Installation issues

Fail to start

On Ubuntu 12.04, we can use 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

InnoDB vs MyISAM

The default is InnoDB.

Under Shell

Installation and setup root password

Debian 9 (Stretch) package now ships with the UNIX_SOCKET authentication plugin enabled and you are no longer asked to set a root password when installing the package. Even when setting a root password via the mysql_secure_installation script you are still unable to log in.

See a solution at Debian 9 “Stretch” and MySQL/MariaDB root password. 

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
$ sudo mysql -u root mysql -e "update user set plugin='' where user='root'; flush privileges;"

How do I turn off the mysql password validation?

Normally a password as short as 3 characters is enough for the root user.

Create a new user account to grant access to a database

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mysql-user-creation/

NOTE: please be mindful when creating a user name. There is no protection against creating an old user's name. If you accidentally create a same user name as say mediawiki DB user, then mediawiki will not be working. 

$ mysql -u root -p
OR
$ mysql -u root -h myserver-sever.com -p

Create a new mysql database called demo; 

mysql> CREATE DATABASE testdb;

Create a new user called user1 for database demo 

mysql> GRANT ALL ON testdb.* TO user1@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';

If we quit mysql and log in again using the new account, the 'SHOW DATABASES' will only show databases that the new account can access 

mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database           |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| testdb             |
+--------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

User user1 can connect to mysql server demo database using following command: 

$ mysql -u user1 -p testdb
OR
$ mysql -u user1 -h mysql.server.com -p testdb

Show all users

SELECT User, Host, Password FROM mysql.user; 

SELECT DISTINCT User FROM mysql.user;

Show the privileges of a user

mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR 'user1'@'localhost';
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Grants for user1@localhost                                                                                   |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'user1'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY PASSWORD '*FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF' |
| GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `testdb`.* TO 'user1'@'localhost'                                                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Another way is through phpMyAdmin. Click on 'Databases' and in the Action column click 'Check Privileges' in the corresponding row of the desired database.

Remove an account

DROP USER 'jeffrey'@'localhost';

Remove a database

mysql> DROP DATABASE db_name;
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;

Show the current user

mysql> SELECT USER();

Show the current database

mysql> SELECT DATABASE();

Version vs Distrib number of MySQL

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8645184/version-vs-distrib-number-of-mysql

  • Ver refers to the version of the mysql command line client - what you are envoking by typing 'mysql'
  • Distrib refers to the mysql server version your client was built with. This is not to be confused with the mysql server you are connected to, which can be obtained with SELECT VERSION();

On Ubuntu 14.04 

$ mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.58, for debian-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 6.3

$ mysql -u root -p -e 'select version()'
Enter password: 
+-------------------------+
| version()               |
+-------------------------+
| 5.5.58-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 |
+-------------------------+

On Docker's MySQL 

# mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.20, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

# mysql --user=root --password=$MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD -e 'select version()'
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.

MYSQL commands

Find out about your MySQL version and all installed plugins: 

mysql> select version();
mysql> show plugins;

Executing SQL Statements from a Text File

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-batch-commands.html 

$ mysql db_name

$ mysql -h host -u user -p db_name # db_name is not a password !

$ mysql -h host -u user -pPASSWORD db_name # no space after "-p"

$ mysql db_name < text_file # text_file that contains the statements you wish to execute/Batch mode
$ mysql db_name < text_file > output.txt
mysql> source file_name

Create a table

Note that a database have multiple tables. 

mysql> CREATE DATABASE testdb;
mysql> USE testdb
mysql> CREATE TABLE pet (name VARCHAR(20), owner VARCHAR(20),
    -> species VARCHAR(20), sex CHAR(1), birth DATE, death DATE);

OR put it in a text file 

mysql> CREATE TABLE pet
{
    name VARCHAR(20),
    owner VARCHAR(20),
    species VARCHAR(20), 
    sex CHAR(1), 
    birth DATE, 
    death DATE
}

Show all tables. 

mysql> SHOW TABLES;

Verify your table 

mysql> DESCRIBE pet;

Loading data into a table

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/loading-tables.html 

mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet;

OR using the mysqlimport utility from the shell 

$ mysqlimport --local pet /path/pet.txt

You could add a new record using an INSERT statement like this: 

mysql> INSERT INTO pet
    -> VALUES ('Puffball','Diane','hamster','f','1999-03-30',NULL);

