Part 2 Database Administration

Step 6 Changes of tables and records


Step 7 User Management
Step 8 Backup MySQL database

Part 3 MySQL GUI tools

Step10 GUI tools - phpMyAdmin, MySQL Workbench

Step 1 Basic database terminology


MySQL creates, configures, and communicates with databases.
A database is an organized collection of data.
A database will consist of tables.
Tables contain records (sometimes called rows), and records contain

fields (sometimes called columns) :


Field 1

Field 2

Field 3

Field name

Name

Age

Favorite Color

Record 1

Jeong Chul

30

Green

Record 2

Kim Chan

40

Blue

Record 3

Sophon Pho

22

Black

Step 2 MySQL packages


1.MySQL packages (www.mysql.com)
# rpm qa | grep mysql
mysql-devel-5.1.67-1.el6_3.i686
mysql-libs-5.1.67-1.el6_3.i686
mysql-5.1.67-1.el6_3.i686
mysql-connector-odbc-5.1.5r1144-7.el6.i686
mysql-server-5.1.67-1.el6_3.i686

2.Install packages
# yum install mysql-server mysql mysql-devel mysql-libs mysql-connectorodbc

3. MySQL files and directory


/etc/my.cnf
/var/lib/mysql
/var/log/mysqld.log
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
/usr/bin/mysql*

//configuration file
//data dir
//log file
//starting script file
//mysql binary files

Step 3 MySQL Configuration


1. MySQL user/group account (/etc/passwd)

mysql:x:27:27:MySQL Server:/var/lib/mysql:/bin/bash

2. Choosing options

# vi /etc/my.cnf
# /usr/libexec/mysqld verbose help | less

3. Service startup

# service mysqld start


# chkconfig mysqld on

4. Adding administrative users

# mysqladmin u root password mypassword

5. Process and port checking


# ps ef | grep mysqld
# netstat nat | grep 3306

6. Checking that MySQL is working


#

mysqladmin u root p version proc

Step 4 Working with MySQL Databases (1)


1. Starting mysql command
# mysql u root p
mysql> status
mysql> select version(), curdate();
2. Creating a database
a. mysql> create database data;
b. # mysqladmin u root p create data
mysql> show databases;
mysql> use data;
mysql> drop database data;
3. Creating table
mysql> create table name (
-> id
int
->firstname
varchar(20)
->lastname
varchar(20)
->city
varchar(20)
->cur_date
timestamp(8)
->zipcode
varchar(10)
-> primary key (id)
);

not null auto_increment,


not null,
not null,
not null,
not null,
not null,

Step 4 Working with MySQL Databases (2)


4. Adding data to mysql database table
a. Manually entering data
mysql> use data;
mysql> show tables;
mysql> describe name; or show create table name;
mysql> insert into name values (,Tom,Win,Phnom Penh,
->now(),11111);
mysql> select * from name;

b. Loading data from a file

Create the file using Linux text editor


Each record must be on its own line
Separate each column by a Tab character
Any blank lines result in blank lines in the database table

mysql> load data local infile /root/name.txt into table name;


mysql> select * from name;
mysql> source /root/sakila/sakila-schema.sql;
mysql> source /root/sakila/sakila-data.sql;

Step 5 Displaying MySQL databases


1. Displaying all or selected records
mysql> select * from name;
mysql>select * from name where lastname = Jeong;
mysql>select * from name where firstname = Chul or firstname = Tom;
mysql> select * from name where firstname = Chul and lastname = Tom;

2. Displaying selected columns


mysql> select firstname,lastname,zipcode from name;
mysql> select firstname,lastname,city from name where firstname = Chul;

3. Sorting data
mysql> select * from name order by lastname;
mysql> select * from name order by city;

Step 6 Changes of tables and records


1.Altering the structure of mysql tables
a. Adding column
mysql> alter table name add curdate timestamp;
b. Dropping column
mysql> alter table name drop column curdate;
c. Changing column
mysql> alter table name change city town varchar(20);
d. Changing data type
mysql> alter table name change zipcode zipcode interger;

