Some time ago I blogged on how to get the “Dell DVD Store Database Test Suite” installed in PostgreSQL and Oracle. This time we’ll do the same on a MariaDB instance. I have to admit here that I am not very familiar with MariaDB/MySQL so the stuff presented here for sure breaks any security best practices 🙂

Again I’ll start with a CentOS 7.2 core installation and use the MariaDB binaries available in the standard repositories:

[root@mysqldell ~] cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 
[root@mysqldell ~] yum install -y mariadb-server.x86_64

Having the binaries available lets enable and start the service:

[root@mysqldell ~] systemctl list-unit-files | grep maria
mariadb.service                             disabled
[root@mysqldell ~] systemctl enable mariadb.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mariadb.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service.
[root@mysqldell ~] systemctl start mariadb.service

This should have started my MariaDB instance:

[root@mysqldell ~] systemctl status mariadb.service

As I just want to get the data loaded I do not care much about security and will unlock the mysql account so I do not have to work as root:

[root@mysqldell ~] usermod -s /bin/bash mysql
[root@mysqldell ~] su - mysql

Can I login as mysql?

-bash-4.2$ mysql

Looks fine so lets continue with the dell stuff. I’ll create the DS2 database and the user that the scripts will use to connect:

MariaDB [(none)]> create user 'web'@'localhost' identified by "web";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
riaDB [(none)]> create database DS2;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
ariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DS2.* TO 'web'@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

The next steps are almost the same as with the Oracle and PostgreSQL versions. Transfer the ds2 files to the target machine and extract them:

-bash-4.2$ cd /var/tmp/
-bash-4.2$ ls
ds21_mysql.tar.gz  ds21.tar.gz 
-bash-4.2$ tar -axf ds21.tar.gz
-bash-4.2$ tar -axf ds21_mysql.tar.gz
-bash-4.2$ ls
CreateConfigFile.pl  drivers                  ds2_change_log.txt  ds2_readme.txt  gpl.txt              mysqlds2
data_files           ds2.1_Documentation.txt  ds2_faq.txt         ds2_schema.txt  Install_DVDStore.pl
-bash-4.2$ cd mysqlds2/
-bash-4.2$ ls
build                     ds2_mysql_change_log.txt  ds2mysqlfns.cs        gpl.txt  monitor_load.txt  my.cnf.example.diff          mysqlds2_create_all.sh  web

Looks familiar so lets try to load the data:

-bash-4.2$ ./mysqlds2_create_all.sh
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 16: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=InnoDB' at line 24

ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 5: Table 'DS2.INVENTORY' doesn't exist

Hmm. What went wrong:

-bash-4.2$ grep -i innodb build/*
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_generic_template.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_large.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_med.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_small.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB; 
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB; 
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  TYPE=InnoDB;

Looks like a syntax issue. Fix it:

-bash-4.2$ sed -i 's/TYPE=InnoDB/engine=innodb/' build/*
-bash-4.2$ grep -i innodb build/*
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_generic_template.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_large.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_med.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_cleanup_small.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb; 
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb; 
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb;
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=innodb;

Try again:

-bash-4.2$ ./mysqlds2_create_all.sh
ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 70: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 11
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 47: Table 'DS2.PRODUCTS' doesn't exist
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 5: Table 'DS2.PRODUCTS' doesn't exist
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 5: Table 'DS2.INVENTORY' doesn't exist

Similar issue, so:

-bash-4.2$ sed -i 's/TYPE=MyISAM/engine=myisam/g' build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql
-bash-4.2$ grep -i MyISAM build/*
build/mysqlds2_create_db.sql:  engine=myisam;

… and try again:

-bash-4.2$ ./mysqlds2_create_all.sh
-bash-4.2$ 

Much better. What is there:

You can use the same generator script to get a database sized according to your needs:

-bash-4.2$ ./Install_DVDStore.pl

Please enter system type on which DB Server is installed (WIN / LINUX) : LINUX
***********************************
***********************************

Creating build script for MySQL from templates... 

Template files are stored in respective build folders and the output files are also stored in same folder 

Template files are named with generic_template at end of their filename and the output files without _template at end 

Completed creating and writing build scripts for MySQL database... 

All database build scripts(shell and sql) are dumped into their respective folders. 

These scripts are created from template files in same folders with '_generic_template' in their name. 

Scripts that are created from template files have '_' 100 MB in their name. 

User can edit the sql script generated for customizing sql script for more DBFiles per table and change the paths of DBFiles.

Now Run CreateConfigFile.pl perl script in ds2 folder which will generate configuration file used as input to the driver program

Reload:

-bash-4.2$ ./mysqlds2_create_all.sh
-bash-4.2$ 

And you have a database sized as you want it:

MariaDB [DS2]> select count(*) from PRODUCTS;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|   100000 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Happy generating 🙂 This should work the same for MySQL.
