Execute Query based on database version MySQL - mysql

I want to execute the queries based on Database version, this is my requirement
If the MySQL database version is 5.6 i want to alter the table column and add full text otherwise if version is less i don't want to alter the table.
The reason behind is i want to do LIKE %Something% against the column and the table is created using INNODB schema, as am not an expert in MySQL DB i googled for LIKE query performance for 2M+ records. Most of them are against using LIKE with double %. And also this InnoDB Fulltext support. So if i make the query to be executed based on DB version most of the users will get the benefit but who ever in the older version of DB(not willing to update) should adjust with performance.
Thanks in advance.

You can do this using a stored procedure like this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE
PROCEDURE `test`.`temp`()
BEGIN
declare version1 varchar(10);
set version1 = (select version());
if(version1 like '5.6%') then
---- your alter query here
end if;
END$$
DELIMITER ;

Aurora MySQL - Slow CREATE TABLE statement in Stored Proc

We have been struggling with slow (never finishing) running stored procedures. We have been focusing on a particular CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ... from table with some joins.
When we run this query on it's own it completes consistently in about 14 seconds. When it is run as part of the Stored Proc it wont complete even after hours.
What we found if we take all the code in the stored proc and just run it as a normal SQL script then it is also slow. Further up in the stored proc tables are created from base data and prepared to be used by the Stored Proc.
We are running 5.7.mysql_aurora.2.07.2 and tested on 5.7.mysql_aurora.2.07.1 as well. I suspect we need to tune some database settings but I lack the experience in InnoDB and Aurora.
We migrated from MyISAM into Aurora where we now use InnoDB and any any guidance on what could be the cause of this would be much appreciated.
EDIT:
I did try to change the statements from CREATE TABLE ... SELECT ... from table to a CREATE TABLE followed by INSERT INTO which made no difference.
What seems to have worked is to use
create table A (PRIMARY KEY (name)) select ... for all tables created instead of first creating the table and using an ALTER statement to add the key.
I am stumped as to why this mode it work???
This sounds like a table locking issue. Typically
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT ... FROM table_name ...
results in the source table (table_name) needing locking.
Try breaking apart the CREATE and the SELECT, i.e.
CREATE TABLE table_name ...;
INSERT INTO table_name SELECT ...;

SQL error when I try to ALTER TABLE in a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure designed to generate a new, 'derived' table. In this procedure I then want to add a column using ALTER TABLE. However, despite an almost identical stored procedure working fine, and despite being able to add this manually as a stored procedure to the database using MySQL Workbench, when I pass the code to the server using SOURCE (i.e. SOURCE workload.sql), I get an error 1146 (42502) 'Table 'workload._convenor_workload' doesn't exist.' (I'm doing this in Emacs as part of a org-babel block, but this is essentially just passing raw SQL to the server.)
As background, I'm in the process of migrating SQL code from a setting where I was running it raw to create my final database to one where I'd like this code to be called via triggers.
Setup: mysql Ver 8.0.16 for macos10.14 on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
I've tried rewriting this as a prepared statement, was unsuccessful, and have been scouring Stack Overflow. This is my first MySQL project and my reading of the documentation suggests that ALTER TABLE is a perfectly legal thing to do in a stored procedure. It's likely that I'm making a schoolboy error somewhere but at the moment I'm banging my head.
Elsewhere in my SQL, this code works in a stored procedure (ALTER TABLE function does not throw an error):
CREATE TABLE _assessment_allocations AS SELECT Assessment_ID,
IFNULL(SUM(_total_first_marking_hours),0) AS _total_first_marking_hours_sum,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT _total_first_marking_hours_needed) AS _total_first_marking_hours_needed,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT Prog_ID) AS prog_id
FROM
_marking_workload
GROUP BY Prog_ID, Assessment_ID;
ALTER TABLE _assessment_allocations
ADD COLUMN _assessment_variance DECIMAL(5,2);
However, the code that throws the error is this (specifically, the ALTER TABLE function; I've added the stored procedure code in case this is helpful). Note that this code does not throw an error when ingested by MySQL outside a stored procedure:
USE `workload`;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `module_administration_convenor`()
-- Begin by selecting elements of the ~modules~ table
CREATE TABLE `_convenor_workload` AS
SELECT Modules.Module_Code,
Modules.Module_Name,
Modules.Module_Convenor_ID,
Modules.Module_Convenor_Share,
Modules.Student_Tally,
Modules.Additional_Hours,
Modules.Convening_Notes,
Modules.Active_Status
FROM modules;
-- Add a 'Convenor' column
ALTER TABLE `_convenor_workload` ADD COLUMN `Name` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'Convenor';
\* Other stuff *\
END$$
DELIMITER ;
My aim is to avoid throwing this error. I'd like to get this stored procedure actually stored! (Just like the previous stored procedure that does much the same and does not throw an error.) I'm aware that there are some back-tick and style differences between the working and non-working code, but I'm guessing these aren't super important.
As I said, I have a strong suspicion that I'm overlooking something obvious here...
As mentioned by Solarflare in the comments, you are missing a begin so the alter table is executing as a separate action. If you wrap it with begin and end then it treats all the code as the stored procedure.
USE `workload`;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`#`localhost` PROCEDURE `module_administration_convenor`()
Begin
-- Begin by selecting elements of the ~modules~ table
CREATE TABLE `_convenor_workload` AS
SELECT Modules.Module_Code,
Modules.Module_Name,
Modules.Module_Convenor_ID,
Modules.Module_Convenor_Share,
Modules.Student_Tally,
Modules.Additional_Hours,
Modules.Convening_Notes,
Modules.Active_Status
FROM modules;
-- Add a 'Convenor' column
ALTER TABLE `_convenor_workload` ADD COLUMN `Name` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT 'Convenor';
END

