When troubleshooting a MySQL crash, having only the error log is rarely enough to pinpoint the exact root cause. To truly understand what happened, we need to go deeper—into the memory state of the process at the moment it crashed. That’s where GDB, the GNU Debugger, comes in. GDB lets us inspect a core dump […]

We all know MySQL InnoDB ClusterSet, a solution that links multiple InnoDB Clusters and Read Replicas asynchronously to easily generate complex MySQL architectures and manage them without burdensome commands. All this thanks to the MySQL Shell’s AdminAPI. This is an example of MySQL InnoDB ClusterSet using two data centers: Let’s explore how we can automate […]

In my previous blog post, Understanding trx-consistency-only on MyDumper Before Removal, I talked about --trx-consistency-only removal, in which I explained that it acts like a shortcut, reducing the amount of time we have to block the write traffic to the database by skipping to check if we are going to backup any non-transactional tables. Now, […]

MySQL Analysis: With an AI-Powered CLI Tool

As DBAs with MySQL we often live on a Linux terminal window. We also enjoy free options when available. This post shows an approach that allows us to stay on our terminal window and still use an AI-powered tool. You can update to use other direct AI providers but I set this example up to use aimlapi.com as it brings multiple AI models to your terminal for free with limited use or very low cost for more testing.

Note: I'm not a paid spokesperson for AIMLAPI or anything - this is just an easy example to highlight the idea.

The Problem

You're looking at a legacy database with hundreds of tables, each with complex relationships and questionable design decisions made years ago. The usual process involves:

• Manual schema inspection
• Cross-referencing documentation (if it exists)
• Running multiple EXPLAIN queries

Efficiently loading CSV data into your MySQL environment is a crucial step for many analytical workloads, especially when dealing with the substantial datasets common in today's data-driven world. Both MySQL Shell's parallel import utility and HeatWave's Auto Parallel Load feature offer robust and effective solutions, each catering to slightly different needs and environments.

MySQL Shell's util.importTable provides a flexible and powerful way to import data from various sources, including local disks and OCI Object Storage, into your standard MySQL tables. It's a developer-friendly tool that offers granular control over the import process.

For those leveraging the analytical power of MySQL HeatWave, the sys.heatwave_load stored procedure, particularly with its Auto Parallel Load capabilities, simplifies the often complex task of getting data into the in-memory columnar store.

Managing farms of MySQL servers under a replication environment is very efficient with the help of a MySQL orchestrator tool. This ensures a smooth transition happens when there is any ad hoc failover or a planned/graceful switchover comes into action. Several configuration parameters play a crucial role in controlling and influencing failover behavior. In this […]
