The Question Recently, a customer asked us:

What is the meaning of this error message found in trepsvc.log?

2019/05/14 01:48:04.973 | mysql02.prod.example.com | [east - binlog-to-q-0] INFO pipeline.SingleThreadStageTask Performing rollback of possible partial transaction: seqno=(unavailable)

Simple Overview The Skinny

This message is an indication that we are dropping any uncommitted or incomplete data read from the MySQL binary logs due to a pending error.

The Answer Safety First

This error is often seen before another error and is an indication that we are rolling back anything uncommitted, for safety. On a master this is normally very little and would likely be internal transactions in the trep_commit_seqno table, for example.

As you may know with the replicator we always extract complete transactions, and so this particular message is …

This is a CRITICAL update and the fix mitigates the issues described in CVE-2019-12301. If you upgraded packages on Debian/Ubuntu to 5.6.44-85.0-1, please upgrade to 5.6.44-85.0-2 or later and reset all MySQL root passwords.

Issue

On 2019-05-18 Percona discovered an issue with the Debian/Ubuntu 5.6.44-85.0-1 packages for Percona Server for MySQL. When the previous versions, upgraded to the new version PS 5.6.44-85.0-1 on deb based systems, the MySQL root password was removed allowing users to login to the upgraded server as MySQL root without specifying a password.

Scope

This issue is limited to users who upgraded with the Debian/Ubuntu package 5.6.44-85.0-1 for Percona Server for MySQL v. 5.6. Newer versions (v. 5.7 and above) and new …

In this blog, we will see how to do a flashback recovery or rolling back the data in MariaDB, MySQL and Percona.

As we know the saying  “All humans make mistakes”, following that in Database environment the data modified accidentally can bring havoc to any organisations.

Recover the lost data

• The data can be recovered from the latest full backup or incremental backup when data size is huge it could take hours to restore it.
• From backup of Binlogs.
• Data can also be recovered from delayed slaves, this case would be helpful when the mistake is found immediately, within the period of delay.

We can use anyone of the above ways or other that can help to recover the lost data, but what really matters is, What is the …

The Question Recently, a customer asked us:

Why would Tungsten Replicator be slow to apply to MySQL?

The Answer Performance Tuning 101

When you run trepctl status and see:
appliedLatency : 7332.394
like this on a slave, it is almost always due to the inability for the target database to keep up with the applier.

This means that we often need to look first to the database layer for the solution.

Here are some of the things to think about when dealing with this issue:

Architecture and Environment
√ Are you on bare metal?
√ Using the cloud?
√ Dev or Prod?
√ Network speed and latency?
√ Distance the data needs to travel?
√ Network round trip times? Is the …
