Certificate for installers and nightly builds

Finally I bought a certificate at certum.eu to sign the HeidiSQL installers and nightly build files. The latest built installer and nightly builds now don't show a warning message in Windows 7, 8 and 10 any longer. Instead, Windows 7 displays the certificate owner in a dialog when executing:

For all Open Source developers - here's my tutorial for obtaining and managing a code signing certificate using signtool.exe.

Markdown syntax support in this forum

After updating most webserver components on heidisql.com I thought I could add Markdown support to the forum. Markdown provides an easy-to-read, …

In the past five posts of the blog series, we covered deployment of clustering/replication (MySQL / Galera, MySQL Replication, MongoDB & PostgreSQL), management & monitoring of your existing databases and clusters, performance monitoring and health, how to make your setup highly available through HAProxy and MaxScale and in the last post, how to prepare …

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to invert roles for master and slave so you can perform a master server upgrade, and then switch roles back to the original setup.

* While following this guide consider server-A as your original master and server-B as your original slave. We will assume server-B already produces binlogs and that both nodes have log-slave-updates=1 in my.cnf

Check this following link for more details on log-slave-updates: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_log-slave-updates

1. Prepare the original Slave to invert roles.

Make sure the slave is …

The client library — libmysqlclient — is part of the same source code repository as the server. It comes both as a dynamic link library (.so), also called a shared library, and as a static link library (.a). During the 5.7 development cycle, we’ve made several improvements to the library, which has resulted in a bump from ABI version 18 to version 20.…

Recently, I was working on a MySQL support ticket where a customer was facing an issue while transporting tablespace from MySQL 5.6 to MySQL 5.7.
After closely reviewing the situation, I saw that while importing tablespace they were getting errors such as:

ERROR 1808 (HY000): Schema mismatch (Table flags don't match, server table has 0x10 and the meta-data file has 0x1)

After some research, I found that there is a similar bug reported to MySQL for this issue (https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=76142), but no solution is mentioned. I tested the scenario locally and found a solution …

Adaptive Fault detection is a prime example of how efficiently VividCortex can help you understand and optimize your system. We define a “fault” as a special kind of system stall: a period during which applications are asking the server to perform a great deal of work, but that work is getting bottlenecked and therefore not completing.

This understanding of faults is based on Queueing Theory (if you need a refresher on QT, be sure to check out our recent and highly accessible ebook, Everything You Need to Know About Queueing Theory); we detect faults by using advanced statistics and machine learning. VividCortex’s Fault Detection is completely adaptive and self-tuning – it doesn’t require any configuration. The program can detect faults as short as one second in duration. Even the most attentive user would likely fail to notice system stalls so …
