( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

BTW, some thoughts about mySQL.

There are some really annoying details:

If you use InnoDB as engine (you should), mySQL generates a ibdata file.

If you delete records/tables, this file does not shrink.

It's getting bigger and bigger and the only way to manage this is to dump the database, drop and recreate it and then loading the dump again.

Ok, one can have a ibdata file for each table. This makes live a little bit easier.

The dump is plain SQL - a text file with tons of INSERT statements.

Loading this dump can last very, very long.

Same thing with backup/recovery.

And you must explicitly backup your grants and stored procedures.

And as far as i know, the only way to force reindexing is the procedure described above.

Many caveats.

And it is a mess to figure out if this all did really work as expected.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
