Many of you have already heard about NoSQL databases and one of the the most used tool is Memcached, where you add a cache layer between the application and database. Since MySQL version 5.6, a new plugin is available to do the integration between MySQL and Memcached. On this article, we will learn how to install it on linux, and some basic configurations of it.

Pre-requirements:
Install libevent

Installation:
To install memcached support we will need to create a few tables responsible for MySQL and memcached integration. MySQL already includes the file which creates those tables (innodb_memcached_config.sql), you can find this file in a sub folder of your basedir. To discover where is your basedir, run the bellow command:

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'basedir';
+---------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------+-------+
| basedir       | /usr  | …

A bit of history

The latest version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, one of the most popular and respected Linux distributions in the server market, was released in June 2014, followed by CentOS 7 and Oracle Linux releases in July of the same year.

There are very interesting changes for database administrators in these new releases, among which I would like to highlight the fact that installer now chooses XFS as its filesystem by default, which substitutes ext4 as the preferred format for local data storage. Red …

MySQL Fabric is a tool included on MySQL Utilities that helps you to manage your MySQL instances.
It works by basically adding a new layer between your application and MySQL instances, which can provide an easy way to use sharding and build a high available system.

For More information about what is MySQL Fabric, please follow the documentation.

To install our Fabric environment, we will have to configure 4 servers, I will use the follow names and IP on this tutorial:

fabric1 (192.168.0.200) - fabric
mysql1 (192.168.0.201) - mysql master
mysql2 (192.168.0.202) - mysql slave
mysql3 (192.168.0.203) - mysql slave

Note: I’m running CentOS 6.5 on all servers.

Well, we have all heard about the fastest php framework out there. But how do we install it in a Ubuntu Linux machine.

Default process for any linux setup.

Steps:

1. First, we need  a few packages previously installed. To install them, issue the distro specific command in your linux terminal.

sudo yum install php-devel php-mysqlnd gcc libtool

For RHEL:

sudo yum install php-devel php-mysql gcc libtool

For Suse:

yast2 -i php5-pear php5-devel php5-mysql gcc

This is a follow up to the :  WebScaleSQL Installation attempted... part 1

So being a typical geek, developer, idiot or whatever.. I failed to RTFM or in this case the FAQ.

So once I paid attention and didn't just rush into it,  I installed WebScaleSQL correctly.
The biggest problem was that I was using the Linux OS (Oracle Linux VM) which is just too old and  the Oracle repositories did little to help get it upgraded. While I wanted to start with something that everyone could use easily, that just was not it.

I downloaded …

MariaDB 10.0 comes with ~50 engines and plugins; and it comes in 35 package sets (34 binary ones and a source tarball).

Every day people come asking on #maria IRC whether a package X contains an engine Y, or saying that it doesn’t, or wondering if it should. Remembering all combinations isn’t easy, and it became impractical to study build logs or package contents every time, so I ended up with a cheat sheet for 10.0.10 GA. At the very least it should help me to answer those questions; even better if somebody else finds it useful.

The tables below refer to contents of packages provided at downloads.mariadb.org or at MariaDB repository mirrors. Packages built by distributions might have different contents and are not covered here.
