You searched for get mysql select version - Page 2 of 11

As the part of analyzing surprising MySQL 5.5 vs MySQL 5.6 performance results I’ve been looking at changes to default variable values. To do that I’ve loaded the values from MySQL 5.5.30 and MySQL 5.6.10 to the different tables and ran the query:

mysql [localhost] {msandbox} (test) > select var55.variable_name,left(var55.variable_value,40) value55, left(var56.variable_value,40) var56  from var55 left join var56 on var55.variable_name=var56.variable_name where  var55.variable_value!=var56.variable_value;

Lets go over to see what are the most important changes [...]

Inspiration for this post is courtesy of a friend and former colleague of mine, Greg Youngblood, who pinged me last week with an interesting MySQL puzzle. He was running Percona Server 5.5.21 with a table structure that looks something like this:

CREATE TABLE foo (
 id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
 update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,
 ....
 INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),
 INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)
 ....
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE foo (

id INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,

uid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL,

update_time DATETIME NOT NULL,

....

INDEX `uid` (uid, update_time),

INDEX `bar` (some_other_columns)

....

) ENGINE=InnoDB;

When he ran this query:

SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

1	SELECT MIN(update_time) FROM foo WHERE update_time IS NOT NULL AND update_time <> '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

The result came back as 2012-06-22 10:28:16. [...]
