Description of problem: The mysql-5.1.46-1.fc13.x86_64 does not have the --with-partition build option used when installed. Therefore, partitioning is no longer supported. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.1.46-1.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Very, any time you want to make, alter, etc a table that needs partitions Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a table that uses partitions. Ex, add /*!50100 PARTITION BY HASH (user_nbr) PARTITIONS 5 */; in your create table statement 2. try to access tables that use partitioning, the engine type is not understood 3. Actual results: ERROR 1289 (HY000): The 'partitioning' feature is disabled; you need MySQL built with '--with-partition' to have it working Expected results: SUCCESS Additional info: The same version of mysql compiled for the fc12 tree works fine.
sorry, this would refer to the mysql-server-5.1.46-1.fc13.x86_64 package rather than the plain mysql pacakge I assume.
Hmm. That was never explicitly selected in our builds, but apparently the configure script silently turns it on if you enable ndbcluster. Which we stopped doing in F-13 because upstream has discontinued support for ndbcluster as part of the base mysql source distribution. So the fact that partition was there in F-12 is really an artifact rather than intentional. How big is the use-case for it?
if you have large databases, like I do on my servers, partitioning can increase the performance of queries since it is able to break tables into multiple files across the file system and then prune to only do table scans in the files needed. i can separate my 14+million row DB into files that have 4million rows, queries go from 13 seconds to 2.5 seconds. It is really needed for my server setup, and it is one of the cool new features of mysql 5.1
OK, I'll see about turning it back on. Has to wait till the pending security releases get out of the testing pipeline, though; I don't want to reset the karma clock on them.
Thanks for the update. I will wait for some more news
