Take only a single db
mysqldump -KER --add-drop-table --hex-blob --triggers --tz-utc
Dump Data Only
mysqldump --complete-insert --extended-insert --hex-blob --tz-utc --no-create-db --no-create-info --skip-triggers mydb > db-data.sql
# or
mysqldump --complete-insert --extended-insert --hex-blob --tz-utc --no-create-db --no-create-info --single-transaction --lock-tables=false --skip-triggers --set-gtid-purged=OFF mydb > mydb-$(date "+%Y%m%d").sql
Create new MySQL Super User
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'USER'@'HOST' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD' WITH GRANT OPTION
On newer versions
CREATE USER dba@fqdn IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE USER dba@fqdn IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'dba'@'FQDN' WITH GRANT OPTION;
flush privileges;
Disable ident plugin so that users can login as root
mysql -e "update user set plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root'" mysql
mysql -e "flush privileges;"
Create database with utf8 multi-byte (4) case-insensitive encoding
CREATE DATABASE `XYZNAME` CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
Disable root user password when unix socket is in used (ON DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS ONLY)
ALTER USER root@localhost IDENTIFIED VIA unix_socket;
Disable mysql user ident
mysql -e "update user set plugin='mysql_native_password' where user='root'" mysql
mysql -e "flush privileges;"
Install timezones
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql mysql

Deadlock wrapper
DECLARE deadlock INT DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE attempts INT DEFAULT 0;
tfer_loop:WHILE (attempts<3) DO
BEGIN
DECLARE deadlock_detected CONDITION FOR 1213;
DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR deadlock_detected
BEGIN
SET deadlock=1;
END;
SET deadlock=0;
/*
* YOUR DEADLOCKED SQL HERE
*/
END;
IF deadlock=0 THEN -- No deadlock occurred! bye, bye...
LEAVE tfer_loop;
ELSE
CALL log_deadlock('tau_user_ranks');
SET attempts=attempts+1; -- deadlock occurred, try it again.
END IF;
END WHILE tfer_loop;
Extract first IP match from MSG
SELECT * , preg_capture('/(([0-9]+)(?:\.[0-9]+){3})/', msg, 1, 1) FROM `archive`
WHERE preg_capture('/([0-9]+)(?:\.[0-9]+){3}/', msg, 1, 1) IS NOT NULL;
Disable event scheduler
Execute the following into the mysql client…
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = OFF;
SET @@global.event_scheduler = OFF;
SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = 0;
SET @@global.event_scheduler = 0;
Using SET column operations
To remove an element, use this syntax:
update TABLE set COLUMN = COLUMN & ~NUM;
To add an element to an existing set, use this syntax:
update TABLE set COLUMN = COLUMN | NUM;
SET Member | Decimal Value | Binary Value |
---|---|---|
a |
1 | 0001 |
b |
2 | 0010 |
c |
4 | 0100 |
d |
8 | 1000 |
IP NETMASK TRICKS
Use int unsigned
for your IP fields.
Insert IP to a table INET_ATON('<IP_STRING>')
insert into ip_table (ip) values (inet_aton('192.168.0.5'));
Select IP to string INET_NTOA(unsigned int)
select inet_ntoa(ip) as ip from ip_table;
Networks and netmasks are no different
select inet_ntoa(network) as network, inet_ntoa(netmask) as netmask from network_table;
List IPs from table that fall under a specific network (eg 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.128
)
select inet_ntoa(ip) as ip from ip_table where (ip & inet_aton('255.255.255.128')) = inet_aton('192.168.0.0');
Similarly look into a table of network/masks to find what networks an IP falls into.
select inet_ntoa(network) as network, inet_ntoa(netmask) as netmask from network_table where (inet_aton('192.168.0.1') & netmask) = network;
Get netmask for a given cidr (eg /25
)
select inet_ntoa(power(2, 32) - power(2, (32 - 25))) as netmask;
^^^^
Get the network address
select inet_ntoa(inet_aton('192.168.0.5') & inet_aton('255.255.255.128')) as network;
Get the broadcast
select inet_ntoa(inet_aton('192.168.0.5') | (inet_aton('255.255.255.128') ^ (power(2, 32) - 1))) as broadcast;
Get the first and last usable IP of a network/mask
select inet_ntoa((inet_aton('192.168.0.5') & inet_aton('255.255.255.128')) + 1) as first_usable;
select inet_ntoa((inet_aton('192.168.0.5') | (inet_aton('255.255.255.128') ^ (power(2, 32) - 1))) - 1) as last_usable;
Get the number of usable IPs for a given netmask
select inet_aton('255.255.255.128') ^ (power(2, 32) - 2) as num_usable;
wildcard for a given netmask (255.255.255.128 here):
select inet_ntoa(inet_aton('255.255.255.128') ^ (power(2, 32) - 1)) as wildcard;
Get the cidr for a given netmask (eg 255.255.255.128
):
select 32 - bit_count(power(2, 32) - inet_aton('255.255.255.128') - 1) as cidr;
