This is a big milestone for MariaDB, because the release team decided to ship and support only one MySQL variant in this release, and MariaDB was chosen over MySQL. This is prominently mentioned in the press release about Debian 9 and more information […]
The post Debian 9 released with MariaDB as the only MySQL variant appeared first on MariaDB.org.

Disclaimer: This post is aimed to you, the curious developer, sys-admin, technologist, whatever-title-you-use. DO NOT run the following lines on production. Not even in a stable environment, do this if you don’t care about the outcome of the current data.
If you want to keep up with the newest MySQL developer milestones I have news for you: there is no upgrade available for milestone versions. The way to go is to remove old version and install new one, according to their website:
Upgrades between milestone releases (or from a milestone release to a GA release) are not supported. For example, upgrading from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1 is not supported, as neither are GA status releases.
So if you, like me, had the 8.0.0 version and want to test the 8.0.1 (alhtough 8.0.3 milestone is already in development) …

In this article, I will show you how to configure a MySQL database cluster with three nodes in a multi-master replication. Multi-master replication allows writing of records in each node, so if a node will fail, we can work on the other as if nothing happened. This tutorial describes how to install and configure three Percona XtraDB Cluster nodes on Debian 8 servers, we will be using the packages from the Percona repositories.

GNU/Linux distributions matter, and Debian is one of the most popular ones out there in terms of user base. Its an interesting time as MariaDB Server becomes more divergent compared to upstream MySQL, and people go about choosing default providers of the database.
The MariaDB Server original goals were to be a drop-in replacement. In fact this is how its described (“It is an enhanced, drop-in replacement for MySQL”). We all know that its becoming increasingly hard for that line to be used these days.
Anyhow in March 2016, Debian’s release team has made the decision that going forward, MariaDB Server is what people using …

In this blog post, we’ll explain how to update the signing key for Percona Debian and Ubuntu packages.
Some of the users might have already noticed following warning on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus):
W: http://repo.percona.com/apt/dists/xenial/InRelease:
Signature by key 430BDF5C56E7C94E848EE60C1C4CBDCDCD2EFD2A uses
weak digest algorithm (SHA1)
when running apt-get update.
Percona .deb packages are signed with a key that
uses an algorithm now considered weak. Starting with
the next release, Debian and Ubuntu
packages are signed with a new key that uses the much
stronger SHA-512 algorithm. All future package release will also
contain the new algorithm.
You’ll need to do one of the …
