We are excited to announce that Vitess now supports recursive Common Table Expressions (CTEs), marking another significant step in our journey to fully align with MySQL’s capabilities. Recursive CTEs, often a critical feature for complex query handling, allow for the execution of recursive queries within a single CTE. This addition brings more flexibility and power to developers using Vitess, especially those working with distributed databases. One of the key challenges in implementing recursive CTEs within a sharded environment is managing the distribution of data across multiple shards.

Percona Operator for MySQL, based on Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC), provides configuration to expose the ProxySQL, HAProxy, and the PXC instances themselves so that you can use Percona Toolkit to connect to MySQL from these endpoints externally. However, you can also create Kubernetes pods to run Percona Toolkit operations there instead if you do not […]

Group replication is a fault-tolerant/highly available replication topology that ensures if the primary node goes down, one of the other candidates or secondary members takes over so write and read operations can continue without any interruptions. However, there are some scenarios where, due to outages, network partitions, or database crashes, the group membership could be broken, or we end […]
