Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Connector/ODBC 5.3.8, a new version of the ODBC driver for the MySQL database management system, has been released.
The available downloads include both a Unicode driver and an ANSI
driver based on the same modern codebase. Please select the
driver type you need based on the type of your application –
Unicode or ANSI.
Server-side prepared statements are enabled by default. It is
suitable for use with any MySQL version from 5.5.
This is the fourth release of the MySQL ODBC driver conforming to
the ODBC 3.8 specification. It contains implementations of key
3.8 features,
including self-identification as a ODBC 3.8 driver, streaming of
output parameters (supported for binary types only), and support
of the SQL_ATTR_RESET_CONNECTION connection attribute (for the
Unicode driver only).

In this blog post, we are going to test load balancer solution for MySQL high availability by integrating it with Keepalived, HAProxy, xinetd software components.
High availability databases use an architecture that is designed to continue to function normally even when there are hardware or network failures within the system.
Why we need this?
Let’s take a scenario where we have MySQL Multi-Master / MASTER-SLAVE replication setup for high availability. In the case of Hardware/Network failure on MASTER, In order to failover to a next available server, we need to manually do the configuration changes for client connections.In this case, downtime is expected since manual failover will take some times. To solve this we can integrate load balancer with MySQL to take care of this manual work and do automatic failover connections.
To avoid such downtimes and for the maximum high …
[Read more]A few months ago I wrote about showing the hidden tables in MySQL 8 data dictionary. What I presented there was a naïve solution, which I am now able to improve with a few (bold) moves. In the solution given in my previous article, I was able to guess the table names somehow, but they were still hidden from the catalog. I did not think clearly then. I should have used the data dictionary itself to see the tables. Here, in addition to getting the real list of tables, I offer a feature to unhide them permanently.
MySQL-Sandbox 3.2.08 has now the ability of un-hide the data dictionary tables, and keep them available for inspection. This feature came to my mind after a chat with the MySQL team during PerconaLive 2017. They stressed the …
[Read more]So glad to have had a successful Percona Live last week. Continuent were Diamond Sponsors and now that we are back into a company and not part of VMware we have a little more freedom to get back into the MySQL community.
I had two primary sessions, both on the replicator/ But one was looking specifically at the replicator and how we get data into Big Data targets, the other on general problems of replicating between heterogeneous sources. After the first of those, David from Percona interviewed me to understand a bit more about what I was talking about
I was also on the keynote panel where we discussed a variety of different …
[Read more]This is not a resource list post. It is actually a question for you: where do you go, when you’re looking for MySQL help?
For the last few months I been feeling an itch – having some MySQL experience, I would really like to spend some time helping people solve their MySQL issues for free. But I’ve been blocked on the fact that I don’t really know what is the best place to do this.
Naturally, first place to look for MySQL help is Google. But what do you do when Mr. Google can’t help? Stackexchange? Quora? Percona forums? Maybe some mailing lists ? Do you just leave comments on blog posts that are somewhat on-topic?
Please leave a comment …
[Read more]MySQL 8.0.1 introduces new features and improvements to replication. The next sections summarize some related to performance.
1. WL#9556 – Writeset-based dependency tracking on the master
Transaction writesets can now be used to evaluate which transactions are independent and can be executed in parallel on the binary log applier on the asynchronous slaves.…
From everyone at Percona and Percona Live 2017, we’d like to send a big thank you to all our sponsors, exhibitors, and attendees at this year’s conference.
This year’s conference was an outstanding success! The event brought the open source database community together, with a technical emphasis on the core topics of MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, AWS, RocksDB, time series, monitoring and other open source database technologies.
We will be posting tutorial and session presentation slides at
the Percona Live site, and all of them should be available
shortly.
Highlights This Year:
- Informative tutorials on day one, including …
