Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.16 is the latest GA release version of the
MySQL Connector Python 8.0 series. The X DevAPI enables application
developers to write code that combines the strengths of the relational

Sysbench has long been established as the de facto standard when it comes to benchmarking MySQL performance. Percona relies on it daily, and even Oracle uses it when blogging about new features in MySQL 8. Sysbench comes with several pre-defined benchmarking tests. These tests are written in an easy-to-understand scripting language called Lua. Some of these tests are called: oltp_read_write, oltp_point_select, tpcc, oltp_insert. There are over ten such scripts to emulate various behaviors found in standard OLTP applications.

But what if your application does not fit the pattern of traditional OLTP? How can you continue to utilize the power of load-testing, benchmarking, …

MySQL master-slave replication is pretty easy and straightforward to set up. This is the main reason why people choose this technology as the first step to achieve better database availability. However, it comes at the price of complexity in management and maintenance; it is up to the admin to maintain the data integrity, especially during failover, failback, maintenance, upgrade and so on.

There are many articles out there describing on how to perform failover operation for replication setup. We have also covered this topic in this blog post, Introduction to Failover for MySQL Replication - the 101 Blog. In this blog post, we are going to cover the post-disaster tasks when restoring to the original topology - …

We are pleased to announce the launch of PMM 2.0.0-alpha1, Percona’s first Alpha release of our long-awaited PMM 2 project! We focused exclusively on MySQL support in our first Alpha (because we wanted to show progress sooner rather than later), and you’ll find updated MySQL dashboards along with enhancements to Query Analytics. We’ve also added better visibility regarding which services are registered with PMM Server, the client-side addition of a new agent called pmm-agent, and finally PMM Server is now exposing an API!

  • Support for large environments – default view all queries from all instances

  • Sorting and more columns – now sort by any …