2. Updating and deleting mysql records


a. Updating records
mysql> update name set city = New York where firstname = Chul;
b. Deleting records
mysql> delete from name where firstname = Chul;

3. Deleting table
mysql> drop table name;

Step 7 User Management (1)


1. Creating user

mysql> create user tland'@'localhost' identified by mypassword';

2. Granting access
a. Full privileges
mysql> grant all privileges on data.* to tland@localhost;
mysql>select host,user,password from mysql.user where user = tland;
b. Limited privileges
mysql> grant delete,insert,select,update on data.* to tland@localhost;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> show grants for tland@localhost;

3. Changing user passwords

mysql> set password for tland@localhost = password(Newpassword);


mysql> grant usage on data.* to tland@localhost identified by newpass;

4. How to access Database


# mysql u tland p data

// data = database name to access

Step 7 User Management (2)


5. Revoking access
a. Revoking specific privileges
mysql> revoke update,delete on data.* from tland@localhost; .
b.Revoking full privileges
mysql> revoke all privileges on data.* from tland@localhost;

c. Checking the result


mysql> show grants for tland@localhost;

6. Rename user
mysql>rename user tland@localhost to chul@localhost;
mysql>select user from mysql.user where user = chul;

7. Deleting user
mysql> drop user chul@localhost;

Step 8 Backup MySQL database (1)


1.Binary Versus Text backup

Binary a copy of the files in which database contents are stored


Text a dump of database contents into text files

2. Binary backup using mysqlhotcopy


# mysqlhotcopy u root p password data /usr/local/src/
# ls l /usr/local/src/data

3.Text backup
1) Back up from the Command Line using mysqldump
a. Backup one database
# mysqldump -u root -p data > data.sql
b. Backup certain tables
# mysqldump -u root -p data name address > data_backup.sql

Step 8 Backup MySQL database (2)


c. Backup more than one database at once
# mysqldump -u root -p --databases data data2 > 2database_backup.sql
d.Back up all the databases in the server at one time
# mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > allbackup.sql

2) Back up MySQL Database with Compress


# mysqldump -u root -p data | gzip -9 > databackup.sql.gz
3) Remote server backup
# mysqldump u root p h 192.168.80.2 data > data.sql

4. Restoring MySQL Database


# mysql -u root -p data < data.sql

Step 9 Checking and fixing databases


To use to check and repair corrupted databases
1.Table files in /var/lib/mysql/data

.frm : contains the definition or the table


.MYI: contains the tables index
.MYD: contains the tables data

2. Stop mysql daemon


# service mysqld stop

3. Check all database tables at once


# myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/data/name.MYI
# myisamchk /var/lib/mysql/*/*.MYI

4. Fix a corrupted database


# myisamchk r /var/lib/mysql/data/name.MYI
# myisamchk o /var/lib/mysql/data/name.MYI

//slower, older

Step 10 GUI tools for MySQL (1)


1.phpMyAdmin on Linux
a. web-based tool written in PHP to manage the MySQL database
b. phpMyAdmin Pre requisites
Php 5 or above, MySQL 5 or above, Apache installed & running
c. Installation of phpMyAdmin
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.31.el6.rf.i686.rpm
(32bit)
# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.31.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
(64bit)

# yum install phpMyAdmin

d. phpMyAdmin configuration

Blowfish secret
www.question-defense.com/tools/phpmyadmin-blowfish-secret-generator

# vi /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 't}T*_xZaN8z}5S*UTd}7UPByGu]}=1UT8|gv##zj=vNy|6';

Access testing

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/

Step 10 GUI tools for MySQL (2)


2.MySQL Workbench on Windows
GUI tool supported by Oracle
SQL development, Data modeling, Server administration

www.mysql.com/downloads
mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.47-win32

Need to permit remote connection on MySQL

mysql>grant all privileges on *.* to 'root'@'%' identified by pass;
