[Read more]We have been using SHOW ENGINE INNODB MUTEX command for years. It shows us mutex and rw-lock information that could be useful during service troubleshooting in case of performance problems. As Morgan Tocker announced in his blog post the command will be removed from MySQL 5.7 and we have to use performance_schema to get that info.
The documentation of MySQL also says that most of the command output has been removed from 5.6 and that we can find similar info in performance_schema. It doesn’t show any examples of how to use performance_schema or what is the query we need to use from now on. It is also important to mention that 5.6 doesn’t show any warning about the feature being deprecated.
This is a short blog post to show how to configure performance_schema and get the info we need. Hoping it will end …
[Read more]MySQL is a database that has been bending the SQL standard in ways that make it hard to move off MySQL. What may appear to be a clever technique for vendor lockin (or maybe just oversight of the standard) can be quite annoying in understanding the real meaning of the SQL language. One such example … Continue reading Use MySQL’s Strict Mode on all new Projects! →
Now that I have your attention, I'd like to invite you to a critical review of where we're at in the MySQL vs. MariaDB debate. Around one month ago, I visited Oracle Open World 2014, and I've met with Morgan Tocker, the MySQL community manager at Oracle to learn about where MySQL is heading. Who … Continue reading Don’t Migrate to MariaDB just yet. MySQL is Back! →

Last month I gave a presentation at the PHP UK Conference on the InnoDB storage engine. I was a last minute speaker, and I want to thank them for the time-slot and their hospitality at short notice.
The video has been posted online:
The InnoDB Storage Engine for MySQL – Morgan Tocker from PHP UK Conference on Vimeo.
It relates to InnoDB built-in and InnoDB plugin. I left out Percona Server and XtraDB for simplicity.

[Read more]I’ll be helping Morgan Tocker deliver the second half of his training course for MySQL Developers/DBAs in New York City in a few days (more Percona training). It was a snap decision at the last minute, but I’m hoping I’ll still get to meet some folks there. If we’ve corresponded over email or blog comments and you would like to get together, ping me in the comments here!
If you’re in the New York City area and you use MySQL, you should consider attending this course, too. Morgan knows his stuff and has written a good curriculum. Attendees give his courses excellent feedback, and the price is very reasonable. Oh, and I’ll be there too, did I mention that? You can pick my …
[Read more]Yesterday I attended CPOSC 2009. The conference was great. It was very well run, and I liked the sessions. I would definitely attend this conference again, and will recommend that Percona sponsor it next year. I attended the following talks:
And then of course I gave my own talk on Maatkit ( …
