As presented at the Percona Live Conference in Austin in May, at Alibaba we are working on adding support for parallel query execution to POLARDB for MySQL. As discussed in the presentation, we observe that parallel range scans on secondary indexes does not scale very well in MySQL. This is old news. Mark Callaghan reported this several years ago, and this does not seem to have changed. In this blog post, I will investigate what effects using a multi-processor machine have on the scalability of parallel index range scans.

I will run a variant of Query 6 of the TPC-H/ …

MySQL InnoDB Cluster is the most easy and integrated High Availability solution for MySQL.

The solution is composed of:

• MySQL Server
• MySQL Group Replication Plugin
• MySQL Clone Plugin
• MySQL Router
• MySQL Shell

All those components are developed and tested together to provide the easiest and best experience to the MySQL users.

As the MySQL Router is a TCP Level 4 router (like HA Proxy), some users requiring a more “intelligent” proxy having other extra features like caching, read/write splitting in relation with the user or SQL, firewall, … may be interested in using ProxySQL… and this is a good choice !

ProxySQL / MySQL Router in OSI Model

However, even is ProxySQL supports MysQL Group Replication, for …

MySQL InnoDB Cluster is easy to configure and deploy.  This article is written to provide 3 group replication parameter settings which may contribute to the stability and reliability of the Network in MySQL InnoDB Cluster.




With MySQL 8.0, there are at least 3 most important parameters in Network Reliability Settings.


1. group_replication_member_expel_timeout
2. group_replication_autorejoin_tries 3. …

Business-Critical MySQL using open source is free, right?

Managed MySQL cloud services do not need database administrators, correct?

Well…

Think again – and watch the replay of this webinar with our partner Datavail hosted by Database Trends & Applications on whether free is good enough for business-critical MySQL database environments.

Listen in as Srinivasa Krishna, MySQL Practice Leader at Datavail, and Eero Teerikorpi, CEO & Founder at Continuent discuss the pros and cons of the DIY approach vs getting professional help in.

In the previous blog in the series we discussed the pros and cons of using Galera Cluster to create geo-distributed cluster. In this post we will design a Galera-based geo-distributed cluster and we will show how you can deploy all the required pieces using ClusterControl.

Designing a Geo-Distributed Galera Cluster

We will start with explaining the environment we want to build. We will use three remote data centers, connected via Wide Area Network (WAN). Each datacenter will receive writes from local application servers. Reads will also be only local. This is …

Since three years of our entity’s progression, Mydbops IT Solutions, Bangalore, have been an active participant of Open Source India (OSI) conference, conducted by Open Source For You Magazine which is part of EFY Group, New Delhi.

This annual event is an attempt by the team at Open Source For You magazine in partnership with India’s Open Source community and industry—to bring various stake-holders under one roof. The mission of OSI is simple—to accelerate development and deployment of Open Source in India, and beyond.

This year our floor presence has been shifted to the Entry Bay itself, contrasting from our previous presence at the sides of an Auditorium. This position is alongside the IT bigwig like, Microsoft. This development, show cases strides made in the past …

It is quite common to see databases distributed across multiple geographical locations. One scenario for doing this type of setup is for disaster recovery, where your standby data center is located in a separate location than your main datacenter. It might as well be required so that the databases are located closer to the users. 

The main challenge to achieving this setup is by designing the database in a way that reduces the chance of issues related to the network partitioning. One of the solutions might be to use Galera Cluster instead of regular asynchronous (or semi-synchronous) replication. In this blog we will discuss the pros and cons of this approach. This is the first part in a series of two blogs. In the second part we will design the geo-distributed …
