MySQL Database Service with HeatWave: 1100x Faster than Amazon Aurora, 400x faster than Amazon RDS, 18x faster than Amazon Redshift at ⅓ the cost.

This blog post will guide you through the MySQL HeatWave references that are available today, from live webinar, to recorded videos, blogs, and more.

Let's start with a quick definition of what is MySQL HeatWave. HeatWave is a new, in-memory query accelerator for MySQL Database Service available only in the Oracle Cloud. It can accelerate performance on large multi-TB datasets, and scale across 1,000s cores. Our benchmark results and customer feedback show that HeatWave accelerates MySQL queries by 400X and is 1/3 the cost of Amazon Redshift.

Oracle MySQL Database Service, with HeatWave, is the only service that enables database admins and app developers to run OLTP and OLAP workloads directly from their MySQL database, eliminating …

Most modern websites and applications ground on data collection, storage, and analysis. Databases take an active part in building the entire Web environment. That’s why it is crucial to ensure correct data retrieval from databases and appropriate ways of data manipulation. To modify your data properly, you will need to execute SQL queries. The current […]

 Is MySQL going invisible?  Invisible Indexes were included in MySQL 8.0 and now with version 8.0.23 we have Invisible Columns.

Indexes You Can Not See!

The value of the invisible index is that it allows you to make an index disappear from the view of the optimizer.  In the distant days before 8.0, you would often delete an index you were pretty much definitively positive nobody or no query was using.  And then you would find out that yes, not only was that index you just deleted necessary to everyone in the galaxy (but maybe you)  but it was going to take some serious clock time to rebuild that index. 

But with Invisible Indexes, you issue a command like ALTER TABLE t1 ALTER INDEX i_idx INVISIBLE; and it was removed from use.  Now you can run EXPLAIN on your queries and compare results.  And if you want that index back among the visible, ALTER TABLE t1 ALTER INDEX i_idx …

HeatWave is designed to enable customers to run analytics on data which is stored in MySQL databases without the need for ETL. This service is built on an innovative, in-memory analytics engine which is architected for scalability and performance and is optimized for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Gen 2 hardware. This results in a very performant solution for SQL analytics at a fraction of the cost compared to other cloud services including AWS Aurora, Redshift, Google Big Query, RDS.

The amount of acceleration an application would observe with HeatWave depends upon a number of factors like the datasize, queries, operators being used in the query, the selectivity of the predicates. For the purpose of comparing, we are considering the TPCH benchmark which has the queries well defined and the only variable is the data size and the system configuration. HeatWave is able handle all workloads with a single shape so that …

This blog is about table partitioning in NDB Cluster. We will see how this feature has been enhanced from version to version. Also we will see which partitioning user should use under which scenario. Here I will assume that the user has some knowledge on NDB cluster.

Data distribution and table partitioning are usually coupled together. In NDB, when we talk about table partitioning, we mean ‘data distribution’ mainly as NDB doesn’t fully support RANGE, HASH or LIST partitioning. Most of the enhancements made to partitioning over the years are about ‘data distribution’ rather than supporting various partitioning schemes. The main goals of data distribution are:

- Balance: Avoid premature bottlenecks of memory, storage, cpu or network
- Scaling: Make use of all resources, add capacity with new resources
- Efficiency: Locality of access and minimal unnecessary data transfer

To …

When you work with AWS Aurora you have limited admin privileges. There are some different grants for MySQL including SELECT INTO S3 and LOAD FROM S3 that replace the loss of functionality to SELECT INTO OUTFILE and mysqldump/mysqlimport using a delimited format. While I know and use lambda capabilities, I have never executed anything with INVOKE LAMDBA directly from the database.

This week I found out about INVOKE COMPREHEND (had to look that product up), and …
