JQL excluding label while keeping empty label issues in filter query

[Nathan Charpentier]

Hi, 

I'm trying to exclude a label and found a solution, except that it excludes empty labels. 

Does anyone know of a way to exclude one label from a query while keeping all other issues not in that label or empty?

Hi Carle!

If you have a dump, you may try to restore it and all the tables will be recreated. After that just point your Jira to the new database.

You can point it on dbconfig.xml file in your JIRA Home Directory.

If you do not have a dump, then I suggest you to create another Jira so the tables will be recreated. Of course since the data was on the database it will be lost. But you'll be able to point your Kira do the new database also using the dbconfig.xml.

Thanks everyone. I've got it working again. The weird thing was that when I created the database; using "create database jiradb character set utf8..." the database is just an empty database. That's no surprise. But when I tried to read in my DUMP file, it kept reporting that it wasn't doing anything. That would indicate that it wasn't re-creating the TABLES...

Regarding the comment that was because I had JIRA running, was a bit confusing because I DID shut it down cleanly, and restart it using the startup scripts used by ROOT. Still, it found a reason to LOCK it up because it couldn't find the TABLES it needed in my empty DB. (That was BEFORE I ran the "source" command in mysql to read in the DUMP file.)

So with the 2nd half of my last reply; I'm saying JIRA did NOT re-create the tables, as was mentioned. Instead it chose to go into LOCKED mode.

I'm not sure what the question is here.

If you start Jira and point it at an empty database, it will create all the tables and start "clean". However, you don't need the tables there to restore a backup, that's the point of a database backup.

Jira is locked now because you're running it. Stop it (cleanly). Then start it when you've got the database in the state you need it in.
