Not long ago, multifactor authentication and support for FIDO were added to MySQL. Although the original FIDO authentication has now been deprecated in favor of an improved, FIDO2 authentication mechanism—the Web Authentication (WebAuthn); both share the premise that a user must possess an authentication device and use it to certify that the person is who they claim to be. Connector/J supports both and in this post I will show how the WebAuthn authentication can be used.

Transparent Huge Pages (THP) is a memory management feature in Linux operating systems that aims to enhance system performance. While THP can be beneficial for many applications, enabling it on a database server could have unintended consequences. In this post, we will explore THP, its impact on database servers, and how to disable it for optimal performance and stability.

What are Transparent Huge Pages?

In order to understand THP, we should first start with a brief description of Linux HugePages. The concept of HugePages in Linux has existed for many years, first introduced in 2007. By default, the majority of widely used Linux distributions employ a virtual memory page size of 4KB. However, the inclusion of the HugePages feature allows the Linux kernel to efficiently handle substantial memory pages alongside the standard 4KB size.

In order for an application to utilize HugePages, however, it must explicitly include an …

Where can you find MySQL team in October 2023

We’re excited to announce that we are adding support for vector storage and search into MySQL and PlanetScale. Soon, you’ll be able to use PlanetScale as a vector database for all of your AI needs without needing to adopt a second tool. You can sign up to be notified of release at planetscale.com/ai. What are vectors? A vector is a one-dimensional array of real number values: [1, 1] is a vector, as is [1.5, 8.889, 9.234]. Each element represents an attribute or a dimension, and the position of that element in the array represents a “point.” In three-dimensional space, a vector of [2, 3, 5] would have 2 as the x-coordinate, 3 as the y-coordinate and 5 as the z-coordinate. In real-world applications of artificial intelligence, vectors are in significantly higher dimensionality — well above 1,000! Modern databases are already very good at storing lists of numbers. Storing vectors as a raw datatype is not interesting, like points on a globe or …

I see this message on our forums, and I think it’s a great question: “Which version of Percona Server is currently recommended?” It’s really the same question as “Which version of MySQL is currently recommended?” In this blog, we cover everything you need to know about how to choose the right version of MySQL for your needs, as well as key information on the latest versions, 5.7 and 8.0.

Understanding MySQL Versions

MySQL versions play a pivotal role in database management, as each MySQL version represents a distinct release, encompassing enhancements, bug fixes, and new features that affect the performance, security, and functionality of the database and applications. Staying informed about MySQL version updates is vital for anyone tasked with managing databases, as it directly impacts the efficiency and reliability of data …
