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.

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.12 is a maintenance release for the 6.9.x series
of the .NET driver for MySQL. It can be used for production
environments.

It is appropriate for use with MySQL server versions 5.5-5.7.

It is now available in source and binary form from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloadsandmirrorsites
(note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point-if you
can’t find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose
another download site.)

Note: C/NET 6.9 will not be supported any more. If users are looking to get latest
updates on C/NET, they should upgrade to using C/NET 6.10 and 8.0 series instead.

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

        Relay_Master_Log_File: binlog.0000185

            Slave_SQL_Running: Yes

MySQL Document Store

In MySQL 8.0 a new stack of components is introduced, turning MySQL to a competitive Document Store solution.

The MySQL Document Store takes advantage of existing capabilities including:

• Efficient and safe data management from the InnoDB storage engine
• ACID compliance and Transactional Operations
• High Availability with Group Replication and InnoDB cluster

One of the most attractive components introduced in MySQL 8.0 is a development API (DevAPI) that enables you to create JSON document based applications through a fluent API.…

Any software system requires secrets to run, be it credentials to communicate with databases, tokens to access resources, or encryption keys that need to be distributed. Secrets management means to deal with all kinds of secrets in a structured and secure way. In this blog entry we will show how to use Hashicorp Vault to […]

MySQL 8.0 has many new GIS features, including a catalog of spatial reference systems (SRSs) and support for geographic (latitude-longitude) computations.

In a Cartesian SRS, it doesn’t really matter which coordinate is on which axis. The axes are orthogonal and the units are the same on both axes, so if a user consistently puts the X value in the Y coordinate and the Y value in the X coordinate, it doesn’t affect computations (in the functions MySQL currently supports).…
