Query attributes have in a long time been used to add metadata to queries to provide additional context such as where in the application the query was generated. The traditional way to do this is to add a comment at the start of the query with the attributes. Since the MySQL parser ignores the comment, it does not change the semantics of the query, but various tools can extract the comments.
This post looks into the reasons for using query attributes, how it is done using a comment, and the new component for MySQL 8.0.23 that provides native support for query attributes.
Advice
Query attributes are also known as query tags.
Why Query Attributes?
At the surface, it may seem that there is no major benefit from having metadata attached to a query – after all it is ignored by MySQL. However, there are good reasons. The …

In March 2020, my book MySQL 8 Query Performance Tuning (Apress) was
released. That book with its more than 900 pages in 27 chapters
covered a wide range of topics from executing benchmarks with
sysbench over indexes and the optimizer to query
rewriting, replication, and caching. Some time later my editor
Jonathan Gennick suggested to take a limited set of the topics
and go into more detail. We settled on locks and transactions
which together have become MySQL Concurrency.
If you have already read MySQL 8 Query Performance Tuning, you may wonder what the new book offers compared to the previous one. In some way, you can think of MySQL Concurrency to be a second and expanded edition for the content on locks and transactions. Of course, given MySQL Concurrency is limited to those two topics, it has also been …

A common approach is to have a floating virtual IP (VIP) managed by keepalived as the application endpoint. The proxies have to be strategically provisioned to improve the resiliency of the solution (different hardware, network segments, etc,).
When we consider cloud environments, spreading instances across many availability zones (AZ) is considered a best practice, but that presents a problem regarding VIP handling.
Per definition, VPC subnets have to be created in a specific AZ, and subnet IP ranges can’t overlap with one another. An IP address cannot simply be moved to an instance on a different AZ, as it would end up in a subnet that doesn’t include it.
So in order to use the VIP method, we …
