error in mysql partitioning - mysql

I need to create the table in the below format. But is returning the error in the partitioning area that is Error Code: 1659. Field 'fldassigndate' is of a not allowed type for this type of partitioning. How to resolve this error and make partitioning ?
CREATE TABLE tblattendancesetup (
fldattendanceid int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
flddept varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
fldemployee varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
fldintime varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldouttime varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldlateafter varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldearlybefore varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldweekoff varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldshiftname varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldassigndate varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldfromdate varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldtodate varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldrefid varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY fldattendanceid (fldattendanceid),
KEY in_attendancesetup (fldemployee,fldintime,fldouttime,fldlateafter,fldearlybefore,fldfromdate,fldtodate,fldattendanceid),
KEY i_emp_tmp (fldemployee),
KEY i_emp_attendance (fldemployee)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE (fldassigndate)
(PARTITION p_Apr VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2012-05-01')),
PARTITION p_May VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2012-06-01')),
PARTITION p_Nov VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE );

From the MySQL manual (Section 18):
Data type of partitioning key. A partitioning key must be either an
integer column or an expression that resolves to an integer.
Neither dates nor varchars can be used for partitioning

Although this question is very old, I thought it'd help those searching, like I was at one point.
OP should first set his column structures correctly by using a correct structure for a date field, like datetime.
Once that is done, I have not tried to set my keys in that manner, but I have found that I needed to use a composite primary key if I wanted to keep the structure of my table the same. In this case, it'd be
PRIMARY KEY(`fldattendanceid`, `fldassigndate`)
Then, there is a missing TO_DAYS specified in the PARTITION BY RANGE. Lastly, I'm not 100 percent sure, but I don't think you can partition on a null field. Even if you can, it'd be awful practice to do so.
CREATE TABLE tblattendancesetup (
fldattendanceid INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
flddept VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,
fldemployee VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT NULL,
fldintime DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldouttime DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldlateafter DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldearlybefore DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldweekoff VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldshiftname VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fldassigndate DATETIME NOT NULL,
fldfromdate DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldtodate DATETIME DEFAULT NULL,
fldrefid VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY(`fldattendanceid`, `fldassigndate`),
KEY in_attendancesetup (fldemployee,fldintime,fldouttime,fldlateafter,fldearlybefore,fldfromdate,fldtodate,fldattendanceid),
KEY i_emp_tmp (fldemployee),
KEY i_emp_attendance (fldemployee)
)
PARTITION BY RANGE ( TO_DAYS(fldassigndate))
(PARTITION p_Apr VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2012-05-01')),
PARTITION p_May VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2012-06-01')),
PARTITION p_Nov VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE );
I hope this helps someone!

How can I avoid getting this MySQL error Incorrect column specifier for column COLUMN NAME?

How can I avoid getting this MySQL error Incorrect column specifier for column topic_id ?
MySQL Error...
#1063 - Incorrect column specifier for column 'topic_id'
SQL Schema...
CREATE TABLE discussion_topics (
topic_id char(36) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
project_id char(36) NOT NULL,
topic_subject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
topic_content TEXT default NULL,
date_created DATETIME NOT NULL,
date_last_post DATETIME NOT NULL,

last_post_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
posts_count char(36) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (topic_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
To use AUTO_INCREMENT you need to deifne column as INT or floating-point types, not CHAR.
AUTO_INCREMENT use only unsigned value, so it's good to use UNSIGNED as well;
CREATE TABLE discussion_topics (
topic_id INT NOT NULL unsigned AUTO_INCREMENT,
project_id char(36) NOT NULL,
topic_subject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
topic_content TEXT default NULL,
date_created DATETIME NOT NULL,
date_last_post DATETIME NOT NULL,
created_by_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
last_post_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
posts_count char(36) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (topic_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
The auto_increment property only works for numeric columns (integer and floating point), not char columns:
CREATE TABLE discussion_topics (
topic_id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
project_id char(36) NOT NULL,
topic_subject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
topic_content TEXT default NULL,
date_created DATETIME NOT NULL,
date_last_post DATETIME NOT NULL,
created_by_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
last_post_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
posts_count char(36) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (topic_id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
Quoting the doc:
Some attributes do not apply to all data types. AUTO_INCREMENT applies
only to integer and floating-point types. DEFAULT does not apply to
the BLOB or TEXT types.
In your case, you're trying to apply AUTO_INCREMENT modifier to char column. To solve this, either drop AUTO_INCREMENT altogether (that means you'll have to generate a unique id on the application level) or just change topic_id type to the relevant integer one.
As a sidenote, it makes little sense using char(36) to store the posts count, so that column's type probably has to be changed as well. It looks like you're going this way to prevent integer overflow - but if you're dealing with more than 18446744073709551615 posts (the biggest number that can be stored in BIGINT UNSIGNED column) in a single topic, you have far bigger problem on your side probably. )
You cannot auto increment the char values. It should be int or long(integers or floating points).
Try with this,
CREATE TABLE discussion_topics (
topic_id int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
project_id char(36) NOT NULL,
topic_subject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
topic_content TEXT default NULL,
date_created DATETIME NOT NULL,
date_last_post DATETIME NOT NULL,
created_by_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
last_post_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
posts_count char(36) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`topic_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;
Hope this helps
I was having the same problem, but using Long type. I changed for INT and it worked for me.
CREATE TABLE lists (
id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
desc varchar(30),

visibility boolean,

getting error 1503: A primary key must include all columns in the table's partitioning function

