           MySQL is the most widely used  Relational Database Management System in the open source world. MySQL stepped into the NoSQL world by introducing the JSON Data Type in MySQL 5.7 release. In this blog post I am going to explain one of the major advantage of optimisation made in JSON Replication .

This was done from the MySQL 8.0.3 release.

What happened before 8.0.3 ?

Before MySQL 8.0.3, Whatever changes (Updates) made in JSON document, it will log as a full document in binary log & replicate the same into slave. The JSON data is stored as a blob internally. Below is an example of how it is logged as full document in binary log ?

Example –

Server version - 5.7.22-log MySQL Community Server (GPL)

My Binlog settings, …

LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache 2.4 web server on an Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) server with PHP 7.2 support (mod_php) and MySQL / MariaDB and how to setup an SSL certificate with Let's encrypt. Additionally, I will install PHPMyAdmin to make MySQL administration easier. A LAMP setup is a perfect basis for CMS systems like Joomla, Wordpress or Drupal.

One of the big features of MySQL 8.0 is geography support. MySQL now has a catalog of spatial reference systems (SRSs), of which almost 500 are geographic. Most functions also support geographic computations. What about indexes?

MySQL 8.0 comes with InnoDB spatial indexes for geographic data.…

On March 22, 2018, we held a webinar on how Percona XtraDB cluster 5.7 (PXC) and ProxySQL can help achieve your database clustering high availability needs. Firstly, thanks to all the attendees for taking time to attend the webinar and we are sure you had a webinar experience. We tried answering some of your high availability questions during the call but due to time restrictions if we missed some of the questions then this blog will help clarify them.

Q. You say the replication to servers is virtually synchronous, if there is any latency, does ProxySQL detect this and select a node accordingly?

A. PXC nodes are …

Recently I worked on one customer issue that I would describe as “slave performance too slow”. During a quick analysis, I’ve found that the replication slave SQL thread cannot keep up while processing row-based events from the master’s binary log.

For example:

mysql> SHOW SLAVE STATUSG
*************************** 1. row ***************************
                          ...
              Master_Log_File: binlog.0000185
          Read_Master_Log_Pos: 86698585
                          ...
        Relay_Master_Log_File: binlog.0000185
             Slave_IO_Running: Yes
            Slave_SQL_Running: Yes
