DECIMAL(65, 0) data size (1 reply)

February 9, 2012 - 10:10
Hey guys!

DECIMAL(65, 0) should take 29 bytes to store each value
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/precision-math-decimal-changes.html.
My math is: 65 = 7 times * 9 digits + 2 digits left; 7 times * 4 bytes + 1 byte = 29 bytes.
Well, I wanted to test that :) and made a simple test - the test follows. My question however is - what is wrong with my test? Because it seems to prove that DECIMAL(65, 0) takes more than 29 bytes actually, which I do not believe in.

Here is my test:

create table decimal_size_test (
decimal_data decimal(65,0)
); -- as simple as it could be...

delimiter //
create procedure generate_test_data(sample_data decimal(65,0), number_of_records int)
begin
declare i int default 0;
delete from decimal_size_test;
while i < number_of_records do
insert into decimal_size_test (decimal_data) values (sample_data);
set i = i + 1;
end while;
end //
delimiter ;

call generate_test_data(1, 100000);
select table_name, data_length from information_schema.tables where table_name = 'decimal_size_test';

Speaking English, I try to add exactly 100 000 records to a simple table where only one column exists, and this column is DECIMAL(65, 0). No PK, no index, nothing except this simple column. Value being added = 1. Now, I select the data_length from information_schema.tables for this table - it is about 6 832 128, instead of 29 * 100 000 = 2 900 000 as I originally expected.

But that's not it. If I add other values, not 1, but, let's say 78695886597596 - data_length will be 6 307 840. And if I make this column a PK, data_length is much less in this case - 5 783 552.

To make this test more representative, I decided to use a table like this:

create table decimal_size_test2 (
id int,
decimal_data decimal(65, 0),
primary key (id)
);

and populate it with 100 000 rows with decimal_data set to NULL for every row. This table size (data_length) is 2 637 824 bytes. Okay. Now:

update decimal_size_test2 set decimal_data = 1 where decimal_data is null;

And the new table size is 8 929 280. I.e. putting 1 into 100 000 rows added 6 291 456 bytes. I.e. around the same as in the very first test.

So, the questions are: why the data_length is more than expected, and why the values are different each time?

Problem with server &quot;freezing&quot; (1 reply)

February 9, 2012 - 01:53
I have a problem with a MySql server causing it to freeze all the time. In phpMyAdmin when this happens I can see in "Show Processlist" are lots of processes for User "unauthenticated user" with Command "connect" and State "reading from net".

The database is using InnoDB but I also use one table running MyISAM to be able to perform full text search. The server has about 4GB memory, less than 500MB in use.

I have been using the slow Query Log from MySql to find the queries not using indexes. I also think I need to do some changes / tweaking on the server variables. I really could use some help here and therefore I'm posting both SHOW GLOBAL STATUS and SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES here and maybe you can give me some ideas how I should set the variables?

How to improve the join performance on 15 tables (4 replies)

February 4, 2012 - 12:06
HI,

I have the nearly 15 master tables, all the tables stores the employee related master data like department, designation, grade, location, shift, bank, blood group etc..

I created view called employee details using these tables with JOIN(INNER and LEFT JOINS) this view selects the 95 columns value from these tables.

When i access the view it will take the more time to return the result set.

Is there any optimization ?

join on same table (3 replies)

February 2, 2012 - 03:49
Hello,

I have a table with 3 million records. The DDL is :

==========================================================
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `TimeRegistrations` (
`Id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`RegistreeId` int(11) NOT NULL,
`StartDateTime` datetime NOT NULL,
`EndDateTime` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`Id`),
KEY `FK_TR_RegistreeId` (`RegistreeId`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=0;
==========================================================

I want to check if there is an overlap in timeregistrations with the following sql ===============================
select a.*
from TimeRegistrations as a join TimeRegistrations as b on a.Id <> b.Id and b.StartDateTime < a.EndDateTime and b.EndDateTime > a.StartDateTime and a.RegistreeId = b.RegistreeId
order by a.RegistreeId, a.StartDateTime
================================

This query takes about 1 hour and if I also put indices on StartDateTime and EndDateTime the query still takes 15 minutes.

Is this normal, how can I make a significant boost? Is this even posiible?

Thanks beforehand and greetz

Inspecting queries currently being executed in MySQL? (2 replies)

January 30, 2012 - 10:22
Hi Guys,

Is there a way to check what queries are currently being executed in MySQL?
I am interested in finding out simultaneous execution of queries. This includes the queries that are partially executed and waiting for I/O, or almost finished but waiting for a commit. However, this does not include queries that have not started yet.
I look forward to your reply.

Worker-per-connection vs. Worker-per-request? (3 replies)

January 30, 2012 - 05:32
Hi Guys,

Does MySQL follow a Worker-per-connection architecture or Worker-per-request architecture?

1. Worker-per-connection architecture: In this architecture there is a one-to-one mapping between database server connections and database server workers. A worker is created once a connection is established and is responsible for servicing all requests from that connection.
2. Worker-per-request architecture: In this architecture there is one queue that is used to queue all database server requests from all connections. A worker dequeues a request from the request queue, processes the request and then goes back to process the next available request in the queue or block on an idle queue.

Many thanks.

ENUM vs TINYINT for mutually exclusive values (2 replies)

January 29, 2012 - 11:33
I am considering using ENUM over TINYINT(1) as a datatype for a column that stores mutually exclusive values.

The column can have integer values like 1,2,3,4,5,6,etc., up to about 20. Each of these values stand for something (non-numerical) that is interpreted elsewhere in my application. Both datatypes, according to the manual, take only 1 byte per character with no overhead unless there are more than 255 members to the ENUM. ENUM seems store a value like "Mystring" as 1, but allow it to be presented as "Mystring" in the database fields.

Are there any costs here that I am not considering in using ENUM over TINYINT(1)? Please let me know if I might encounter problems later on taking this approach. I plan to perform many calculations on these fields, so cpu overhead matters as well.

Union in sub query and Left join vs. for each union left join (1 reply)

January 28, 2012 - 04:48
Hello all,

which statement has a better performance

SELECT a.*, b.c_text
(
SELECT * FROM t_type_1 WHERE ....
UNION
SELECT * FROM t_type_2 WHERE ....
) a LEFT JOIN t_catalog b ON a.n_catalog_id = b.n_id

vs.

SELECT *, b.c_text
FROM t_type_1 a, LEFT JOIN t_catalog b ON a.n_catalog_id = b.n_id
WHERE ....

UNION
SELECT *, b.c_text
FROM t_type_2 a, LEFT JOIN t_catalog b ON a.n_catalog_id = b.n_id

union distinct vs or query (with order by and range) (1 reply)

January 27, 2012 - 13:28
Hi,

I have a table with a ANNOID, LOGINID, TYPE_NUM, and varchar TITLE.

I want to do a query that returns a range of annoids sorted by TITLE. That is, I might like the range from 1000 to 2000 (when sorting by TITLE) for a given query. However, the effective search is where LOGINID = :loginid OR TYPE_NUM = 1 OR TYPE_NUM = 2 typically, with ORDER BY TITLE.

I've been told that ORs are typically hard for the optimizer, even with best indices, and to therefore split into 3 queries and do a union distinct on the annoids.

That worked before, when I didn't have a huge result set because there was another limitation (by PAGENUM), and then I sorted the postings in the client. However, now the result set can be very big, (the entire forum), and I use paging, so I make a query with a range and and order by on TITLE.

What is my best strategy?

perfoemance difference in structured select vs long orred select (1 reply)

January 25, 2012 - 03:53
Hi All,
I have a question regarding a data mining application I'm developing.
I have a table of objects. Each object has multiple routes (or trajectories). Each route has multiple points (e.g. x. y. t). In short, my tables look like:
objects -> routes -> data points.

Here's the problem. I'd like to retrieve all the points for a single object. The simple SQL command will have the form of structured select:
select * from points_talble where
points_talble.route_id in (select route_id from routes_table where object_id = n));
This code works fine, but it's slow.

The other way of retrieving the points is in two steps:
1. retrive all route IDs from routes table to a vector.
2. retrive all points from points_table adding a long orred select:
select * from points_talble where route_id=1 ot route_id=2 or... (you get the point)

While the first (structured select) is simpler to implement, it's much slower then the 2nd, long orred select, by a factor of 100 times, give or take.

Note that both methods are yeilding the same results.
My only question is the huge performance difference.

Can anyone please provide an explanation?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Omer.

Mysql Table structure and storage engine for millions of records (1 reply)

January 22, 2012 - 16:50
Hello guys, are you ok?

I have to treat some tables, which will be stored millions of records (72mi approximated). The table structure is:

field ID (int - primary key)
field DID (int - index)
field CID (int)

This records will be queried always by the primary key, and i'm afraid if this can be slow. i know that the primary key queries are always the better option, but my queries will make some restrictions (like "WHERE id=x && did=y").

I've choose the InnoDB for my storage engine, because the table is highly dynamic, so record will be inserted and deleted (never updated) about 1 seconds. I imagine that the mysql processor will be very high in this operation, because de table access will very higly to.

The big question is: is this the best alternative for this structure of data? Can i use some alternative of storage engine for data?

mysqld.exe consumption extremely high (1 reply)

January 19, 2012 - 20:55
Hi Guys
Not sure if this is in the right place but I hope so. Recently I had a client get in some external developers to re code the front of their website however since this has happened I have seen a HUGE increase in the memory consumption for mysqld.exe on their server from 190,000K (when they still used the old code) to 1,082,000K with the new code.

The site doesn't have much new functionality but they have stopped using the PHP classes for DB Connections we have written and are using the standard php mysql connection functions instead on every page.
They have also started using TRIGGERS in the database which is something that wasn't done in the previous version of the site.

What is the best way to track down the cause of this sudden increase in memory usage? It is a windows 2003 server running IIS6, mysql 5.1 and PHP

The memory usage is now so high I am having to manually restart the mysql service to bring it back to an acceptable level as it is making the server unresponsive.

Thanks
