These days, I mostly program in PHP with MySQL as the database, which is just fine by me. I have had a long-time interest in MySQL (SQL in general), and after several steady months of programming in PHP, I must say I have really come into the language and developed a fondness for it. All that being said, I still enjoy using and learning the MySQL Shell in Python mode. As Database Developers, we often need the LAST INSERT ID value from a previous INSERT statement on a column that has the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute. MySQL Shell has a get_auto_increment_value() method we can call against a Shell object result and retrieve that value. Continue reading and see examples of the MySQL Shell get_auto_increment_value() method used in Python mode…

If you have a business no matter how small, you are collecting data, and you need to have your data accessible to make informed decisions about how to make your business better. The more successful you become the more data you are producing and the more you become dependent by it. This is when you start to realize your must have your data in a safe place like a database instead some spreadsheet.

But to put your data in a database is not enough, you must be sure the database will be robust, resilient, and always available when you or your customers need it.

When design architectures for robust database architectures, we always discuss about High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR). These two concepts are elements of the larger umbrella that is the Business continuity plan.

To cover the different needs, we (Database Architects) use/apply two main models: Tightly Coupled cluster, and Loosely Coupled cluster (latest …

X Protocol traffic compression is available on MySQL Server since version 8.0.19. A connector that also supports compression on its end can leverage this feature and reduce the byte streams that are exchanged with the Server.

By default, connections to a MySQL server are uncompressed, thus permitting exchanging data with a client or connector that doesn’t support compression. However, given a client or connector that also supports compression, it is recommended that client and server negotiate the connection compression by default. If this negotiation concludes successfully, both ends can then compress the data they send.

Compression at this level allows reducing the amount of bytes exchanged over the network, but at the cost of additional CPU resources required to run data inflate and deflate operations. The benefits of compression, therefore, occur primarily on low network bandwidth. One can assess the gain or loss due to the …
