Disk Quota In MySQL


Is there a way to assign a limit on the size of a specific database? For example database A can take up no more than 500 MB.

One of my databases can potentially grow without any bounds and possibly stop other critical databases from operating. We are using MySQL 4.0.21 on Linux. We use innodb tables.

Moving Mysql To Another Hard Disk
I have a web based intranet application (php) that uses a mysql database. The server has just had a new drive added to it and am looking for a way to move the database from the current c drive to this new drive.I'm looking for a way to either:

move the entire database to the new drive (in which case do i have to do anything within the code - the database name is still the same and i'll presume another drive is still localhost can)

Can i just make Mysql save data into the new drive (and also move just the old data file to the new drive leaving everything else as it was).

Disk Size Of Tables[or Database] In Mysql Or Oracle
how can i know disk memory occupied by database[tables] in mysql or oracle.

Disk Performance
We have an application which tends to get very disk-io bound, spending large amounts of processor time in "iowait" during select queries.  Given that writes are relatively infrequent, which would the experienced admins recommend for the disk configuration:

Raid5 or Raid10?  Raid0 is even an option, since we have a backup server and could easily add another, but it's not preferable unless the read performance would increase substantially.

The hardware looks like this:

Dell PowerEdge 6650, 4x2.8ghz CPU, 12gb RAM, 4x36gb internal drives, raid 5
Powervault 220S, 14x73gb 15K drives, dual-connected to the server.  Current configuration is Raid5.

MySQL 4.0.18, RHEL3 (2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp) and now using the megaraid2 driver.  

There is probably room for optimization in the application, but that's currently out of our control.  We may even move to a different database platform, but if MySQL can handle the load I'd just as soon not.

Running MtSQL On A RAM Disk
I am trying to set up the same thing but have been stopped right from the
get go as I can not get a larger than 2G RAM disk going (using a 64 bit
Ubuntu installation).

I am hoping someone who has gone through the basic set up might get me
squared away to start. An offline conversation would be fine and
perhaps save the rest of y'all wading through said basics.

Restore Database From Another Disk
I'm wanting to restore my old database by copying the contents of the old /var/lib/mysql folder to the new server, but this isn't working.

Is there a documented procedure for doing this? I'm using InnoDB and MyISAM.

Data Kept On The Hard Disk
my mysql database went down... had to reinstall it... where is all the data for the tables kept - i got the /var/lib/mysql/ bit but thats only the tables

Showing Disk Usage
How can I see how much disk space is being occupied by an InnoDB table?

Looking into /var/lib/mysql doesn't seem to work anymore for InnoDB tables.

Please tell also if there is a way to see how much space is occupied by
a particular row or column of a table.

Data Location On Hard Disk
I have just installed MySQL 5.0 and finished the first test from a database application.

I saw that the data is stored in c:program...MySQl...

I am not happy with that. I want MySQL stores all data in a map of my own choice.

Flush A Heap Table To Disk?
As the subject says, is it possible to flush the contents of a heap
table to disk?

For example if I have data that I want to be inserted in to a heap
table (for optimisation reasons) but I don't want to risk losing *all*
the data if mysql crashes. Is it possible to perform something like a
flush so that if mysql does crash some of the data is saved.

Ibdata1 Is Close To Disk Size
I am running MySQL 4.0.13 with my-medium.cnf (attached) on a Solaris 8, 4x450
Mhz, 4gb RAM. All my tables are InnoDB. Currently my ibdata1 is 1.8 gb. I have
about 1 gig space left on the same partition. Also it is excruciatingly slow
now. How do prevent the ibdata1 from filling up the disk partition ? How do I
increase the speed on my MySQL? Code:

Copying Table To Disk During Execution
I seem to be having an issue with a query's results being paged out to
disk during runtime. I notice in processlist it saying "Copying to tmp
table on disk".

select col1, col2, count(ip) as 'COUNT' from db.table group by 2 order
by 1, 3;

None of the columns are a primary/foreign or an index. This query
returns 92K rows and has taken anywhere from 50 seconds to run to over
1.5 minutes. The table size on disk is around 33MB.

