Read & Write Locks
I need to lock some of my tables for a while with lock tables. However I find how the READ and WRITE locks is implemented in the MyISAM storage engine a little odd. When obtaining a READ lock all updates are prevented, including writes from the thread obtaining it. WRITE locks gives exclusive access to the issuing thread.
However what I want is to give read and write priveleges to one thread and read priveleges to all other threads, and I can't figure out how to obtain this effect with lock tables... Is it even possibel?

MySql Write Vs Read
Essentially I am faced with a design choice; have an oft run (modifiable) query run every time any user wants to run it, comparing criteria againt each and every user in the table and delviering list OR saving that list (user/user/) so the next time all that needs to be queried is the existence of a record in the table. The basic tradeoff; version 1 there are many simultaneous queries of the user db on complex search criteria; version 2 there are fewer but their are as many far more simple queries to a much larger table, not to mention many writes to same to keep the table current. I know this is pretty vague, but I was wondering if in general there is an area that mysql excels in vis a vis complex query smaller tables simple query larger tables. Question 2 is there anyway to guestiate the search/write times of a user log in to both query and update? #Records, fields, etc? I'd like to keep log in to < 10 seconds max.

Write Once Read Many Field
I am designing a database and one of the requirements my client has is that once data is entered into certain fields it cannot, under any circumstances, be changed. Is it possible to create a write once read many (WORM) field in MySQL directly?

Write Vs. Read Performance
I'm guessing this is just as much a file system question as a MySQL question, but I haven't been able to find any information touching this particular subject. Not considering data sent through network, what would be faster, fetching a row from a database, updating those columns that have been changed, let's say one of five, or simply don't fetch and update all the columns in the row (not including the id of course)?

No Read Or Write Between INSERT And UPDATE
I am using mysql with the InnoDB engine. I wrote a perl script that first selects something from a table, and then updates a second table based on the select from the first table. I need to make sure that there is no read or write to the tables while my script performs the insert and update. I looked at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/lock-tables.html and it says this: --------------------------------------------------------- If you are using a storage engine in MySQL that does not support transactions, you must use LOCK TABLES if you want to ensure that no other thread comes between a SELECT and an UPDATE. The example shown here requires LOCK TABLES to execute safely: LOCK TABLES trans READ, customer WRITE; SELECT SUM(value) FROM trans WHERE customer_id=some_id; UPDATE customer SET total_value=sum_from_previous_statement WHERE customer_id=some_id; UNLOCK TABLES; Without LOCK TABLES, it is possible that another thread might insert a new row in the trans table between execution of the SELECT and UPDATE statements. --------------------------------------------------------- However, I am using InnoDB and it DOES support transaction. So, does that mean that even if I don't lock my tables, it will still work? If not, what do I need to do?

Read/write Table Efficiency
I've got a bit of an efficiency question, and just trying to figure out how best to manage this. For my site HearWhere.com, I have a table which holds artists shows. When i am refreshing the collection of shows and geocoding the locations, the database response for user queries slows significantly - which is understandable. One option I'm considering is to have one database which the users connect to for queries, and a second separate database for writing the updates, and then I can just move the updated database to become the live database on a daily basis. The other option I think is just to have a separate table which I write the updates to, and then just replace the table the users interact with from the table which was updated Either way I go, at the moment everything would be done on the same sql server - I don't currently have enough traffic to justify multiple servers.

