SQL Injection Example | What Is SQL Injection is today’s topic. An SQL injection is a code injection technique that may lead to destroying your database. It is one of the most common web hacking techniques. It can also be defined as placement of malicious code in SQL statements from a web page input. Attackers can use the SQL Injection vulnerabilities to bypass the application security measures.

#What Is SQL Injection(S.I.)

SQL Injection (SQLi) is the type of injection attack that makes it possible to execute the malicious SQL statements. These statements control the database server behind a web application.

The SQL Injection vulnerability may affect any website or web application that uses the SQL database such as SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, or others.

Cyber Criminals may use it to gain the unauthorized access to your sensitive data like customer information, personal data, trade …

SQL Views Example | Views In SQL Tutorial is today’s topic. SQL views is a kind of virtual tables which have rows and columns as they are in a real database. A view can be accompanied with all the rows of a particular table or selected rows based on a certain condition. In Structured Query Language, a view is a virtual table based on the result-set of an SQL statement.

SQL VIEWS

SQL view contains rows and columns, just like the real table. The fields in the view are fields from one or more real tables in the database. You can add the SQL functions, WHERE, and JOIN statements …

Are you looking to get started with the world’s most popular open-source database, and wondering how you should setup your MySQL hosting? So many default to Amazon RDS, when MySQL performs exceptionally well on Azure Cloud. While Microsoft Azure does offer a managed solution, Azure Database, the solution has some major limitations you should know about before migrating your MySQL deployments. In this post, we outline the best way to host MySQL on Azure, including managed solutions, instance types, high availability replication, backup, and disk types to use to optimize your cloud database performance.

MySQL DBaaS vs. Self-Managed MySQL

The first thing to consider when weighing between self-management and a MySQL Database-as-a-Service …

SQL Except Clause Example | Except Statement In SQL is today’s topic. The SQL EXCEPT operator is used to combine two select statements, which in turn returns the row that is present in the first select statement and not in the second select statement. This Clause acts like a subtract operation that we perform in sets and Venn diagrams.

SQL Except Clause Example

In SQL, EXCEPT returns those tuples that are returned by the first SELECT operation, and not returned by the second SELECT operation.

Introduction In this article, we are going to test the MySQL 8 implementation of custom SQL CHECK constraints. Although the CHECK clause is a standard SQL feature, prior to MySQL 8.0.16, the clause was parsed and ignored, so this functionality could only be emulated via BEFORE INSERT and UPDATE triggers. Custom SQL CHECK constraints As I explained in this article, custom SQL CHECK constraints are very useful to ensure non-nullability constraints for JPA entity subclass-specific attributes when using the SINGLE TABLE JPA inheritance strategy. To understand the problem, consider we have the... Read More

The world seems awash in unstructured, NoSQL data, mainly of the JSON variety.  While this has a great many benefits as far as data mutability and not being locked into a rigid structure there are some things missing that are common in the structured world of SQL databases.

What if there was a way to take this unstructured NoSQL JSON data and cast it, temporarily, into a structured table?  Then you could use all the processing functions and features found in a relation database on you data.  There is a way and it is the JSON_TABLE function.

JSON_TABLE
You can find the documentation for JSON_TABLE here  but there are some examples below that may make learning this valuable function easier than the simple RTFM.

I will be using the world_x dataset for the next example

MySQL Server generates several logs that can help you monitor the activities of the server. However, once these logs are enabled, they can grow in size and start taking up too much disk space. This is why it’s important to have an automated way of archiving and preserving MySQL log files for a certain duration, as well as deleting the old ones. In this blog post, we describe some best practices for setting up and managing MySQL error logs, general logs and slow query logs for your MySQL deployments.

Setting Up MySQL Server Logging

Let’s look at how to setup the following 3 types of logs:

Error Log

Logs all the problems encountered during starting, running, or stopping mysqld. This log can be enabled by having the following option in /etc/my.cnf file:

In this three-part blog series, we introduced a High Availability (HA) Framework for MySQL hosting in Part I, and discussed the details of MySQL semisynchronous replication in Part II. Now in Part III, we review how the framework handles some of the important MySQL failure scenarios and recovers to ensure high availability.

MySQL Failure Scenarios Scenario 1 – Master MySQL Goes Down

• The Corosync and Pacemaker framework detects that the master MySQL is no longer available. Pacemaker demotes the master resource and tries …
