValue; 5 $sth->bind_columns($colValue); 6 while ($sth->fetch()) { 7 do something to $colValue; 8 } -------------------------------------code fragment end I think this is because mySQL is trying to load all 4 million rows into memory. Is there a way, perhaps a command line switch, to delay this so that it processes one row at a time. I have tried adding SQL_NO_CACHE to my SELECT statement but that did not make any difference at all. On a related note, when I was trying to export the four million rows using mysql command line, I had a similar problem but I found the -q command line switch for mysql command line (From the manual: -q or --quick means "Don't cache result, print it row by row.") I hope there is something similar for my Perl problem above too. Or am I doing something completely wrong in the way I am doing this? I am a newbie to mySQL.
Optimizing Join W/ Large Table
Here is a high level description of my tables I have a table called Items items are grouped by an ID, but it is NOT unique I have an index on ID for the Items table and a table called CompletedItems completed items consolidates information about the items, and here the ID is unique. I have unique index on ID for the CompletedItems table What i need is a query that will return all item id's which have not been completed. I have this query: select distinct(items.id) from items left join (completeditems) on (items.id = completeditems.id) WHERE completeditems.state is null; this gives me the data I want except there are two problems a) this query takes a long time to run. while it is running, the completed items table is locked, which causes several other processes to block while this is happening. to give you an idea of scale, the items table has about 20 million records in it, and the completed items has about 4 million.
