Backing up and restoring all the PHP MySQL websites on a Linux server

Posted by | MySQL, Ubuntu |

All the following commands assumes we saved MySQL root password into MROOTPASS variable:

export MROOTPASS=<mysql root password>

The most straight forward method to backup all the MySQL databases and all the website files (PHP scripts, images, etc..) stored in the /home directory is the following:

mysqldump --all-databases -u root -p$MROOTPASS | gzip > all-databases-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S').sql.gz
tar -cvzf home.tar.gz /home

If we backup some individual database (probably not as root) and change its user while restoring it, it might make a sense to remove DEFINER from the output script:

sed -e 's/*]*\*/\*/'

The following commands restore all the websites from the archives:

gunzip -c all-databases-2017-05-23_15-31-00.sql.gz | mysql -u root -p$MROOTPASS
cd /
sudo tar -xvzf home.tar.gz

After migration from MySQL version  14.14 Distrib 5.5.54 to 14.14 Distrib 5.7.18 (I do not know what is the difference between them) I got the following error: “ERROR 1805 (HY000) at line 1: Column count of mysql.user is wrong. Expected 45, found 42. The table is probably corrupted” while trying to drop some user, and fixed it by running:

mysql_upgrade -u root -p$MROOTPASS
service mysql restart

Compiling GDAL on Ubuntu Linux with SQLite and MySQL support

Posted by | MySQL, SQLite, Ubuntu | Tagged |

Fist install MySQL client libraries and check their location:

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
find / -name '*libmysqlclient*'

Then install SQLite:

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev

Extract GDAL sources and configure supported modules (MySQL and SQLite are not compiled by default, so we need to specify them explicitly):

unzip gdal211.zip
cd gdal-2.1.1/
./configure --with-sqlite3 --with-mysql

this will output “MySQL support: yes” and “SQLite support: yes” along with other information.

Using ADO.NET Entity Framework with MySQL

Posted by | .NET, C#, MySQL | Tagged |

In general, getting EF work with MySQL is a fairly simple task, that could be accomplished by downloading and installing ADO.NET driver for MySQL. But what concerns to me, it taken me about four hours to clarify some MySQL-specific details that affect generation of associations in Model Designer. Also after doing an experimentation with the code I realized that ADO.NET driver for MySQL, as well as other third party ADO.NET drivers, do not support “MARS” and, as far as I see, this significant restriction makes EF unusable with MySQL in large real-life projects. Please read below if you interested in more information on this questions.
