big database +1 million rows/days
HELLO
i have to create a big database , and as i'm a beginner with mysql, i've created a modele but i'm not sure that it will be the best one for my queries.
so every day , i have to insert the content of 11 files in my DB, every file is associated to a node , and one platfom contains the 11 files.
all the files have the same structure , and every file have several rows with the same structure : Object: parameter1 = value1 , value2, value3,....;
one parameter have several values, we have an other file contains the pairs parameter/value .
so i created a static table ( descriptive_table) , that contains all the possible pairs parameter/value .
and for the 11 fichier, i created one table for 1 file, i could create one table for the 11 files , but i don't wanna have slow queries .
the 11 tables have a foreing key (id_ref) references ( descriptive_table)
my problem is that , i don't have a primary key for the 11 tables , each ligne is identified by all the columns, and i don't know how to choose the index, so i'am afraid i will have a slow queries .
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `Description_table` (
`id_ref` int(30) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`object` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`parameter` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`userEngLab` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`class` char(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'U',
`comment` tinytext NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id_ref`),
KEY `object` (`object`,`class`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `aim` (
`platform` varchar(30) NOT NULL,
`value` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`date` date NOT NULL,
`id_ref` int(30) NOT NULL,
KEY `date` (`date`),
KEY `platform` (`platform`),
KEY `id_ref` (`id_ref`),
KEY `value` (`value`),
KEY `value_2` (`value`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
ALTER TABLE `aim`
ADD CONSTRAINT `aim_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`id_ref`) REFERENCES `Description_table` (`id_ref`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;
i hope you can help me.
thank you so much.
