[. . . ] Moreover, all the objects that are source of data need unique names among themselves. You can use any identifier 339 that is allowed by MySQL server. Engine Here you can change the table type. InnoDB Transaction-safe tables with row locking and foreign key support (since MySQL version 3. 23. 44 only) Transaction-safe tables with page locking. The storage engine accesses data in tables of remote databases rather than in local tables. Its purpose is to serve as an example in the MySQL source code that illustrates how to begin writing new storage engines. The engine stores data in text files using comma-separated values format. The BLACKHOLE storage engine acts as a "black hole" that accepts data but throws it away and does not store it. The ARCHIVE storage engine is used for storing large amounts of data without indexes in a very small footprint. Berkeley_db ISAM MEMORY (HEAP) MRG_MyISAM GEMINI FEDERATED EXAMPLE CSV BLACKHOLE ARCHIVE Connection (only for FEDERATED tables) Specify here a connection string that indicates to the FEDERATED engine how to connect to the remote server. The general form of the connection string is as follows: scheme://user_name[:password]@host_name[:port_num]/db_name/tbl_name © 2009 SQL Maestro Group Database Object Management 109 Only mysql is supported as the scheme value at this point; the password and port number are optional. Here are some example connection strings: CONNECTION='mysql://username:password@hostname:port/database/tablename' CONNECTION='mysql://username@hostname/database/tablename' CONNECTION='mysql://username:password@hostname/database/tablename' The use of Connection for specifying the connection string is non-optimal and is likely to change in future. Such applications are likely to need modification if the format for specifying connection information changes. Insert method (Only for Mrg_MYISAM tables) You can optionally specify an Insert method option if you want inserts for the Mrg_MYISAM table to take place in the first or last table of the UNION list. Use a value FIRST or LAST to cause inserts to be made in the first or last table, respectively. If you do not specify the option or if you specify it with a value NO, attempts to insert rows into the Mrg_MYISAM table result in an error. Union tables (Only for Mrg_MYISAM tables) Creates a collection of identical MyISAM tables as one. Check sum Maintains a checksum for all rows (makes table a little slower to update but makes it easier to find the corrupted tables). Avg row length Use the option in case your table is larger than 4GB and your operating system supports large files among with Max rows options. Partition type (since MySQL 5. 1. x) © 2009 SQL Maestro Group 110 MySQL Maestro Help The field displays the type of current table partitioning type. Auto increment (only to integer types) Specify a special counter called the auto-increment counter that is used in assigning new values for the column.
