Delayed replication allows a replication slave to deliberately lag behind the master by at least a specified amount of time. Before executing an event, the slave will first wait, if necessary, until the given time has passed since the event was created on the master. The result is that the slave will reflect the state of the master some time back in the past. This feature is supported since MySQL 5.6 and MariaDB 10.2.3. It can come in handy in case of accidental data deletion, and should be part of your disaster recovery plan.

The problem when setting up a delayed replication slave is how much delay we should put on. Too short of time and you risk the bad query getting to your delayed slave before you can get to it, thus wasting the point of having the delayed slave. Optionally, you can have your delayed time to be so long that it …

MySQL8.0: Performance Improvement with new features INSTANT ADD Column

        Abstract- Flexible and dynamic concepts can help to balance maintainability and complexity. With ever bigger and growing dataset, the ability to do DDL instantly will help developers to scale more complex RDBMS solutions.

In this paper, we outline performance measurements of various options of ALTER TABLE algorithm-COPY, INPLACE, INSTANT.

We describe the definition of concept, advantages, and limitations and how it is value add on current business cases based on existing performance test.

Maybe the biggest new feature in MySQL 8 is the new transaction data dictionary that improves the consistency of schema objects among other things. To further protect the data in the data dictionary, the data dictionary tables are hidden and their content only exposed through the Information Schema. (One exception is when you use the debug binary, then it is possible to get direct access to the data dictionary tables. This is not recommended at all on production systems!)

A side effect of the data dictionary tables being hidden is that those that have had a habit of manipulating the tables directly in MySQL 5.7 and earlier (I will not recommend doing that) will no longer be able to do so. Examples of manipulating the tables include …

Thank you for nice information.

I am observing High Memory Usage every time I query below command from MySQL 5.7.22 version. I am not sure if hitting with any bug. Any Idea or hint please?

SELECT table_name, avg_row_length, data_length, max_data_length, index_length, data_free, table_schema FROM information_schema.tables WHERE TABLE_TYPE = ‘BASE TABLE’ AND max_data_length > 0 ORDER BY table_schema ASC;
