MySQL Server has a feature where you can insert data into a table from a file with the data delimited by commas, tabs, or another delimiter. This is particularly useful when you need to bulk import data, for example when restoring a backup or migrating data from one system to another including from another database product than MySQL. The mysqldump backup utility is an example of a program that supports exporting the data to delimited text files.

The statement to load the data is LOAD DATA INFILE. By default the file must be server-side and MySQL …

In this post, we’ll cover Percona’s thoughts about the current MySQL community discussion happening around MySQL LOCAL INFILE security issues.

This post is released given the already public discussion of this particular issue, with the exploitation code currently redacted to ensure forks of MySQL client libraries have sufficient time to implement their response strategies.

This post has been updated to now include previously redacted content, in line with responsible disclosure sufficient time has passed to allow forks to update and get those updates out for circulation.

What a great place for informal interactions, strengthening the network, and hearing the latest news from the grapevine! Last weekend 1.-3. Feb 2019, over 8000 developers met in Brussels for FOSDEM 2019. For the overall atmosphere, take a look at this 1:05 long video by Sofia Ek. MariaDB Foundation was present with six staff people […]

Most software applications nowadays involve some dynamic data storage for extensive future reference in the application itself. We all know data is stored in a database which falls into two categories that are: Relational and Non-relational DBMS.

Your choice of selection from these two will fully depend on your data structure, amount of data involved, database performance and scalability.

Relational DBMS store data in tables in terms of rows such that they use Structured Querying Language (SQL) making them a good choice for applications involving several transactions. They include MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL.

On the other hand, NoSQL DBMS such as …

Glimpse of MySQL Enterprise Data Masking Abstract- Many organizational production environment unwittingly breach sensitive information which causes harm of reputation, brand name and million of dollar losses etc. hence database environments will require some form of sanitization in order to render the informational content anonymous. In this paper, we outline research towards a business challenge-why mask your data and the business value- benefits of masked data. We describe a definition of concept, performance measurements of sql query with/without masked data and limitation of data masking with current release of MySQL.

Those of you who know me know that I don’t travel often.

So it’s kind of a big deal, at least for me, that I will be at OpenWorks in NYC later this month!!!

If you’re planning on attending, please stop by and say “hi”! I’ll be helping in the Security Workshop on Monday, or you can find me at one of the Expert Bars Tuesday and Wednesday.

If you’re on the fence about attending, please message (or email) me for a significant discount code (if that might help you decide or help persuade your manager!).

Anyway, I’m excited to be going, and I hope to see you there!

MariaDB OpenWorks

Dates: February 25th – February 27th

Oracle’s website shows End of life for MySQL 5.5 as of Jan 20th of 2019, so hurry up and upgrade!

I am working building some demos for Cloud SQL and one of the requirements I had was to run MySQL 5.7 and WordPress as my sample application. The demo consisted on migrating from a single VM environment with WordPress and MySQL running alongside. The narrative: the site got popular and the database became the bottle neck because of all the shared resources between them and the application. The proposed solution? A minimal downtime migration to Cloud SQL, moving the data layer to a dedicated server.

I am going to be doing this demo a lot of times, so I needed some way to automate it. I thought of doing through Docker. I am not Docker proficient, and to begin with I asked …

I would like to highlight a less known MySQL SQL command, analyze how it works and understand some of the decisions that need to be made when using it.

Let’s start with the basics: The Reference Manual.

It does have a lot to say about LOAD DATA.…
