Regular expression excluding subpattern in mysql.log - mysql

I am looking for recovering from my local mysql.log file the changes to perform to the production server and I already got the changes using:
^.*(ALTER TABLE).*(ADD|DROP|CHANGE|^AUTO_INCREMENT).*$
.. and I would also catch the CREATE TABLE statement excluding SHOW CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS. So I tried to firstly only avoid the SHOW but I am not succeding using the more intuitive ways in my mind:
^.*(^SHOW)*(CREATE TABLE).*$
^.*(^SHOW CREATE TABLE|CREATE TABLE).*$
Any help is appreciated,
Carmine Iaciofano

Seems negative look aheads and behinds could be used to solve your problem. The following regex should do the job in this case.
(?<!SHOW )(CREATE TABLE)(?! IF)
In this case, it finds any instances of "CREATE TABLE" that is not preceded by "SHOW " or followed by " IF". Note the spaces in the groups.
You can then use
^.*(?<!SHOW )(CREATE TABLE)(?! IF).*
to match the whole line.
You can read up on look aheads and look behinds here.

SAS pass through - Extract from MySQL does not work

I'm trying to build a Data Integration job uses pass through to extract data from a view in a MySQL database.
Wev'e been using pass through a lot in the project, mostly extracting data from Redshift,
however with MySQL I was not able to do make it work properly.
It keeps complaining a table is missing even though when pass through is off, view is found and data is extracted...
tried every trick I know, starting from enabling case-sensitive DBMS object names, to manually remove single/double quotes from the statement just in case MySQL confuses confuses it with something else...
No luck.
ODBC driver is [MySQL][ODBC 5.3(a) Driver][mysqld-5.5.53].
Ran on a Windows environment.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT
So, first of all, one correction (even though not that important - I extract from a view, not a table).
This is the code generated by SAS Create Table transformation, pass through enabled. I only put an asterisk instead of the full list of columns:
proc sql;
connect to ODBC
(
READBUFF=10000 DATASRC="cmp.web_api" AUTHDOMAIN="MYSQL_CMP_Auth"
);
create table work."W7ZZZKOC"n as
select
*
from connection to ODBC

disconnect from ODBC;
quit;
And again, when I extract data without pass through - works successfully,
I found out the problem was a column name exceeds 32 positions.
As SAS supports up column names up to 32,
the query fails to find PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_OF_THIS_CUSTOMER as the original column name is PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_OF_THIS_CUSTOMER__C.
EDIT
One more thing I found out is, MySQL doesn't like specifying schema name nor aliases.
Therefore,
From clause to only specify table name i.e : 'from v_bi_account' rather than 'web_api.v_bi_account'
and do not use aliases i.e use 'from v_bi_account' rather than 'from v_bi_account as v_bi_account'
Thank you guys so much for your help.

Find and Replace Using phpMyAdmin

Please could someone help me understand why the following SQL doesn't work:
UPDATE `v2rns_content_new`
SET `images`= REPLACE(`images`, 'images\/news_images', 'images\/news_images\/legacy');
I am trying to find and replace the bold part of the following string (there are multiple records in the database with similar strings but the filenames e.g. example.png are different):
{"image_intro":"images\ /news_images\ /example.png","float_intro":"","image_intro_alt":"","image_intro_caption":"","image_fulltext":"","float_fulltext":"","image_fulltext_alt":"","image_fulltext_caption":""}
Please note: I asked a related question yesterday (which will provide some background) but I feel that this question is best asked separately - Updating all rows within a single column using phpMyAdmin
I have managed to solve the issue by changing the already escaped \ to \
e.g. UPDATE v2rns_content_new SET images = REPLACE(images, 'images\\/news_images, 'images\\/news_images\/legacy')
Thanks to #GeolezTrol for pointing me in the right direction.

How to undo sql USE?

