We have a quickstart guide for how to install Percona Distribution for MySQL Operator on minikube. Installing the minimal version works well as it is described in the guide. After that, we will have one HAproxy and one Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) node to work with.

Minikube provides Kubernetes locally. One can try using the provided local k8s to try the more advanced scenarios such as the one described here.

Following that guide, everything works well, until we get to the part of deploying a cluster with

deploy/cr.yaml

Even after that, things seemingly work.

$ kubectl get pods

Working through our chapter on MySQL views, I wrote the query two ways to introduce the idea of SQL tuning. That’s one of the final topics before introducing JSON types.

I gave the students this query based on the Sakila sample database after explaining how to use the EXPLAIN syntax. The query only uses only inner joins, which are generally faster and more efficient than subqueries as a rule of thumb than correlated subqueries.

SELECT   ctry.country AS country_name
,        SUM(p.amount) AS tot_payments
FROM     city c INNER JOIN address a
ON       c.city_id = a.city_id INNER JOIN customer cus
ON       a.address_id = cus.address_id INNER JOIN payment p
ON       cus.customer_id = p.customer_id INNER JOIN country ctry
ON       c.country_id = ctry.country_id
GROUP BY ctry.country;

It generated the following tabular explain plan output:

If you are looking to improve the performance of MySQL databases in your software, you may need to know all the differences between InnoDB and MyISAM, two well-known types of MySQL storage engines. And if you are about to choose one of them, we believe you would like to find out what each of them […]

Connecteam is a SaaS company that provides an employee management solution for deskless teams. Over the last couple of years, we’ve been growing tremendously and we recently started to face one of the hardest technical challenges: horizontal scaling. In the era of cloud computing, provisioning new resources is a breeze, but handling those resources in an efficient manner and providing a five nines uptime while allowing a fast-paced development environment is not an easy undertaking.

As you know, MySQL 8.0 can be used as JSON Document Store to store your documents without being linked to any schema. You can also use CRUD operations to deal with these documents using the MySQL X DevAPI.

Of course in documents, it’s possible to also store temporal attributes like date, time, datetime, …

Let’s see how we can deal with such attributes.

This is an example of a collection of documents with a datetime attribute createdOn:

As those attributes don’t have a real type, can we use the createdOn attribute as if it was a real datetime field ?

Let’s try to get all the documents have a created data > '2021-12-02':

We can see that the document “dave” has been filtered out. However, we can see that “kenny” and “miguel” are also present… and this is correct as …

For a long time, MyDumper has been in Max Bubenick’s personal GitHub repository. Now, we decided to move to a new MyDumper’s Organization as requested earlier this year by a user from the community.

There were also two other reasons why we decided to move it. The first one is related to how the project is evolving, and the second is that it will allow us to implement integrations to other projects.

We can see the evolution of the project, noting the increase in commits of the last year:

We tried to keep the release cycle every two months, focusing on closing as many bugs as possible and implementing new features requested. It was not an easy task, as lots of changes had to be implemented in mydumper and myloader engine to allow the new features to be developed. 

AWS has just announced the general availability of Aurora MySQL 8 compatibility (known as Aurora Version 3). This is long awaited addition to RDS MySQL 8 and provides many of the new features that can be found in the open-source MySQL 8 community version.

For those unfamiliar with Amazon Aurora my Understanding AWS RDS Aurora Capabilities presentation from Percona Live 2021 provides a great introduction of the benefits of this managed service.

There is a lot to digest and the …
