Some time ago, we decided to run KeyChest on a database cluster. Once we actually did it, I started doubting wisdom of this decision and it took a few months to get beyond the stability of a single-node MySQL database. I’ve written a blog post that the encryption should be just as simple as databases

MySQL InnoDB Cluster - HowTo #1 - Monitor your cluster

Q: How do I monitor the status & the configuration of my cluster?

A: Use status() or status({extended:true}) or status({queryMembers:true})?

Everywhere I go to present MySQL InnoDB Cluster, during the demo of creating a cluster, many people doesn’t understand why when I’ve 2 members, my cluster is not yet tolerant to any failure.

Indeed when you create a MySQL InnoDB Cluster, as soon as you have added your second instance, you can see in the status:

    "status": "OK_NO_TOLERANCE",      
    "statusText": "Cluster is NOT tolerant to any failures.",

Quorum

Why is that ? It’s because, to be part of primary partition (the partition that holds the service, the one having a Primary-Master in Single Primary Mode, the default mode), your partition must reach the majority of nodes (quorum). In MySQL InnoDB Cluster (and many other cluster solutions), to achieve quorum, the amount of members in a partition must be > (bigger) than 50%.

So when we have 2 nodes, if there is a network issue between the …

SQL Where Clause Example | SQL Where Query Tutorial is today’s topic. The WHERE clause is used to filter the database records. The WHERE clause is used to extract only those records that fulfill the specified condition. The SQL WHERE clause is used to specify the condition while fetching the data from a single table or by joining the multiple tables. If a given condition is satisfied, then only it returns the specific value from the table. You should use a WHERE clause to filter the records and fetching the necessary records.

SQL Where Clause Example

The WHERE clause is not only used in the SELECT statement; it is also used in an UPDATE, DELETE statement. The syntax of a SELECT statement with a WHERE clause is following.

SELECT column1, column2, columnN 
FROM table_name
WHERE [condition]

“SELECT column1, column2, column3 FROM tableName” is the standard …

In my previous post, some time ago, I wrote about the new cluster feature of ProxySQL. For that post, we were working with three nodes, now we’ll work with even more! If you’ve installed one ProxySQL per application instance and would like to work up to more, then this post is for you. If this is new to you, though, read my earlier post first for more context.

Check the image below to understand the structure of “one ProxySQL per application”. This means you have ProxySQL installed, and your application (Java, PHP, Apache server etc) in the same VM (virtual machine).

Having taken a look at that you probably have a few questions, such as:

• What happens if you have 20 nodes …

In MySQL, historically GROUP BY was used to provide sorting as well. If a query specified GROUP BY, the result was sorted as if ORDER BY was present in the query.

mysql-5.7> CREATE TABLE t (id INTEGER,  cnt INTEGER);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql-5.7> INSERT INTO t VALUES (4,1),(3,2),(1,4),(2,2),(1,1),(1,5),(2,6),(2,1),(1,3),(3,4),(4,5),(3,6);
Query OK, 12 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Records: 12  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql-5.7> SELECT id, SUM(cnt) FROM t GROUP BY id;
+------+----------+
| id   | SUM(cnt) |
+------+----------+
|    1 |       13 |
|    2 |        9 |
|    3 |       12 |
|    4 |        6 |
+------+----------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

MySQL here implicitly sorts the results from GROUP BY (i.e.…

Throughout this tutorial, we'll be using PHP with React and Axios to create a simple REST API application with CRUD operations. In the backend we'll use PHP with a MySQL database.

The PHP backend will expose a set of RESTful API endpoints so we'll be using the Axios library for making Ajax calls from the React.js UI.

We'll also see how to handle forms in React and how to send multipart form data with Axios using FormData.

In this tutorial, we are going to integrate React with PHP using Babel in the browser and a <script> tag. As such, we'll serve the React application from PHP so we don't need to enable CORS in our server since both the backend and frontend are served from the same domain.

We'll see the other approach of using two separate servers for the frontend and backend apps in another tutorial which will use the create-react-app to create the React project.

So I was recently asked to look into why the updated MySQL 5,.6 was slower than the older 5.5 

So I started by poking around looking over the standard variables and caches and etc.

The test case was a simple routine that took about twice as long to run on 5.6 than it did on 5.5. 

To add to the mix.. the 5.6 version had double the Innodb_buffer_pool_size and of course more ram overall.  

So I started some tests with MySQLslap...

Mysqlslap tests show it slower on 5.6 

5.6:
mysqlslap --defaults-file=./.my.cnf --concurrency=150 --iterations=130 -query=/test.sql --create-schema=applicationdata --verbose 
Benchmark
Average number of seconds to run all queries: 0.028 seconds
Minimum number of seconds to run all queries: 0.019 seconds
Maximum number of seconds to run all queries: 0.071 seconds

MySQL InnoDB Cluster was introduced in MySQL version 5.7 and consists of three parts – Group Replication, MySQL Shell and MySQL Router. MySQL InnoDB Cluster provides a complete high availability solution for MySQL. In this post, I am going to explain how to setup a three-node cluster using the MySQL Shell.
