Hello all. Last months have been busy for me with various tasks, and one of them is finally done and released in MySQL 8.0.14 : LATERAL derived tables. All details are in my post on mysqlserverteam. I think it is a useful addition to our SQL capabilities. Enjoy!

While the PMM team works hard on our PMM 2.0 release, we have been working on a few things in the background which we’d like to show off !  In particular we have developed a new dashboard that displays metrics related to memory usage on Linux systems. The dashboard leverages information collected by node_exporter. The graphs take advantage of  /proc filesystem files, specifically:

• meminfo: Provides information about distribution and utilization of memory. This varies by architecture and compile options.
• vmstat: Provides information about block IO and CPU activity in addition to memory.

…

In the just-released MySQL 8.0.14 I added a feature called LATERAL derived tables.

The manual describes the syntax and has examples of how the feature can be used to find greatest values in tables. In the present post I’m going to consider a different problem solved by LATERAL: let’s say that we have a bunch of nodes, and want to make a “random graph”, by connecting every node to other nodes.…

Database Security is important to any MySQL setup. Users are the foundation of any system. In terms of database systems, I generally think of them in two distinct groups:

1. Application, service, or program users - basically customers or clients using a service.
2. Database developers, administrators, analyst, etc… - Those maintaining, working with or monitoring the database infrastructure.

While each user does need to access the database at some level, those permissions are not all created equal.

The slow query log is the trusted old method of recording slow query, so the database administrator can determine which queries are in the most need for optimization. Since MySQL 5.6, it has to some extend been overshadowed by the Performance Schema which has lower overhead and thus allows collecting statistics about all queries. The slow query log has one major advantage though: the data is persisted. In MySQL 8.0.14 which was recently released, there is an improvement for the slow query log: additional statistics about the recorded queries.

In a MySQL hosting replication setup, the parameter Seconds_Behind_Master (SBM), as displayed by the SHOW SLAVE STATUS command, is commonly used as an indication of the current replication lag of the slave. In this blog post, we examine how to understand and interpret this value in various situations.

Possible Values of  Seconds Behind Master

The value of SBM, as explained in the  MySQL documentation, depends on the state of the MySQL slave in general, and the states of MySQL slave SQL_THREAD and IO_THREAD in particular. While IO_THREAD connects with the master and reads the updates, SQL_THREAD applies these updates on the slave. Let’s examine the possible values of SBM during different states of the MySQL Slave.

When SBM Value is Null
