Database

Membase and Drupal

jim.salem's picture

Barry and I just met with a team from Northscale -- the startup formed to support and extend Memcached, the popular key-value cache used by the largest web sites. We learned about their new database project, Membase, and talked about how it could help high-volume Drupal sites including our Acquia Hosting customers.

Membase is built on the core Memcached technology and supports the Memcached API. I'm excited about what they've done to extend Memcached: Read full article »

Bug: Can't import databases with "CREATE" in them

Hey, folks. I encountered an error while importing a database with a CREATE statement, e.g.:

CREATE DATABASE `mydatabase` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

It worked fine when I commented out that line. It would be wise to make DAMP ignore CREATE DATABASE statements.

Sorry if this has been reported already. Good luck!

Database Migration **Stuck

This is my first attempt to migrate a Drupal database from a staging server to the live server. I want to migrate all the settings, content, etc to the new server, but have had no success. At this point, I have created a new Acquia install on the live server, updated the templates as desired, and cringe at the prospect of fouling up the install yet again with a database dump/import on the live server. I have tried this three different ways already, and just want to know how migrate properly.

Can anyone guide me on which settings (if any) need attention prior to or after data import? Read full article »

Is it safe to empty the cache_form table?

In all of my Drupal 6 installtions the table cache_form is getting bigger and bigger.

Im using the latest aquia drupal and i have cron running every 1 hour

Also i have done the "clear cached data" under site config > performance

So.. Is it safe to empty the cache_form table?

Thanks

Many to one forms within forms

This is a common problem, so I'm sure I'm searching for the wrong things, but does anyone know where to find a stable module that will allow me to include children forms on parent node forms?

If I were, for instance, creating a recipe and wanted to add main ingredients from the same form.

CCK multi-fields would be adequate if each "field" could have multiple "fields" or could just create nodes instead of simple associated information.

Hopefully this ramble makes sense.

Thanks,
Josh
