This is my next blog series. Im going to write about how I automated many complex tasks in MySQL with Rundeck. In my last series, I have explained RunDeck basics. You can find those articles here. In this blog Im writing about how I automated MySQL archive for multiple tables in one Rundeck job.

Challeange with Replication:

My MySQL database setup has 1 Master 4 Read Replica and the 3’rd replica is an intermediate Master for Replica 4. I don’t want to archive this data on Replica 3 and 4. Because these replicas are using for generating historical reports also some internal application.

Disable Log-Bin:

To prevent archive data on Replica 3 and 4, I decided to disable binlog on my archive session. But another challenge is, it won’t replicate to Replica 1 and 2. So my final solution is Archive the data on Master, then execute the …

Enjoy!

A covering index is a fantastic query performance optimization. An index covers a query when the index has all the data needed to execute the query, so the server can retrieve the query’s data without reading any rows or documents. Covered queries are usually SELECT queries, but in addition to reads, indexes can cover portions of what a write query needs to do its work.

In this article I’ll explain what a covering index is in a bit more detail; the technical implementation and caveats in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB; and how to check that a query is using a covering index.

What’s a Covering Index?

A covering index, or index-covered query, doesn’t refer just to an index. Instead, it’s the combination of a query and an index: the index covers the query. An index that covers one query might not cover another query, so “covering” doesn’t solely describe the index, …
