When using MySQL Group Replication, it’s possible that some members are lagging behind the group. Due to load, hardware limitation, etc… This lag can become problematic to keep good certification behavior regarding performance and keep the possible certification failure as low as possible. Bigger is the applying queue bigger is the risk to have conflicts with those not yet applied transactions (this is problematic on Multi-Primary Groups).
Galera users are already familiar with such concept. MySQL Group Replication’s implementation is different 2 main aspects:
In fact, every member of the Group send some statistics about its queues (applier queue and certification queue) to the other members. Then every node decide to slow down or not if they …
[Read more]Do not use the old mysql api
There are several ways to connect to a MySQL database in PHP. The most common ones are the MySQL API, the MySQLi API and the PDO API (PHP Data Objects). The last two support more features than the old mysql API and are more secure. If you’re using the old “mysql_” functions, you should stop and learn the new PDO API. Those old mysql functions are deprecated and are no longer supported in PHP 7.x.
Bad practice:
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "mypass") or
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("tutorials");
$result = mysql_query("select * from tutorials");
echo "<h2>Here is a list of the topics:</h2>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo $row['name']."<br />";
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
Better practice:

Join Percona’s Senior Architect, Matthew Boehm, as he presents Indexes – What You Need to Know to Get the Most Out of Them on Wednesday, July 5, 2017 at 8:00 am PDT / 11:00 am EDT (UTC-7).
Proper indexing is key to database performance. Find out how MySQL uses indexes for query execution, and then how to come up with an optimal index strategy. In this session, you’ll also learn how to know when you need an index, and also how to get rid of indexes that you don’t need to speed up queries.

Long time no post.... :-)
Here's something interesting.
Last week I decided to give MySQL 5.7 a try (yes, I am kinda
conservative DBA...) and the very same day that I installed my
first 5.7 replica I noticed that, after changing my own password
on the 5.6 master, I could no longer connect to the 5.7
slave.
Very annoying, to say the least! So I went and dug out the root
password (which we do not normally use) and when I connected to
the slave I was surprised to see that my password's hash on the
5.7 slave was different than the hash on the 5.6 master. No
wonder I couldn't connect....
A bit of research on the MySQL documentation and I understood
that 5.7 introduced few changes around the way you work with
users' passwords. SET PASSWORD is now deprecated in favour
of ALTER USER: see MySQL 5.7 Reference Manual …
Does it matter how many indexes I create?
A general rule of thumb is that the more indexes you have on a table, the slower INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations will be.
Indexes in MySQL (or any database for that matter) are not static. Every time we update the table (for example, using an INSERT query), the relevant indexes are updated by MySQL. Otherwise, they will be useless in the next search query that will need them.
Therefore, adding indexes shouldn’t be taken lightly, as it’s actually a performance trade off which must be balanced properly. The more indexes you add on a set of columns / table, the slower INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements will be. On the other hand, search operations will be optimized using those indexes.
This article will not describe the methodologies of choosing the correct indexes, but will teach you how to find and remove redundant indexes from your MySQL database.

[Read more]“Spark and Ignite can complement each other very well. Ignite can provide shared storage for Spark so state can be passed from one Spark application or job to another. Ignite can also be used to provide distributed SQL with indexing that accelerates Spark SQL by up to 1,000x.”–Nikita Ivanov.
I have interviewed Nikita Ivanov,CTO of GridGain.
Main topics of the interview are Apache Ignite, Apache Spark and
MySQL, and how well they perform on big data analytics.
