MySQL has over the years grown into a considerable family of products and components. Years ago, someone running MySQL would typically have a single Server instance. Advanced users might have two and run replication. These days, MySQL is much more of a distributed system, offering advanced replication technology for HA, load balancing, systems for monitoring […]

In this blog post, we’ll look at how you can verify query performance using ProxySQL.

In the previous blog post, I showed you how many information can you get from the “stats.stats_mysql_query_digest” table in ProxySQL. I also mentioned you could even collect and graph these metrics. I will show you this is not just theory, it is possible.

These graphs could be very useful to understand the impact of the changes what you made on the query count or execution time.

I used our all-time favorite benchmark tool called Sysbench. I was running the following query:

UPDATE sbtest1 SET c=? WHERE k=?

There was no index on “k” when I started the test. During the test, I …

This Saturday I will be teaching Database Basics with MySQL and there are literally just two seats  left!  The MySQL Community Team is always looking for ways to reach new audiences and we would like to make this class available to other groups (So let me know if you are interested).

And six hours is a really short time so it only scratches the surface.  Maybe we also need some intermediate classes above and beyond the introduction.

Business has continuously desired to derive insights from information to make reliable, smarter, real-time, fact-based decisions. As firms rely more on data and databases, information and data processing is the core of many business operations and business decisions. The faith in the database is total. None of the day-to-day company services can run without the underlying database platforms. As a consequence, the necessity on scalability and performance of database system software is more critical than ever. The principal benefits of the clustered database system are scalability and high availability. In this blog, we will try to compare Oracle RAC and Galera Cluster in the light of these two aspects. Real Application Clusters (RAC) is Oracle’s premium solution to clustering Oracle databases and provides High Availability and …

This is our second blog in the ProxySQL Series ( Blog I MySQL Replication Read-write Split up ). Will cover how to integrate ProxySQL with MHA to handle failover of Database servers.

We already have Master – Slave replication setup behind ProxySQL from previous blog [ProxySQL On MySQL Replication]

For this setup we have added one more node for MHA Manager , Which will keep eye on Master and Slave status.

• node5 (172.17.0.5) , MHA Manager

ProxySQL can be greatly configured with MHA for …

Did you see Percona at SCaLE 16x? I spent a couple of days there learning about open source software, databases, and other interesting topics. You can get even more open source database information at Percona Live 2018.

SCaLE is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America. It is held annually in the greater Los Angeles area. This year’s event took place on March 8-11, 2018, at the Pasadena Convention Center. SCaLE 16X hosted 150 exhibitors this year, along with nearly 130 sessions, tutorials and special events.

Percona has been attending now for a number of years, and this year was no exception. Besides our booth in the Exhibit Hall, we had two …

In this blog post, we’ll look at how to create PMM custom graphs and dashboards to track what you need to see in your database.

Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)‘s default set of graphs is pretty complete: it covers most of the stuff a DBA requires to fully visualize database servers. However, sometimes custom information is needed in graphical form. Otherwise, you just feel your PMM deployment is a missing a graph.

Recently, a customer request came in asking for a better understanding of a specific metric: table growth, or more specifically the daily table growth (in bytes) for the last 30 days.

The graph we came up with looks like this:
. . .which …
