Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? 3 Days Ago by Yrth > Jim, I have not used Windows in a very, very long time, but can you not configure Windows to store My Documents on D?

It sounds like a fun project so please do let us know how you get on. Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro 4 Days Ago by trcooke Indeed not. He's 7 now. Yes you can get those free standing mounts, but I don't have any. My thermostats are wired into the wall. It'd be cool if you could just pop them off the wall and stick them on a stand anywhere you like, but alas you cannot.

In the first case, which covers every visual within the scaffolding of an app / site, we normally create them ourselves. These are typically SVG files, and … Re: sharepoint policy management software 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim Manitoba Hydro implemented Sharepoint a year or two before I retired. Horrible system if you are expected to manage it without training (as was typical where I worked). I eventually got tired of being told "You're doing it wrong" by the people who DID get the training, while not being told how to do it the right way. I eventually told my … Re: My php is showing wrong results of time difference 2 Weeks Ago by Dani I am confused when you say the HTML time picker input box can be set to 20:00 for time in and 5:00 for time out, because `<input type="time" ...>` only allows the end-user to specify a time, not a time and date combination. Should it always be assumed that if the time out is earlier than the time in, that it is the next day? … Re: My php is showing wrong results of time difference 2 Weeks Ago by Dani In other words, if you just need days or hours you can do something like `$diff->d` or `$diff->h` (All properties available [here](https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.dateinterval.php), but if you want to calculate a runner's start time and end time and then do something like "You ran the race in 08:33:56!" then you could use the `… Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 4 Weeks Ago by Dani I already read that article, as well as related ones such as [this](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/performance-schema-wait-tables.html) and [this](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/performance-schema-event-tables.html) but it all went above my head and didn’t seem to directly answer my question. For example, when I currently run … Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Is that list incomplete or straight-up wrong? I have no way of knowing. If I add a bunch of numbers and get an answer, is it right or wrong? Again, as a guess, if you have enabled the correct flags and let the system run through typical processing, the returned list should be, according to the docs, a list of unused indexes. Worst case … Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 4 Weeks Ago by Dani Creating and removing database indexes is very complex and is not a matter of let's throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. When working with big data, loads and loads of thought goes into each and every index. Nearly all indexes can work, but not as well as others might, and having too many indexes on a table can slow down inserts and … Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 4 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I faced a similar problem when I created and maintained the corporate side databases to mirror the EMS (AGC/SCADA) real time data. One month of data was roughly 300 meg and it was critical that this be available 24x7. Sometimes databases break and it is important to recover them as quickly as possible. Knowing that around 90% of the queries were on… Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 4 Weeks Ago by Dani I can see your rationale, but I don't necessarily agree with a separate table in the database for every month. There are much more elegant ways of handling that use case these days, especially in MySQL. You didn't specify how long ago this was. Either way, still hoping a MySQL expert can come along and answer my question here.

Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 3 Weeks Ago by toneewa Your data wouldn't be accurate and incomplete, if either one of the performance schemas were off. event_waits_current was off, so MySQL didn't store the data (e.g., collect wait event data in detail), which can create incomplete or missing information about index usage like table I/O waits, index access details, event metadata, or timing and … Re: Time for some humour before Jan 20 3 Weeks Ago by Dani > Example of Dad joke: > > How do you think the unthinkable? > > With an ithberg.

Re: How much anonymity does a VPN really provide? 2 Weeks Ago by TurisVPN A VPN helps hide your IP and encrypt your internet, so others (like your ISP) can’t see what you do online. But it doesn’t make you totally anonymous. The VPN company can still see your traffic (if they keep logs). Websites can track you with cookies, and if you log in with your real info, they know who you are. So, a VPN is good for privacy … Re: How much anonymity does a VPN really provide? 2 Weeks Ago by Liam91 A VPN is a tool that keeps your internet connection safe and private. It stops others from seeing what you do online. But a VPN doesn’t make you completely anonymous.

I have a large table that has somehow accumulated way too many indexes over the years, and I'd now like to identify and delete indexes that are no longer used by the application. Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim I thought it would be as simple as DROP INDEX index_name ON table_name; As for removing only unused indexes, I don't know how MySql would be able to determine if an index is used, or not. You'd have to decide. Since indexes are used to find things quickly I would imagine that if you delete an index and then take a performance hit it's …
