Hi dear MySQL Community,

I would like to start this post by saying thanks to our sponsors:

Unfortunately, we are missing one sponsor and to not increase the ticket price but at the same time keep the level of quality for food then promised and the same diversity for our world famous Belgian beer patrimony, we are still looking for one …

This blog is full of graphics.
A while ago I decided to try out the MySQL Cluster Auto Installer.
I have my own scripts and tools to work with MySQL Cluster so
I don't normally need to use it. But I wanted to know what it could
do and could not do. So I decided to take it for a spin.

I was actually positively surprised. It was very quick to get up and running.
Naturally as with any graphics tool it will get you to a point, if it meets issues
it can be hard to discover the issues. But there are ways to debug it as well
and naturally you have access to all MySQL log files as well as all the
NDB log files.

My personal takeaway is that the MySQL Cluster Auto Installer is a very good
tool for developing applications towards MySQL Cluster. For a production
installation I would probably want a bit more control over things and would
most likely …

The MySQL Document Store and X Devapi have a lot of very interesting features but right now my programming language of choice, PHP, is not yet supported. My Python is rusty and learning Node.JS is progressing. But the ability to search data from a database without knowing Structured Query Language (SQL) is going to appeal to many. Example One

import mysqlx
import string

session = mysqlx.get_session({
'host': 'localhost',
'port': 33060,
'user': 'dstokes',
'password': 'Hell0Dave!'})

schema = session.get_schema('world_x');
collection = schema.get_collection('countryinfo')

print "Find three records***\n"
result = collection.find().limit(3).execute()
docs = result.fetch_all()

for i, data in enumerate(docs):
    print "{iteration}: {data}".format(iteration = i, data=data)

print "Find USA***\n"
result = collection.find('_id = "USA"').execute()
row = …

In a last post, I wrote the two following sentences:

please do not ignore warnings always investigate/fix warnings

I realized that without context, this might be hard to understand.  In this post, I want to give more background about these two sentences.

In my work, I have seen problems solved (wrongly) by ignoring warnings.  Some example that comes to my mind:

CentOS 7 Systemd issue with Percona Cluster is that SST fails to sync the nodes, unable to join cluster group and giving the misleading broken pipe 32 SIG errors.

Last year Codership produced a lot of valuable content to help Galera users to get started with Galera and manage Galera. We have gathered  the resources to our website.

Taking Full Advantage of Galera Multi-Master replication video can be watched here.

We have now uploaded Slideshare with many new presentations. Check them out!

The best source of multi-master Galera Cluster help,  Galera Cluster documentation, is being updated constantly.

Join Percona’s Chief Evangelist Colin Charles on Wednesday, January 18, 2017, at 7:00 am (PST) / 10:00 am (EST) (UTC-8) as he presents “Lessons from Database Failures.”

MySQL failures at scale can teach a great deal. MySQL failures can lead to a discussion about such topics as high availability (HA), geographical redundancy and automatic failover. In this webinar, Colin will present case study material (how automatic failover caused Github to go offline, why Facebook uses assisted failover rather than fully automated failover, and other scenarios) to look at how the MySQL world is making things better. One way, for example, is using …
