We have never had to be so careful and keep safe with respect to our health as ever before.

I don’t have to go into details.

For the health and safe-keeping of our IT infrastructure, we always remember our weaknesses when we suffer too. It’s probably human nature.

So let’s be proactive where we can.

IT Security has a lot to do with reducing the exposure of the system, controlling the risk and minimizing the attackers options.

Passwords lists abound on the net. They exist to: Get a laugh out of silly passwords… 123456 anyone? Develop a dictionary file to check user passwords either for validation or cracking. From MySQL 5.6 the validate_password plugin has been available. … Continue reading →

Just recently, I have been asked to look into what a Disaster Recovery site for InnoDB Cluster would look like.

If you’re reading this, then I assume you’re familiar with what MySQL InnoDB Cluster is, and how it is configured, components, etc.

Reminder: InnoDB Cluster (Group Replication, Shell & Router) in version 8.0 has had serious improvements from 5.7. Please try it out.

So, given that, and given that we want to consider how best to fulfill the need, i.e. create a DR site for our InnoDB Cluster, let’s get started.

Basically I’ll be looking at the following scenario:

InnoDB Cluster Source site with a Group Replication Disaster Recovery Site.

Now, just before we get into the nitty-gritty, here’s the scope.

Life is already hard enough, so we want as much automated as possible, so, yes, InnoDB Cluster gets some of that done, but there are other parts we will still have …

MySQL is simpler than the Oracle example  because MySQL only has Nested Loops and doesn’t have Hash Join.

Here is the query, like on the Oracle example from the last blog post

select max(t1.data) 
from  t1, t2  
where t1.id = t2.id 
and t1.clus  = 1
;

So there are only 4 examples below which all do NL joins

1. full table scan on T1 and T2
   1. 7.83 secs
2. index on T1 predicate filter column
   1. 7.39 secs
3. index on T2 join column
   1. 0.49 secs
4. index on both T2 join column and T1 predicate filter column
   1. 0.06 secs

There isn’t an idea of “explain analyze” on MySQL until MySQL 8.0.18 and I did my testing on …

From my last blog , I have explained the details about the configuration of InnoDB Cluster ( Group Replication + MySQL shell ) . You can find the link below .

MySQL InnoDB Cluster Tutorial 1 ( Group Replication + MySQL Shell )

In this blog, I am going to explain How to integrate the MySQL router with the existing cluster setup .

As I explained in Tutorial 1 , I already have configured the cluster setup with MySQL shell and group replication,

MySQL 192.168.33.11:3306 ssl JS > cluster.getName();
first_InnoDB_cluster

MySQL 192.168.33.11:3306 ssl JS > \sql
Switching to SQL mode… Commands end with ;

MySQL 192.168.33.11:3306 ssl SQL > select channel_name,member_host,member_state,member_role,member_version from …

MySQL InnoDB Cluster has introduced by the MySQL team for the High Availability ( HA ) purpose . It provides a complete high availability solution for MySQL.

Alright, I am planning to write the series of the blogs about the InnoDB Cluster configurations / Management with MySQL Shell / Monitoring etc …

In this blog I am going to show the InnoDB Cluster configuration with three nodes .

What is InnoDB Cluster ?

In a couple previous posts, I explained how to get an “Always Free” Oracle Cloud compute instance and how to install MySQL on it – as well as how to add a web server.

I started my IT career (way back in 1989) using a (dumb) terminal and a 2400-baud modem to access a server. While I still use a terminal window and the command-line, it is always nice to have access to a GUI. In this post, I will show you how to install and use a GUI on your Oracle Cloud …
