What I’m pleased about is that WordPress works like magic with multiple database servers and minimal effort. I can’t wait to implement this on a bigger scale on all my sites. |
how about when I have a very long database and it takes 20 seconds to load… what should I do? |
Tough one. I’d say if your database is extremely large (we’re talking several GB) then HyperDB can indeed help – but you need to have two or more database servers at your disposal. You can then split the database into several tables per server. |
I would personally try upgrading to better hosting as this will likely solve the problem. |
1 > Do I need to install the application on the slave server? |
3 > In which folder the wp-config should go in the slave machine if there is no need of installing the application on the slave? Will it go to the www directory. Where should I put the db.php file? |
4 > Do I comment the master section info when I configure it for slave? |
1+2 can be installed on the same server – but therefore 3 is not a web server and does not need a copy of WordPress, and hence you only have one configuration file. In this you need to tell WordPress about the two database servers. |
I suppose today we wouldn’t really use HyperDB anymore. HyperDB was developed before affordable cloud hosting became a reality. |
Infrastructure such as Amazon RDS makes our lives much easier: with RDS you can setup a single MySQL instance which scales and replicates automagically, across several continents. WordPress only speaks to one database server, and Amazon handles the rest. |
Old Holborn left a message on Tom Harris’s blog, which propmted me to leave a message for you.My blog roll consists of three names and you are one of them!I have been through terrible depressions myself, even lacking the will to live, which was mainly due to constantly worrying about the state of the world and my own feeble efforts, but then I started lightening up because the Almighty God is in control and so I don’t need to worry every minute of the day.Friends had to drum this fact into my head.I started turning my concerns into opportunities. Instead of getting depressed, I started a website. I stopped worrying what people think of me and started speaking my mind.I know from feedback that I have helped people see things differently. They have thanked me.You are much bigger than me, so many more people will have benefited from your insight.Maybe a change would help. I moved to a new house and I decided I was going to enjoy it no matter what. I guess you don’t have to move to make that decision. Just trust in Christ and do it. The Good Shepherd won’t let us down. I used to worry about the lost sheep. How can *I* save them, I used to beat myself up with, but He will keep the 99 safe while the lost one is returned safely to the fold.I am sure that, through God’s grace, all will be gathered together whose names are written in the Book of Life.At church at the weekend, we were reminded that one of the most important things about being a Christian is the waiting. Waiting upon the glorious return of Christ.While we’re waiting, take some rest as you need to. And remember, depressions *always* pass. I guarantee this. I am somewhat of an expert after several decades of the things. Get some antidepressants if you need to. Plenty of Christians are on them. I’ve been on them. There’s no shame in it.A walk can do wonders, especially if you can kick some Autumn leaves about as you go! |
There are a number of string functions in MySQL for extracting text, working out the position of a substring, calulating the length of text and so on. This post looks at how to work out the length of the longest string in a field in a MySQL table. |
The LENGTH() function in MySQL returns the length of a string in bytes. Multi-byte characters will count as multiple bytes. The examples in this post will use the LENGTH() function but you can substitute them with the CHAR_LENGTH() function instead if you want to count the number of characters rather than bytes. Note that CHAR_LENGTH will treat a character that uses two bytes a one single character and would return 1. |
This will return the number 14. |
where "field_to_query" is the fieldname you want to query and table_to_query is the table. This will then return the length of the longest field named "field_to_query" as an integer. |
This can be quite useful if you've loaded data from an external source into a table and want to ensure you have enough storage space for the data. I need to regularly load data from a text file into a MySQL table and one of the fields is labelled "long_description". Initially I created the field as a VARCHAR(255) and then ran the above query against the table only to discover the longest field(s) were 255 bytes long. I then changed the table to type TEXT and ran the query again and found out the longest field was acutally 1210 bytes long. |

