MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.0 was just released the last week. In this post we will make a quick introduction on what's coming up in this new version. 

While built-in replication has been a major cause for MySQL’s wide adoption, official tools to help DBAs manage replication topologies have typically been missing from the picture. The community has produced many good products to fill in this gap, but recently, Oracle has been filling it too with the addition of MySQL Utilities to the mix.

One part of the Utilities that has been generating interest recently is MySQL Fabric, and we will be discussing this project in an upcoming series of blog …

In today's webinar, we discuss the multi-master capabilities of Continuent Tungsten to help you build and manage systems that spread data across multiple sites. 

We cover important topics such as setting up large scale topologies, handling failures, and how to handle data privacy issues like removing personally identifiable information or handling privacy law restrictions on data movement. We

The Perfect Server - Ubuntu 14.04 (Apache2, PHP, MySQL, PureFTPD, BIND, Dovecot, ISPConfig 3)

This tutorial shows how to prepare an Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) server (with Apache2, BIND, Dovecot) for the installation of ISPConfig 3, and how to install ISPConfig 3.

We’ve recently received a number of questions on how to implement incremental MySQL backups alongside encryption with Percona XtraBackup. Some users thought it was not initially possible because with the default

--encrypt

options with XtraBackup, all files will be encrypted, but alas, that is not the case. This is where the option

--extra-lsn-dir

becomes useful, because it allows you to save LSN (Log Sequence Number) information to another directory and exclude it from encryption, allowing you to use the same information needed by incremental backups. Enough talk, let me show you.

Because you would want to usually script your backup and restore procedure, I’d use variables here as well to make you more familiar. First, I’d create 3 folders, where my backups will be stored, ‘full’ for full backups, ‘incr’ for …

ClusterControl 1.2.6 introduces integration with Active Directory and LDAP authentication. This allows users to log into ClusterControl by using their corporate credentials instead of a separate password. LDAP groups can be mapped onto ClusterControl user groups to apply roles to the entire group, so it is very convenient for larger organizations who have a centralized LDAP-compliant authentication system. This blog shows you how to configure LDAP authentication in ClusterControl, and allow users to use their Active Directory or LDAP username and password to log in to ClusterControl. 

LDAP authentication can be configured from ClusterControl, in the Admin dashboard (ClusterControl > Admin > LDAP Settings). If you are running ClusterControl v1.2.5 or older, please …
