MySQL Charset Change Script…

In 08 February 2010 I released first version of MySQL Charset Change Script. Now I relased new version(1.0.1) of it. And I want to talk about new release.

In 1.0.1, I create a cli script, this work with parameters. And you dont need to config.php. So now it is very simple.

This script is a simple work. But with big databases, this script is very very pawurful. If anyone test with big tables, and review this I will be happy.

You can download it from here. And you can see simple manuel from here. And If you want to contribute or report bugs/improvements you can visit github project page.

Logging with Python

If you want to logging something in your python codes you can use logging library. It’s so easy way for logging.

Example code:

# Import library
import logging

# create logger
logger = loogging.getLogger()

# Minimum logging level
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

# Create handler for '/home/ozgur/python_logging.log'
handler = logging.FileHandler('/home/ozgur/python_logging.log)

#Format log style
formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s %(levelname)s %(message)s')
#Add handler to logger
logger.addHandler(handler)

#Sample "Error Level" message
logger.error("error message")

#Sample "Info Level" message
logger.info("info message")

#Sample "Warning Level" message
logger.warning("warning message")

Like that, you can generate in “timestamp levelname message” format.

Cloud Computing and Vps disk performance…

I tried to dd command for scale harddisk performance. I did test in two servers, one of cloud computing and one of standart vps.

And here is the results:

13GB file created in 40 minutes in cloud computing (with 8core cpu, Centos 64bits),

15GB file created in 2 minutes in Linode 360 vps server (witch 4core cpu, Ubuntu 32bits).

This result shows that, If you want speedy hdd you should not use cloud computing.