After doing some research i found that i should be changing the
tmp_table_size system variable. Originally it was set to the MySQL
default, 33554432. I set the varaible to 90,000,000 and it still
started paging out to the disk (this was the only query running at the
time). I would think that 90MB in space would have been enough to
handle the query since that would assume over 600K row size.

I actually had some trouble setting the tmp_table_size for the global
variable but was able to change it as a session variable.

I have also tried altering the query_cache variable (which has only
slowed the query down - currently it sits at a size of 50MB) and also
the sort_buffer_size but neither have made a difference.

What is the magic variable that i should be messing with?

Free Disk Space On DELETE
I'm building a huge DB. One particular table can contain as much as 125 million records. I need to DELETE records older than a year. That part works fine but it doesn't free any space on my hard drive (C:/). I tried OPTIMIZE TABLE and it still won't free hard disk space.

How Big ( Disk Size ) Would This Database Be: 4.2 Billion Rows
I have a database in MySQL version 5.0.19 that I'm making. Its structure is:

CREATE TABLE `big` (
`keyval` int(10) unsigned zerofill NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(20) default NULL,
`avail` enum('y','n') default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`keyval`),
KEY `keyval` (`keyval`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
The 'keyval' will be filled with every value from 00000000 to 4294967295 ( 4.3 billion rows ), and assume worse case of 20 characters in each 'name' element and 'y' or 'n' always set in the 'avail' colmn.

MyISAM Table And Sort Order On The Disk
I ran the myisamchk tool with the options --sort-index

confirm what this command did? I would like to see what the sort order
on the disk for each table in my database.

How Do I Reclaim Disk Space In Data Folder
I have 5 databases:

- mysql
- test
- product1
- product2
- product3

The hard disk on my server was near full, so I decided to delete databases product2 and product3 as I no longer need them. I dropped the databases product2 and I noticed the disk space was not freeed by MySQL after dropping this database. The tables in databases product2 and product3 are INNODB.

What is the best method to reclaim my disk space when dropping entire databases?

Disk Usage Increases After Dropping A Large Index?
I have a linux server which is hosting several very large (~20GB)
databases. In order to save some disk space I dropped an index on one
of the larger (InnoDB) tables because it is no longer needed. It took
about 30 minutes for MySQL to drop the index, during which time I saw
the free disk space decrease. I didn't think anything of it while the
drop operation was running because I figured it was some kind of temp
file being used by the drop (even though the temp directory for mysql
is supposed to be on another partition). To my surprise, after the
index was dropped, not only did I not have more free space as I
expected, but in fact I had about 2 GB less than I did before I
dropped the index. Huh?

So now I'm down 1 index and 2 GB of space. How does dropping a db
object actually increases the amount of disk used by mysql? Is there
anyway I can reclaim this space? MySQL version is 4.0.15

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I have a problem connecting to sql and can't find anything on the net to solve the problem.

I have some sql databases running on a server. when I'm root on the server and I want to login to sql I do "mysql -ustudent -p -Dwordnet30 and it works fine. when I'm logged in with the user account on the server, i get this error message:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

so with the same user name in mysql, i can log on when i'm root, but not when i'm the user. the grant table for the user looks like this: Code:

Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I just installed mysql on linux. If I open a terminal, su to root,
then type "mysql", I am able to connect to the server and run my
queries.

If I exit out of su so that I am my own id (baisley) and type "mysql",
I get this error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/home/data/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

Any idea why? mysql.sock has full permissions (read/write/execute), so
it should be accessable by user baisley. If I am baisley and I run
"mysql -u mysql" (as mysql is the user that the RPM set up), it will
connect.

What I would like to be able to do is run this without having to be
user mysql all the time. How do I go about setting that up, or is it
better to run all my queries/make tables as 1 user?

PROBLEM: (The heart of the matter)
Starting simple, created GridView Control using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, a few glitches here and there, used the MySQL Connector/ODBC v5.00.11 followed instructions. Can see database in Database Connections Window but when I try to connect the GridView Control to it I get:

ERROR [HY000][MySQL][MyODBC 5.00.11][MySQL] 2006 MySQL server has gone away"

Had thought that "Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2005 Express" might be messing with the ODBC driver so thought to download the .NET Connector. That's when it all went bad. The documentation does not say how to install or use the connector or where to put the files. It seems to assume that these bits of information are common knowledge and I suppose that if I had kept up with the technology it might be. But alas I didn't and it Isn't and It Don't work.

