MySQL Database Analytics with InfiniDB from Calpont – Part

Let's be honest: working with big databases is a lot of fun. There's something cool about dealing with tables that have hundreds of millions or billions of rows in them, loading huge amounts of data, building star and snowflake schemas for data warehouses/marts, optimizing query performance, and all that jazz. Yes, working with big databases is a lot of fun.On the other hand, let's be honest: working with big databases is not a lot of fun. There's a lot of pain in dealing with tables that have hundreds of millions or billions of rows in them, waiting for huge amounts of data to be loaded only to have the load job toss its cookies and fail when it's 99% done, building special schemas that you wonder whether make any difference at all, and trying to figure out why just a simple two-way join query has been hanging for over an hour. Yes, working with big databases is not a lot of fun.

mysql_list_dbs - List databases available on a MySQL server

SYNOPSIS
Warning This function was deprecated in PHP 5.4.0, and will be removed in the future, along with the entirety of the original MySQL exten- sion. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include: oSQL Query: SHOW DATABASES resource mysql_list_dbs ([resource $link_identifier = NULL]) DESCRIPTION
Returns a result pointer containing the databases available from the current mysql daemon. o $ link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated. Returns a result pointer resource on success, or FALSE on failure. Use the mysql_tablename(3) function to traverse this result pointer, or any function for result tables, such as mysql_fetch_array(3). Example #1 mysql_list_dbs(3) example <?php // Usage without mysql_list_dbs() $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); $res = mysql_query("SHOW DATABASES"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) { echo $row['Database'] . " "; } // Deprecated as of PHP 5.4.0 $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password'); $db_list = mysql_list_dbs($link); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) { echo $row->Database . " "; } ?> The above example will output something similar to: database1 database2 database3 Note For backward compatibility, the following deprecated alias may be used: mysql_listdbs(3) mysql_db_name(3), mysql_select_db(3).
