This Log Buffer Edition covers weekly round up of blog posts from Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL.

Oracle:

The Universal Theme introduced with APEX 5 is immensely good looking and comes with a powerful Theme Roller to customize it.

The implementation of Ksplice has been greatly simplified. Now you just need to register your system(s) with Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN), subscribe to the appropriate Ksplice channel, use the yum command to install the uptrack package, and perform any custom configuration. Your systems will be automatically updated with the latest kernel and user space patches.

Every …

In a previous post, we looked into load balancing for PHP apps and how to configure read-write splitting on MySQL Replication setups. The native PHP MySQL driver (php-mysqlnd_ms) would perform read/write splits, and the MySQL connections would be made on one of the two listeners of HAProxy.

In this post, we’ll play around with Java, Connector/J, MySQL Replication and HAProxy. One important thing to note is that, unlike php-mysqlnd_ms, Connector/J is aware of MySQL Replication but it does not automatically perform read-write splitting. We have to instruct the query statement in the code of our Java application to establish a so-called read operation, using a JDBC connection object as read-only. Then, the driver will redirect the query to one of the healthy slaves as defined in the JDBC connection …

When your database undergoes a restart, whether it's a clean reboot or a crash, it will typically create two negative effects your application will have to face: blackout (downtime) and brownout (period of degraded performance after startup).

In my previous post, I described how Aurora makes downtime less stressful for you, now it's time to investigate yet another feature that should come in handy in mission-critical environments: the survivable page cache.

Introduction As usual, let's throw in a tiny bit of theory before looking at the demonstrations.
The InnoDB Buffer Pool is an in-memory area for caching data and index pages. That said, buffer pool can also be called a "page cache". Both terms mean …

Sometimes we have apis implemented in our application and there are different levels at which these can be tested.

1. Unit tested at model level to check the logic is working fine
2. Tested at API call level to ascertain whether all the apis as expected are working and are returning data as expected.


Today, we will be learning how to test APIs in CodeIgniter 2.x version using phpunit and Guzzle Http client.

Basically Guzzle Http client is a client used to make http client requests.

"Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP …

This blogpost extends last one. In the last blogpost, we had a look into Docker Network and how it makes the communication between the containers (over multiple hosts) easier. Of course we used Galera for that :)

In this blogpost we are going to use Docker Swarm to bootstrap a Galera Cluster.

Why using Docker Swarm?

Docker Swarm is (simplified) a proxy. So we've got one accesspoint to manage multiple hosts. (The swarm manage service will run on 172.17.152.11:2376). We also use Docker Swarm to abstract from the nodes. As we want the cluster to be running but we don't want to define explicitly where to run them. (Think about a 3-node-cluster on Docker Swarm with 100 nodes.)

Let us point the local docker to Docker Swarm:

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://172.17.152.11:2376

We still got …

Sylvia Botros, Sendgrid’s lead DBA, recently told us about one of the ways her teams have found unique value in VividCortex. “Engineering managers and individual developers have pinged me and said, ‘Hey, I saw this in VividCortex -- what do you think?’ Some of our developers are not fully familiar with the generals of MySQL,” she explained, “but VividCortex is giving them a view into how their app is dealing with databases. And at the same time it’s teaching them DB lingo, which is good.”  

This feedback from Sylvia opens the door to one of the questions we hear a lot about VividCortex: “How is your solution different from my existing APM (Application Performance Management) tool?”It’s a great question with many technical answers, but ultimately the only answers that matter are the ones focused on results. As an engineering-led company, we’re …
