Yesterday, I published an article explaining how to easily deploy Apache Superset on OCI using MySQL HeatWave Database Service.

There are some people not using the automation or not using MySQL HeatWave Database Service on OCI but want to still use Superset with MySQL 8.0.

In this blog, we will see how to fix eventual errors when performing the installation manually.

SQL Alchemy Dialect Configuration

When using MySQL 8.0, in Superset’s config file, you need to specify the SQLAlchemy URI like this:

SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = 'mysql+mysqlconnector://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<superset_schema>'

It is important to specify the database backend and dialect: mysql+mysqlconnector.

Of course you need to install the MySQL …

How to deploy Apache Superset with MySQL HeatWave and how to benefit from HeatWave's query accelerator.

Overview Modern cloud applications (like microservice or serverless apps) are distributed systems composed of many interconnected services and service instances. Without observability in place, it is often difficult to troubleshoot issues within such complex systems. The OCI Application Performance Monitoring (APM) service provides observability for end-to-end visibility and diagnosis across the entire IT environment. Using distributed transaction […]

One of the hidden gems in the MySQL documentation is this note in section 8.3.6: As an alternative to a composite index, you can introduce a column that is “hashed” based on information from other columns. If this column is short, reasonably unique, and indexed, it might be faster than a “wide” index on many columns. We will build on this idea by creating generated hash columns for indexed lookups on large values and enforcing uniqueness across many columns. Instead of creating huge composite indexes, we'll index the compact generated hashes for fast lookups. Before diving into generated hash columns, let's look at generated columns in general. Generated columns in MySQL A generated column can be considered a calculated, computed, or derived column. It is a column whose value results from an expression rather than direct data input. The expression can contain literal values, built-in functions, or references to other columns. The result of …
