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.

Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes Programming Databases 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 Community Center Geeks' Lounge by Dani > Example of Dad joke: > > How do you think the unthinkable? > > With an ithberg.

About half-way. Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes Programming Databases by Dani > Your data wouldn't be accurate and incomplete, if either one of the performance schemas were off. Do you mean `!(accurate && incomplete)` or do you mean `!accurate && incomplete`? But I gotcha. Thank you for the explanation. Re: Hello, I'm Tim Cooke Community Center Say Hello! by Dani Hi Tim!

Hardware and Software Cloud-based Apps by Himadri_3 It’s a question we still hear a lot—and honestly, the answer depends on what kind of app you're building. A few years back, native apps definitely had the upper hand when it came to speed and smooth performance. They were built specifically for iOS or Android, so naturally they could tap into every feature and run super efficiently. But now? … Delete unused MySQL indexes Programming Databases by Dani How can I identify and delete unused MySQL indexes? 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 Programming Databases 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 … Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Reverend Jim >I'm quite sure that you can, if I remember correctly? Before OneDrive it was easily done. Not anymore. Microsoft is slightly brain dead.

And then broke his TV playing a game (punched the TV). 3 years later it sits in a box because it's out of date and new models that are worth buying are not worth buying (not going to rewrite that.) For me, not worth it. Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Reverend Jim First app is Macrium Reflect so I can take an image of the fresh install. Then I repartition to C/D, move my user folders (documents, pictures, etc.) to D. Then I take another image. After that I begin installing my base apps before imaging one more time. Re: 💻 What’s the First App You Install on a Fresh Windows Machine? Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by Reverend Jim Further note: Because Microsoft insists on crammine OneDrive down our throats, moving the My Documents is damn near impossible. I've found the easiuest way is to initially set up my computer using a Microsoft Account (something they have also made it almost impossibole to avoid), then create a local admin account and always log on with that.

Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by asadalikhan Nick, this issue sounds like a file association problem. Your URL shortcuts on the shortcut bar are likely opening with the wrong program (like a printer handler). Here’s a quick fix: 1. Go to Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types 2. Find and select .URL 3. Click Advanced and ensure it’s set to open with Internet Explorer (… Re: Problem with MS Office shortcut bar Hardware and Software Microsoft Windows by asadalikhan Nick, it’s likely a file association issue. Reassign `.url` files to open with Internet Explorer in Folder Options > File Types. That should fix the shortcut bar behavior.

Re: Are Cross-Platform Apps Slower Than Native? Or Is That Just a Myth in 2025? Hardware and Software Cloud-based Apps by asadalig In 2025, cross-platform apps aren't inherently slower than native ones—it really depends on how they're built. Modern frameworks like Flutter, React Native, and Kotlin Multiplatform have closed the performance gap significantly. If developers optimize properly, most users won’t notice a difference. However, for extremely high-performance needs like… Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes Programming Databases by Dani OK, so I found [this blog post](https://www.percona.com/blog/basic-housekeeping-for-mysql-indexes/) by the one and only Percona, that says that I can simply do `select * from sys.schema_unused_indexes;` which does give me a list of indexes. However, it says it's based on having: update performance_schema.setup_consumers set enabled = 'yes' … Re: Delete unused MySQL indexes Programming Databases by Dani As some general background, that's the syntax to delete an index, of course, but MySQL knows if an index is used because, well, it's the one that uses it, and it tracks that stuff internally.
