(25) playing with bash autocompletion

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 11:21:59 +0000

Updated: as Blaxter notes, it’s necessary to open a new terminal after editing the bashrc file for the changes to take effect. Also, I’ve replaced the tail -n+2 with the -ss option. Thanks Baron Schwartz!

One of the things I’ve been doing lately is doing some cleanup on my laptop.

There are two things I’m constantly using on the shell:

Open a project folder
Connect to a MySQL Database

Bash Functions

I first made a bash function to help me with the projects paths:

Importing times in MySQL

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:07:59 +0000

One of the ways to import data into MySQL is using the LOAD DATA INFILE. It is a faster method than recovering from a dump, as it’s raw data instead of SQL sentences.

The import time depends on the table engine, for example, MyISAM can be 40 times faster than Innodb. Let’s benchmark this:

Preparation

I’m gonna make some benchmarking using MySQL 5.1.36 (64 bits MacOS X). I’ll need a big table, so I’ll take City from the World Database and create a huge table called “city_huge”:

MySQL Customer Conferences @ London 2008

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 13:07:58 +0000

After my awful Drunken-Blogging experiment, i’m gonna try to write a real post.

This Thursday, Koke and me attended the MySQL Conference at London. Talks were customer oriented, that’s great for me as I’m used to a developer vision of MySQL, and i’ll have to talk to customers in training sessions.

There was some things that everyone was repeating on every talk. Replication, backup, high availability and sacalbility. I’m sure that I’ll be asked about those things while training.
