Tip of the Day: Installing MySQL Coolstack on Solaris

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:35:36 -0700

Here are few tips if you are going to install the MySQL Coolstack package on Sun Solaris.

First of all, let me say that, as usual, these tips are based on my personal experience and they may not be applicable to your sw version or environment. For this specific tip, I can't say if it is applicable for all versions of Solaris - 9, 10, OpenSolaris, X86, SPARC etc.

You can get the Coolstack from here - http://cooltools.sunsource.net/coolstack. Within Coolstack you will find CSKmysql, a specific 64 bit package prepared by Sun that provides some interesting performance improvements. Coolstack has been built with Sun Studio from the same source used to build the standard versions. Also, CSKmysql provides Dtrace probes - I am sure some will find this feature a great plus. The last available version, 1.3.1, is based on MySQL 5.1.25RC.

When you install the package, make sure that you first create a symbolic link to your package in /var/sfw/lib/64, in order to avoid the message:

pkgadd: ERROR: no packages were found in

The package is installed in /opt/coolstack/mysql. Unless it does impact your internal policies or other software, I would recommend to create the symbolic link /usr/local/mysql.

Once the software has been installed, you need to create the first set of system tables. For some reason, the mysq_install_db script (which is usually in the scripts dir) is not available in Coolstack. You need to download a community edition from the mysql web site or you may create the tables on another server (Linux or Solaris, it does not matter) and then copy them on the server you are preparing. If you decide for the latter, make sure you apply the right owner (usually mysql).

You are almost there. The last issue you may find is some missing libraries. The easiest thing to do is to export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH var:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib/64

Make sure you set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for both your server and your client.

Et voila'. The server is (should be) able to start with the usual mysqld_safe command.

CoC를 이용하여 iBATIS 설정 간소화하기

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 07:31:06 -0700

서브모듈 별로 분리하여 시스템을 개발하려면 설정파일을 잘 분리해야 한다. iBATIS 인 경우는 sqlmap-config 파일에 모든 mapping 파일을 등록해야 하므로 사실상 설정 파일을 모듈별로 분리하기는 어렵다. 이 부분에 대하여 고민하고 있던 중에 Spring 프레임워크가 구원투수로 나섰다. Spring 버전 2.5.3을 이용하면 이 문제를 깔끔(?)하게 처리할 수 있다...

Maintaining Browser Specific CSS

Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:11:24 -0700

Nick Cairns saw our post on conditional CSS for browsers and followed up discussing how he handles maintaining IE specific CSS selectors:

We keep our IE related styling right below the common (standards-based) declarations. BUT, we DON’T use hacks. Underscore hacks, * hacks, and all of those things that we all gave up with the birth of IE7 should remain dead and buried. Instead, we’re going to use IE’s conditional commenting to create IE specific CSS selectors. We do this by adding a conditional comment block as the outer most wrapper in our html template (ie. the first tag inside the ).

PLAIN TEXT

HTML:

</body><body>









<div id="body1" class="W3C">



/* THE REST OF YOUR HTML GOES HERE */

</div>

</div></div></div></body>

Now, in this sample, we do have support for older legacy versions of IE, so you could always reduce the number of conditions if your project doesn’t need this level of support. And, you could also easily extend it to include IE8, or to do minus versioning such as IE8-.

With this conditional block in place, it becomes quite easy to place IE only style declarations right below their standards-based counterparts. As an example:

PLAIN TEXT

CSS:

#header { overflow: hidden; }

.IE #header { zoom: 1; }
