Schedule of the MySQL Belgian Days 2024

The MySQL Belgian Days are sold-out, our event that will take place the 1st and 2nd February 2024 in Brussels seems to have already attracted a lot of interest.

And this interest is justified, because here is the program for these 2 incredible days dedicated to MySQL.

Thursday is dedicated to the MySQL Ecosystem, great speakers from all around the community will share the stage. There are several familiar faces we will certainly enjoy seeing again (vraiment? oui oui!)*.

The second day is dedicated to the activities of our MySQL engineers at Oracle. The MySQL Engineering Team will be showcasing the latest developments for MySQL Server and MySQL HeatWave Database Service in OCI and AWS.

Day 1 – MySQL …

One of our customers wants to create a table having a column of data type TEXT with the default value, but they encountered an error: [crayon-661430a432b94245573814-i/]. It seems reasonable at first glimpse, as we know that each BLOB, TEXT, GEOMETRY, or JSON value is represented internally by a separately allocated object. This is in contrast […]

Advent Calendar 2023 - recap

In my previous article, Comparisons of Proxies for MySQL, I showed how MySQL Router was the lesser performing Proxy in the comparison. From that time to now, we had several MySQL releases and, of course, also some new MySQL Router ones.Most importantly, we also had MySQL Router going back to being a level 7 proxy […]

In my previous article, Comparisons of Proxies for MySQL, I showed how MySQL Router was the lesser performing Proxy in the comparison. From that time to now, we had several MySQL releases and, of course, also some new MySQL Router ones.

Most importantly, we also had MySQL Router going back to being a level 7 proxy capable of redirecting traffic in case of R/W operations (see this).

All these bring me hope that we will also have some good improvements in what is a basic functionality in a router: routing.

So with these great expectations, I had to repeat the exact same tests I did in my previous tests, plus I tested for MySQL Router only the cost of encapsulating the select inside a transaction.

Just keep in mind …

When working with group replication, MySQL router would be the obvious choice for the connection layer. It is tightly coupled with the rest of the technologies since it is part of the InnoDB cluster stack.The problem is that except for simple workloads, MySQL router’s performance is still not on par with other proxies like Haproxy […]
