Human geography examines the dynamics of cultures, societies and economies, and physical geography examines the dynamics of physical landscapes and the environment.

In this blog i am going to explain what are the new Geography features available in MySQL 8.0

Major Difference in MySQL 5.7 & 8.0 Geography :

There is a big change from MySQL 5.7 to 8.0 when it comes to spatial data, it’s support, multiple spatial reference systems and geographic computations.

This means that the SRIDs of geometries actually have meaning and affect computations. In 5.7 and earlier, however, the SRIDs(spatial reference identifier) are ignored, and all computations are Cartesian.

What’s new in MySQL 8.0?

* Introduced ellipsoid computation instead of flat plane cartesian.

* Introduced multiple spatial reference …

One problem I have experienced during logical exporting and importing databases is the tools don’t output any progress indicator (or anything at all really) and using the -v (verbose) switch outputs every single MySQL command being run from the import file. As, importing and exporting of databases  is one of the most frequent activity being performed , I Just felt the need of some tool that could help me check the approximate progress of import and export of databases going on.

So, I searched and fortunately could find a tool named Pipeviewer (PV) which allows a user to see the progress of data through a pipeline, by giving information such as time elapsed, percentage completed (with progress bar), current throughput rate, total data transferred, and ETA .

Installation :

On Centos and RHEL :

[root@vm1 vagrant]# yum install pv

1.0. Introduction:

MySQL 8.0 was released with awesome features. One of its most prominent features is CTE (Common Table Expression).

The Common Table Expression can be used to construct complex queries in a more readable manner. In this blog, I have described how the CTE works with some useful examples.

1.1 What is CTE?

A Common Table Expression (CTE) is the result set of the query, which exists temporarily and uses only within the context of a larger query.

The CTE provides better readability and performance in comparison with a derived table.

In a normal query the temporary result set that exists only within the execution scope of a single SQL statement.

Example:

select …
