In reply to Alex.

the backup user was created only on ic2 for pure demo sake. You’re right, it would be simpler to just allow that user to exist cluster-wide.
Regarding using Router to run the backup against, it would be ideal, but MEB does a local connection to the instance, so I’m afraid this is a limitation MEB has.
Thx

In this blog, we will see how to do a flashback recovery or rolling back the data in MariaDB, MySQL and Percona.

As we know the saying  “All humans make mistakes”, following that in Database environment the data modified accidentally can bring havoc to any organisations.

Recover the lost data

• The data can be recovered from the latest full backup or incremental backup when data size is huge it could take hours to restore it.
• From backup of Binlogs.
• Data can also be recovered from delayed slaves, this case would be helpful when the mistake is found immediately, within the period of delay.

We can use anyone of the above ways or other that can help to recover the lost data, but what really matters is, What is the …

The Question Recently, a customer asked us:

Why would Tungsten Replicator be slow to apply to MySQL?

The Answer Performance Tuning 101

When you run trepctl status and see:
appliedLatency : 7332.394
like this on a slave, it is almost always due to the inability for the target database to keep up with the applier.

This means that we often need to look first to the database layer for the solution.

Here are some of the things to think about when dealing with this issue:

Architecture and Environment
√ Are you on bare metal?
√ Using the cloud?
√ Dev or Prod?
√ Network speed and latency?
√ Distance the data needs to travel?
√ Network round trip times? Is the …

errno: 24 - Too many open files
You might see this error inside MySQL's error log file or during mysql_upgrade operation.

Can't open file: ‘./db/table.frm' (errno: 24 - Too many open files)
To solve this issue, you will need to change the open files limit at system and db service level.

--> To check and change this limit at the system level, we use ulimit client tool to set it dynamically.

* Check current system open file limit.
root@test:~# ulimit -a core file size          (blocks, -c) 0 data seg …

(In the previous post, Part 4, we covered Compression and Bloom Filters)

In this blog post, we continue on our series of exploring MyRocks mechanics by looking at the configurable server variables and column family options. In our last post, I explained at a high level how compression and bloom filtering are applied to data files as they are initially flushed from immutable memtables and are subsequently passed through the compaction process. With that being covered, we should now have a clear understanding as to how data writing works in MyRocks and can start reviewing how data read requests are handled.

The Read Process

Let’s start off by talking about how read processes are handled at the file level. When a read request comes in, the first thing it needs to do is pull the …

At MariaDB Foundation, we are proud of MariaDB Server getting plenty of contributions. But we don’t want to get cocky, so here is an update about where we stand, and what we want to make happen. First, we have shown our contribution pride in several places. On 15 February 2019, I tweeted On code contributions, […]

The post On Contributions, Pride and Cockiness appeared first on MariaDB.org.

As continue of our previous announcement from March 14, please find below a list of shows & conferences where you can find MySQL team at:

• June 2019:

  • OpenSource Conference, Hokkaido, Japan, May 31-June 1, 2019

    • As we already announced MySQL is a Gold sponsor of this OS show. Our MySQL local team is going to staff the MySQL booth in the expo area as well having a MySQL talks as follows:
      • "MySQL Update + MySQL InnoDB Cluster" given by Daisuke Inagaki, the MySQL Principal Solutions Engineer. His talk is being hold on May 31 @13:55.

Q: Validate an instance for MySQL InnoDB Cluster usage?

A: Use check_instance_configuration()

The world seems awash in unstructured, NoSQL data, mainly of the JSON variety.  While this has a great many benefits as far as data mutability and not being locked into a rigid structure there are some things missing that are common in the structured world of SQL databases.

What if there was a way to take this unstructured NoSQL JSON data and cast it, temporarily, into a structured table?  Then you could use all the processing functions and features found in a relation database on you data.  There is a way and it is the JSON_TABLE function.

JSON_TABLE
You can find the documentation for JSON_TABLE here  but there are some examples below that may make learning this valuable function easier than the simple RTFM.

I will be using the world_x dataset for the next example

Monitoring MySQL server has never been an easy task. Monitoring also needs to go through many Complex and difficult queries to get the details.

All these problems can be overcome by an excellent command line monitoring tool  called “Innotop”. Innotop comes with many features and different types of modes/options, which helps to monitor different aspects of MySQL  (InnoDB) performance and also helps database administrator to find out what’s wrong going with MySQL server. Innotop helps in monitoring user statistics, mysql replication status,query list, InnoDB I/O informations etc. Another important thing about innotop is it refreshes the data continuously , so we can view realtime statistics.

Innotop is one of the designed based on top utility for linux.
