Hello -
I am downloading en.wikipedia and trying to get both the cur and old
tables on my system.
I was able to do an import into a 3.* version of MySQL, but I do not
have administrative control of that machine, so I could get the table
space set up to be big enough.
I have total control over this machine. It is a Mac OS X 10.3 running
MySQL 4.1.0-alpha-debug. The SQL files that I was able to download gave
me a syntax error before any data makes it into the tables. I am
re-downloading to see if that helps.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there known issues with importing
into 4.1.* MySQL?
I see that there were, last January, discussions about being able to be
a replication client of the databases, but I do not any follow-up on
these discussions, so it is not clear that one can become a replication
client at this point.
Also, is there a history of the downloadable files? In other words, if
I look at today's file, I can see that the md5 digest for
http://download.wikipedia.org/archives/en/20031010_old_table.sql.bz2 is
6178dc8bbb25c9788b04cd5cb692a70b, but given a copy of
20030922_old_table.sql.bz2, I cannot seem to tell what its md5 digest
was supposed to be. It would be helpful to be able to look at a list of
the data files that were put up in the past and see what their digest
was.
thanx - ray
