The latest from the MySQL community

Description:

I create a empty table and then alter this table's "AUTO_INCREMENT" starts from 10000000.After a long time ,MySQL lost "AUTO_INCREMENT" definition when I show this table again. MariaDB has the same problem but Percona Server is fine.

During the PerconaLive conference in Amsterdam, I attended a session where I heard a good piece of advice about using GTID. It amounts to: look at SHOW SLAVE STATUS output, and if you see more than one line in the Executed_Gtid_Set field, this tells you immediately if someone has written on a slave database.
This is good advice. Let's dissect it. Here is what a regular slave looks like, when nobody has messed up with it:

SHOW SLAVE STATUS\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************

             Master_Server_Id: 1

What is Spark

Apache Spark is a cluster computing framework, similar to Apache Hadoop. Wikipedia has a great description of it:

Apache Spark is an open source cluster computing framework originally developed in the AMPLab at University of California, Berkeley but was later donated to the Apache Software Foundation where it remains today. In contrast to Hadoop’s two-stage disk-based MapReduce paradigm, Spark’s multi-stage in-memory primitives provides performance up to 100 times faster for certain applications. By allowing user programs to load data into a cluster’s memory and query it repeatedly, Spark is well-suited to machine learning algorithms.

In contrast to popular belief, Spark does not require all data to fit into memory but will use caching to speed up the operations …

Sorry I don’t know because I’ve already downgraded to 2.2.9.
Version 3.x wasn’t stable under Ubuntu 14.04 and I don’t have enough time to play with it and I need a working radius server in production environment :)
(I tried 3.0.3, 3.0.8, 3.0.9).

Because somebody asked for it on Freenode:

CREATE FUNCTION DATE_TRUNC(field ENUM('microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second', 'minute', 'hour', 'day', 'week', 'month', 'quarter', 'year', 'decade', 'century', 'millennium'), source datetime(6))
RETURNS datetime(6)
DETERMINISTIC
BEGIN
  IF field IN ('millisecond') THEN SET source = source - INTERVAL MICROSECOND(source) % 1000 MICROSECOND; END IF;
  IF field NOT IN ('microsecond', 'millisecond') THEN SET source = source - INTERVAL MICROSECOND(source) MICROSECOND; END IF;
  IF field NOT IN ('microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second') THEN SET source = source - INTERVAL SECOND(source) SECOND; END IF;
  IF field NOT IN ('microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second', 'minute') THEN SET source = source - INTERVAL MINUTE(source) MINUTE; END IF;
  IF field NOT IN ('microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second', 'minute', 'hour') THEN SET source = source - INTERVAL HOUR(source) HOUR; END IF;
  IF field NOT IN ('microsecond', 'millisecond', 'second', …

At this week’s re:Invent conference, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced it is joining the MariaDB community with the introduction of its Relational Database Service (RDS) for MariaDB. Amazon’s decision was driven by the growing demand among its customers for MariaDB, which now has over two million users in 45 countries.

The new offering will provide additional options for how users can deploy and consume MariaDB. Companies can leverage the AWS MariaDB offering for cloud-based managed database services or for building hybrid cloud/premises architectures for cloud bursting and disaster recovery. Look for additional announcements from MariaDB in the near future about cloud based deployment options that can further enable these architectures.

For companies choosing to leverage the AWS service, MariaDB can provide help and support in areas such as:

• Optimized high-performance …

Complimenting the expanded CREATE USER syntax introduced in MySQL Server 5.7.6 is more useful ALTER USER syntax. Before MySQL Server 5.7.6, ALTER USER could only be used to expire a user’s password. That’s pretty limited. With changes made in MySQL Server 5.7.6, a better distinction is made between privilege-level attributes (those which are managed via GRANT and REVOKE statements) and account-level attributes (those managed using CREATE USER and ALTER USER statements).…

We love developer conferences, they are informative, fun and a great way to network with like minded people. The sessions can help you and your organization discuss and address technology challenges, learn how others are solving problems and exchange knowledge. Even if you can’t make it, most of these conferences are streamed online. Here are the 5 DevOp conferences you should consider attending.

AWS re:Invent

The annual cloud conference, by market leaders themselves, is an event which is jam-packed and sold out, months before the actual event. Amazon Web Services (AWS) knows the importance of educating and constantly innovating on the cloud and encourages organizations to migrate their IT infrastructure to embrace the cloud. AWS re:Invent 2015 has a mammoth 313 sessions with 491 speakers. This event should top any DevOp’s list.
