Right before FOSDEM kicked off, the preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days returned to the usual place in Brussels for two packed days (Jan 29-30, 2026). The format stayed true to what makes this event special: a friendly, hallway-track-heavy gathering with serious technical content — this year running two parallel tracks and the grand final: the RockStars […]

We are pleased to introduce the ability to export MySQL HeatWave backup data directly to an OCI Object Storage bucket in your tenancy, enabling a one-step process to create an exported backup via the Console or API. This process creates a logical dump from the backup without utilizing DB system resources, thereby minimizing the impact on the […]

This week’s annual preFOSDEM MySQL Belgian Days in Brussels are not only an opportunity to celebrate, but also a chance for Oracle to share some key updates on […]

As AI workloads become standard in modern applications, engineering teams face a familiar dilemma: MySQL is already the system of record, but vector search typically requires bolting on a separate database. MyVector and ProxySQL solve this without fragmenting your data stack.

The new protocol dissector for X Protocol in MySQL was just merged to the master branch in Wireshark. To get it build Wireshark from the master branch or wait for the next release.

This protocol is using Google Protobuf, which makes it much easier to work with than the regular MySQL protocol.

ProxySQL v4.0 adds a transparent AI layer at the proxy — RAG pipelines, NL2SQL, and an MCP server for AI agents — without touching your database or application code.

MySQL 8.0 is scheduled for End of Life (EOL) in April 2026. In line with this milestone, we previously announced in this Oracle blog post that all existing MySQL HeatWave instances running version 8.0 would be automatically upgraded to the latest supported 8.4 release after April 2026. However, understanding the operational realities and planning cycles […]

MySQL is taking a significant step forward by rethinking how foreign key constraints and cascades are managed. Starting with MySQL 9.6, foreign key checks and cascade operations will be handled directly by the SQL engine rather than the InnoDB storage engine. This improvement addresses long-standing challenges with change tracking, binary log replication, and data consistency, making […]

When a replica fails due to corruption or drift, the standard solution is to rebuild it from a fresh copy of the master when pt-table-sync is not an option. Traditionally, when we need to build a new replica, we use a physical backup for speed, but there are some cases where you still need logical […]