What's the SQL command to undo:
USE db;
The syntax I see everywhere is:
USE [db] ;
implying that I can leave out the db part. Not so - this is a syntax error however (maybe just syntax errors in the SQL syntax syntax?).
edit
The programming problem this is causing is that I can't reset the environment in which subsequent commands run. I could reset my DB connection, but this seems efficient.
cmdX; // Works
vs.
cmdX;
cmdY; // May fail because command X upset some state.
cmdX should clean up after itself and put things back where it found them.
Analogously:
cd ./a
doX()
cd ../
doY() // Y expects to not be in a?
I don't think you can. The documentation doesn't say the parameter is optional. It says:
The database remains the default until the end of the session or another USE statement is issued:
So if you want to drop the default, end your session and start a new one without selecting a DB.
What programming problem is this causing for you?
The database argument is not optional.
mysql> use
ERROR:
USE must be followed by a database name
I'm not sure where you saw this command with square brackets around the argument. That is not shown at the documentation page: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/use.html
Microsoft SQL Server uses square brackets around identifiers (as opposed to a style to indicate an optional argument), but the MS SQL documentation for USE also doesn't show it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188366.aspx
What would it mean to "undo" a USE command? Would it be like cd - in bash, making the previous default database again the default? There is no such command in MySQL for this. It doesn't remember what was your previous default database. If you want to return, you just have to USE that database and name it explicitly.

Get Redmine custom field value to a file

I'm trying to create a text file that contains the value of a custom field I added on redmine. I tried to get it from an SQL query in the create method of the project_controller.rb (at line 80 on redmine 1.2.0) as follows :
sql = Mysql.new('localhost','root','pass','bitnami_redmine')
rq = sql.query("SELECT value
FROM custom_values
INNER JOIN projects
ON custom_values.customized_id=projects.id
WHERE custom_values.custom_field_id=7
AND projects.name='#{#project.name}'")
rq.each_hash { |h|
File.open('pleasework.txt', 'w') { |myfile|
myfile.write(h['value'])
}
}
sql.close
This works fine if I test it in a separate file (with an existing project name instead of #project.name) so it may be a syntax issue but I can't find what it is. I'd also be glad to hear any other solution to get that value.
Thanks !
(there's a very similar post here but none of the solutions actually worked)
First, you could use Project.connection.query instead of your own Mysql instance. Second, I would try to log the SQL RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.info "SELECT ..." and check if it's ok... And the third, I would use identifier instead of name.
I ended up simply using params["project"]["custom_field_values"]["x"] where x is the custom field's id. I still don't know why the sql query didn't work but well, this is much simpler and faster.

How do you add comments to MySQL queries, so they show in logs?

I want to be able to add a little note, at the beginning of each query, so when I see it in the processlist, or "mytop", I can tell where it’s running.
Is something like this possible?
I am not sure this would work, but it is worth trying.
Simply add "/* some comment or tag */ " before whatever SQL query is sent normally.
It is possible that MySQL server will remove this comment as part of its query analysis/preparation, but it may just leave it as well, so it shows as such in logs and other monitoring tools.
In case the comments get stripped away, and assuming SELECT queries, a slight variation on the above would be to add a calculated column as the first thing after SELECT, something like
SELECT IF('some comment/tag' = '', 1, 0) AS BogusMarker, here-start-the-original-select-list
-- or
SELECT 'some [short] comment/tag' AS QueryID, here-start-the-original-select-list
This approach has the drawback of introducing an extra column value, with each of the results row. The latter form, actually uses the "comment/tag" value as this value, which may be helpful for debugging purposes.
I discovered this today:
MySQL supports the strange syntax:
/*!<min-version> code here */
to embed code that will only be interpreted by MySQL, and only MySQL of a specified minimum version.
This is documented at 9.7 Comments (used by mysqldump, for example).
Such comments will not be parsed out, and included in the processlist, unlike normal ones, and that even if the code is not actually executed.
So you can do something like
/*!999999 comment goes here */ select foo from bla;
to have a comment that will show up in the processlist, but not alter the code. (Until MySQL developers decide to bloat their release numbering and release a version numbered over 99.99.99, in which case you will just have to add another digit.)