Retrieve data

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/retrieving-data.html General form 

SELECT what_to_select
FROM which_table
WHERE conditions_to_satisfy;

Some examples 

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet;

mysql> UPDATE pet SET birth = '1989-08-31' WHERE name = 'Bowser';

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE name = 'Bowser';

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE birth >= '1998-1-1';

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE species = 'dog' AND sex = 'f';

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE (species = 'cat' AND sex = 'm')
    -> OR (species = 'dog' AND sex = 'f');

mysql> SELECT name, birth FROM pet;

mysql> SELECT DISTINCT owner FROM pet;

mysql> SELECT name, birth FROM pet ORDER BY birth;

mysql> SELECT name, birth FROM pet ORDER BY birth DESC;  # To sort in reverse (descending) order

mysql> SELECT name, birth FROM pet WHERE MONTH(birth) = 5;

Pattern match 

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE name LIKE 'b%'; # find names beginning with b, case-insensitive

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE name LIKE '%fy'; # find names ending with fy:

mysql> SELECT * FROM pet WHERE name LIKE '%w%'; # find names containing a w:

Count rows 

mysql> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM pet;

mysql> SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT owner) FROM pet;

mysql> SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM pet GROUP BY owner;

Retrieve information from multiple tables https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/multiple-tables.html 

# suppose we have two tables event & score; each has a column called event_id
# score table has columns: name, event_id, score
# event table has columns: event_id, date, type
mysql> SELECT student_id, date, score, type 
    -> FROM event, score
    -> WHERE date = "1999-09-20"
    -> AND event.event_id = score.event_id;

Mysql list tables and sizes - order by size

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14569940/mysql-list-tables-and-sizes-order-by-size 

SELECT TABLE_NAME, table_rows, data_length, index_length, 
    round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024),2) "Size in MB"
    FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = "schema_name"
    ORDER BY (data_length + index_length) DESC;

Note: replace "schema_name" with your database name.

Find first and last record from mysql table

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2735395/how-to-find-first-and-last-record-from-mysql-table 

# To get the first record:
select col1 from tab1 order by col1 asc limit 1;   

# To get the last record:
select col1 from tab1 order by col1 desc  limit 1;

Write/save a table/query to a text file

# Method 1. mysql. Get a permission denied error 
$ mysql -u root -p
> SELECT * FROM tbl_name INTO OUTFILE '/tmp/orders.txt';

# Method 2. shell. Simple solution; does not need to change FILE privileges.
# https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9462416/shell-one-line-query
mysql -u root -pmy_password -h ip_add --port=13306 -D DATABASENAME -e "SELECT * FROM tbl_name;" > output.txt

Create a database 'demo' and a table 'employee'

http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/10/mysql-tutorial-basics/ 

mysql -u guest -p demo
show databases;
use demo;
show tables;
create table employee .............;
desc employee;
insert into employee .............;
select * from employee;

Default database location

On Debian/Ubuntu, it is /var/lib/mysql. 

$ mysql -uroot -p -e 'SHOW VARIABLES WHERE Variable_Name = "datadir"'

OR 

mysql> select @@datadir;

Change data location

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1795176/how-to-change-mysql-data-directory

  1. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
  2. sudo cp -R -p /var/lib/mysql /newpath
  3. sudo gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  4. Look for the entry for datadir, and change the path (which should be /var/lib/mysql) to the new data directory.
  5. sudo gedit /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
  6. Look for lines beginning with /var/lib/mysql. Change /var/lib/mysql in the lines with the new path.
  7. sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
  8. sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

How to backup/export and load/import a single database and/or table from a MySQL database

# Export
$ mysqldump -u USERNAME --password="PW" DB_NAME > sql_backup_file # Or use 'backup.sql' to be clear

# Import
# Method 1
$ mysql -u UserName -p Password -h Hostname DB_NAME < sql_backup_file
# Method 2
$ mysqlimport -u UserName -p Password sql_backup_file

Note that

  1. the back up file is a text file.
  2. the user information will not be retained in the backup file.
  3. the original database name is saved in the backup file
  4. the database name DB_NAME in importing is required. The database name does not to be the same as the original. However the database DB_NAME has to be created beforehand (mysql> CREATE DATABASE DB_NAME2). If the database has not existed or we omit the DB_NAME in importing, we will get an error
ERROR 1046 (3D000) at line 22: No database selected

# or
ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'testdb'

Move the MySQL data directory

Use through R

Examples from r-bloggers

Installation

Ubuntu/Debian

First, log in using root. 

install.packages("DBI")

Go to shell and 

# sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql (this line seems not necessary)
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev       
# R
# install.packages("RMySQL")

Windows

Check my note with complete screenshots at File:Install MySQL on Windows.pdf.

