One of the problems that comes with age is that there is so much 'baggage' filling valuable brain area that it sometimes requires a mental sweeping before trying to learn a new skill. I am still getting rid of FORTRAN and COBOL factoids but need to come up to speed on extending MySQL for some talks I am giving.  So away with the PROCEDURE DIVISION stuff... 

The MySQL Shell or Mysqlsh is very extensible and it is easy to create a plugin for some handy routines.  Your routines can go in functions and there are examples below.  The tricky part is that you have to tell Mysqlsh that you are creating an extension and then hook up your function(s) to that extension object. Finally that extension object has to be registered with the shell.

So below are two functions which query the MySQL World Database for the contents of the world.city and the world.country tables.  The first thing for both of these …

Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.23-14 was released last week and I wanted to take a minute to call out some of the interesting new features that we have introduced in this release. These are included in addition to the features and improvements in MySQL 8.0.23 that were introduced by the Oracle MySQL team (and to which Percona also contributed).

Hashicorp Vault Plugin Support for KV Secrets Engine – Version 2 (PS-5364)

As of Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.23-14, the Hashicorp Vault plugin can be configured to specifically use either V1 or V2 Secrets Engine API or it can be configured to probe and auto-detect the best version to use.

 As introduced in a previous blog RonDB enables us to easily execute benchmarks on RonDB using the Sysbench benchmark.

In this blog I will present some results where the RonDB cluster had 2 data nodes, each using a r5.4xlarge VM in AWS that has 16 VCPUs and 128 GB memory. The Sysbench test uses SQL to access RonDB.

In this particular test case we wanted to test the Key-Lookup performance using SQL. Key-Lookup performance is essential in the RonDB use case as an online Feature Store in Hopsworks.

In this case we use the …

In the previous blog, we were able to setup a MySQL NDB Cluster replication between one source and one replica cluster. In this blog, we will discuss about replication between one source and three replica clusters.

Note: With MySQL version (8.0.21), we have started changing the term “master” to “source”, the term “slave” to “replica”. So in this blog we will refer these terms ‘source’ and ‘replica’ wherever applicable.

The main advantage of this type of topology is good for giving ‘local’ reads in geographically distant areas as well as increased redundancy in case of issues.

Let’s create four MySQL NDB Cluster with the following environment, from which one will be termed as ‘source’ cluster while the rest will be ‘replica’ clusters.

• MySQL NDB Cluster version (Latest GA version)
• 1 Management node
• 4 Data nodes …

In this blog series, we will discuss various MySQL NDB Cluster replication topologies possible with a demonstration. We will start with a simple case i.e. one source (formerly called master) and one replica (formerly called slave).

Note: With MySQL version (8.0.21), we have started changing the term “master” to “source”, the term “slave” to “replica”. So in this blog we will refer these terms ‘source’ and ‘replica’ wherever applicable.

Let’s create two MySQL NDB Cluster with the following environment, from which one will be termed as ‘source’ cluster while the other one will be ‘replica’ cluster. For now, let’s stick to the identical environment from both the cluster. Later in the following blog series, we will change the environments and will run the replication.

• MySQL NDB Cluster version (Latest GA version)
• 1 Management node
• 4 Data nodes …

This blog post is the third part of the series of blogs about indexes in MySQL. In the second part of the blog post series about MySQL indexes, we covered indexes and storage engines and touched upon some PRIMARY KEY considerations. The discussion included how to match a column prefix, some FULLTEXT index considerations, and how you should use B-Tree indexes with wildcards and how to use ClusterControl to monitor your queries' performance, subsequently, indexes. 

In this blog post, we will go into some more details about indexes in MySQL: we will …

The architecture of the world’s most popular open source database system is very important for the Information Technology people. There are many reasons for MySQL’s popularity around the world, but one of the main reasons is its architecture, while there are many big players such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL and DB2, MySQL’s architecture makes it as unique and preferred choice for most of the developers. In this article, we are going to discuss about of the internal architecture of the MySQL relational database management system. The article is for novice database administrators, database developers, software developers and those who are interested to work with MySQL database.Major components The MySQL architecture describes how the different components of a MySQL system relate to one another. The MySQL architecture is basically a client – server system. MySQL database server is the server and the applications which are connecting to MySQL …
