At Yahoo, we manage a massive number of MySQL databases spread across multiple data centers.

We have thousands of databases and each database has many partitioned tables. In order to efficiently create and maintain partitions we developed a partition manager which automatically manages these for you with minimal pre configuration.

Today, we’re releasing MySQL Partition Manager. You can check out the code on GitHub.

We’re looking forward to interacting with the MySQL community and continue developing new features.

Having written the Building MaxScale from source on Centos7 tutorial, we have received requests about writing one for Ubuntu. It seems the most mentioned version is the 14.04 LTS version so we’re going to go with that. For the purpose of this tutorial, I’ve installed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (Trusty Tahr) on a VM.

MaxScale is a bit more complicated to build on Ubuntu and Debian, but should still be something almost everyone can do.

Installing basic packages

We start off by installing tools that we will need when building MaxScale. The list of required packages for each distribution can be found from the documentation: Building-MaxScale-from-Source-Code

Installing packages:

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev \
libaio-dev ncurses-dev bison cmake perl libtool \
librabbitmq-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libpcre3-dev

A WordCamp US this year, I spoke about the Trojan Emoji security bug, which we fixed in WordPress 4.1.2.

In particular, I went through how we came to wrap our head around the bug, and then write a solution that worked for every WordPress site.

If you have used SQL a bit, you are certainly familiar with so-called set functions or aggregate functions COUNT, SUM, AVG, described in the manual. For example, let’s say that I am the owner of a shop and I keep track of daily sales in this table:

create table sales (month int, day int, amount int);

The first column is the number of the month, between 1 and 12, the second column is the number of the day in the month, between 1 and 31, and the third column is how much we sold on that date.…

In the “MySQL Query tuning 101” video, Alexander Rubin provides an excellent example of when to use a covered index. On slide 25, he takes the query

select name from City where CountryCode = ’USA’ and District = ’Alaska’ and population > 10000

 and adds the index

cov1(CountryCode, District, population, name)

 on table

City

. With Alex’s query tuning experience, making the right index decision is simple – but what about us mere mortals? If a query is more complicated, or simply uses more than one table, how do we know what to do? Maintaining another index …

MySQL 5.7 GA was released a couple of months ago now with 5.7.9 and 5.7.10 has been published a few days ago.  So far initial testing of these versions looks pretty good and both versions have proved to be stable. I have, however, been bitten by a couple of gotchas which if you are not … Continue reading A Couple of MySQL 5.7 gotchas to be aware of
