Recently, we had an edge case where a MySQL slave went out-of-sync but it couldn’t be rebuilt from scratch. The slave was acting as a master server to some applications and it had data was being written to it. It was a design error, and this is not recommended, but it happened. So how do you synchronize the data in this circumstance? This blog post describes the steps taken to recover from this situation. The tools used to recover the slave were pt-slave-restart, pt-table-checksum, pt-table-sync and mysqldiff.

To illustrate this …

MariaDB OpenWorks happened February 25 – 27, 2019 in New York City. It was filled with plenty of activity.

The keynote by Michael Howard, C.E.O. of MariaDB, is an interesting watch, one with many quoted articles especially around “strip-mining open-source technologies and companies,” and “abusing the license and privilege, and not giving back to the community.” Many articles were written about this topic, and it’s clear that open-source has arrived considering all of the success around the IBM acquisition of Red Hat, the Elastic I.P.O., the Microsoft acquisition of GitHub, the SalesForce acquisition fo MuleSoft and the MongoDB I.P.O.

Seppo Jaakola, the C.E.O. of Codership, talked about …

In this tutorial, you'll create an example REST API CRUD Angular 7 application with PHP and MySQL back-end.

You will be creating a simple RESTful API that supports GET, POST, PUT and DELETE requests and allow you to perform CRUD operations against a MySQL database to create, read, update and delete records from a database.

For the application design, It's a simple interface for working with vehicle insurance policies. For the sake of simplicity, you are only going to add the following attributes to the policies database table:

number which stores to the insurance policy number, amount which stores the insurance amount.

This is of course far from being a complete database design for a fully working insurance system. Because at least you need to add other tables like employees, clients, coverage, vehicles and drivers etc. And also the relationships between all these entities.

Prerequisites

In …

In the previous tutorial, you have implemented the PHP and MySQL backend that exposes a REST API for working with an insurance database. Let's now create the Angular 7 backend.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use HttpClient to make HTTP calls to a REST API and use template-based forms to submit data.

Now that you've created the RESTful API with a PHP script, you can proceed to create your Angular 7 project.

Installing Angular CLI 7

The recommended way of creating Angular projects is through using Angular CLI, the official tool created by the Angular team. The latest and best version yet is Angular CLI 7 so head back to another terminal window and run the following command to install the CLI: $ npm install -g @angular/cli

Note: This will install Angular CLI globally so make sure you have configured npm to install packages globally without adding sudo in Debian systems and macOS or using an …

In this talk, we take a look at the whole stack and I don’t just mean LAMP.

We’ll cover what an attack surface is and some areas you may look to in order to ensure that you can reduce it.

Acronym Hell, what do they mean?

One of the great things about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is its flexibility. An example of that is how one can go beyond the exporters to collect data. One approach to achieve that is using textfile collectors, as explained in  Extended Metrics for Percona Monitoring and Management without modifying the Code. Another method, which is the subject matter of this post, is to use custom queries.

While working on a customer’s contention issue I wanted to check the behaviour of InnoDB Mutexes over time. Naturally, I went straight to PMM and didn’t find a graph suitable for my needs. No graph, no problem! Luckily anyone can enhance PMM. So here’s how I made the …

On previous posts about Group Replication consistency we:

1. introduced consistency levels;
2. explained how to configure the primary failover consistency;
3. presented how to configure transaction consistency levels to achieve the consistency required by your applications.

In blog 3. we presented the consistency levels: EVENTUAL, BEFORE, AFTER and BEFORE_AND_AFTER; their scopes: SESSION, GLOBAL; and their context: whether they only impact the ongoing transaction or all concurrent transactions.…
