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). In the example programs of Microsoft they use different coding conventions: private members sometimes with underscore, sometimes without; when calling a method sometimes: method(param1, param2) or method ( param1, param2) (with or without...

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 "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
