Using Sakila test database

If you want to install a test database "sakila" can be downloaded from mysql site.
The foreign key checks stored procedure can also be downloaded and used with the database.

!#/bin/sh

wget http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/sakila-db.tar.gz

tar xvf sakila-db.tar.gz

cd sakila-db

mysqladmin create sakila

time mysql sakila < sakila-schema.sql

time mysql sakila < sakila-data.sql

lynx -source http://110.212.191.57/shantanu/checkforeign.txt | mysql sakila

_____

World Database :

wget http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/world.sql.gz
gunzip world.sql.gz
mysqladmin create world
time mysql world < world.sql
_____

If you want a really big database, try the test employee database available at launchpad.

wget http://launchpad.net/test-db/employees-db-1/1.0.6/+download/employees_db-dump-files-1.0.5.tar.bz2

Helper table to calculate dates:

There are times when you want to extract only a part of the date field, for e.g. month-day. You can simply use the relevant function for e.g. quarter(dateval) or month(dateval), but it will not use indexes. In order to improve the query you can now simply
join the table with mycalendar on dateval filed and use the column quarter or month in the "where" clause.

Slow:
select count(*) from sometable where year(entry_date) = 2009 and month(entry_date) = 9;

Fast:
select count(*) from sometable as a inner join mycalendar as b on a.entry_date = b.dateval where b.year=2009 and b.month=9;

Apart from the speed advantage, you can now easily select the function as column name without actually executing it. For e.g.

select b.dayname, b.monthname from sometable as a inner join mycalendar as b on a.entry_date = b.dateval where ...

Today's date and its properties will be stored in this helper table as shown below:

mysql> select * from mycalendar where dateval = current_date()\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
id: 40082
dateval: 2009-09-27
year: 2009
month: 9
dayofmonth: 27
dayname: Sunday
dayofweek: 1
dayofyear: 270
last_day: 2009-09-30
monthname: September
quarter: 3
to_days: 734042
week: 39
weekday: 6
weekofyear: 39
yearweek: 200939
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Maatkit examples

If you want to check if the table exists on the second server, use --nocrc check. "count" check is disabled by default. If you want to check if the tables are the same based on the count of the records, use the second example.

mk-table-checksum

# mk-table-checksum h=localhost,u=root,P=3306 --databases myDB h=192.168.50.113,u=root,p=PassWd,P=3306 --databases myDB --nocrc | mk-checksum-filter

You can check all the databases against the other server using the shell script.
#/bin/sh
for each dbName in `mysqlshow`
do
mk-table-checksum h=localhost,u=root,P=3306 --databases $dbName h=192.168.100.101,u=root,p=PassWord,P=3306 --databases $dbName --no-crc --count | mk-checksum-filter

mk-table-sync

On Localhost:
+------+---------------------+
| id | tran_time |
+------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2011-06-07 07:58:51 |
| 1 | 2011-06-07 17:38:51 |
+------+---------------------+

On 10.10.10.24:
+------+---------------------+
| id | tran_time |
+------+---------------------+
| 1 | 2011-06-07 07:58:51 |
+------+---------------------+
_____

When you will need to sync the localhost data with remote 24 server, you will need one insert statement. Whereas if you want to sync the remote 24 with the local, then in that case, one delete is required.

/usr/bin/mk-table-sync --print --no-check-slave h=localhost,u=shantanu,p=shantanu@123,P=3306 --databases test --tables tz1 h=10.10.10.24,u=shantanu,p=shantanu@123,P=3306 --databases test --tables tz1 | more
INSERT INTO `test`.`tz1`(`id`, `tran_time`) VALUES ('1', '2011-06-07 17:38:51')

/usr/bin/mk-table-sync --print --no-check-slave h=10.10.10.24,u=shantanu,p=shantanu@123,P=3306 --databases test --tables tz1 h=localhost,u=shantanu,p=shantanu@123,P=3306 --databases test --tables tz1 | more
DELETE FROM `test`.`tz1` WHERE `id`='1' AND `tran_time`='2011-06-07 17:38:51' LIMIT 1

* The print option will display the statements instead of actually executing it.
* Change the --print to --execute if you want to really sync the data.

