mysqlshow - display database, table, and column information

SYNOPSIS

mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]

DESCRIPTION
The mysqlshow client can be used to quickly see which databases exist, their tables, or a table´s columns or indexes.

mysqlshow provides a command-line interface to several SQL SHOW statements.
The same information can be obtained by using those statements directly.

For example, you can issue them from the mysql client program.

Invoke mysqlshow like this:

shell> mysqlshow [options] [db_name [tbl_name [col_name]]]

If no database is given, a list of database names is shown.
If no table is given, all matching tables in the database are shown.

HBA and GBIC

The host bus adapter (HBA)

The server connects to the SAN through a host bus adapter (HBA) — an I/O adapter card that fits inside your server and connects it to the fabric layer.

The Gigabit Interface Connector (GBIC)

The Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) is where the cable plugs into the HBA card. Every HBA has a GBIC that snaps into an opening in the card or is soldered to the card. The openings in the GBIC extend out the back of the server so you can plug in the cable. The GBIC houses the laser and electronics that convert the data inside your server into light pulses that travel over the cables. GBICs are used not only in the HBA, but in every device in the SAN. Anywhere an optical cable has to be plugged in, you find a GBIC.

Running The Apache Tomcat 7.0 Servlet/JSP Container

Requirements:

(1) Download and Install a Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE)

(1.1) Download a Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE),release version 6 or later, from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

(1.2) Install the JRE according to the instructions included with the release.
You may also use a full Java Development Kit (JDK) rather than just a JRE.

(2) Download and Install Apache Tomcat

MIME Types

MIME Types

MIME types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. For example, the text/html MIME type equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new MIME types specifically for your site (note that you can not alter the system defined MIME type values). MIME types are often used to handle new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared no one had these extensions set up on their server. With MIME types, however, you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages immediately.

Examples: MIME Type & Extension(s)

32 bit Architecture and the hugemem Kernel

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 or 5 the smp kernel can be used on systems with up to 16 GB of RAM. The hugemem kernel is required in order to use all the memory on systems that have more than 16GB of RAM up to 64GB. However, it is recommend to use the hugemem kernel even on systems that have 8GB of RAM or more due to the potential issue of “low memory” starvation (see next section) that can happen on database systems with 8 GB of RAM. The stability you get with the hugemem kernel on larger systems outperforms the performance overhead of address space switching.
