Lagret procedure, der automatisk sletter rækker ældre end 7 dage i MYSQL

Mysql har sin EVENT-funktionalitet til at undgå komplicerede cron-interaktioner, når meget af det, du planlægger, er sql-relateret og mindre filrelateret. Se manualsiden her . Forhåbentlig kan nedenstående læses som et hurtigt overblik over de vigtige trin og ting, der skal overvejes, og også verificerbare tests.

show variables where variable_name='event_scheduler';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name   | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| event_scheduler | OFF   |
+-----------------+-------+

ups, begivenhedsplanlæggeren er ikke slået til. Intet vil udløse.

SET GLOBAL event_scheduler = ON; -- turn her on and confirm below

show variables where variable_name='event_scheduler';
+-----------------+-------+
| Variable_name   | Value |
+-----------------+-------+
| event_scheduler | ON    |

Skema til test

create table theMessages
(   id int auto_increment primary key,
    userId int not null,
    message varchar(255) not null,
    updateDt datetime not null,
    key(updateDt)
    -- FK's not shown
);
-- it is currently 2015-09-10 13:12:00
-- truncate table theMessages;
insert theMessages(userId,message,updateDt) values (1,'I need to go now, no followup questions','2015-08-24 11:10:09');
insert theMessages(userId,message,updateDt) values (7,'You always say that ... just hiding','2015-08-29');
insert theMessages(userId,message,updateDt) values (1,'7 day test1','2015-09-03 12:00:00');
insert theMessages(userId,message,updateDt) values (1,'7 day test2','2015-09-03 14:00:00');

Opret 2 begivenheder, 1. kørsel dagligt, 2. kørsel hvert 10. minut

Ignorer, hvad de rent faktisk gør (spiller mod hinanden). Pointen er time difference tilgange og planlægning .

Tilfældige ting at overveje

drop event someEventName; -- <----- en god ting at vide om

kan ikke alias datediff og bruge in where-sætning i 1 linje, så

select id,DATEDIFF(now(),updateDt) from theMessages where datediff(now(),updateDt)>6;

få mere præcis, 168 timer for 1 uge gammel

select id,TIMESTAMPDIFF(HOUR, updateDt, now()) as `difference` FROM theMessages;
+----+------------+
| id | difference |
+----+------------+
|  1 |        410 |
|  2 |        301 |
|  3 |        169 |
|  4 |        167 |
+----+------------+

Linket til manualsiden viser en del fleksibilitet med intervalvalg, vist nedenfor:

          WEEK | SECOND | YEAR_MONTH | DAY_HOUR | DAY_MINUTE |