Example command:

mk-table-sync --execute --charset utf8 --verbose --no-foreign-key-checks h=1.2.3.4,d=sync,t-uad_b_stop,u=myuser,p=mypass

_____

parallel-dump and restore

Dump all the tables from someDB database, excluding the tables starting with the name "mail" and "qb". For e.g. mail_backup, mail_head

$ time /usr/bin/mk-parallel-dump -h'localhost' --no-gzip --base-dir '/home/develop/pdump' --databases 'someDB' --ignore-tables-regex 'mail|qb'
--ignore-tables 'tbl1,tbl2,tbl3,tbl4' --socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'

We can restore all or any one table (for e.g. Customer) using the following statement.
$ /usr/bin/mk-parallel-restore -h'localhost' -u'root' --database 'shantanu' --tables 'Customer' '/home/develop/pdump'

You may need to change the ownership of the folder /pdump like this...
rm -rf /pdump/
mkdir /pdump/
chmod 777 /pdump/

# in order to restore a single table for e.g. ach_routing_info use the following command
# /usr/bin/mk-parallel-restore -h'localhost' -u'shantanu' -p'xyz' --no-foreign-key-checks --database 'customer' --tables 'ach_routing_info' '/pdump'
_____

Copy the entire database from one server to another
Master:
mkdir -p /home/shantanu/today`date +%Y%m%d`
mk-parallel-dump --base-dir /home/shantanu/today`date +%Y%m%d` --databases mumbaicentral
scp -r /home/shantanu/today`date +%Y%m%d`/default/ root@199.199.199.199:/home/shantanu/

Slave on 199.199.199.199:
mk-parallel-restore /home/shantanu/default/mumbaicentral/ --database mumbaicentral

# The binary log position is dumped to a file named 00_master_data.sql in the --base-dir.

mk-loadavg

Load Avg Utility: There are times when you need to collect the server stats when the application is running too slow or doesn't work at all. You will need to look at process list, IO and VM stats, mysql processlist, etc. You can save these stats using a cron, but I need the data only when there is a trigger, for e.g. average load is more than 50%
loadavg utility from maatkit does exactly that.


1) Download the maatkit utility called load Average.
wget http://www.maatkit.org/get/mk-loadavg

2) Write a shell script that will collect all the relevant stats when the processor load is too high. for e.g.
#!/bin/bash
ps -eaf >> collected/today.txt 2>&1 &

3) Change the permission of this file to 777
chmod 777 collect-stats.sh

4) Call the program whenever there are more than 50 mysql threads running simultaneously.
perl mk-loadavg -uroot -pPassWd --watch "Status:status:Threads_running:>:50" --execute-command /home/shantanu/collect-stats.sh

http://www.maatkit.org/doc/mk-loadavg.html#OPTIONS

The server stats those are really needed to be looked at...
> statsFile.txt
ps -eaf >> statsFile.txt 2>&1 &
top -bn1 > statsFile.txt 2>&1 &
mysql -uroot -pPassWOrd -e 'show innodb status\G show full processlist\G' >> statsFile.txt 2>&1 &
vmstat 1 30 > statsFile.txt 2>&1 &
iostat -dx 1 30 > statsFile.txt 2>&1 &
mysqladmin -uroot -pPassWord ext > statsFile.txt 2>&1 &

mk-kill

# mk-kill --match-command Sleep --print --no-only-oldest
# mk-kill --match-command Sleep --kill --no-only-oldest

Print, do not kill, queries running longer than 60s:
mk-kill --busy-time 60 --print --match-command Query

Check for sleeping processes and kill them all every 10s:
mk-kill --match-command Sleep --kill --no-only-oldest --interval 10

--match-command
Common Command values are:

Query
Sleep
Binlog Dump
Connect
Delayed insert
Execute
Fetch
Init DB
Kill
Prepare
Processlist
Quit
Reset stmt
Table Dump

--match-state --ignore-state
Common State values are:

Locked
login
copy to tmp table
Copying to tmp table
Copying to tmp table on disk
Creating tmp table
executing
Reading from net
Sending data
Sorting for order
Sorting result
Table lock
Updating

--match-info --ignore-info
The Info column of the processlist shows the query that is being executed or NULL if no query is being executed.

