Backup conventions

Hi, I'm a new user of MySQL on Linux.

I have been an Oracle DBA; and know that anyone familiar with Oracle takes
backup procedures very seriously....

Anyone have recommendations for nightly backup procedures for MySQL
(transactional) databases? The literature seems a little ambiguous on this.

I did 'turn on' the general, binary and error logs. Does anyone shut down
the MySQL daemon regularly? Anyone use mysqldump, or do folks simply use a
file system backup? We have tons of databases and tons of tables, so I'm
not really considering the lock/flush procedure on tables...

Any suggestions?

Hi All I understand that the basic principles to create a TCP/IP backup program for a remote MySQL DB are: a) Query/retrieve the schema. b) Query/retrieve each table and create inserts for each row of data.

Hi there, I keep finding myself getting inconsistent with naming conventions for things like member variables, class names etc and I just want to find something that suits me and stick to it. I am wondering if there are any naming conventions around that are deemed suitable by the general C++ community. I have googled around and I can't find much - mostly long lists of hungarian-like prefixes which is not really what I'm after.

I've a question regarding db2 (V8.1) and database backups going to a storage manager like TSM for example. As I can see in the storage manager if I backup the complete database over the TSM API (no tablespace backups) the backup images is stored as a single backup object. Later I will be able to restore the complete database from this image and I will also be able to restore single tablespaces from this backup image as long as I...

Hi. I am starting a new project with C#. I am searching for "good" coding conventions. I know that there are some coding conventions from microsoft, (but they are very extensive and not clear).

Marcello, Not a big surprise as naming conventions have a lot to do with personal prefernces. There are a lot of threads in comp.databases and the other database groups. Just do a search for "naming conventions" in the groups. In my oppinion one of the good conventions is presented by Joe Celko in "SQL Programming Style". I would suggest reading it and pick up

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
