In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the options available when purging binary logs. We’ll look at how to safely purge them when you have slaves in your topology and want to avoid deleting any binary log that still needs to be applied.

We generally want to ensure that, before purging the binary logs from the master, all logs were applied to the slaves to avoid halting them. The example error below is a classic case of a binary log purged before being applied on the slave:

Last_IO_Errno: 1236
Last_IO_Error: Got fatal error 1236 from master when reading data from binary log: ‘Could not open log file’

MySQL offers some options to purge of binary logs. One of them is executing the PURGE BINARY LOGS command. The  …

What is an InnoDB Buffer Pool?

InnoDB buffer pool is the memory space that holds many in-memory data structures of InnoDB, buffers, caches, indexes and even row-data. innodb_buffer_pool_size is the MySQL configuration parameter that specifies the amount of memory allocated to the InnoDB buffer pool by MySQL. This is one of the most important settings in the MySQL configuration and should be configured based on the available system RAM.

In this post, we’ll walk you through two approaches of setting your InnoDB buffer pool size value, examine the pros and cons of those practices, and also propose a unique method to arrive at an optimum value based on the size of …

Please join Percona’s Principal Support Engineer, Sveta Smirnova, as she presents Effective Testing for Live Applications on March 29, 2018, at 10:00 am PDT (UTC-7) / 1:00 pm EDT (UTC-4).

When an application is hit with trouble in a live production environment, it is often difficult to:

• Repeat a problematic scenario without the risk of making things worse
• Find which query or sequence of actions caused the issue
• Prepare a dataset to share with the support team that they can use to investigate the problem

At the same time, it is not possible to solve troubles without understanding what caused them. This is why it is necessary to clearly …

In this post, I’ll discuss the fix for lp:1704195 (migrated to PS-2503), which prevents

ANALYZE TABLE

 from blocking all subsequent queries on the same table.

In November 2017, Percona released a fix for lp:1704195 (migrated to PS-2503), created by Laurynas Biveinis. The fix, included with Percona Server for MySQL since versions 5.6.38-83.0 and 5.7.20-18, stops

Please join Percona’s Principal Architect in Architecture & Projects, Yves Trudeau, as he presents ZFS with MySQL on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, at 7:00 am PDT (UTC -7) / 10:00 am EDT (UTC -4).

Are you curious about ZFS? Would you like to learn how to setup and configure ZFS? What about ZFS with MySQL?

ZFS on Linux has matured a lot. It offers unique features that are extremely compelling for use with a database server like MySQL.

During this webinar, we’ll review the main characteristics of ZFS, and walk through the configuration of ZFS and MySQL in order to provide good performance levels and superior ease-of-management. We will also cover aspects like backups using snapshots, cloning snapshots to create local slaves, the …

Indeed, our team has done a huge work in to meet our customers’ needs and expectations. In a bid to fulfill this objective, we have enhanced our renowned MySQL GUI […]

In this post, we’ll look at the MySQL 8.0 innodb_dedicated_server variable.

MySQL 8.0 introduces a new variable called innodb_dedicated_server. When enabled, it auto tunes innodb_buffer_pool_size, innodb_log_file_size and innodb_flush_method at startup (if these variables are not explicitly defined in my.cnf).

The new MySQL 8.0 variable automatically sizes the following variables based on the RAM size of the system:

innodb_buffer_pool_size:

• • <1G: 128M(default value if innodb_dedicated_server is OFF)
  • <=4G: Detected Physical RAM * 0.5
  • >4G: Detected Physical RAM * 0.75

innodb_log_file_size: …

Introduction:

At Mydbops we support a good number of clients on AWS cloud (Aurora and RDS).

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is providing the cloud based database service. It is the cost-efficient, resize able & ease to manage. As in any other DBaaS, If you need to analyse the log files (Error log / Slow log), you need to login the console and manually download the files.

Logging into the console seems simple, But this is a bit complex operation when it comes to incorporate that in a day to day operation and automation. In this blog i would like to share my experience in making this into a straightforward process for downloading the log files directly from command line without console GUI.

Prerequisites:

Following tools are to be installed for this operation.
