| Should I keep pg_xlog on the same disk as data if using disk snapshotting? Posted: 26 Apr 2013 06:46 PM PDT We're running on EBS volumes on EC2. We're interested in leveraging EBS snapshotting for backups. However, does this mean we'd need to ensure our pg_xlog is on the same EBS volume as our data? (I believe) the usual reasoning for separating pg_xlog onto a separate volume is for performance. However, if they are on different volumes, the snapshots may be out of sync. |

Another part of this task is to create a diagram that shows the scope and boundary of the database system I create.

Is anyone able to suggest or provide an example of how this could be done? |
| Optimizing bulk update performance in Postgresql Posted: 26 Apr 2013 05:20 PM PDT It currently takes up to 24h for us to run a large set of UPDATE statements on a database, which are of the form: UPDATE table SET field1 = constant1, field2 = constant2, ... WHERE id = constid
(We're just overwriting fields of objects identified by ID.) The tables have handfuls of indices each and no foreign key constraints. No COMMIT is made till the end. It takes 2h to import a pg_dump of the entire DB. This seems like a baseline we should reasonably target. Short of producing a custom program that somehow reconstructs a dataset for Postgresql to re-import, is there anything we can do to bring the bulk UPDATE performance closer to that of the import? (This is an area that we believe log-structured merge trees handle well, but we're wondering if there's anything we can do within Postgresql.) Some ideas: Basically there's a bunch of things to try and we're not sure what the most effective are or if we're overlooking other things. We'll be spending the next few days experimenting, but we thought we'd ask here as well. Thanks. |

| Network Databases - 2 Posted: 26 Apr 2013 03:39 PM PDT I fail to see why my previous question was closed. I merely asked whether or not there were any free/open source network (IDMS-type) databases, with the implication that, if there were, an indication of what they were would be made. You say "As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format". Why not, it's a straight question? "We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.". A simple reply would not "solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion." - it's a straight factual answer. |

More precisely, the error is thrown at the first element that should be inserted in the given table.

I'm using pgAdminIII and I used StackBuilder to install PostgreSQL 9.2.4.1 as a DB Driver.

Column B (a number) is information specific to each name in Column A. The information in Columns Z thru ZZ is deleted every night and repopulated the next day, but the names are shuffled. If Joe is in Cell Z4 today, his name also appears in Cell A4 and a number (5.55) is next to his name in Cell B4. Tomorrow, Joe's name appears in Cell Z10 when Column Z is populated via copy & paste. I need the number 5.55 to follow Joe no matter where he appears in Column Z. The numbers in Column B are manually entered and not a part of what is pasted in Column Z. (Columns C thru J contain Joe-specific information. All information in Columns K thru Y are formulas that are calculated based on what is pasted in Columns Z thru ZZ).

| Creating a partial unique constraint for MySQL Posted: 26 Apr 2013 02:08 PM PDT I have the same question as asked in a previous post: PostgreSQL multi-column unique constraint and NULL values. But the solution there is not applicable as I am using MySQL instead of PostgreSQL. My table looks like this: CREATE TABLE `my_table` ( `id` bigint(20) NOT NULL, `col1` bigint(20) NOT NULL, `col2` bigint(20) NOT NULL, `col3` bigint(20) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
I want the three columns col1, col2 and col3 to be unique. But a normal unique constraint UNIQUE KEY `unique_constraint` (`col1`,`col2`,`col3`)
still allows me to insert identical rows whose col3 is NULL. I want to forbid entries like these: 1 | 1 | 1 | NULL 2 | 1 | 1 | NULL
I was searching for a partial unique constraint in MySQL as proposed in the post above but apparently there are not supported in MySQL 5.5. Can somebody give me a hint how to solve this best in mysql, I am also hoping there will be a performant solution! Thanks from a newbie in mysql (coming from PostgreSQL)! |
| maintaining full text index on large table Posted: 26 Apr 2013 02:31 PM PDT I'm on SQL Server 2008 and have a table, for reporting purposes, with 500,000 records that will easily reach the millions. The table will employ a full text index for rapid searching on a handful of columns. As this is a reporting table and not the source transactional table, sometimes new records will be added, and other times existing records will have to be removed due to changes going on in the source table. My question is in regards to the best way to build (ongoing) the reporting table and maintain the full text index for this table. Once the full text index is added, should I: (1) leave the index alone, and delete/add records as appropriate
(2) leave the index alone, truncate the reporting table, and then insert all appropriate records
(3) other? I've come across these articles so far while researching, but best practice for this scenario is not readily apparent.

| Summation query with complex grouping criteria Posted: 26 Apr 2013 11:45 AM PDT I have a database of coded actions with this structure. {User, Date, ActionCode}
I need to generate reports based on dates and action codes, and the action codes are not clean because we have to import them from multiple sources. I can handle most of them (like the average number of times users perform ActionCode 13). But, here's what I'm having trouble with: The average number of times users perform an action that can be defined by any one of the action codes 61, 62, 700, or 701. This action can also be defined by using both action codes 84 and 85 or by using the three action codes 10, 11, and 12. Here is what I have that handles the first set of action codes: select average(cnt) from ( select count(distinct(date)) as cnt from codes where actioncode in (61, 62, 700, 701) group by user )
I use distinct date because some users code to multiple places and we get back more than one code for the action. How do I add "or they had both 84 and 85 on the same date"? |

| Why PostreSQL 9.2 does not use index scan if it can? Posted: 26 Apr 2013 11:23 AM PDT My PosgreSQL planner (9.2) does not pick index and rather choose to do seq scan. Here is my table.

