In this post, I am going to show you how you can minimize the performance impact of ProxySQL rules by using some finesse.

Apply Test

In my previous post, we could see the effect of the rules on ProxySQL performance. As we could also see, the “apply” option does not help with 1000 tables. Are we sure about this? Let’s consider: if we know 90% of our traffic won’t match any rules, it doesn’t matter if we have 10 or 500 rules – it has to check all of them. And this is going to have a serious effect on performance. How can we avoid that?

Let’s insert rule number ONE, which matches all queries, like this:

insert into mysql_query_rules (username,destination_hostgroup,active,retries,match_digest,apply) values('testuser_rw',600,1,3,'(from|into|update|into table) …

The MySQL Development Team is happy to announce the first GA release of InnoDB Cluster–our integrated, native, full stack HA solution for MySQL. You can see highlights of the changes and improvements made since the RC release here, and you can download the GA packages from our MySQL APT (Ubuntu, Debian) and YUM (Redhat, OEL, Fedora) repositories or from dev.mysql.com.…

We carefully listened to the feedback we got from the last release candidate and incorporated some of the suggested changes. On top of that, we have fixed several bugs to reach the desired maturity state.

Here are the highlights of this release!…

MySQL 8.0.1 introduces two new features which allow you to better manage situations where you have tables with hot row contention.  This issue frequently presents itself in scenarios such as worker threads all accessing the same tables trying to find new work, and ecommerce websites trying to keep accurate inventory counts.…

MySQL 8.0 introduces Common Table Expressions (CTE). My colleague Guilhem has written several blog posts on how to use CTEs , and you can also read about it in the MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual. In this blog post, I will focus on how using a CTE instead of a view or a derived table can improve performance.…

On the same day last year, I wrote a post about replication filters in MySQL Multi Source Replication and whether we can set the filters per replication channel or not (Bug #80843). My feature request – as well as some others – has been implemented in MySQL 8.0.1. Thanks Oracle for the implementation. (Full list of changes can be checked out here)

In this post, I’ll demonstrate how to set replication filters per channel in MySQL Multi Source Replication.

Backup traffic

After securing application-to-database and replication traffic, you should also do the same for backup traffic.

If you use Percona XtraBackup with streaming than you should use SSH to send your backup to a secure location. The same is true for MySQL Enterprise Backup. Also both have options to encrypt the backup itself. If you send your backup to a cloud service this is something you should really do, especially if it is not sent via SSH or HTTPS.

And mysqldump and mysqlbinlog both support SSL. And you could use GnuPG, OpenSSL, WinZIP or any other tool to encrypt it.

Sending credentials

You could try to force the client to send credentials elsewhere. This can be done if you can control the parameters to the mysql client. It reads the config from /etc/my.cnf, ~/.my.cnf and ~/.mylogin.conf but if you for example specify a login-path and a hostname.. it connects to that host, but with the …
