The latest from the MySQL community

This video walks you through nine tips you should consider when deploying and managing a MySQL Replication environment and how utilizing ClusterControl can help make deploying, managing, monitoring, and scaling MySQL easy.

Though MySQL replication is one of the easier HA deployments to set up, it is also easy to break and time-consuming to troubleshoot.  ClusterControl’s point-and-click interface lets you securely automate deployment and scaling of MySQL replication setups to get production-ready environments up and running in a very short time. No need for guesswork, or time-consuming experimentation with different open source utilities.

One of the most interesting features introduced in MySQL 8.0 is roles or the ability of defining a set of privileges as a named role and then granting that set to one or more users. The main benefits are more clarity of privileges and ease of administration. Using roles we can assign the same set of privileges to several users, and eventually modify or revoke all privileges at once.

Roles in a nutshell

Looking at the manual, we see that using roles is a matter of several steps.

(1) Create a role. The statement is similar to CREATE USER though the effects are slightly different (we will see it in more detail later on.)

In the last post I shared the simple set of steps to configure a Group Replication setup using SQL commands, and a few in the configuration file too. Indeed, it can be simple.  But then there are times where there are more requirements and configurations need more attention. Maybe the OS environment we use for MySQL setups has never impacted us… Read More »

In my previous blog post, I showed an example of how the MySQL Optimizer found a better join order by taking into account the filtering effects of conditions. I also explained that for non-indexed columns the filtering estimate is just a guess, and that there is a risk for non-optimal query plans if the guess is off.

We have received a few bug reports on performance regressions when upgrading from 5.6 to 5.7 that are caused by the optimizer overestimating the filtering effect. In most cases, the cause of the regression is inaccurate filtering estimates for equality conditions on non-indexed columns with low cardinality. In this blog post, I will discuss three ways to handle such regressions:

1. Create an index
2. Use an optimizer hint to change the join order
3. Disable condition filtering

  When you see the above error , first thing come into mind is  Is our tnsnames.ora file is exist , if its there used connection string is there If you have it correctly and still issue is persist .. Then whats happens everything is good  1.First thing you have to check if tnsnames is fine sqlldr scott/HD@y45Hhds@orcl control=E:\test\table.ctl log=E:\test\table.log Check if you have password having '@' symbol 2.Then change it as below , you will be able to load the millions of files into oracle table  sqlldr scott/\"HD@y45Hhds\"@orcl control=E:\test\table.ctl log=E:\test\table.log Make it useful ..

ProxySQL is the leader in proxy and load balancing solution for MySQL. It has great features like query caching, multiplexing, mirroring, read/write splitting, routing, etc… The latest enhancement in ProxySQL is the native support of MySQL Group Replication. No more need to use an external script within the scheduler like I explained in this previous post.

This implementation supports Groups in Single-Primary and in Multi-Primary mode. It is even possible to setup a Multi-Primary Group but dedicate writes on only one member.

René, the main developer of ProxySQL, went even further. For example in a 7 nodes clusters (Group …

In this blog post, we’ll look at how to run Percona XtraDB Cluster on Windows using Docker.

This is a follow-up to my previous post on Percona XtraBackup on Windows. The fact is that with Docker you can now run a variety of software applications on Windows that previously were available only for Linux platforms.

We can run (to evaluate and for testing purposes) several nodes of Percona XtraDB Cluster on a single Windows box.

The steps for this are:

1. Setup Docker on the Windows box.
