If your MySQL server performance is poor check the following details in your server.

1.Check the load average.

          ex: w 

Note:load average is not more than 1.


2.Check free memory.

          ex: free -m 

Check the available memory. 


3.Check the updating running process.

          ex: top 

Check CPU utilization and Memory of the server.


4.Show processlist.

This statement shows you which threads are running and to see “too many connections” error message and want to find out what is going on. …

What is binlog?

In MySQL the binary log record the events that, when ever the changes happens in the databases. (eg.create,delete,update,insert)

   What is binlog formats?

The format that has been used to record the changes of data in binlog.

What are the their types?

There are three types of binlog formats.

1) Statement

2) Row

3) Mixed

1) Statement 

It is the default binlog format for MySQL5.6. It records the events in SQL statement in binlog to read easily with mysqlbinlog. The binlog does not grow so fast than row format.
Faster to recover from a backup.  how it works?
· set the binlog format to statement if you use older version of MySQL 5.6 in my.cnf file.

MySQL STORAGE ENGINES

What is storage engine?

       In MySQL the datas are stored as files in any one of the types in storage engines. MySQL supports pluggable storage engines that we can use any types of engine belongs to your data.There are two types of storage engines in MySQL  Transactional(The data can be modified in engines) and non-transactional(It can only fetch the data from engines). The default storage engine for MySQL prior to version 5.5 was MyISAM. For MySQL 5.5 and later, the default storage engine is InnoDB.

Types of Storage Engine

1.MyISAM

2.InnoDB

3.Merge

4.Memory

5.Blackhole

6.Archive

7.CSV

8.Federated

1.MyISAM

       MyISAM is the oldest storage …

Prior to my talk at LaraconEU 2016 I was curious to know how much adoption for MySQL 5.7 was in within the community.

I tweeted this:

Pool, use twitter client to see it:

Which Version of MySQL do you use? SELECT @VERSION; RT for reach, please.

Twitter polls only gives you up to 4 items to choose. What I wanted to know is if people were using MariaDB or other forks like Percona, but I didn’t had the proper space, and I  only put three options.

This January I managed to get a bit more syndication on my tweet and more people replied. I added a 4th option, “Other”. This option could …

In this blog post, I’ll look at the types of NVMe flash health information you can get from using the NVMe command line tools.

Checking SATA-based drive health is easy. Whether it’s an SSD or older spinning drive, you can use the

smartctl

 command to get a wealth of information about the device’s performance and health. As an example:

root@blinky:/var/lib/mysql# smartctl -A /dev/sda
smartctl 6.5 2016-01-24 r4214 [x86_64-linux-4.4.0-62-generic] (local build)

I was working on a seemingly basic query the other day where the user needed to have an INT column listed in ascending order (i.e., 1, 2, 3, …).

However, the tricky part came in because the column allowed NULLs and the user needed the NULLs to be listed last, not first, which is the default behavior in both MariaDB and MySQL.

We first devised a somewhat convoluted solution where we used ISNULL() first in the ORDER BY, and then the column, but that wasn’t ideal since it added an additional check for each row in the ORDER BY, which we wanted to avoid in a query returning ~5M rows.

To illustrate, a normal query just sorting in ASC order returned:

MariaDB> SELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY col1 ASC, col3 ASC;
+--------+--------+------+
| col1   | col2   | col3 |
+--------+--------+------+
| apple  | yellow | NULL |
| apple  | red    |    5 |
| apple  | green  |   10 |
| banana | brown  | NULL |
| banana | green  |    5 |
| …

MySQL replication setups can take different shapes. The main topology is probably a simple master-slave setup. But it is also possible to construct more elaborate setups with multiple masters and chained setups. ClusterControl 1.4 takes advantage of this flexibility and gives you possibility to deploy multimaster setups. In this blog post, we will look at a couple of different setups and how they would be used in real-life situations.

New Deployment Wizard

First of all, let’s take a look at the new deployment wizard in ClusterControl 1.4. It starts with SSH configuration: user, path to ssh key and whether you use sudo or not.

Next, we pick a vendor and version, data directory, port, configuration template, password for root user and, finally, from which repository ClusterControl should install the software.

Then, the third and final step to define the topology.

Let’s go through some of these topologies …

Introduction As previously explained, you can run database integration tests 20 times faster! The trick is to map the data directory in memory, and my previous article showed you what changes you need to do when you have a PostgreSQL or MySQL instance on your machine.

               Capturing MySQL Queries

I know there is mytop, mtop, and innodbtop out there, just google them, but it can be very hard to Freeze The Frame to get every query.  So, here’s a quick and dirty script to catch the queries and see what you users are doing.

#!/bin/sh #./run_show_full_processlist.ksh > SHOW_PROCCESSLIST.doc &

x=1

while [ $x -le 3600 ]                      #Loop for 1 Hour (60sec * 60 = 3600)

echo "show full processlist;" | mysql –h HOSTNAME -uUSERNAME -pPASSWD

  x=$(( $x + 1 ))

echo "END DATE"
