If you ever had to deal with performance and/or disk space issues related to temporary tables, I bet you eventually found yourself puzzled. There are many possible scenarios depending on the type of temporary table, settings, and MySQL version used. We have observed a pretty long evolution in that matter due to a couple of reasons. One of them was the need to completely eliminate the need to use the deprecated MyISAM engine, and at the same time introduce more performant and reliable alternatives. Another set of improvements was required related to InnoDB, where it was necessary to lower the overhead of temporary tables using that engine.

For that reason, I decided to gather them in a sort of summary which may help to troubleshoot their usage. Due to vast changes between major MySQL releases, I divided the article by them.

Hey friends over the weekend (Friday actually) I’ve published another issue of my weekly newsletter, OpenLamp.tech. Continue reading for more information…

This issue is full of great curated reads as well as a specific question I’ve asked readers and the community. Looking for some suggestions on planned migrations for upgrades to my WordPress site.

In this post I'd like to explain a big optimization in CRC-32C computation, inspired by a paper by Gopal, V., et al.: "Fast CRC computation for iSCSI Polynomial using CRC32 instruction" from Intel, which landed in MySQL 8.0.27 and hugely increases the processing speed (the improvement for ARM64 architectures is more pronounced for reasons explained later in the post).

In a serverless world, traditional databases scale differently. They need a rock solid foundation that Vitess and PlanetScale can provide.

Identity is a critical component of security. In the latest release of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) MySQL Database Service (MDS) users can be authenticated using OCI IAM (IAM and New! IAM Identity Domains), providing increased security, centralized management, and ease of use. MDS DBAs can leverage an individual user's identity in OCI IAM as well as map to groups of users within OCI IAM and IAM Identity Domains.

While exporting the table with MySQL native utility, we don’t have any control on the process, and also there will be no progress update as well on the process completion. So when exporting the larger table will consume high resource utilization and also the disk space usage will also be high.

MySQL shell utility will make the process easier. It will export the table and we can import the data back with a parallel thread and also will provide the current progress status on export/import progress.

util.exportTable() utility was introduced in Shell – 8.0.22 version, will export the data in a controlled manner. We can store the data in either local or Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage bucket as well.

We will see about the compression ratio along with the time taken for native MySQL vs Shell utility

• Compression
• Progress status
• Supported output …