I have a table structure like-
CREATE TABLE `cdr` (`id` bigint(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

and when i am creating partition -
ALTER TABLE cdr PARTITION BY RANGE (TO_DAYS(eventdate)) (
PARTITION p01 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2013-09-01')),
PARTITION p02 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2013-09-15')),
PARTITION p03 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2013-09-30')),
PARTITION p04 VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
getting the
error 1503: A primary key must include all columns in the table's partitioning function
i have read everywhere about this but not getting anything so please let me know how to partition this table. i have 20+ million records in it.
Thank you.
I have already solved this problem by adding eventdate with primary key.
Possible solutions:
change eventdate to eventDate on 'ALTER TABLE cdr PARTITION BY RANGE (TO_DAYS(eventdate)) '
change eventDate to timestamp. (mysql can't do partition on datetime)

MySQL Database Error: Constant, random or timezone-dependent expressions in (sub)partitioning function are not allowed

I was tried to make partition by the timestamp in mysql table. But it is returning an error
CREATE TABLE tblemployeepunch (
fld_id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
fld_date Varchar(15) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_rawpunchdate varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_rawpunchtime varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_cardno varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_reasoncard varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_mode varchar(20) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_punchdatetime varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
fld_crtdate TIMESTAMP NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
UNIQUE KEY fld_id (fld_id,fld_crtdate),
KEY in_timesheet (fld_cardno,fld_punchdatetime,fld_mode,fld_rawpunchtime),
KEY in_emppunch (fld_cardno,fld_rawpunchdate,fld_punchdatetime)
)
PARTITION BY HASH(DAYOFYEAR(fld_crtdate))
PARTITIONS 12;
Well, the error message is quite clear. Don't partition by values which are in a timezone-dependent column. Use a column which has datatype date, datetime or int (by calculating DAYOFYEAR(fld_crtdate) beforehand in a separate column) or any other.

MySQL index help - which is faster?

What I'm dealing with:
I have a project which uses ActiveCollab 2, and the database structure is new to me - practically everything gets stored to a project_objects table and has a recursively hierarchical relationship:
Record 1234 might be type "Ticket" with parent_id of 123
Record 123 might be type "Category" with parent_id of 12
Record 12 might be type "Milestone" and so on.
Currently there are upwards of 450,000 records in this table and many of the queries in the code reference the name field which does NOT have an index on it. An example value might be Design or Development.
This might be an example query:
SELECT * FROM project_objects WHERE type = "Ticket" and name = "Design"
My problem:
I have a query that is taking upwards of 12-15 seconds and I have a feeling it's from that
name column lacking the index and requiring the full text search. My understanding with indexes is that if I add one to the name field, it'll speed up the reads, but slow down the inserts and updates. Does the index need to get rebuilt completely every time a record is added or updated or is it just altered/appended? I don't want to optimize this query with an index if it means drastically slowing down other parts of the code base which depend on faster writes.
My question:
Assume 100 reads and 100 writes per day, which is more likely to be a faster process for MySQL - executing the above query on the above table without the index or having to rebuild the index every time a record is added?
I don't have the knowledge or authority to start running benchmarks, but I would like to offer a suggestion to the client without sounding completely novice. Thanks!

As #Ray points out, indexes do not have to be rebuilt on every Insert, Update or Delete operation. So, if you only want to improve efficuency of this (or similar) queries, add either an index on (name, type) or on (type, name).
Since you already have an index on (type) alone, I would add the first one:
ALTER TABLE project_objects
ADD INDEX name_type_IDX
(name, type) ;
It may take a few seconds on a busy server but it has to be done once and then all the queries with conditions like yours will benefit. It may also improve efficiency of several other types of queries that involve name only or name and type:
WHERE name = 'Design' AND type = 'Ticket' --- your query
WHERE name = 'Design' --- condition on `name` only
GROUP BY name --- group by `name`
WHERE name LIKE 'Design%' --- range condition on `name` only
WHERE name = 'Design' --- equality condition on `name`
AND type LIKE 'Ticket%' --- and range condition on `type`
WHERE name = 'Design' --- equality condition on `name`
GROUP BY type --- and group by `type`
GROUP BY name --- group by `name`
, type --- and `type`
The insert cost of adding a single point index on the name column is most likely negligible--it will probably amount to an addition of a constant time increase, probably no more that a few milliseconds. You will eat up some extra disk space, but that's usually not a concern. Nothing like the multiple seconds you're experienceing on select performance.
Add the index, enjoy the performance improvement.
BTW: Indexes aren't 'rebuilt' on every insert. They're usually implemented in B-Trees and unless you're deleting frequently, should require very little re-balancing once you get larger than a few levels (and rebalancing with little depth is pretty cheap).

A primary must include all columns in the table's partitioning location error?

I tried to create a table with range partitioning. But it shows the following error:
A primary must include all columns in the table's partitioning
location.
This is my SQL statement:
CREATE TABLE `tbl_emp_confirmation` (
`fld_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`fldemp_id` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`fldempname` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`fldjoindate` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`fldconfirmdate` Date NOT NULL,
`fldresigndate` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`fldstatus` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
`fldcon_status` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
UNIQUE KEY `fld_id` (`fld_id`),
KEY `in_empconfirmation` (`fldemp_id`,`fldempname`,`fldjoindate`,`fldconfirmdate`)
) PARTITION BY RANGE ( Month(fldconfirmdate))
(PARTITION p_JAN VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2011-01-01')),
PARTITION p_FEB VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2011-02-01')),
PARTITION p_MAR VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2011-03-01')),
PARTITION p_APR VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2011-04-01')),
PARTITION p_MAY VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DAYS('2011-05-01')),
PARTITION p_MAX VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE );
You are partitioning data using fldconfirmdate, which is part of your PK, but not a part of your UNIQUE KEY fld_id.
This is extracted from the MySQL manual:
In other words, every unique key on the table must use every column in the table's partitioning expression.
Which means that, making fldconfirmdate to be a part of your UNIQUE KEY 'fld_id´ will solve the problem.

`fld_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
