Overview

Change-Data-Capture (CDC) allows capturing committed changes from a database in real-time and propagating those changes to downstream consumers [1][2]. CDC is becoming increasingly popular for use cases that require keeping multiple heterogeneous datastores in sync (like MySQL and ElasticSearch) and addresses challenges that exist with traditional techniques like dual-writes and distributed transactions [3][4].

In databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, transaction logs are the source of CDC events. As transaction logs typically have limited retention, they aren’t guaranteed to contain the full history of changes. Therefore, dumps are needed to capture the full state of a source. There are several open source CDC projects, …

This webinar will cover the advantages and process for migrating from MariaDB/Galera cluster to MySQL InnoDB Cluster.

Are you using Django 3.0? The blog is about Django 2.1, so the instructions won’t work for 3.0.

MySQL auto-positioning is an integral part of replication with GTID, but it’s neither required nor guaranteed to work. It’s possible to enable GTIDs but disable auto-positioning, and it’s possible that one MySQL instance cannot auto-position on another even when GTIDs are used. The former (GTID on but auto-pos off) is an issue for another time. The latter is the topic of this post: when MySQL GTID auto-positioning fails—and how to fix it.

Database administrators are responsible for maintaining the privacy and integrity of data. When the data contains confidential information, your company has a legal obligation to ensure that privacy is maintained. Even so, being able to access the information contained in that dataset, for example for testing or reporting purposes, has great value so what to do? MySQL Enterprise Edition offers data masking and de-identification, so I decided to contribute similar functionality to Percona Server for MySQL. In this post, I provide some background context and information on how to use these new functions in practice.

One of the most important assets of any company is data. Having good data allows engineers to build better …

MySQL and PHP is a love story that started long time ago. However the love story with MySQL 8.0 was a bit slower to start… but don’t worry it rules now !

The support of MySQL 8.0’s new default authentication method in PHP took some time and was added in PHP 7.2.8 but removed in PHP 7.2.11.

Now it’s fully supported in PHP 7.4 !

If you have installed PHP 7.4, you can see that the new plugin auth_plugin_caching_sha2_passwordis now available:

# php -i | grep "Loaded plugins\|PHP Version " | tail -n2
PHP Warning:  Module 'mysql_xdevapi' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
PHP Version => 7.4.0
Loaded plugins => mysqlnd,debug_trace,auth_plugin_mysql_native_password, …

Introduction In this article, we are going to see how a CROSS JOIN works, and we will also make use of this SQL join type to build a poker card game. Database table model For our poker card game application, we have created the ranks and suits database tables: The ranks table defines the ranking of cards, as well as the name and symbol used for each card rank: The suits table describes the four possible categories used by the French playing cards: Cartesian product In the set theory, the Cartesian product...

In my road trip of the Open Source projects using MySQL, after having tested WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, let’s try to install Magento using MySQL 8.0 !

In Magento’s manual, we can see that the project requires MySQL 5.6 and supports 5.7.x since versoin 2.1.2.

In my test, I will use Magento 2.3.3, the latest stable when writing this article.

The manual stipulates that we should use ROW based replication but not GTID because Magento 2 is using CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE inside transactions. …
