Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is a free and open-source platform for managing and monitoring MySQL®, MongoDB®, and PostgreSQL performance. You can run PMM in your own environment for maximum security and reliability. It provides thorough time-based analysis for MySQL®, MongoDB®, and PostgreSQL® servers to ensure that your data works as efficiently as possible.

In this release, we are introducing support for detection of our upcoming PMM 2.0 release in order to avoid potential version conflicts in the future, as PMM 1.x will not be compatible with PMM 2.x.

Another improvement in this release is we have updated the Tooltips for Dashboard MySQL Query Response Time by providing a description of what the graphs display, along with links to related documentation resources. An example of Tooltips in action:

ProxySQL in its versions up to 1.x did not natively support Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC). Instead, it relied on the flexibility offered by the scheduler. This approach allowed users to implement their own preferred way to manage the ProxySQL behaviour in relation to the Galera events.

From version 2.0 we can use native ProxySQL support for PXC.. The mechanism to activate native support is very similar to the one already in place for group replication.

In brief it is based on the table [runtime_]mysql_galera_hostgroups and the information needed is mostly the same:

• writer_hostgroup: the hostgroup ID that refers to the WRITER
• …

MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) is a bit limited related to support of older MySQL versions. So you should consider the following release matrix:

I just encountered the problem described in the title, on a server I don’t have enough free space for create a backup as long the replica is catching up, because the relay logs eats all the available free space as the IO thread works faster than the SQL thread in the replication. What to do? […]

Network is a major part of a database infrastructure. However, often performance benchmarks are done on a local machine, where a client and a server are collocated – I am guilty myself. This is done to simplify the setup and to exclude one more variable (the networking part), but with this we also miss looking at how network affects performance.

The network is even more important for clustering products like Percona XtraDB Cluster and MySQL Group Replication. Also, we are working on our Percona XtraDB Cluster Operator for Kubernetes and OpenShift, where network performance is critical for overall …

The X DevAPI allows you to work with JSON documents and SQL tables at the same time. Furthermore, the CRUD style API is more intuitive than SQL statements for some programmers. Either way, the X DevAPI allows you to mix JSON documents, SQL tables, CRUD methods, and SQL statements to give you the best of all worlds. In MySQL Connector/Python, the X DevAPI is implemented in the mysqlx module.

This blog will look at how MySQL Connector/Python handles expressions, and how you in version 8.0.14 and later need to use the mysqlx.expr() method to explicitly define expressions.

Migrating from Oracle to MySQL/Percona Server is not a trivial task. Although it is getting easier, especially with the arrival of MySQL 8.0 and Percona announced Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 GA. Aside from planning for your migration from Oracle to Percona Server, you must ensure that you understand the purpose and functionality for why it has to be Percona Server.

This blog will focus on Migrating from Oracle to Percona Server as its specific target database of choice. There's a page in the Oracle website about SQL Developer Supplementary Information for MySQL Migrations which can be used as a reference for the planned migration. This blog will not cover the overall process of migration, as it is a …
