Ideas, releases, practical guides, and perspectives from the people building with MySQL.
Group Replication enables you to create fault-tolerant systems with redundancy by replicating the system state to a set of servers. Even if some of the servers subsequently fail, as long it is not all or a majority, the system is still available.…

[Read more]When I speak about MySQL performance troubleshooting (or frankly any other database), I tend to speak about four primary resources which typically end up being a bottleneck and limiting system performance: CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network.
It would be great if when seeing what resource is a bottleneck, we could also easily see what queries contribute the most to its usage and optimize or eliminate them. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as it may seem.
First, MySQL does not really provide very good instrumentation in those terms, and it is not easy to get information on how much CPU usage, Disk IO, or Memory a given query caused. Second, direct attribution is not even possible in a lot of cases. For example, disk writes from flushing data from the InnoDB buffer pool in the …

Date and time values are some of the most important datatypes in
an RDBMS. From tracking order dates to payroll hours,
DATE and DATETIME datatypes are used in
all types of applications. At times as a Developer, you may need
only certain portions of a DATE or
DATETIME value. In MySQL, the EXTRACT()
function can provide you with a specific component of a
DATE or DATETIME value depending on
which INTERVAL is given as a parameter. Continue

understanding…
