A quick primer on Perl programs connecting to the MySQL database. It’s another set of coding examples for the AlmaLinux instance that I’m building for students. This one demonstrates basic Perl programs, connecting to MySQL, returning data sets by reference and position, dynamic queries, and input parameters to dynamic queries.

1. Naturally, a hello.pl is a great place to start:

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   
   # Hello World program.
   print "Hello World!\n";
   

   After setting the permissions to -rwxr-xr-x. with this command:

   chmod 755 hello.pl
   

   You call it like this from the Command-Line Interface (CLI):

   ./hello.pl
   

   It prints:

   Hello World!
   

2. Next, a connect.pl program lets us test the Perl::DBI connection to the MySQL database.

   #!/usr/bin/perl
   
   # Import libraries.
   use strict;
   use warnings;
   use v5.10;     # for …

The OpenLampTech developer newsletter is one year old! I honestly don’t know where the past year went. Obviously, I had my nose buried in some fantastic content since OpenLampTech publishes mostly curated newsletters.

I tell you though, don’t think it isn’t a challenge adding your own thoughts and commentary to someone else’s great content because it definitely is.

I plan to continue publishing curated content in OpenLampTech but, also cover tech reporting and news-related topics that are within the MySQL, PHP, and LAMP stack ecosystems.

There seems to always be plenty to talk about in these areas so a shortage of topics won’t be the issue (I don’t think).

Sometimes, the MySQL Optimizer chooses a wrong plan, and a query that should execute in less than 0.1 second ends-up running for 12 minutes !  This is not a new problem: bugs about this can be traced back to 2014, and a blog post on the subject dates of 2015.  But even if this is old news, because this problem recently came to my attention, it is a problem worth writing on.

At Percona Managed Services, sometimes clients’ applications face deadlock situations and need all historic deadlock information for application tuning.

We could get the LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK from SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS\G:

LATEST DETECTED DEADLOCK

*** (1) WAITING FOR THIS LOCK TO BE GRANTED:
RECORD LOCKS space id 163 page no 3 n bits 72 index GEN_CLUST_INDEX of table `deadlock_test`.`t` trx id 78507 lock_mode X waiting
*** (2) TRANSACTION:

mysql tables in use 1, locked 1

But how could we view all past deadlock information?

We could enable innodb_print_all_deadlocks,  and all deadlocks in InnoDB user transactions will be recorded in the MySQL error log.

Let‘s start the test.
