I’ve repaired the error reported above, and will see if I can roll out the new version this week. Once and for all!

submit a code fragment to pastebin, getting a url like http://pastebin.com/1234

So where do I get the url?

When I put some code into pastebin I get an error message like this:

Query failure: Can’t open file: ‘pastebin.MYI’. (errno: 145)
insert into pastebin (poster, domain, posted, format, code, parent_pid, expires,expiry_flag) values (’Tom Strickland’, ”, now(), ‘text’, ‘tom@HP\:~$ kdesu kate /etc/firefox/firefoxrc\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nX Error\: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 167\r\n Major opcode\: 144\r\n Minor opcode\: 3\r\n Resource id\: 0×0\r\nFailed to open device\r\nkbuildsycoca running\.\.\.\r\n\^A\r\ntom@HP\:~$\r\ntom@HP\:~$’, ‘0′, DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH), ‘m’)

At this poiint “Help” doesn’t help.

I obviously don’t find pastebin as easy to use as you say it is. What to do?

Thanks!

So where is update?

@LordElph: My only frustration is the amount of spamming going on with these pastebin installations. Have you considered adding some anti-spamming measures to the new release? I’ve stopped using pastebin for the most part aside from using it for IRC channels to paste snippets. Pastebin has turned into less of a pastebin and more of a wastebin. It’s a shame too. Pastebin was, is, and always will be a great tool for developers like myself.

EXPLAIN SELECT is your friend when doing query optimizations.

Good indexing is key to getting queries to run quickly. After that, utilizing prepared queries allow the query cache to help you.

Any time you can get the server to handle processing, that’s likely to speed things up too because more data transferred means more network use and that can actually be slower than disk access. Removing SELECT * is a classic optimization (don’t know if you use it or not) and instead replace it with SELECT followed by just the columns you need. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. If you want help, please let me know.
