The MySQL Router is evolving quickly, seemingly following fast in areas that matter for InnoDB Cluster. For instance, this blog post from Jan Kneschke in MySQL-Router 8.0.16 an http webserver was added to support monitoring and management of the router instance.  The webserver stages the way for those things at least, which is great next… Read More »

MySQL is one of the most popular relational database platforms in the world. As such, it is used as the backend of many mission-critical applications across all sectors of business and industry. If you are a DBA or database developer there is a high probability that you are working with MySQL now or will be in the near future.

One of the primary responsibilities of a DBA is to optimize the performance of their databases. There are many ways to accomplish this feat, and all of them have an important point in common. You need knowledge concerning the operation of your systems before you can expect to make intelligent modifications to them. All of the methods used to tune and optimize your databases are identified by studying metrics regarding their current performance and using this data to plan appropriate action.

The right tools are required to gather the information needed to …

Hope everyone aware about known about LVM(Logical Volume Manager) an extremely useful tool for handling the storage at various levels. LVM basically functions by layering abstractions on top of physical storage devices as mentioned below in the illustration.

Below is a simple diagrammatic expression of LVM

         sda1  sdb1   (PV:s on partitions or whole disks)
           \    /
            \  /
          Vgmysql      (VG)
           / | \
         /   |   \
      data  log  tmp  (LV:s)
       |     |    |
      xfs  ext4  xfs  (filesystems)

IOPS is an extremely important resource, when it comes to storage it defines the performance of disk. Let’s not forget PIOPS(Provisioned IOPS) one of the major selling points for AWS and other cloud vendors for production machines such …

Somebody asked me how to expand a prior example with the static variables so that it took arguments at the command line for the variables. This example uses Python 3 new features in the datetime package.

There’s a small trick converting the string arguments to date data types. Here’s a quick example that shows you how to convert the argument list into individual date data type variables:

#!/usr/bin/python3

# include standard modules
import sys
from datetime import datetime

# Capture argument list.
fullCmdArguments = sys.argv

# Assignable variables.
beginDate = ""
endDate = ""

# Assign argument list to variable.
argumentList = fullCmdArguments[1:]

# Enumerate through the argument list where beginDate precedes endDate as strings.
try:
  for i, s in enumerate(argumentList):
    if (i == …

This tutorial explains how to use the MySQL CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() function with the help of examples. By using it, you can convert or display the current date and time. The output format is either ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM: SS’ format or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, which depends on the context of the calling function, whether it is numeric or string. The […]

A commonly encountered scenario is when EBS volumes are not performing at the expected theoretical performance. Let’s look at some of the potential reasons for that and how we can “fix” it. (When I say EBS volume, I am talking about SSDs specifically. I rarely see HDDs in use anymore.)

Planning for success

First of all, keep in mind that theoretical IOPS are based on an IO size of 16KB. If you are doing 32KB operations and have a volume rated 1000 IOPS, it means you effectively have 500 IOPS available.

Instance type is closely related to IO performance. When working with databases, you want to use an EBS-optimized instance type. This ensures dedicated bandwidth is available to the IO layer. In addition to that, instance types have a cap on bandwidth and IOPS. So when picking your instance type, don’t base the …
