NinesControl is a new service from Severalnines which helps you deploy MySQL Galera and MongoDB clusters in the cloud. In this blog post we will show you how you can easily deploy and monitor your databases on AWS and DigitalOcean.

Deployment

At the moment of writing, NinesControl supports two cloud providers - Amazon Web Services and DigitalOcean. Before you attempt to deploy, you need first to configure access credentials to the cloud you’d like to run on. We covered this topic in a blog post.

Once it’s done, you should see in the “Cloud Accounts” tab the credentials defined for the chosen cloud provider.

You’ll see screen below as you do not have any clusters running yet:

You can click on “Deploy your first cluster” to start your first deployment. You will be presented with a screen …

Using Vault with MySQL

In my previous post I discussed using GPG to secure your database credentials. This relies on a local copy of your MySQL client config, but what if you want to keep the credentials stored safely along with other super secret information? Sure, GPG could still be used, but there must be an easier way to do this.

This post will look at a way to use Vault to store your credentials in a central location and use them to access your database. For those of you that have not yet come across Vault, it is a great way to manage your secrets – securing, storing and tightly controlling access. It has the added benefits of being able to handle leasing, key revocation, key rolling and auditing.

During this blog post we’ll accomplish the following …

This blog post looks at MongoDB and MySQL, and covers high-level MongoDB strengths, weaknesses, features, and uses from the perspective of an SQL user.

Delving into NoSQL coming from an exclusively SQL background can seem like a daunting task. I have worked with SQL in both small MySQL environments and large Oracle SQL environments. 

When is it a good choice?

MongoDB is an incredibly robust, scalable, and operator-friendly database solution. MongoDB is a good choice when your developers will also be responsible for the database environment. In small shops and startups, this might be the case. MongoDB stores information in BSON (binary JSON). BSON is the native JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) language used by MongoDB to retrieve information stored in BSON on the back end. JSON is easily relatable to other programming languages, and many developers will already have experience with it.

Some days ago we found very interesting bug report with my friend: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=71879

Problem is that, if a client moves binlog files to the other folder, stops MySQL server, update in the config file bin_log and bin_log_index values for a new path and starts server again, then the result of SHOW BINARY LOG command will be wrong:

mysql> show binary logs;
+-------------------------+-----------+
| Log_name                | File_size |
+-------------------------+-----------+
| cluster-repo-bin.000001 |       120 |
| cluster-repo-bin.000002 |         0 |
| cluster-repo-bin.000003 |         0 |
| cluster-repo-bin.000004 |         0 |
| cluster-repo-bin.000005 |         0 |
| cluster-repo-bin.000006 |       120 |
+-------------------------+-----------+

As you see, the size of some binlog files are zero. So why?

MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X DevAPI. This release, v1.0.5 M4, is the fourth development release of the MySQL Connector/Node.js 1.0 series.

The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that combines the strengths of the relational and document models using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/index.html. For more information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL Connector/Node.js, and its usage, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-nodejs.

Please note that the X DevAPI …

According to this bug report http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=79151

when client tries to create a new table with not existing (or write permission denied) datadir, then he gets an error message like this: ERROR 1030 (HY000): Got error -1 from storage engine

As you see it is not informative error message, we don’t know what’s wrong at the backend. But in the version 5.7 it seems this problem was resolved already.

I discovered that at the low level of innodb storage engine, program tries to create subfolders, when occurs a problem it checks system error partly in the file storage/innobase/fil/fil0fil.cc:

success = os_file_create_subdirs_if_needed(path);

os_file_create_subdirs_if_needed function in the storage/innobase/os/os0file.cc file checks system errors but returns only boolean value depending on the …

My first bug fix was about a year ago. You can see bug report here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=72259

If to shortly explain, so problem was that when you make file system read only, and try to start the server, it fails. And there is no exact error message in the log files which explains the problem correctly.

I added to the sql/mysqld.cc file a simple function whitch checks the given path’s permission and returns the state code:

// checks if file system is read-only

int is_filesystem_read_only(char const* name) {

    if (access(name, W_OK) == -1) {

        if (access(name, R_OK) == 0) {

            return R_OK; // read only

        } else if (access(name, F_OK) == 0) {

MySQL 8MySQL 8 is now available for testing. The list of features is impressive and I am sure many PHP developers will be interested in having a true data dictionary, invisible indexes, and more. Right now it is in a milestone release. I am still doing a lot of work with 5.7 and found a great way to have 8 around when I needed by using Docker. Follow the Docker install guide for your platform of choice and then run

docker run --name mysql8 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=hidave -d mysql:8.0

Checking to See if it Really Works

docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS              PORTS               NAMES

Note that our instance of MySQL 8 has the container id of ae1824fc01b5. And odds are …
