Mysql

Introduction

In the structure of MySQL, there are databases, tables, records, and fields. Databases hold together tables, tables hold together records, records hold together fields, which contain the actual information.

Mysql

Useful commands

• Create user and grant accsess.

mysql> GRANT [privileges] ON database.* TO '[user]'@'[host]' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]';
mysql> grant all privileges on puppetdb.* to puppet@'localhost' identified by 'puppet';FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

• Change root password.

mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

• Change password.

use mysql;SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('passwordhere');
update mysql.user set password = password() where user = 'username';

mysql> describe table;           # Show information about table.
mysql> show create table table   # Show more information about table.

• Put some data into a table.

mysql> INSERT INTO testtable (id,data) VALUES ('66','The beast whas here');

• Change id value 17 to 18 in testtable

mysql> UPDATE testtable set id=18 where id=17 ;

• Show master/slave status.

mysql> show master status \G

• Show master/slave status.

mysql> show slave status \G

• Show permission on database.

mysql> show grants for onzone@localhost;
mysql> select user,host from mysql.user;

• Who has access from which machine.

use mysql;SELECT host,user FROM user;
select user,host from mysql.user;

• Has a user rights.

SELECT host,user,select_priv,insert_priv FROM user;
show grants for onzone@'192.168.180.181';

• Has a user rights on a particular database.

SELECT host,db,user,select_priv,insert_priv FROM db;

• Import sql script to database.

mysql ongamenetwork < /tmp/ongamenetwork.new.sql

• Delete logs.

# List logs.
show master logs;
# Delete oldest logs.
purge master logs to 'logfil';

• See maxconnections in runtime.

show variables like '%connect

• What is happening in database.

mysql> show processlist;

• database usage

mysql> show table status;

Reset mysql root password

Stop the MySql server.
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
mysql -h localhost
use mysql
update user set password = password('.......') where user = 'root' and host='localhost';
quit
Restart the server and run as normal.

USAGE		- User has no privileges
GRANT OPTION	- Allows users to grant privileges

auto submit password

.my.cnf

[client]
user=user_name
pass=password 

replication master slave

Setting the Replication Master Configuration

/etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
log-bin=mysql-bin
server-id=1

To get the master status information, follow these steps:
Start the command line client and flush all tables and block write statements by executing the FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK statement:
mysql> FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK;
Leave the client from which you issued the FLUSH TABLES statement running so that the read lock remains in effect. If you exit the client, the lock is released.

mysql> SHOW MASTER STATUS;
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| File             | Position | Binlog_Do_DB | Binlog_Ignore_DB |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
| mysql-bin.000001 |       98 |              |                  |
+------------------+----------+--------------+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

The File column shows the name of the log and Position shows the offset within the file. In this example, the binary log file is mysql-bin.000001 and the offset is 98. Record these values. You need them later when you are setting up the slave. They represent the replication coordinates at which the slave should begin processing new updates from the master.

If the master has been running previously without binary logging enabled, the log name and position values displayed by SHOW MASTER STATUS or mysqldump --master-data will be empty. In that case, the values that you need to use later when specifying the slave's log file and position are the empty string () and 4.

mysqldump --all-databases --lock-all-tables >/tmp/dbdump.db

mysql> GRANT REPLICATION SLAVE ON *.* TO 'replication'@'192.168.7.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'slavepass';

Setting the Replication Slave Configuration

/etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
server-id=2

Import the dump file:

shell> mysql < /tmp/dbdump.db

mysql> CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_HOST='192.168.7.30', MASTER_USER='replication', MASTER_PASSWORD='slavepass', MASTER_LOG_FILE='mysql-bin.000001',MASTER_LOG_POS=98;

Start the slave threads:

mysql> START SLAVE;

Once a slave is replicating, you can find in its data directory one file named master.info and another named relay-log.info.

Test to verify functionality

the existence of these three lines verifies that the slave is functioning well.

SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
Slave_IO_Running: Yes
Slave_SQL_Running: Yes
Seconds_Behind_Master: 0

Usage of database files/size

This query will output Data_length and Index_length for each table in your database. If you add them all together you can get the size used for your particular database.

show table status;
