[Read more]In this blog post, I’ll examine when looking at raw MySQL query logs can be more useful than working with tools that only have summary data.
In my previous blog post, I wrote about analyzing MySQL Slow Query Logs with ClickHouse and ClickTail. One of the follow-up questions I got is when do you want to do that compared to just using tools like Percona Monitoring and Management or VividCortex, which provide a beautiful interface for detailed analyses (rather than spartan SQL interface).
MySQL Logs
…[Read more]Due to continuous development and improvement, Percona Server for MySQL incorporates a number of improvements related to binary log handling and replication. This results in replication specifics, distinguishing it from MySQL Server.
Temporary tables and mixed logging format Summary of the fix:
As soon as some statement involving temporary tables was met when using a mixed binlog format, MySQL switched to row-based logging for all statements until the end of the session (or until all temporary tables used in the session were dropped). This is inconvenient when you have long-lasting connections, including replication-related ones. Percona Server for MySQL fixes the situation by switching between …
[Read more]In this blog post, I’ll look at point-in-time recovery (PITR) options for MySQL, MariaDB and Percona Server for MySQL.
It is a common good practice to extend data safety by having additional measures apart from regular data backups, such as delayed slaves and binary log backups. These two options provide the ability to restore the data to any given point in time, or just revert from some bad accidents. These methods have their limitations of course: delayed slaves only help if a deadly mistake is noticed fast enough, while full point-in-time recovery (PITR) requires the last full backup and binary …
[Read more]In this blog post, we demonstrate a new feature in ProxySQL Admin: support for multiple clusters.
In a previous blog post, Ramesh and Roel introduced a new tool that helps configured Percona XtraDB Cluster nodes into ProxySQL. However, at that time it only worked for a single cluster per ProxySQL Admin configuration. Starting from …
[Read more]In this blog post, we’ll look at how to approach pt-table-checksum errors.

Therefore, as Percona Support Engineers we have customers often asking questions related to the pt-table-checksum errors and warnings produced.

[Read more]In this blog post, we’ll compare the performance of pattern matching queries vs. full-text indexes.
In my previous blog post, I looked for a
solution on how we can search only a part of the email address
and how can we make faster queries where the condition is
email LIKE '%n.pierre%'. I showed two possible ways
that could work. Of course, they had some pros and cons as well
but were more efficient and faster than a like
'%n.prierre%'.
But you could also ask why I would bother with this? Let’s add a FULLTEXT index, and everybody is happy! Are you sure about that? I’m not. Let’s investigate and test a bit. (We have some nice blog posts that explain how FULLTEXT …
