MySQL 8.0 General Availability release was launched in April 2018, and since then there have been ten versions of MySQL 8 and Percona Server for MySQL released. The MySQL Community expressed a high opinion of the MySQL 8.0 advantages, so a lot of databases have been successfully upgraded to the new version. But many of them still need to be up to date.

Percona has prepared a free course “How to Upgrade to MySQL 8.0” that helps you with this task.

It is a series of useful videos for 3-4 minutes. At the end of the course, you can pass the QUIZ and get a certificate.

Guide to Migrate Production MySQL Database running on On-premises to Oracle Cloud MySQL Database Service(MDS) ?

I have one production database which i would like to migrate into Oracle Cloud PaaS model i.e MySQL Database Service , we will walk through on how to migrate customerDB database from On-premises to Oracle Cloud MySQL Database Service(MDS).

Note:- Recommended is to have MySQL DB On-Premises and MDS  both must have same version i.e 8.0 and Utility shell MySQL shell must be 8.0.21 onwards.

make sure app is disconnected and not allowing any traffic during the migration process.

We will use two new features introduced with latest release of MySQL 8.0.21.

1.       Dump Schema Utility

a.       This will help us to take the backup from On-promises database and export  to Oracle Cloud Object …

You have a MySQL instance? Great. You want to take it to a cloud? Nothing new. You want to do it fast, minimizing downtime / service outage? “I wish” I hear you say. Pull up a chair. Let’s have a chinwag. Given the objective above, i.e. “I have a database server on premise and I want the data in the...

First of all, pt-table-checksum is perfect for checking if the master and its slaves are in-sync. It answers the question “Are the slaves consistent with the master?”. However, if they’re not, pt-table-checksum doesn’t actually tell you what exactly is wrong.

master# pt-table-checksum -q
TS ERRORS DIFFS ROWS CHUNKS SKIPPED TIME TABLE
09-03T22:21:10 0 1 2 1 0 0.013 mysql.proxies_priv
09-03T22:21:10 0 1 9 1 0 0.010 mysql.user

From pt-table-checksum to pt-table-sync

Nevertheless, pt-table-sync may give you a partial answer. It can print SQL statements to sync the replication cluster. Thus, reading the SQL code, you may guess what records were missing/extra or differ.

master# pt-table-sync --print --replicate percona.checksums localhost
DELETE FROM `mysql`.`proxies_priv` WHERE `host`='slave.box' AND `user`='root' AND `proxied_host`='' AND …

These are the slides of the “Efficient Use Of Indexes In MySQL” talk we delivered on the SFMySQL Meetup.

This is an introductory talk for developers on MySQL indexes. In my opinion, it’s quite important to understand how InnoDB organizes data. If you know how MySQL accesses data, it’s easier to write optimal queries.

When working with queries, I imagine secondary indexes as a table with records sorted by secondary key fields. This is a powerful concept that helps to understand the MySQL logic. It’s also easy to understand complex optimizations like loose index scan.

For example, for index (last_name, rank) the secondary index table looks like:

As a Database Engineer in Mydbops. We tend to solve multiple complex problems for our esteemed customers. To control the System resources and scale up /down based on needed we are evaluating Dockers and Kubernetes.

Docker is a set of platform as a service products that uses OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called Containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.It’s more lightweight than standard Containers and boots up in seconds.

Docker also is easy to use when you need a simple, single instance. What is great about Docker though is that it allows configuring multiple versions of MySQL.

Docker Installation:

Docker can be installed with yum repository or apt-get repository based on your linux …