Can Seqouia/c-jdbc Segregate Read & Write DBs ?
I haven't started using Seqouia/C-jdbc but I am probing the ability to do something like this: Controller CW has 2 controllers under it - C1 & C2. C1 is local and has a host HA with X.db's tables t1 & t2. C2 is remote and has a host HB also with X.db's tables t1 & t2. Controller CR has 2 controllers under it - C3 & C4. C3 is local and has a host HC with X.db's tables t1 & t2. C4 is remote and has a host HD also with X.db's tables t1 & t2. X.db is MySql type, from experience I've found that MySQL is better off doing either only writes or only reads. So I want to segregate my read and write stores. Hence, HA & HB are meant for writing into, while HC & HD are meant for reading. Now writes coming to CW should be treated like transactions which land up on local and remote X.db. These are my WRITE-ONLY-DBs. Likewise I want reads to goto CR for load balancing with higher priority to read from HC than HD. Questions: (a) Can c-jdbc help in replication of data between HA-HC and HB-HD ? Which component would help to set this up ? Or do I need to go for out-of-band MySQL replication ? (b) Is this configuration optimal for high scalability or availability ? Should I have added contollers horizontally instead of vertically ? (c) Also, looks like I'd have to write an app to direct writes to CW and read to CR. Or is there a way to obviate that with the controller settings itself ?

Obtaining Read/Write Ratio -Replication
I am looking into a replication strategies to improve performance and redundancy for a MySQL 4.1 database running on Linux/Apache2/mod_python. I am curious as to the standard way of obtaining a Read/Write Ratio. What patterns of usage suit One-Way or Two-Way replication? In my situation I have a database that intermittent bursts of inserts through the day, a lot of batched deletes/inserts/updates over night and fairly constant selects. I'd expect the RW Ratio would fluctuate dramatically in a 24 hour period.

How To Change Read/write Permission On Mysql Data Base.
I had a total crash and the server guy gave me all my data in a hand basket.. just kidding.. Actually I was given the data all zipped up and the mysql data bases were separate and they were the direct downloads as follows: wp_comments.MYD wp_comments.MYI wp_comments.frm all data was in this format. I used SSH and uploaded it to the proper directory on the server and all is well at least as far as visitors seeing all the data.. but when I log into the site I get the following... WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_options' is read only] UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'O:9:"magpierss":18:{s:6:"parser";i:0;s:12:"current_item";a:0:{}s:5:"it ems";a:10:{i:0;a:12:{s:5:"title";s:13:"WordPress 2.2";s:4:"link";s:54:"http://wordpress.org/development/2007/05/wordpress-22/ I used SSH and tried to change the concerned files to writable and it works fine but the same error is generated. I can go direct to the data base using myAdmin and cannot edit (write) to any table. It says the data base is read only. On the same mysql area, I have another data base that was done via the normal way and I can write to it just fine. I can find nothing to change to make the site writeable. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.. SSH to the server and changing the files to writable has no effiect..

Mysql Master/Slave Read Write To Database Question
If I setup my database as master/slave and user enters data into the html form. This data is written to the master database. After html form submission user is directed to view.html to view the submitted data. The view.html page does the read from the slave. Would it be safe to assume that the data that user submitted would be written to master and immediately displayed in the view.html by reading slave data base?

Search And Write, Or Write And Recover?
The problem: I need to generate a 'unique string' for each row in a table. I already use auto_increment for system dependencies between tables. What is the best approach one of these or another? After generating a candidate 'unique string' the two strategies that came to mind are: 1. to then search the table's column to see if it is already assigned; locking the table for write while searching and writing the new row, or 2. set the column to UNIQUE when defining the table. Just go ahead and write the new row if you get a "non-unique" exception, generate another 'unique string' and try again. I've tried both on a small XP laptop and get "lock timeout exceptions" rather quickly using #1. But replace those with lots of re-writes when there starts to get "collisions" of 'unique string's.

Locks
I'm designing a system for bank operations registry, the system is required to give to one user a reference number that will be used in the bank's system as a reference. At the end of the bank's process this number will be also used as the key for keeping track of the file that the bank's system outputs. In the meantime, another user has to be able to generate another serial from the tracking system to make another bank operation. I've thought of two different aproches to solve this: 1) Lock the table with LOCK WRITE so there will be no chance to repeat the numbers. 2) Make an insert and later on, insert the rest of the information to the tables. Aproach number 1 has one evident problem, while the first user doesn't complete the whole procces, the lock will prevent other users to get a number to start their own proccess. Aproach number 2 has problems as well, because, if user number 1 doesn't complete the proceess there will be a serial number which doesn't have all the information that it should have. Is there another solution ?

