Learn how Multi-Valued Indexing in MySQL 8.0 can enhance query performance by efficiently indexing and querying JSON arrays. Discover the benefits, implementation steps, and considerations for optimizing your MySQL database.
A friend’s application started failing with MySQL causing error about timestamp columns and it needs urgent fixing from the database side. A timestamp column was not accepting the null values…

In the MySQL world, I am surrounded by some of the best database consultant, it brings them immense joy about having a “Friday”, so much so that they cannot believe…

From MySQL 5.7, we had a Multi-threaded Slave (MTS) Applier
mechanism called
LOGICAL_CLOCK to overcome the
problems of parallel replication within a database.
To further improve the parallelisation mechanism, from MySQL 8 (5.7.22) we have write-set replication, so before going further , lets look at the difference between Logical clock (LC) and Writeset.
LOGICAL_CLOCK
Transactions that are part of the same binary log group commit on a master are applied in parallel on a slave. The dependencies between transactions are tracked based on their timestamps to provide additional parallelisation where possible.
WRITESET
Write-set is a mechanism to track independent
transactions that can be executed in parallel in the slave.
Parallelising on write sets has potentially much more parallelism
than logical_clock ,since it does not depend …
We have many ways to install MySQL on linux machines such as source, binary and so on. But most of the Engineers always prefer default package managers (yum for RPM-Based distributions and apt for DPKG-Based distributions) for its ease of use and it can resolve all dependencies on its own. And of course, it is not possible to use package managers in environments where the internet is not allowed, but this is a different case.
At some point, we need to install exactly specific version of MySQL for the following cases
We will have a look at a new feature in MySQL 8.0 called binlog encryption. This feature is available from the MySQL version 8.0.14 or above.
Our previous blogs discussed about table space encryption in MySQL and Percona servers. In Mydbops, we are giving high importance about achieving security compliances.
The binary log records changes made to the databases so that it can be used to replicate the same to the slaves and also for the point in time recovery (PITR). So, it means that if someone has access to the binary logs, they can reproduce our entire database in many forms. As a DBA, we need to make sure that the binary log files are protected from users who are having access to the file system and also, log files need …

To retrieve and maintain in SQL format the definition of all tables in a database, is a best practice that we all should adopt. To have that under version control is also another best practice to keep in mind.
While doing that may seem redundant, it can become a life saver in several situations. From the need to review what has historically changed in a table, to knowing who changed what and why… to when you need to recover your data and have your beloved MySQL instance not start…
But let’s be honest, only a few do the right thing, and even fewer keep that information up to date. Given that’s the case, what can we do when we have the need to discover/recover the table structure?
From the beginning, MySQL has used some external files to describe its internal structure.
For instance, if I have a schema named windmills and a table …

With the next version of MySQL that is MySQL 8, there is a very
nice feature of creating "roles" which can be assigned
certain privileges and then these roles can be assigned to users,
thus helping us in maintaining the principle of least
privilege.
It makes our life as developers and DBAs easier as we do not have
to remember what are the specific privileges assigned to
different users. These "roles" can simply be assigned or
de-assigned from users as necessary.
The setup process is pretty easy and intuitive.
1. Create Role:
CREATE ROLE 'read', 'write', 'read_write';
Which essentially creates a set of named roles which do not have
any privileges assigned to them, as yet. …
This blog post will look at seven bugs in MySQL 8.0.
Friday afternoon is always ideal for a quick look at the early quality of MySQL 8.0! Last Friday, I did just that.
If you haven’t heard the news yet, MySQL 8.0 DMR is available for download on mysql.com!
Tools to the ready: pquery2, updated 8.0 compatible scripts in Percona-qa and some advanced regex to wade through the many cores generated by the test run. For those of you who know and use pquery-run.sh, this should mean a lot!
