Installation and setup root password
- Installing MariaDB Database Server On Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server
- How to Install MariaDB on Ubuntu 18.04
- The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) with Apache, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Postfix, Dovecot and ISPConfig 3.1. Edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf file and set the root password there in addition to setting the root password by mysql_secure_installation.
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 denied. So we need to run 'update'; see the command below.
See a solution at Debian 9 “Stretch” and MySQL/MariaDB root password.
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server $ sudo systemctl status mariadb $ sudo mysql_secure_installation $ sudo mysql -u root mysql -e "update user set plugin='' where user='root'; flush privileges;" $ mysql -u root -p ... Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MariaDB connection id is 12 Server version: 10.1.23-MariaDB-9+deb9u1 Raspbian 9.0 ... MariaDB [(none)]> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | mysql | | performance_schema | +--------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.02 sec) MariaDB [(none)]> exit Bye
Reset root password
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-reset-your-mysql-or-mariadb-root-password
Uninstall
sudo service mysql stop sudo apt-get --purge remove "mysql*" sudo mv /etc/mysql/ /tmp/mysql_configs/ sudo reboot
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();
Note on MariaDB it shows the current database.
MariaDB [(none)]> use mysql Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Database changed MariaDB [mysql]>
How do you deselect MySQL database?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27895328/how-do-you-deselect-mysql-database. Ans: You just select another database and USE it.
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

Create a table
Note that a database have multiple tables.
- https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/creating-database.html
- https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/creating-tables.html
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;
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;

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

- the user information will not be retained in the backup file.
- the original database name is saved in the backup file
- 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

Installation
- http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/RMySQL/
- https://db.rstudio.com/my-sql/ (more instructions)
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 (Ubuntu 14) sudo apt-get install -y libmariadb-dev (Debian Stretch) # 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] > dim(mtcars) [1] 32 13 > mtcars[1:3,] mpg cyl disp hp drat wt qsec vs am gear carb mfg model Mazda RX4 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.620 16.46 0 1 4 4 Mazda RX4 Mazda RX4 Wag 21.0 6 160 110 3.90 2.875 17.02 0 1 4 4 Mazda RX4 Wag Datsun 710 22.8 4 108 93 3.85 2.320 18.61 1 1 4 1 Datsun 710 # connect to local MySQL database (host='localhost' by default) con = dbConnect(MySQL(), "testrdb", username="testuser", password="testpass") dbWriteTable(con, 'motortrend', mtcars) dbDisconnect(con)

Install Apache HBase
Follow the Quick Start to downloaded hbase tar ball. Suppose we save the tar ball under ~/Downloads folder and extract it in the same directory. We shall edit conf/hbase-site.xml file according to their instruction. The following is my case.
$ tar xzvf hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2-bin.tar.gz $ cd hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2/ $ cat conf/hbase-site.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="configuration.xsl"?> <configuration> <property> <name>hbase.rootdir</name> <value>file:///home/brb/Downloads/hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2/hbase</value> </property> <property> <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.dataDir</name> <value>/home/brb/Downloads/hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2/zookeeper</value> </property> </configuration>
Before we follow the getting started guide to launch HBase, we shall make sure JAVA_HOME environment variable is created.
$ ls /usr/lib/java $ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64
Note that the last line may be replaced by
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/javac | sed "s:bin/javac::")
Then we can launch HBase,
$ ./bin/start-hbase.sh starting master, logging to /home/brb/Downloads/hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2/bin/../logs/hbase-brb-master-brb-P45T-A.out brb@brb-P45T-A:~/Downloads/hbase-0.98.3-hadoop2$ ./bin/hbase shell 2014-07-06 09:51:34,621 INFO [main] Configuration.deprecation: hadoop.native.lib is deprecated.
