In Alan Beaulieu’s wonderful book Learning SQL: Generate, Manipulate, and Retrieve Data, he uses a SQL 1 to demonstrates a CROSS JOIN in MySQL counting from 1 to 100. My students always find it difficult to read because the subqueries take so much space it makes it difficult to see the process, for example he gives this SQL 1 solution:

SELECT ones.x + tens.x + 1 AS counter
FROM
 (SELECT 0 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 1 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 2 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 3 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 4 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 5 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 6 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 7 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 8 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 9 AS x ) ones CROSS JOIN
 (SELECT 0 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 10 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 20 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 30 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 40 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 50 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 60 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 70 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 80 AS x UNION ALL
  SELECT 90 AS x ) tens
ORDER BY counter;

During last Ubuntu Summit in Riga, I got an interesting question from Alex Lutay, engineering manager at Canonical regarding the different ways to perform some Admin API commands in MySQL Shell.

He wanted to know why, in the manual and blogs, we always use separate commands instead of combining them, as he would expect this to have an impact on the connections established with the server.

Let’s illustrate this by looking at the different ways of obtaining the state of a cluster. Here are the four different methods:

Method 1

This is the method most frequently used in the documentation:

$ mysqlsh admin@10.0.0.1
JS> cluster=dba.getCluster()
JS> cluster.status() 

Method 2

This is Alex’s preferred method as he expects to have less round trips with the network:
