server went away

• can be triggered by max_packet_size

stop query

show processlist
kill <id of query>

run query in script

RES=`mysql -qsBe "select foo from fu.bar where tap ='beer'" -N`

where did mysql_config_editor go?

https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/mysql-56-security-through-complacency explains how no security is better than some security

high memory usage

fix logrotate on debian

echo "SET PASSWORD FOR 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('`grep password /etc/mysql/debian.cnf | head -n 1 | awk -F= '{ gsub(/[ \t]+/, "", $2); print $2 }'`');" | mysql -u root -p

insert select

 insert into bar(c,d) select concat ("foo ",w) as  c, concat("bar ",w) as d from foo;

slow imports

https://support.tigertech.net/mysql-large-inserts

speed up import from dump

SET autocommit=0;
SET unique_checks=0;
SET foreign_key_checks=0;

and after import

COMMIT;
SET autocommit=1;
SET unique_checks=1;
SET foreign_key_checks=1;

and turn them back on

and try mysqldump --extended-insert (this seems to be default now, and part of --opt)

pagination in CLI

show tables;\P less

show mysql configuration

show variables

show performance

show innodb status

restore single table from backup

{

mysql error codes

separate lines in mysqldump

--extended-insert=FALSE --complete-insert=TRUE 

Fix privileges

mysql_fix_privilege_tables

mysqldump: out of memory

mysqldump -q

clean up mysql-bin

purge logs;
purge binary logs to 'mysql-bin.xxxyy';

mysqldump: MySQL server has gone away (2006)

seems related to max_allowed_packet File:Example.jpg

ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 0

Could be /etc/hosts.allow

error 1146 Table 'performance_schema.session_variables' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "collation_database"

Run mysql_upgrade and restart mysqld

show table sizes

SELECT table_schema as `Database`, table_name AS `Table`, round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) `Size in MB`  FROM information_schema.TABLES  ORDER BY (data_length + index_length) DESC;

Tips & Tricks

save password

 mysql_config_editor set --host=localhost --user=root --password

(due to serious crappiness you might have to quote the password)

On newer versions this no longer works, and you have to fall back to using ~/.my.cnf

[client]
user=root
password=s3cr3t

set pager

pager less;

and to disable it again:

nopager;