Open and close connection: dbConnect/dbDisconnect

con <- dbConnect(MySQL(), user="me", password="nuts2u", dbname="my_db", host="localhost")
on.exit(dbDisconnect(con))

dbListTables(con)
head(dbReadTable(con, "recentchanges"))

List tables and fields: dbListTables and dbListFields

dbListTables(mydb)
dbListFields(mydb, 'some_table')

Read and write entire tables: dbReadTable and dbWriteTable

We can create tables in the database using R dataframes. 

df = dbReadTable(con, 'motortrend')
dbWriteTable(mydb, name='table_name', value=data.frame.name)

Query: dbGetQuery and dbSendQuery

You can process query results row by row, in blocks or all at once. The highly useful function dbGetQuery(con, sql) returns all query results as a data frame. With dbSendQuery, you can get all or partial results with fetch. 

con <- dbConnect(MySQL(), user="network_portal", password="monkey2us", dbname=db.name, host="localhost")
rs <- dbSendQuery(con, "select name from genes limit 10;") # results in in mysql
data <- fetch(rs, n=10) # return result to R as a data frame; use n=-1 to retrieve all pending records.
huh <- dbHasCompleted(rs)
dbClearResult(rs)
dbDisconnect(con)

Aggregate and Sort

df = dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT mfg, avg(hp) AS meanHP FROM motortrend GROUP BY mfg ORDER BY meanHP DESC")
df = dbGetQuery(con, "SELECT cyl as cylinders, avg(hp) as meanHP FROM motortrend GROUP by cyl ORDER BY cyl")

dbApply()

sql = "SELECT cyl, hp FROM motortrend ORDER BY cyl"
rs = dbSendQuery(con, sql)
dbApply(rs, INDEX='cyl', FUN=function(x, grp) quantile(x$hp))

Retrieving AUTO_INCREMENT IDs

create.network <- function(species.id, network.name, data.source, description) {
  
  con <- dbConnect(MySQL(),
           user="super_schmuck", password="nuts2u",
           dbname="my_db", host="localhost")
  on.exit(dbDisconnect(con))

  sql <- sprintf("insert into networks
                  (species_id, name, data_source, description, created_at)
                  values (%d, '%s', '%s', '%s', NOW());",
                 species.id, network.name, data.source, description)
  rs <- dbSendQuery(con, sql)
  dbClearResult(rs)

  id <- dbGetQuery(con, "select last_insert_id();")[1,1]

  return(id)
}

Full example from Jeffrey Breen

http://www.r-bloggers.com/slides-%E2%80%9Caccessing-databases-from-r%E2%80%9D-rstats/

First, create new database & user in MySQL: 

mysql> create database testrdb;
mysql> grant all privileges on testrdb.* to 'testuser'@'localhost' identified by 'testpass';
mysql> flush privileges;

In R, load the “mtcars” data.frame, clean it up, and write it to a new “motortrend” table: 

library(stringr)
library(RMySQL)
 
data(mtcars)
 
# car name is data.frame's rownames. Let's split into manufacturer and model columns:
mtcars$mfg = str_split_fixed(rownames(mtcars), ' ', 2)[,1]
mtcars$mfg[mtcars$mfg=='Merc'] = 'Mercedes'
mtcars$model = str_split_fixed(rownames(mtcars), ' ', 2)[,2]
 
# connect to local MySQL database (host='localhost' by default)
con = dbConnect("MySQL", "testrdb", username="testuser", password="testpass")
 
dbWriteTable(con, 'motortrend', mtcars)
 
dbDisconnect(con)

And check the database from mysql 

mli@PhenomIIx6:~$ mysql -u testuser -p
Enter password:
