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

Manual/Documentation

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman

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';

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

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

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

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
}

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

Default database location

On debian, it is /var/lib/mysql.

How to Exclude Tables from MySQL Exports Using mysqldump

https://www.howtogeekpro.com/160/how-to-exclude-tables-from-mysql-exports-using-mysqldump/

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:
