Want to introduce our MySQL-AutoXtraBackup command line tool, using Percona Xtrabackup in core. Looking for contributor

Performance Schema is used extensively both internally and within the MySQL community, and I expect even more usage with the new SYS Schema and the Performance Schema enhancements in 5.7. Performance Schema is the single best tool available for monitoring MySQL Server internals and execution details at a lower level. Having said that, we are also no stranger to the fact that any monitoring tool comes with an additional cost to performance. Hence It has always been an important question to find out just how much it costs us when Performance …

Recently, I asked Colt Engine to help us with the MaxScale Beta Testing process. They agreed to do this, but they had to find the best way to test a new environment, with MaxScale on top and with as little impact as possible on their datacenter. The traditional approach would be to create as many virtual machines as needed and configure them for the designed test environment. This is a valid approach, but it requires some time to setup and the unnecessary use of resources. Instead, they decided to use an “Application Container”; they decided to use Docker.

Docker is an open platform that allows building, shipping, and running distributed applications in a fast and effective way. Docker enables applications to be assembled quickly from components. It also allows you to share easily Docker images inside a group or externally through packages …

When optimizing queries and investigating performance issues, MySQL comes with built in support for profiling queries aka

SET profiling = 1;

 . This is already awesome and simple to use, but why the PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA alternative?

Because profiling will be removed soon (already deprecated on MySQL 5.6 ad 5.7); the built-in profiling capability can only be enabled per session. This means that you cannot capture profiling information for queries running from other connections. If you are using Percona Server, the profiling option for log_slow_verbosity is a nice alternative, unfortunately, not everyone is using Percona Server.

Now, for a quick demo: I execute a …

I recently hosted a webinar introducing MySQL Cluster and then looking into what’s new in the latest version (MySQL Cluster 7.4) in some more detail. The replay of the MySQL Cluster 7.4 webinar is now available here. Alternatively if just want to skim through the charts then scroll down.

Abstract

MySQL Cluster powers the subscriber databases of major communication services providers as well as next generation web, cloud, social and mobile applications. It is designed to deliver:

• Real-time, in-memory performance for both OLTP and analytics workloads
• Linear scale-out for both reads and writes
• 99.999% High Availability
• Transparent, cross-shard transactions …

The MySQL 5.6.4 release introduced support for fractional values within the temporal datatypes: TIME, DATETIME, and TIMESTAMP. Hence the storage requirement and encoding differs for them in comparison to older (5.5 and earlier) temporal datatypes. The storage format for the temporal datatypes in the old format are not space efficient either, and recreating tables having both the new and old formats can be a long and tedious process. For these reasons, we wanted to make it easier for users to identify precisely which tables, if any, need to be upgraded.

In my previous blog post, where we looked at the process of upgrading old MySQL-5.5 format temporals to the MySQL-5.6 format, there was the …

This tutorial shows how to install ISPConfig 3 on a CentOS 7.1 (64Bit) server. ISPConfig 3 is a web hosting control panel that allows you to configure the following services through a web browser: Apache web server, Postfix mail server, MySQL, BIND nameserver, PureFTPd, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, Mailman, and many more.

Data security is a hot topic for many companies these days. But for those who need to adhere to security standards like PCI DSS or HIPAA, security is not an option. We showed you sometime back how to encrypt Galera replication traffic, but for a more complete solution, you’ll want to encrypt all database connections from client applications and any management/monitoring infrastructure. With ClusterControl 1.2.9, we introduced a number of features to facilitate this, including the ability to add new nodes to an encrypted Galera Cluster.

The following are the new relevant configuration options:

• cmondb_ssl_key - path to SSL key, for SSL encryption between CMON and the CMON DB.
• cmondb_ssl_cert - path to SSL cert, for SSL encryption between CMON …
