Imagine you need to design an online system for storing documents on a per-user basis where nobody, including database administrators, would be able to change the content of those documents without being noticed by document owners.

In Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.28-20, we added a new component called Encryption UDFs – an open-source alternative to MySQL Enterprise Encryption that allows users to access a number of low-level OpenSSL encryption primitives directly from MySQL. This includes calculating digests (with a great variety of hash functions), asymmetric key generation (RSA, …

Sure, wait event times in any database will include some CPU time, though ideally it should be minimal. Waits should be instrumented as close to the off CPU wait event as possible, i.e. if I’m doing an IO, then I want the wait to cover just the read call:

start_wait('my_read_wait');
pread( ... );
end_wait('my_read_wait');

So my function that sets up the read will do some CPU that could get caught under the cover of the wait itself and the call to pread will use some CPU but most of the time should be waiting for the actual I/O if the I/O is coming from storage.

start_wait('my_lock');
semtimedop(...);
end_wait('my_lock');

On MySQL I’ve noticed that average active sessions on CPU are often well below what the host reports as CPU utilization. For example if I have one connection on CPU a 100% of the time on a 2 vCPU host then CPU Utilization should be around 50%.  There might be …

I’m sharing another tip for anyone who wants to learn more about MySQL and how to use it. This post covers an example of the differences in columns specified in the WHERE clause but not the SELECT clause and vice-versa.

When performing physical backup on system that are heavily used, it can happen that the backup speed cannot keep up with the redo log generation. This can happen when the backup storage is slower than the redo log storage media and this can lead in inconsistency in the generated backup.

MySQL Enterprise Backup (aka MEB) and probably Percona Xtrabackup, benefit from the possibility to sequentially write redo log records to an archive file in addition to the redo log files.

This feature was introduced in MySQL 8.0.17.

How to enable it ?

To enable this feature, two settings are necessary:

• set globally a directory where those archiving logs can be stored
• start the archiving process in a session by calling a dedicated function

The global variable is …
