For security reasons some context require you to setup a user account locking policy. Thus an unauthorized user is not able (anymore) to login to the MySQL server. In this 3rd article of the MySQL 5.7 Security series, we will see how to [un]lock a user account.

Today, yet another blog post about improvements in MySQL 8.0 related to Performance_Schema. Before MySQL 8.0 it was not always easy to get an example of the queries you could find in Performance_Schema when looking for statements summaries. You had to link several tables (even from sys) to achieve this goal as I explained it in this post.

Now in MySQL 8.0, we have changed the table events_statements_summary_by_digest. This table now contains 6 extra columns:

• QUANTILE_95 : stores the 95th percentile of the statement latency, in …

So first I have posted in sometime as felt I should be. I have been very busy still working with MySQL and all related forks and failed to put out blogs as I felt I should. So I will work on that.

Now That being said I recalled the other day a website I used to love because it was a common VI cheat sheet list. The syntax you know , you know you need it, but type it 3 times until it right. When it does get entered right you look at it dumbfounded , I thought I wrote that already.

So I figured why not a simple list of common MySQL commands that we all either type 50 times a month or should know like the back of our hand but forget when the client is looking over our shoulder.
For starters..
We set up a new MySQL 5.7.6+ server and log in..
Need to change password before we can do anything. But it is Alter user not Set pass.
We want to know how to read the password still as …

In this blog post, we’ll look at how to navigate some of the complexities of multi-source GTID replication.

GTID replication is often a real challenge for DBAs, especially if this has to do with multi-source GTID replication. A while back, I came across a really interesting customer environment with shards where multi-master, multi-source, multi-threaded MySQL 5.6 MIXED replication was active. This is a highly complex environment that has both pros and cons, introducing risks as a trade-off for specific customer requirements.

This is the set up of part of this environment:

I started looking into this setup when a statement broke replication between db1 and db10. Replication broke due to a statement executed on a schema that was not present on db10. This also …

Please join Percona’s Principal Support Engineer, Sveta Smirnova, as she presents Basic External MySQL Troubleshooting Tools on March 15, 2018 at 10:00 am PDT (UTC-7) / 1:00 pm EDT (UTC-4).

In my troubleshooting webinar series, I normally like to discuss built-in instruments available via the SQL interface. While they are effective and help to understand what is going on, external tools are also designed to make life of a database administrator easier.

In this webinar, I will discuss the external tools, toolkits and graphical instruments most valued by Support teams and customers. I will show the main advantages of these tools, and provide examples on how to effectively …

Excelente artigo. Me ajudou bastante.

With MySQL 8.0, the error logging subsystem has been redesigned to use the new component architecture.

Thanks to this new redesign, now the log events can be filtered, the output can be sent to multiple destinations (different formats like JSON). All that is controlled by system variables.

This work gives the possibility for a log event to become the raw material for log processing by more modern and automated systems like filebeat for beats, …

Windowing Functions are new to MySQL with Version 8.  I have been very lucky in the past few days to find two excellent resources that I want to share with you.  Both are worth the time and effort to study.

At the Southern California Linux Expo last week, Bruce Momjian of EnterpriseDB and PostgreSQL fame gave an amazing tutorial on Common Table Expressions and Windowing Functions (slides for both at https://momjian.us/main/presentations/sql.html).  Bruce is an amazing presenter and I highly recommend going to his sessions at conferences. So, what can a MySQL-er learn from a Postrgrestian?

Plenty.

In this case the two databases are using SQL and the features that turn that language from descriptive to imperative. But showing how these features is very hard.  Bruce said it took him six years to finish …
