Often databases contain data that needs to be proven as valid and authentic. We want to ensure that a known person or other sender (e.g. a trusted app) of the information can’t deny content, nor that the content can change without that person (senders) consent.…

Join Percona’s Senior Operations Engineer, Daniel Kowalewski as he presents Deploying MySQL in Production on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 11:00 am PDT / 2:00 pm EDT (UTC-7).

Register Now  MySQL is famous for being something you can install and get going in less than five minutes in terms of development. But normally you want to run MySQL in production, and at scale. This requires some planning and knowledge. So why not learn the best practices around installation, configuration, deployment and backup?

In this blog, we’ll look at different MySQL high availability options.

The dynamic MySQL ecosystem is rapidly evolving many technologies built around MySQL. This is especially true for the technologies involved with the high availability (HA) aspects of MySQL. When I joined Percona back in 2009, some of these HA technologies were very popular – but have since been almost forgotten. During the same interval, new technologies have emerged. In order to give some perspective to the reader, and hopefully help to make better choices, I’ll review the MySQL HA landscape as it is in 2017. This review will be in three parts. The first part (this post) will cover the technologies that have been around for a long time: the elders. The second part will focus on the technologies that are very popular today: the adults. Finally, the last part will try to extrapolate which technologies could become popular in the upcoming years: the …

This blog post looks at the recent MariaDB Server 10.2 GA release.

Congratulations to the MariaDB Foundation for releasing a generally available (GA) stable version of MariaDB Server 10.2! We’ll definitely spend the next few weeks talking about MariaDB Server 10.2, but here’s a quick overview in the meantime. Keep in mind that when thinking about compatibility, this is meant to be the equivalent of MySQL 5.7 (GA: October 21, 2015, with Percona Server for MySQL 5.7 GA available February 23, 2016).

Opps!I admit my JavaScript skills are rusty and dusty. Plus I am new to Node.JS. So yesterdays blog drew some very helpful comments from two of MySQL's best. Johannes Schlüter and Rui Quelhas let me know there was a better way to code the example. Much thanks to them. Better Example

// Simple example to grap one record and print it
const mysqlx = require('@mysql/xdevapi');
const options = {
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 33060, // should be a number

  dbPassword: 'Hell0Dave!'

In May, I presented two talks – one called “Are you getting the best out of your indexes?” and “Optimizing Queries Using EXPLAIN”. I now have slides and video for both of them.

The first talk about indexing should probably be titled “Why is MySQL doing this?!!?!!?” It gives insight into why the MySQL optimizer chooses indexes that you do not expect; especially when it does not use an index you expect it to.

The talk has something for everyone – for beginners it explains B-trees and how they work, and for the more seasoned DBA it explains concepts like average value group size, and how the optimizer uses those concepts applied to metadata to make decisions.

Slides are at http://technocation.org/files/doc/2017_05_MySQLindexes.pdf.

My first encounter with the gdb command duel was on some old IRIX about 15 years ago. I immediately loved how convenient it was for displaying various data structures during MySQL debugging, and I wished Linux had something similar. Later I found out that Duel was not something IRIX specific, but a public domain patch […]
