Your database cluster contains your most business-critical data and therefore proper performance under load is critical to business health. If response time is slow, customers (and staff) get frustrated and the business suffers a slow-down.

If the database layer is unable to keep up with demand, all applications can and will suffer slow performance as a result.

To prevent this situation, use load tests to determine the throughput as objectively as possible.

In the sample load.pl script below, increase load by increasing the thread quantity.

You could also run this on a database with data in it without polluting the existing data since new test databases are created to match each node’s hostname for uniqueness.

Note: The examples in this blog post assume that a Connector is …

Error Message: ERROR 1396 (HY000): Operation CREATE USER failed for 'admin'@'%'
Generic Error Message:Operation %s failed for %s
Error Scenario:Operation CREATE USER failed
Operation DROP USER failed

Reason:The reason for this error is, you are trying to do some user operation but the user does not exist on the MySQL system. Also, for drop user, the user details are stored somewhere in the system, even though, you have already dropped the user from MySQL server.
Resolution:Revoke all access granted to the user, drop the user, and run FLUSH PRIVILEGE command to remove the caches. Now create/drop/alter the user, it will work.
REVOKE ALL ON *.* FROM 'user'@'host';DROP USER 'user'@'host';FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Grant Tables:The following tables will help you in identifying the user related informations (as of MySQL 5.7):

mysql.user: User accounts, global privileges, and other non-privilege …

You all heard about that today AWS announced that RDS is started to support GTID Transactions. I’m a great fan of RDS but not for GTID. Since RDS has better settings and configurations to perform well. Many of you people read about the AWS What’s new page regarding GTID. But here we are going to talk about the actual benefits and drawbacks.

RDS supports GTID on MySQL 5.7.23 or later. But AWS released this version on Oct10 (two days before). So, for now, this is the only version which supports GTID.

NOTE: GTID supports only for RDS, its not available for Aurora. It may support in future)
Update : 27 March 2019: Aurora MySQL 5.7 supports GTID. Find the relavent link below.

Before configuring the GTID, lets have a look at what is GTID?

• GTID stands for Global Transaction Identifier.
• It’ll generate a …

The 2018 MySQL Community Reception is October 23rd in a new venue at Samovar Tea, 730 Howard Street in San Francisco at 7:00 PM.   Right in the heart of the Moscone Center activities for Oracle OpenWorld and Oracle Code one activities.

Plus we have a few new surprises this year! 

The first four steps on how to start a Software Quality Team for MySQL Cluster from ground up

On June 2018, the first ever re-organization of the Oracle MySQL Cluster group occurred. As in other companies, there’s a moment when a larger group is broken down into smaller teams each owning a part of the overall process/code-base/tasks. While in some cases the new teams are just a formalization of an already-existent informal structure, in others a new team emerges to answer specific long-term needs.
In MySQL Cluster group, such team was the Quality Team which I have become responsible for. The long-term needs were getting the grips on testing infrastructure, ensure reliable test execution and reporting, and evolve current infrastructure to support developers in creating better tests.
As soon as the team was formed, the first challenge was to define the first steps to start this team. Here are the first four steps our …

There are a number of options for generating ID values for your tables. In this post, Alexey Mikotkin of Devart explores your choices for generating identifiers with a look at auto_increment, triggers, UUID and sequences.

AUTO_INCREMENT

Frequently, we happen to need to fill tables with unique identifiers. Naturally, the first example of such identifiers is PRIMARY KEY data. These are usually integer values hidden from the user since their specific values are unimportant.

When adding a row to a table, you need to take this new key value from somewhere. You can set up your own process of generating a new identifier, but MySQL comes to the aid of the user with the AUTO_INCREMENT column setting. It is set as a column attribute and allows you to generate unique integer identifiers. As an example, consider the …