--all
If some ignore options are specified, then every connection except ignored connections are killed.

--idle-time
Kill connections that have been idle/sleeping for longer than this time. The queries must be in Command=Sleep status. This matches a query's Time value as reported by SHOW PROCESSLIST.

--ignore-command
Ignore queries whose Command matches this Perl regex.
See --match-command.

The start-up message

I installed MySQL on my server and when I first started it, I got the following message.

This seems to be very helpful tip for the beginners.


# service mysqld start
Initializing MySQL database: WARNING: The host 'shantanuserver.com' could not be looked up with resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL daemon, mysqld, should work
normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work.
This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames
when specifying MySQL privileges !
Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h shantanuserver.com password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr ; /usr/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

require_once 'Image/Barcode.php';
$bar_code_data = $_GET['myvar'];
Image_Barcode::draw($bar_code_data, 'postnet', 'png');

The file can be called with the variable "myvar=" as shown here...
mybarcode.php?myvar=dbid123

The ‘Image_Barcode’ library supports the following barcode types:
code39, code128, ean13, int25, postnet, upca

Introduction to PEAR - Number to Words

There is a very useful Number to Words Pear extension available.

http://pear.php.net/package/Numbers_Words

If you need to print "One Hundred forty five Rupees Fifty paisa" instead of "145.50", here is the 2 lines code...

require_once('Numbers/Words.php');

printf("%s\n", Numbers_Words::tocurrency(145.50,"en_GB"));
_____

If you want the Indian Currency

Change the lang.en_GB file

'GBP' => array(array('pound', 'pounds'), array('pence', 'pence')),
To something like this....
'GBP' => array(array('Rupee', 'Rupees'), array('paisa', 'paisa')),

Mysql backup and restore

You can add the following cron to take the hourly / daily backup of your important database. For e.g. Drupal

time mysqldump -uroot -pPassWord Drupal --routines --single-transaction --master-data=2 > /backup/dumpmysql/Drupal`date +'%d-%b-%Y-%H-%M'`.sql

The following command will keep the latest 2 backups and remove all the Drupal backup files from the directory.

(ls /backup/dumpmysql/Drupal* -t | head -n 2; ls /backup/dumpmysql/Drupal*)| sort | uniq -u | xargs rm

_____

If in case Master MySQL DB crashes, you still have a few options available with you to restore data in very short time.

1) If hourly backups are available, restore DB from that backup file and then run the sql statements from relay log of slave.

mysqlbinlog /var/run/mysqld/mysqld-relay-bin.* --start-datetime="`date +'%Y-%m-%d\ %H:00:00'`" | more

2) If you have only daily backups and slave relay log is not available, you can check if binary files on master server can be used.
You can also execute the statements related only to a single table for e.g. "tickets" like this...

mysqlbinlog /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.000073 --start-datetime="`date -d"2 days ago" +'%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M:%S'`" | awk '/tickets/,/;/' | more

mysqlbinlog /var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.* --start-datetime="`date -d"3 hours ago" +'%Y-%m-%d\ %H:%M:%S'`" | awk '/( seats | tickets | ticket_details )/,/;/' | more

(replace the "more" command with mysql -hMyHost -uroot -pPassWD Drupal )

Analysing access_log

Apache access log is one of the best way to analyse if your application is working as expected or not. But there are a few changes those needs to be made to httpd.conf file so that the data can be dumped to MySQL table.

# cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf | grep LogFormat
#Old Format to be changed to the new format
#LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined
LogFormat "\"%h\" \"%l\" \"%u\" \"%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t\" \"%r\" \"%>s\" \"%b\" \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" combined

use db_Name;
CREATE TABLE `access_log` (
`ip` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`RFC` varchar(100) default NULL,
`user` varchar(100) default NULL,
`mytime` datetime default NULL,
`request` varchar(100) default NULL,
`response` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`bytes` bigint(20) NOT NULL default '0',
`referer` varchar(100) default NULL,
`browser` varchar(500) default NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `mygroup` (`ip`,`RFC`,`user`,`mytime`,`request`)
);

mysqlimport --ignore --fields-terminated-by ' ' --fields-enclosed-by '"' db_Name /var/log/httpd/access_log

Pages being accessed:
mysql> select distinct(substring_index(referer, '?', -1)) as link from access_log where (substring_index(referer, '?', -1)) like 'http%' order by link;

IP addresses accessing the application:
mysql> select ip, count(*) as cnt from access_log group by ip order by cnt desc;

_____

Once the access data is imported, you can create an error_code table to compare the response codes from access log and analyse.

CREATE TABLE `mycode` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`response` int(11) default NULL,

Page requests having error code:
mysql> select a.response, b.expl, b.type, count(*) as cnt from access_log as a inner join mycode as b on a.response = b.response where request not like '%favicon.ico%' group by response;

mysql> select a.response, a.request from access_log as a inner join mycode as b on a.response = b.response where b.type = 'error' and request not like '%favicon%' order by a.response;

The following shell script can be used to import the data to a central server.

#!/bin/sh
# The following line will change the logformat to include response time
# sed -i 's/^LogFormat.*combined$/LogFormat "\\\"%h\\\" \\\"%l\\\" \\\"%u\\\" \\\"%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t\\\" \\\"%r\\\" \\\"%>s\\\" \\\"%b\\\" \\\"%{Referer}i\\\" \\\"%{User-Agent}i\\\" \\\"%D\\\" \\\"%T\\\" \\\"%q\\\" \\\"%f\\\" \\\"%v\\\" " combined/' /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

# find database name
mydb=$(mysqlshow -uroot -ptrimax | awk '{print $2}' | egrep -v 'Databases|information_schema|mysql|test|lost\+found|freshnew1' | sed '/^$/d')

# add the database name to the end of the log

1) Change the logformat so that fields are terminated by pipe "|"
2) Create a table in mysql and load the data.
3) Upload log file to S3 and then import it to Redshift - data warehouse software.

cp /etc/apache2/apache2.conf /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.back

sed -i  's/^LogFormat.*combined$/LogFormat "%h | %l | %u | %{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t | %r | %>s | %O | %{Referer}i | %{User-Agent}i | %B | %D | %T | %q | %f | %v " combined/' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Binary analysis

The following 1 line Linux command (reformatted for ease of reading) gave me the report of update/ insert statements from binary file 999

$ mysqlbinlog /path/to/mysql-bin.000999 | \
grep -i -e "^update" -e "^insert" -e "^delete" -e "^replace" -e "^alter" | \
cut -c1-100 | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | \
sed -e "s/\t/ /g;s/\`//g;s/(.*$//;s/ set .*$//;s/ as .*$//" | sed -e "s/ where .*$//" | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

33389 update e_acc
17680 insert into r_b
17680 insert into e_rec
14332 insert into rcv_c
13543 update e_rec
10805 update loc

Search "String" from mysql files

The unix tool strings can be used against many types of files. In particular, though, you can use strings on the mysql/user.MYD file to see the username, host, and password hash.

$ cd /data/mysql/
$ strings -f */mysql/user.MYD | grep username
instance5/mysql/user.MYD: username*XXX
instance7/mysql/user.MYD: username*XXX

$ grep username */mysql/user.MYD
Binary file instance5/mysql/user.MYD matches
Binary file instance7/mysql/user.MYD matches

(note that strings only shows strings longer than 3 characters, so if your host or username is 3 characters or less, it will not show up in the output of strings. You can change this with the -n option to strings)

Query Wikipedia via console over DNS

Query Wikipedia by issuing a DNS query for a TXT record. The TXT record will also include a short URL to the complete corresponding Wikipedia entry. You can also write a little shell script like:

$ cat wikisole.sh
#!/bin/sh
dig +short txt ${1}.wp.dg.cx

and run it like
./wikisole.sh unix

were your first option ($1) will be used as search term.
You can also create a BASH function and syntax will look something like...
