MySQl Shell offer many features to make life easier for DBAs and developers. In this post we talk about how to execute external JavaScript, Python, or SQL files indie MySQL Shell.

Over the last few years, I have become quite smitten with MySQL Shell. For those who may not be familiar with MySQL Shell, it is a new(ish) command line interface (CLI) for connecting to and managing MySQL instances. During a recent episode of Inside MySQL: Sakila Speaks, Fred and I talked to Miguel Araujo about many of the helpful […]

It’s a time to announce a list of conferences and events where you can find the MySQL Community and the MySQL team during June – August 2024 plus one conference at the end of May. See the list below. May 2024: June 2024: July 2024: August 2024:  

Where is MySQL, 6-9, 2024

TL;DR: Make sure to run “SET persist_only disabled_storage_engines=’MyISAM’, persist sql_generate_invisible_primary_key=ON;” on all instances and restart each one in your MySQL InnoDB Cluster.

Ok, what does “safe from naughtiness” mean?:

– Making sure all tables have a Primary Key (invisible or not).

Eg.

MySQL rtnode-01:3306 ssl JS > vlc.status()
{
 "clusterName": "VLC",
 "clusterRole": "PRIMARY", …

MySQL HeatWave is the MySQL DBaaS provided by Oracle in OCI and some other clouds. Compared to the vanilla MySQL, one of the key features of the service is that it allows you to run analytics queries (aka OLAP) very quickly using the HeatWave cluster.

In this article, we will see how to connect OAC to MySQL HeatWave in OCI.

MySQL HeatWave is the MySQL DBaaS provided by Oracle in OCI and some other clouds. Compared to the vanilla MySQL, one of the key features of the service is that it allows you to run analytics queries (aka OLAP) very quickly using the HeatWave cluster. You can also run such queries on files using LakeHouse.

When we talk about analytics, we also think about data visualization solutions. In OCI, you can use Oracle Analytics Cloud.

In this article, we explore the procedure to establish a connection between Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) and a MySQL HeatWave DB instance within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

Deploying OAC

We consider that you already have a DB System up and running in OCI. The first step is then to deploy an Analytics …
