Check out who’s talking, and about what, at our annual event on all things MySQL, MariaDB and Cloud - straight after Percona Live!
As we mentioned earlier this week, we’re gearing up for Percona Live: MySQL Conference and Expo in a few weeks.
But of course, we’re getting particularly excited as we prep for the 2nd annual SkySQL and MariaDB MySQL & Cloud Database Solutions Day, which takes place on the day (Friday, April 26) right after Percona Live: MySQL Conference and Expo.
A few weekends ago, I started to again look at the code in Drizzle for producing internal temporary tables. Basically, we have a few type of tables:
If you’re lucky enough to be creating one of the first three types, you go through an increasingly lovely pile of code that constructs a nice protobuf message about what the table should look like and hands all responsibility over to the storage engine as to how to do that. The basic idea is that Drizzle gets the heck out of the way and lets the storage engine do its thing. This code path looks rather different than what we inherited from MySQL. For a start, we actually have a StorageEngine object rather than just lumping everything into the handler (which we correctly name a Cursor). However… the final …

I just wanted to take a moment and thank, notice, what ever you want to call it, but share some love with all those and all things MySQL.
I read the post Let’s Celebrate MySQL 5.6 GA! – MySQL Community Reception by Oracle by Oracle MySQL Group and it got me to thinking of how proud I am of (and proud to be a part of) the whole MySQL Ecosystem.
We *should* all celebrate MySQL 5.6 GA! I well remember the 3.22 and 3.23 days, and there were many folks before me already using MySQL!!!
I love to see how it has continued to grow, the ecosystem and all things MySQL, that is. MySQL is better than ever. MariaDB is better than ever. Percona Server is better than ever. You have great Support options with MySQL/Oracle, SkySQL/MariaDB, and Percona as well – not to mention numerous others. I just love the fact that everyone is flourishing, …
[Read more]I enabled the InnoDB Lock Monitor in my MariaDB 5.5 instance (using XtraDB+ as the InnoDB – which is the default in MariaDB) and noticed that while the SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS was being logged to the error log, it wasn’t logging the “additional” lock information – it just looked like the plain ‘ole INNODB STATUS.
Long story short, Percona added a new variable so one has better control over what gets logged:
innodb_show_verbose_locks
If off (default), then the InnoDB Lock Monitor logs the normal INNODB STATUS, and if enabled, then it logs it with the extended lock information.
They also created another variable that goes along with this one (and the InnoDB Lock Monitor), which is:
innodb_show_locks_held
This variable indicates the number of locks to print that are held …
[Read more]I actually don’t remember exactly whether it was in 2006, 2007 or 2008 — but around that time the MySQL community had one of the greatest MySQL conferences put on by O’Reilly and MySQL. It was a good, stable, predictable time.
Shortly thereafter, the MySQL world saw acquisitions, forks, times of uncertainly, more acquisitions, more forks, rumors (“Oracle is going to kill MySQL and the whole Internet”) and just a lot of drama and politics.
And now, after all this time some 6 or 7 years later, it feels like a MySQL Renaissance. All of the major MySQL players are coming to the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2013. I am happy to see Oracle’s engineers coming with talks — and now with a great MySQL 5.6 release — and I have great …

This is just for testing purposes, but you might want to play around with MariaDB 5.5.29 coming via the CentOS 6 repositories as mentioned in this post. Please test it out and report bugs if required. The process was simple on a fresh install:
yum update cd /etc/yum.repos.d/ wget http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/mariadb/mariadb.repo yum list mariadb\* yum install mariadb-server mariadb /etc/init.d/mysqld start
That’s it, it just works. It comes with MEMORY, CSV, MRG_MYISAM, BLACKHOLE, MyISAM, PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA, ARCHIVE, FEDERATED, InnoDB (XtraDB) and Aria.
Remember this replaces mysql-libs, and is set to replace MySQL in your install. Here’s hoping it hits mainline CentOS soon.