Help: Detecting Locks?
I'm writing a program (using mysql++) where I want users to be able to lock a row while they are editing it. My problem is I don't know how the 2nd user can detect the lock vs it looking like a failed query. I have innodb_lock_wait_timeout set to 1 second, which works fine, but mysql returns two errors when I try to update: ERROR 1205 (HY000): Lock wait timeout exceeded.... ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax.... Unfortunately, as far as I know, I can only get the *last* error from the query which is 1064 - bad syntax. Since the 1064 overwrites the 1205 error, I can't differentiate the two.

Detecting Locks
I am having a hard time finding any info on this subject, so I was hoping maybe one of you could give me some pointers. I am writing an application in Java that uses Connector/J to interface with a MySQL database with InnoDB tables. When user #1 opens a certain record set I am locking this record set in share mode. Therefore if user #2 selects the same record set (and thus placing a lock as well) user #1 will not be able to update the record set. Is there a way to detect this, and thus making it possible to inform user #1 that an update is currently not possible due to another lock?

Frequent Table Locks
Since we upgraded to MySQL 4.0.13 from 3.23, we have been getting table corruption often. It happens about twice per week (with about 500 queries per second average). I have even set up a cron to run mysqlcheck every hour to try to do some damage control. The biggest problem is that once the table is corrupted, it seems to be locked. Well, no clients can read from it. Once repaired, just one record is usually lost for each time the corruption occurs. I am not sure if this is a MySQL bug or even how to reproduce it.

I created a table purely for writes, for storring log data, which won't be read, updated, or deleted. It may be read, maybe once a month, so the read really isn't important.Basically, all I will have is INSERTs. My question is, when one INSERT query is being processed, can other INSERT queries simultaenously be processed as well? Or is the table locked when 1 insert is occuring?

CPU Pegged - MySQL Locks
have a dual Quad core processor, 8 gig RAM, SUSE running MySQL 5.0.26. Randomly, usually during peak times, the MySQL will completely lock up and stop serving queries. Looking at HTOP during the crash we can see 1 out of the 8 processors pegged at 100% and hardly any RAM or other CPU usage going. If we kill 9 then MySQL starts again. I think one mysql process is locking the database. I don't know if this is a mysql bug or if it's a query locking every db. I'm leaning towards a mysql bug since a query that locks every would have to be an administrator database command.

What i find strange is that after mysqldump is finished with dumping the data and the copy operation is started, the database does not accept inserts or update. In our Java application (using hibernate) we are informed that tables are locked (even thoug they should not be). when the copy process is finished it works again!

Searching Table Which Is Being Constantly Updated Locks Up.
I'm logging mail to a database, and using php to make queries. The mail is coming in constantly, so the table is being added to, in batches of up to 30 mails. I have around 600k records. The queries are properly indexed, i think; i have index on date and domain, the fields I query on. Mostly the queries run quite fast, but sometimes the queries take up to two minutes. The query is a union of two queries into two different tables. mysqladmin -proc says the query is in state "sending data" for the whole time. Should it be a problem querying on a live table this size? Any parameters I can tweak and/or monitor? What if I seperated the data in two tables, one for today being updated constantly, and the other for the historical data, and todays data being moved to historical at midnight. Then queries to the historical data can be stored in the query cache.

Is there anything that I can do in MySQL to get this to work with text-characters also, or do I have to use numeric values for this?

Help Me Write This Join?
Hi there, been ages since I wrote any sql, and I'm a little stuck but I figure this is easy for you folks. I have this original query: $posts = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM " . $wpdb->posts . " WHERE post_status='publish' ORDER BY post_date DESC"); And this gives a lists of all posts. However, I want to only grab posts by a certain category now, say category #9. This information is kept in an intersection table called wp_post2cat. The columns in that table are: rel_id post_id category_id category_id is what I want, and post_id is the key pointing back to the original post. Posts can have multiple categories, but I just want the one listing where it's category 9, which is audio. So pseudocode would be something like: SELECT all posts WHERE post_status equals "publish" and the category is equal to audio (9).