Alter a where clause on a update through a trigger or similar

I'm currently building a replication database (for reporting from) for an already existing database and we are wanting to obfuscate/hash certain columns. Both are on AWS RDS platform with the replication set up as a 'read replica' of the source.
One of the issues with using RDS Replication I've found is you cannot specify which columns to ignore (given that RDS read replicas are supposed to be 1:1 this isn't surprising and I fully understand I'm doing something very niche)
The solution to this problem was to set up triggers on updates/inserts to alter these values, like so:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER clients_insert_obfuscate
BEFORE INSERT ON clients
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.access_token = NULL, NEW.user_token_ttl = 0;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
However one of the values we want to alter is a primary key (the PKs on this table are used as coupon code redemption numbers).
Which leads me to my question - is there anyway of altering the where clause in a update before its executed from within mysql? So on the replica databse, instead of matching against the unhashed code its matching against the hashed code?
So far I have this:
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER insert_obfuscate
BEFORE INSERT ON codes
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.code = SHA2(NEW.code, 256);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER update_obfuscate
BEFORE UPDATE ON codes
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SET NEW.code = SHA2(NEW.code, 256);
END$$
DELIMITER ;
So the insert is fine - but the update trigger is only looking at the params to update - not the where clause.
I understand a trigger might not be the right route to take on this but I'm struggling to find anything else.
Is there anyway of doing this or do I need to look at changing the schema? I would prefer not to change the schema on a production DB though.
Thanks

How to sync values in a table column in mysql trigger

I need to sync values in a table column in mysql trigger while having the same value in another column. Here is an example of my table:
id___MP____sweek
1____2_____1
2____2_____1
3____1_____2
4____1_____2
5____3_____3
6____3_____3
If a user changes, for example, MP in the first row (id=1) from 2 to 4, then the value of MP with the same sweek has to be changed (e.g., id=2, MP becomes also 4).
I wrote a BEFORE UPDATE tigger that does not work:
USE moodle;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_course_minpostUPD BEFORE UPDATE ON moodle.mdl_course_sections FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF NEW.MP <> OLD.MP THEN
BEGIN
SET #A=NEW.MP;
SET NEW.MP = #A
WHERE OLD.sweek=NEW.sweek;
END;
END IF;
END$$
DELIMITER ;
From within a MySQL trigger you are not able to affect other rows on the same table.
You would want to say something like:
UPDATE my_table SET MP=NEW.MP WHERE sweek = NEW.sweek
But - sorry - no go.
There are hack around this -- and ugly ones, too.
If your table is MyISAM, you can wrap it up with a MERGE table, and act on the MERGE table instead (MySQL doesn't realize at that point you're actually hacking around it).
However, using MyISAM as a storage engine may not be a good thing -- today's focus is on InnoDB, a much more sophisticated engine.
Another trick is to try and use the FEDERATED engine. See relevant post by Roland Bouman. Again, this is a dirty hack.
I would probably let the application do the thing within the same transaction.

temporary tables within stored procedures on slave servers with readonly set

We have set up a replication scheme master/slave and we've had problems lately because some users wrote directly on the slave instead of the master, making the whole setup inconsistent.
To prevent these problems from happening again, we've decided to remove the insert, delete, update, etc... rights from the users accessing the slave. Problems is that some stored procedure (for reading) require temporary tables.
I read that changing the global variable read_only to true would do what I want and allow the stored procedures to work correctly ( http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_read_only ) but I keep getting the error :
The MySQL server is running with the --read-only option so it cannot
execute this statement (1290)
The stored procedure that I used (for testing purpose) is this one :
DELIMITER $$
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `test_readonly` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`dbuser`#`%` PROCEDURE `test_readonly`()
BEGIN
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS temp
(
`BT_INDEX` int(11),
`BT_DESC` VARCHAR(10)
);
INSERT INTO temp (BT_INDEX, BT_DESC) VALUES (222,'walou'), (111,'bidouille');
DROP TABLE temp;
END $$
DELIMITER ;
The create temporary table and the drop table work fine with the readonly flag - if I comment the INSERT line, it runs fine- but whenever I want to insert or delete from that temporary table, I get the error message.
I use Mysql 5.1.29-rc. My default storage engine is InnoDB.
Thanks in advance, this problem is really driving me crazy.
There seems to be a bug opened about this for the 6.0 beta:
