From henk at ripe.net Tue May 11 11:54:12 2004 From: henk at ripe.net (Henk Uijterwaal (RIPE NCC)) Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 11:54:12 +0200 (CEST) Subject: Announcement: traceroute DB changed. Message-ID: Dear all, This is only relevant for those of you mirroring our database with TTM traceroute data for IPv4. All others can skip this mail. As you know, a daily dump of the IPv4 traceroute DB is available at ftp://ftp.ripe.net/test-traffic/mysql/sqldump.gz Over the years, this file grown to more than 1 Gb. This caused problems with copying as well as with our internal operations. As of tomorrow, May 12, the file will therefor be split into (currently 5) files of at most 250 Mb. These will be called: ftp://ftp.ripe.net/test-traffic/mysql/sqldump.0.aa sqldump.0.ab ... sqldump.0.ae (with a 6th file to be added as soon as sqldump.0.ae reaches 250 Mb). To import the file into a mysql DB, you probably did something like: $ gzip -dc sqldump.gz | mysql import This has to be replaced by $ cat sqldump.0.* | gzip -d | mysql import Note that you have to copy all 5 files every time you copy the data base, even though the size of the files appears to be the same. Please mail tt-ops at ripe.net with any questions that you may have, Henk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henk Uijterwaal Email: henk.uijterwaal(at)ripe.net RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.amsterdamned.org/~henk P.O.Box 10096 Singel 258 Phone: +31.20.5354414 1001 EB Amsterdam 1016 AB Amsterdam Fax: +31.20.5354445 The Netherlands The Netherlands Mobile: +31.6.55861746 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Process and Procedure are the last hiding place of people without the wit and wisdom to do their job properly.