Now I run the query that is supposed to use that index. cwu=# explain analyze select count(*) from web_city GROUP BY (left(name,5)); QUERY PLAN ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GroupAggregate (cost=19016.35..21188.28 rows=94677 width=10) (actual time=502.308..691.288 rows=64459 loops=1) -> Sort (cost=19016.35..19345.84 rows=131796 width=10) (actual time=502.300..660.121 rows=131796 loops=1) Sort Key: ("left"((name)::text, 5)) Sort Method: external merge Disk: 2048kB -> Seq Scan on web_city (cost=0.00..5554.45 rows=131796 width=10) (actual time=0.077..46.672 rows=131796 loops=1) Total runtime: 694.977 ms (6 rows)
It does not use it though.

| SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn: need to automatically add databases by script- T-sql or PowerShell Posted: 26 Apr 2013 11:12 AM PDT I've installed and successfully configured our SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn 2-node servers for our new "Intranet" that is coming out. I've gotten AlwaysOn working great, and our Front End servers for the Intranet will be using SharePoint 2013. The glitch is that SharePoint 2013 is configured to add databases automatically to our SQL Server 2012 back end, but NOT to AlwaysOn. In reading about this and in contacting Microsoft MSDN support, the default answer is "you must manually find, select, back-up and then add those new databases individually to get them into AlwaysOn." But wait; that can be quite a task, constantly checking the SQL Server back-end servers to see what databases were created, then having to add them into AlwaysOn, 7/24! I'm looking for a script or process that will check for new databases, back those new databases up in FULL mode, (for being added to AlwaysOn, of course) then add those databases to AlwaysOn, all automatically. Or have this run every...1-2 hours? (without user intervention) What I've come up with so far is this script that actually identifies the newly-added databases, (not yet in AlwaysOn), and then backs them up to a shared location. My next task is to find those newly-added databases and through the various processes needed, get them added to AlwaysOn. This will involve some sort of looping action, I imagine. I'm not a T-SQL/scripting guru; is there any solution or script that I might access that would do this? (add databases to AlwaysOn automatically)? Please advise, I'm sure I'm not the first person to have this issue. I have seen previous posts on various Internet Sites (including this one!) , and the solution is either incorrect, or states something like "sure, go ahead and just script that!". Thanks, but I need just a little more detail there.

| Immediate refresh materialized views (MQT) with OUTER JOIN under DB2 Posted: 26 Apr 2013 11:48 AM PDT DB2 accepts a materialized view based on an "OUTER JOIN" query, as long it doesn't refresh automatically (REFRESH IMMEDIATE). I cannot find a simple solution to get round this problem. Perhaps with (a lot of) triggers, but it isn't really nice... As example, my database is CREATE TABLE PHONEUSER (USERID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, NAME VARCHAR(30)); CREATE TABLE PHONECALL (CALLID INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, USERID INT, HOUR TIMESTAMP); INSERT INTO PHONEUSER VALUES (1, 'Olivier'); INSERT INTO PHONEUSER VALUES (2, 'Arthur'); INSERT INTO PHONECALL VALUES (1,1,CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
and I want each call of each user. If an user has never called, I want a null value for him (it has sense in my application): SELECT PU.USERID, CALLID, HOUR FROM PHONEUSER PU LEFT JOIN PHONECALL PC ON PC.USERID=PU.USERID; USERID CALLID HOUR ------ ------ ----------------------- 2 null null 1 1 2013-04-09 16:36:08.952
This query runs well, but cannot be used for an MQT with refresh immediate: CREATE TABLE CALLLIST AS (SELECT PU.USERID, CALLID, HOUR FROM PHONEUSER PU LEFT JOIN PHONECALL PC ON PC.USERID=PU.USERID) DATA INITIALLY DEFERRED REFRESH IMMEDIATE ; The fullselect specified for the materialized query table CALLLIST is not valid.

| SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 - Tempdb "Available free space" showing negative value Posted: 26 Apr 2013 06:04 PM PDT Please help as this issue is driving me nuts... Tempdb has four data files & one log file. They are all located on the same dedicated drive.
When I right click on tempdb in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to view Properties --> General...I'm seeing "Size" as ~65000 MB with "Space Available" as ~64000 MB. However, when I try to shrink the files via the GUI, I see that the "currently allocated space" hasn't changed & is still showing the initial size. This is also where the "Available free space" is shown as a negative number. The only work around I have found so far is to restart SQL Server to flush out tempdb, but I can't keep on doing this. Has anyone ever come across this & know the root cause/permanent solution for it please? Thanks in advance! |
| MySQL subqueries that use range based on values of main queries don't use indices properly Posted: 26 Apr 2013 07:04 PM PDT I think I've isolated a problem that has been affecting many of my queries lately. And would like some help to figure out a solution for this. Ok so my findings are that a normal query that runs very fast using like a couple of rows can actually use indexes improperly when used in a subquery which is based on values from the main query. Lets take an example: DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS Person; DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS CofeeBreaks; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Person ( `person_id` INT(11) AUTO_INCREMENT, `age` INT, `lastCofee` DATETIME, KEY `idkey` (`person_id`) USING BTREE, KEY `datekey` (`lastCofee`) USING BTREE ) ENGINE = MEMORY; CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS CofeeBreaks ( `id` INT(11) AUTO_INCREMENT, `cofeeBreakStart` DATETIME, `cofeeBreakEnd` DATETIME, KEY `brekIdKey`(`id`) USING BTREE ) ENGINE = MEMORY; INSERT INTO Person (age, lastCofee) VALUES (24, '2013-03-27 14:45:34'); INSERT INTO Person (age, lastCofee) VALUES (34, '2013-03-27 14:46:38'); INSERT INTO Person (age, lastCofee) VALUES (26, '2013-03-27 15:25:24'); INSERT INTO Person (age, lastCofee) VALUES (28, '2013-03-27 16:33:54'); INSERT INTO Person (age, lastCofee) VALUES (46, '2013-03-27 17:11:03'); INSERT INTO CofeeBreaks (cofeeBreakStart, cofeeBreakEnd) VALUES ('2013-03-27 15:11:03', '2013-03-27 17:25:24'); INSERT INTO CofeeBreaks (cofeeBreakStart, cofeeBreakEnd) VALUES ('2013-03-27 14:45:34', '2013-03-27 15:25:24'); INSERT INTO CofeeBreaks (cofeeBreakStart, cofeeBreakEnd) VALUES ('2013-03-27 17:11:03', '2013-03-27 17:11:03'); SELECT * FROM Person WHERE lastCofee BETWEEN '2013-03-27 15:11:03' AND '2013-03-27 17:11:03'; SELECT *, (SELECT AVG(Person.age) FROM Person WHERE Person.lastCofee BETWEEN CofeeBreaks.cofeeBreakStart AND CofeeBreaks.cofeeBreakEnd) AS averageAge FROM CofeeBreaks;
So the explain results for the first select are as follow: 1 SIMPLE Person range datekey datekey 9 1 Using where
But the second query doesn't use the index properly in the subquery and analyses more rows than necessary: id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows 1 PRIMARY CofeeBreaks ALL 3 2 DEPENDENT SUBQUERY Person ALL datekey 5
As we can see the subquery needs to analyse all rows in the person table when none of the cofeebreaks ranges surrounds all of the 5 persons. The way I've been fixing the performance issues in a very busy database is by doing a select into a temporary table and than looping the rows of that table and updating it with the aggregates that i need. This is obviously ugly code and shouldn't be built that way. But I really haven't found a way to optimize queries for this kind of subqueries and I've tried a lot of possible ways to do this without success on the optimization. Thanks in advance for any inputs. |
| MySQL, Installation process, my.ini Posted: 26 Apr 2013 05:04 PM PDT Recently i decided to install apache + php + mysql separately from each other instead using one of the packets such as wamp,xampp,zend server,etc..., So far i installed apache server with php engine, Now at mysql part i will be happy to get some answers for the questions below: - After i unzip the zip file downloaded from mysql website i have my-default.ini, File if i am not wrong it's basically a template i should copy the file, Edit the name to my.ini and take the file back to the folder my-default.ini is.
- Just for a general Knowledge, What configuration file i can edit so for example: I can rename my.ini to anotherName.ini, So that mysql server will look for file name anotherName.ini.
- Also i am looking for a good guide about my.ini configuration.
Thank you all and have a nice day. |
| Import batches of rows from Excel in parallel Posted: 26 Apr 2013 08:04 PM PDT We receive an Excel file weekly currently containing about 250k rows. The file grows by about 300 rows each week. In SSIS I've hooked up an Excel source to an OLE DB destination to import the file but it takes a long time. I've looked at using the SQL Command to specify how to select part of the sheet but I can't see how to turn this in to a parallel operation. Is it possible in SSIS to split the Excel file (by rows) and import it in parallel? |
| Moving tables to another SQL2008 database (including indexes, triggers, etc.) Posted: 26 Apr 2013 12:45 PM PDT I need to move a whole bunch (100+) of large (millions of rows) tables from one SQL2008 database to another. I originally just used the Import/Export Wizard, but all the destination tables were missing primary and foreign keys, indexes, constraints, triggers, etc. (Identity columns were also converted to plain INTs, but I think I just missed a checkbox in the wizard.) What's the right way to do this? If this were just a couple of tables, I would go back to the source, script out the table definition (with all indexes, etc), then run the index creation portions of the script on the destination. But with so many tables, this seems impractical. If there wasn't quite so much data, I could use the "Create Scripts..." wizard to script out the source, including data, but a 72m row script just doesn't seem like a good idea! |
