When I first heard of MySQL Proxy, I thought, “That’s way cool.”<\/p>\n
Then I thought, “Neat toy, but I can’t think of anything I’d actually want it for. I can spell ‘SELECT’ without the client correcting me, and I’d just as soon use the built in logs. ”<\/p>\n
Now I’m starting to gather ideas that might be practical:
\n
\n– Accept INSERT\/UPDATE\/DELETE statements on information_schema tables, and transform them to the equivalent ALTER\/CREATE\/DROP statements (Freenode often sees questions about how to alter character sets on all tables at once, or how to drop all tables in a database)<\/p>\n
– SELECT * EXCEPT (field list) (For those too lazy to type it all out)<\/p>\n
– Check –safe-updates or –i-am-a-dummy. If set, change all SELECT * to SELECT * EXCEPT (any BLOB or TEXT column) (Since blobs are heavy) (This was Jan’s suggestion)<\/p>\n
– Add CONNECT BY PRIOR syntax (for getting hierarchies out of adjacency lists)<\/p>\n
– Aliases for custom-defined field types (so my_special_field becomes varchar(150))<\/p>\n
Anything else you’d like to see in a Proxy script, but haven’t had a chance to write yet?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
