Comment 1

[Sheeri Cabral [:sheeri]]

tl;dr, I think I know what to do, but I want a sanity check by Dave Miller.

Hrm, I know I've done this before, but I can't seem to find it doc'd anywhere.

User looks to be user_id=441810 (from the profiles table), and the tables in question are longdescs, bugs_activity, and bugs_fulltext - bugs_fulltext only has 1 row, and it's not 

mysql> select * from bugs_activity where who=441810;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from longdescs where bug_id=693076 and who=441810\G

4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Comment_id is the primary key on longdescs, and there's a referring field from bugs_activity:


mysql> select * from bugs_activity where comment_id between 6296335 and 6296338;
Empty set (0.00 sec)

We should definitely delete from longdescs, and I think that's the right thing to do here, but I'm unsure if there's more than that, so I'll ask Dave Miller for a sanity check.

[David Lawrence [:dkl]]

Looks correct to me since the ids are sequential and as long as BETWEEN includes the min and max ids which it seems to from the MySQL docs.

DELETE FROM longdescs WHERE comment_id BETWEEN 6296335 and 6296338;

Here's the backup idea just in case:

[root@tp-bugs01-slave01 ~]# mysqldump bugs longdescs --where "comment_id BETWEEN 6296335 and 6296338;" | grep INSERT
INSERT INTO `longdescs` VALUES (693076,441810,'2012-05-10 05:31:04','1','0.00',0,0,6296335,6,'565744'),(693076,441810,'2012-05-10 05:31:04','1','0.00',0,0,6296336,6,'565744'),(693076,441810,'2012-05-10 05:31:04','1','0.00',0,0,6296337,6,'565744'),(693076,441810,'2012-05-10 05:31:04','1','0.00',0,0,6296338,6,'576075');
