When doing migrations or failovers in MySQL, there is usually a need to do a topology change and repoint replica servers to obtain replication data from a different server.

For example, given servers {A, B, and C} and the following topology:

If you need to repoint C to be a replica of B, i.e:

You can follow the next steps:

Note: log_replica_updates should be enabled on the soon-to-be primary as it is a prerequisite for chain replication.

Note: It is assumed that both replicas only stream from Server A and there are no conflicting replication filters in place that might break replication later on.

If Using File/Position-Based Replication:

1) Stop B and C

STOP REPLICA;

2) If replicas are multi-threaded, correct MTS gaps and make them …

Storing data is but one part of many in application development. Once data is stored, interested parties will likely want to see it. This is the Read aspect of CRUD – reading (or viewing) the data. Continue reading and see examples using CodeIgniter 4 built-in Model methods…

MySQL, the world’s most popular open source database, is available as a managed cloud service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) under the name of MySQL Database Service (MDS).

This is the seventh episode of “Discovering MySQL Database Service“, a series of tutorials where I will show you, step by step, how to use MySQL Database Service and some other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

In this episode, we’ll discover and use the OCI Bastion service to provide a restricted and time-limited access to administer our MySQL instance.

Here’s a second post focusing on the performance of MySQL on ZFS in cloud environments. In the first post, MySQL/ZFS Performance Update, we compared the performances of ZFS and ext4. This time we’ll look at the benefits of using ephemeral storage devices. These devices, called ephemeral in AWS, local in Google cloud, and temporary in Azure, are provided directly by the virtualization host. They are not network-attached and are not IO throttled, at least compared to regular storage. Not only can they handle a high number of IOPs, but their IO latency is also very low. For simplicity, we’ll name these devices local ephemeral. They can be quite large: Azure lsv2, Google Cloud n2, and AWS i3 instance types offer TBs of fast NVMe local ephemeral storage.

The main drawback of local ephemeral …

We already saw how easy it’s to deploy solutions on OCI using Terraform and Resource Manager’s Stack. I’ve published several resources available on this page.

Today we will see how easy it’s to deploy Apache Superset on OCI using MySQL Data Service.

Apache Superset is an open source BI, Reporting, Charting tool that competes with Tableau, Looker, etc.  For a list of companies that have deployed Superset, see:  https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/master/RESOURCES/INTHEWILD.md.

Superset is loaded with options that make it easy for users of all skill sets to explore and visualize their data, from simple line charts to highly detailed geospatial charts.