Teeny and the Bee: And baby makes... four? |
I've been getting TIME magazine for years. I used to read it cover to cover. Now if I'm lucky I make it to the letters to the editor that discuss articles from past issues that I didn't get to before it was time to recycle. The issues sit in the bathroom and occasionally Johnny thumbs through them while he's in there and emerges updated on world events. "Did you read that Iran banned the mullet?" he asks brightly, and makes me feel like a kid who hasn't done her homework. |
This past week the cover story was one we both read though. It was on the growing percentage of only children in the US. |
As Thora gets older and other things fall into place in our lives, we are now asking ourselves about #2. Do we want another child? And if we do, when? And what are our reasons for wanting versus not wanting? |
Before Thora was born, we'd agreed on two. Probably, that is. |
Somehow I envisioned our family as a family of four. I still do. And yet we are wavering. |
Reading that only children are on the rise for a lot of reasons was interesting and thought provoking. Only children do better in school. They read more, have higher SAT scores. They get more quality time. And yet, when I, the only child with high SAT scores and an A average, was younger, I often felt like I was surrounded by grownups that didn't want to play with me, who could not relate to me. In an earlier blog entry I wrote that I often felt like my parents were both born at the age of 35 since they had absolutely zero recollection of what it was like to be a kid. |
Desperate for youthful interaction, I always wanted to visit my friends or invite them over. My mother would tell me repeatedly, "Aimee, you have to learn to play by yourself." Board games are no fun on your own - there are only so many times you can play against yourself. I never had video games. I didn't play with dolls. I wasn't a particularly imaginative child. So I read. I would go to the library and take out as many books as I could carry and then devour them all. I'd spend all day lying on the floor of my room reading. I blew through books quickly and I reread my favorites often. All this reading gave me a wide and varied vocabulary, but I was also dramatic, sensitive, emotional. I often think I am that way because I tried so hard to get the attention of grownups who might have been more focused on children had there been more children to focus on. |
That said, I loved being an only child as much as I hated it. Really, it was the only life I knew. I was not spoiled. I was independent by default. I am still independent. Autonomous. Focused. I am so the opposite of distracted and ADD-minded that when I am reading something or even thinking about something, I don't hear the people next to me when they're trying to get my attention. I like and need lots of alone time and personal space. I don't need to be entertained or babysat. |
Johnny, on the other hand, was one of four. Four is a lot. Four is out of the question. Even three is a lot. Three is out of the question. |
Pros of having two: Achieving my goal, living my dream. If we had them close together, they would have each other. If we had another girl, even better! We would be able to use all of Thora's things again. Plus I loved being pregnant. And I would love a chance at a more normal birthing. We would be even more child-centric. We would have a bigger and more fun family. But mostly it is this: I have a lot of love to give. Enough for another child. And I know that I would be a good mother to two. Also (and I hate even typing this), if something were to happen to Thora... and she were the only child.... the all-your-eggs-in-one-basket thing. I worry. |
Cons of having two: I am already 37, so we'd need to get on this soon. Thus we would have two small children at once and I worry a lot about robbing Thora of her babyhood. It would very likely mean weaning her before I wanted to, moving her to sleeping in her room before I wanted to. And can we handle two little ones? One is hard enough! Would we be stretched too thin? I fear the double stroller, two car seats, attempting to tandem nurse. Also, we have a two bedroom apartment, so any new baby - boy or girl - would have to share with Thora, unless we move. But we just moved in. My responsibilities at work are increasing and this pulls me in several directions at once. I miss Thora terribly when I have to work late. Having two means missing twice as much, and putting twice as much pressure on Johnny as the primary caregiver during the week. Raising children is expensive. Could we afford it? Johnny stays home with Thora. Would I be able to support a family of four on my own, or would he have to go to work? |
The strongest argument to keep Thora a singleton is our very real fear of the other shoe falling. I am so freaking happy these days that it's hard to believe my good fortune. I have never known this kind of happiness in my whole life. In the past few years Johnny and I got back together and I learned how to take control of my finances and my life. In the past year, I got pregnant and finally decided I wanted to marry the person I knew I was meant to be with. We had a beautiful, healthy baby who is turning into a happy and thriving child. We moved into a brand new apartment and became first-time homeowners. We saved for and bought me the diamond ring we could not afford when we got married. And most recently, I got promoted to VP at work. This is a streak of good fortune that I worry could run out at any time. Do I dare ask for more? Should I push my luck? What if the next one isn't as easy? Or worse? Then what? It feels like a gamble, and I am not the gambling type. |

I love the bathee photos! |
Ok this entry basically made me tear up. I do not know why, but it did. |
If you ask me, I say two. And for one reason. Seeing the bond forming between siblings is the most beautiful thing you will ever witness in your entire life. |
But off course it is up to you! I do understand the thought of having an only child though. I thought I was done after I had Sumarrós but then Karítas happened out of the blue. Now I am just so incredibly happy and thankful that I have both of them. |
I could tell you all the bonuses of having two (or even three, as I did), but what was right for me might not be right for you. We thought that two was enough. Then I found out that I was pregnant with David. I don't regret for one minute having him. Mine averaged 3yrs between and I still worried that the earlier ones got cheated while I was focused on the newest one. There is no perfect answer. The only question to ask yourself about having another one is "Why?". If you can't answer that one with surety, that tells you something. I know how you feel about having lots of love to give. I felt the same way. Trust your heart in this, and don't let your head confuse you with too many what-ifs. There will always be "what-ifs" no matter what your decision. |
I admire and am grateful to you for speaking so candidly and personally in your blog; for vocalizing things I've felt and thought and even written, but never would have been able to post so publicly. I love reading your posts and vicariously absorbing some of this profound love and happiness. |
Then made fettuccine with the leftovers. |
Making pasta is not for the faint of heart. If you posses a pasta roller perhaps you disagree, but from where I was sitting (drinking wine and sneaking bits of fresh apple cake), it looked pretty hard. |
The results were worthy. Tender noodles (drizzled with sage infused cream sauce) filled with sweet squash abundant with parmesan, cream and a hint of nutmeg. |
Thanks to Daniela of Bella Signature Design for the action photos above. |
12 oz butternut squash, baked. |
Combine all ingredients using the back of a fork to mash the squash. Taste, adjust seasonings. We didn’t use the prosciutto so added extra salt. |
Mix flour and salt then add the oil and egg, mixing well to a firm ball. Let rest to relax the dough and roll into thin sheets. |
This was a challenge so I couldn't run to the store to buy fresh sage and made do with dried instead. So good that I may have to “make-do” with dried herbs more often. |
Combine in heavy pot and bring to a boil; let simmer for as long as it takes to heat your pasta water and cook your pasta. Will reduce to a few tasty tablespoons. Drizzle over hot pasta. |

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to modern work on international trade theory and policy. We introduce students to the main theoretical and empirical concepts in international trade, ranging from Ricardian comparative advantage to modern theories of intra-industry trade. We will analyse the main issues in trade policy and the basic features of international trading regimes. Some of the questions that will be addressed are: Why do countries trade? What are the gains from trade? How does trade influence income distribution? What determines the pattern of trade? What are the implications of imposing tariffs, quotas or other trade policies? |

First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you! |
