OpenSimulator Internals/Useful Queries

Overview

These queries are for grid administrators and developers working directly with MariaDB. Correlated subqueries are used to look up UUIDs by name so you don't have to remember them.

All queries assume osimdev_robust for grid data and osimdev_t1 for region data. Substitute your region database name as needed. Examples use "Test User" as the avatar name -- substitute as required.

Connection

mysql -u opensim -p osimdev_robust
USE osimdev_t1;

Grid Database (osimdev_robust)

Users

Find a user by first name:

SELECT PrincipalID, FirstName, LastName, Email, UserLevel,
       FROM_UNIXTIME(Created) AS created
FROM UserAccounts
WHERE FirstName LIKE 'Test%';

Show login history by name:

SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(Login) AS last_login,
       FROM_UNIXTIME(Logout) AS last_logout,
       Online
FROM GridUser
WHERE UserID = (
    SELECT PrincipalID FROM UserAccounts
    WHERE FirstName = 'Test' AND LastName = 'User'
);

Show home and last location by name:

SELECT HomePosition, HomeLookAt, LastPosition, LastLookAt,
       HomeRegionID, LastRegionID
FROM GridUser
WHERE UserID = (
    SELECT PrincipalID FROM UserAccounts

FROM assets
WHERE CreatorID = (
    SELECT PrincipalID FROM UserAccounts
    WHERE FirstName = 'Test' AND LastName = 'User'

       sizeX, sizeY, flags,
       FROM_UNIXTIME(last_seen) AS last_seen
FROM regions;

Check if a region is online:

SELECT regionName, flags & 4 AS online
FROM regions
WHERE regionName = 'T1';

Region Database (osimdev_t1)

Objects

List all objects with world position (root prims only):

SELECT Name, UUID, GroupPositionX, GroupPositionY, GroupPositionZ
FROM prims
WHERE UUID = SceneGroupID
ORDER BY Name;

Count prims per object (root prims only, sorted by size):

SELECT p.Name, p.SceneGroupID,
       p.GroupPositionX, p.GroupPositionY, p.GroupPositionZ,
       COUNT(*) AS prim_count
FROM prims p
WHERE p.UUID = p.SceneGroupID
GROUP BY p.SceneGroupID, p.Name, p.GroupPositionX, p.GroupPositionY, p.GroupPositionZ
ORDER BY prim_count DESC;

Find an object by name:

SELECT UUID, GroupPositionX, GroupPositionY, GroupPositionZ
FROM prims
WHERE UUID = SceneGroupID
AND Name LIKE '%house%';

List all prims in a named object:

SELECT UUID, Name, LinkNumber, PositionX, PositionY, PositionZ

        LIMIT 1
    )
);

Count task inventory items by type across all objects:

SELECT pi.assetType, COUNT(*) AS count

ORDER BY count DESC;

Show all objects that contain scripts:

SELECT DISTINCT p.Name, p.UUID, p.GroupPositionX, p.GroupPositionY, p.GroupPositionZ

ORDER BY p.Name;

Prim Shape

SELECT p.Name, p.LinkNumber,
       ps.ScaleX, ps.ScaleY, ps.ScaleZ,
       ps.PCode, ps.Shape, ps.ProfileCurve, ps.PathCurve

    SELECT UUID FROM prims
    WHERE UUID = SceneGroupID AND Name = 'Object'

Cross-Database Queries

Objects owned by a named user (cross-database):

WHERE p.UUID = p.SceneGroupID
AND p.OwnerID = (
    SELECT PrincipalID FROM osimdev_robust.UserAccounts
    WHERE FirstName = 'Test' AND LastName = 'User'
)
ORDER BY p.Name;

Inventory items for an object currently in the region:

SELECT pi.name, pi.assetType, a.name AS asset_name

WHERE pi.primID = (
    SELECT UUID FROM osimdev_t1.prims
    WHERE UUID = SceneGroupID AND Name LIKE '%Box%'
    LIMIT 1
);

Conversions

Unix timestamp to datetime:

SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(1782133981);

Region metres to region coordinates:

SELECT locX/256 AS coord_x, locY/256 AS coord_y FROM regions;

Asset type numbers:

0  = texture
2  = sound
3  = landmark
5  = clothing

7  = notecard
10 = script (LSL)
13 = body part
20 = animation
