This post was originally published in June 2020 and was updated in February 2025. While there is no magic bullet for MySQL performance tuning, there are a few areas that can be focused on upfront that can dramatically improve the performance of your MySQL installation. While much information has been published on this topic over […]

The Oracle HeatWave MySQL service offers users the flexibility to modify DB system shapes and configuration, enabling them to adapt to changing workloads and enhance performance.

In this blog post we'll share insights into the latest changes related to DB system shape and configuration changes, mostly focusing on the high availability and read replicas support.

OCI Database Management and OCI Ops Insights services deliver advanced capabilities to simplify the monitoring of External MySQL databases, offer detailed granular insights, and reduce the burden of managing infrastructure resources. Additionally, as a cloud-native, managed solution, these services eliminate the need to maintain the monitoring solution itself.

This article is focused on describing the latest performance benchmarking executed on the latest release of MySQL and Percona. 

In this set of tests I have used the machine described here.  

Assumptions

There are many ways to run tests, and we know that results may vary depending on how you play with many factors, like the environment or the MySQL server settings. However, if we compare several versions of the same product on the same platform, it is logical to assume that all the versions will have the same “chance” to behave well or badly unless we change the MySQL server settings. 

Because of this, I ran the tests changing only things in a consistent way, with the intent to give the same opportunity to each solution., with the clear assumption that if you release your product based …

Data copying and migration are essential database tasks that arise frequently. Many tools assist database professionals in performing these tasks, with dbForge Studio for MySQL standing out as the most reliable solution.

Large tables can pose challenges for many operations when working with a database. Occasionally, we may need to modify the table definition. Since RDS replication does not use asynchronous for its replication, the typical switchover procedure is not feasible. However, the Blue/Green feature of RDS utilizes asynchronous replication, which allows us to update the table […]

In this blog post, we will explore how to use MySQL's spatial features to analyze the similarity of trajectories. We will focus on key metrics such as Frechet distance, which measures the similarity between two trajectories, and other geometric operations that help quantify how closely different paths align.

This functionality is available in MySQL Community and Enterprise Editions and HeatWave MySQL.

Transforming GPS coordinates into trajectories in MySQL involves organizing raw GPS points (as POINT geometries) into ordered paths and converting them into LINESTRING geometries. This process uses MySQL's spatial functions like ST_Collect to aggregate points and requires ensuring proper ordering (e.g., by timestamp or sequence) to construct accurate routes.