I've checked paths and connection settings and don't see any problems. My guess is now that the problem is coming from the opening and closing of the DB. my script, c_register.php uses a require_once('../mysql_connect.php') to open the connection to the database. But I also have a function definition in c_register.php that uses require_once('../mysql_connect.php') when called because it needs a connection to the DB. Here's a visual that might help:

MySQL Error Number 2003 :: Can't Connnect To MySQL Server On 'hostname'(10065)
I was running an older version of the query browser a while back to connect to an older version of mySQL (3.0) running on a linux box.

I can't go back to the older version of the query browser because the machine that ran it got re-formatted so I downloaded the new version and installed it.

So ... I get the following error when I try to connect:

How To Configure MySQL ODBC Driver To Connect To A Mysql Server On My Own Side Of The Router?
Using MS Access, I have attached to MySQL servers in other states
and other countries on the other side of my router. But when I use the
MySQL ODBC driver 3.51 to connect to a MySQL server on my own LAN,
the driver tells me it cannot make the connection. Here are the ODBC
driver connection parms:

Data Source Name: (free field - name my "my linux box" will do nicely)
Host/Server Name (or IP) - something like MSQLUserName@ServerName.net
has worked fine for me in the past. Now I'm trying 192.168.1.106
Database Name - whatever, mysqldb works fine, any valid db

User - root
Password - myrootpass

Port - 3306 has worked fine 4 me N the past. Dunno whether 2 use now
SQL Command On Connect - haven't ever put anything here

Perhaps there is some configuration in mysql user privilege for the
mysqluser "root" that would prevent him from logging from a remote PC
to the mysql server?

Table Rows Inserted By Embeddded MySQL Cannot Be Retrieved By MySQL Tcp Client
I have encountered a weird behavoir of embedded MySQL. Through a
simple program I made (in Delphi 6), I can insert rows to a table
through embedded MySQL and I can retrieve the rows from my program.

But using mysql.exe which points to the same table (through 127.0.0.1,
with the same basedir and datadir), I cannot see the rows I inserted
using my embedded program. Another way around, the rows inserted by
mysql.exe can be seen in my embedded program. But after a row is
inserted by mysql.exe, the rows inserted by the embedde program are
deleted (or cannot be queried).

Can anybody explain why is this? Is there a way to fix it?

Here is what it says to do, I don't know enough to be able to follow. Please advise:

If you have problems starting the server, here are some things to try:

* Check the error log to see why the server does not start.

* Specify any special options needed by the storage engines you are using.
* Make sure that the server knows where to find the data directory.
ME: How?
* Make sure that the server can access the data directory. The ownership and permissions of the data directory and its contents must be set such that the server can read and modify them.

MySQL-error : Can't Connect To Local Mysql Server Through Socket
On a freshly installed Fedora C3 (incl. webserver apache php mysql) i get
the following problem when connecting to mysql through a browser
(phpMyAdmin)::

#2002 Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

On the website of MySQL this error is mentioned but I found no solution.

In /var/log/messages the following log occurs :
localhost kernel: audit(....): avc: denied {write}for pid=2458
exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=mysql.sock dev=hda13 ...

What I have tried :

- mysql.sock is srwxrwxrwx, seems ok, but dont know what the s stands for
- the dir /var/lib/mysql was drwxr-xr-x and I changed it to drwxrwxrwx : no
effect
- tried different version of phpMyAdmin : same error
- installed my website and got the following error : No connection possible
with database (in the next version I will improve the error-messages)
- through commandline there is no problem in connecting to mysql (log in,
create databases, inserts, deletes, uploading dumps, making dumps, ....)

What is the solution or what else can I try ?

Remote Connection To MySQL DB Server From Client With No MySQL DB
I have MySQL server running on a Solaris machine. I have a Perl tool that is run on multiple operating systems (Linux, Solaris, MKS on windows, CYGWIN on windows). I would like to post to the MySQL database on the Solaris machine from this script when it is run on the different local clients. All these clients share a single network share (available via Samba on windows).

Is there a Perl module that I can install in the network share that I can use to connect remotely to the server DB?
