The Complete MariaDB Server Tutorial - Percona Live 2015

An introduction to MongoDB from an experienced MySQL user and developer. There are differences and we go thru the What/Why/Who/Where of MongoDB, the "similarities" to the MySQL world like storage engines, how replication is a little more interesting with built-in sharding and automatic failover, backups, monitoring, DBaaS, going to production and finding out more resources.

MySQL features missing in MariaDB Server. Here's an overview from the New York developer's Unconference in February 2018. This is primarily aimed at the developers, to decide what goes into MariaDB 10.4, as opposed to users. High level comparisons are made between MySQL 5.6/5.7 with of course MySQL 8.0 as well. Here's to ensuring MariaDB Server 10/310.4 has more "Drop-in" compatibility.

This document provides an overview of MariaDB 10.0 and what's new compared to previous versions. Some of the key highlights include backporting features from MySQL 5.6 such as InnoDB, Performance Schema, and online ALTER TABLE. MariaDB 10.0 also includes new features like multi-source replication, persistent statistics, and integration with NoSQL databases. The goals are to have feature parity with MySQL 5.6 and provide an open source alternative to Oracle's MySQL with more active development.

Presented at Percona Live Amsterdam 2016, this is an in-depth look at MariaDB Server right up to MariaDB Server 10.1. Learn the differences. See what's already in MySQL. And so on.

MySQL is a unique adult (now 21 years old) in many ways. It supports plugins. It supports storage engines. It is also owned by Oracle, thus birthing two branches of the popular opensource database: Percona Server and MariaDB Server. It also once spawned a fork: Drizzle. Lately a consortium of web scale users (think a chunk of the top 10 sites out there) have spawned WebScaleSQL. You're a busy DBA having to maintain a mix of this. Or you're a CIO planning to choose one branch. How do you go about picking? Supporting multiple databases? Find out more in this talk. Also covered is a deep-dive into what feature differences exist between MySQL/Percona Server/MariaDB/WebScaleSQL, how distributions package the various databases differently. Within the hour, you'll be informed about the past, the present, and hopefully be knowledgeable enough to know what to pick in the future. Note, there will also be coverage of the various trees around WebScaleSQL, like the Facebook tree, the Alibaba tree as well as the Twitter tree.

Some best practices about tuning Linux for your database workloads. The focus is not just on MySQL or MariaDB Server but also on understanding the OS from hardware/cloud, I/O, filesystems, memory, CPU, network, and resources.

MariaDB is a community-developed fork of MySQL that aims to be a drop-in replacement. It focuses on being compatible, stable with no regressions, and feature-enhanced compared to MySQL. The presentation covered MariaDB's architecture including connections, query caching, storage engines, and tools for administration and development like mysql, mysqldump, and EXPLAIN.

This is my third iteration of the talk presented in Tokyo, Japan - first was at a keynote at rootconf.in in April 2016, then at the MySQL meetup in New York, and now for dbtechshowcase. The focus is on database failures of the past, and how modern MySQL / MariaDB Server technologies could have helped them avoid such failure. The focus is on backups and verification, replication and failover, and security and encryption.

Meet MariaDB Server 10.1, the server that got released recently. Presented at the London MySQL Meetup in December 2015. Learn about the new features in MariaDB Server, especially around the focus of what we did to improve security.

A presentation about how to make MySQL highly available, presented at the San Francisco MySQL Meetup (http://www.sfmysql.org/events/15760472/) on January 26th, 2011. A video recording of this presentation is available from Ustream: http://ustre.am/fyLk

MariaDB 10: A MySQL Replacement. Current up to 10.0.9, right before the 10.0.10 GA release presented the weekend before the release in Hong Kong, at the Hong Kong Open Source Conference.

Having spent more than the last decade being the main point of contact for distributions shipping MySQL, then MariaDB Server, it's clear that working with distributions have many challenges. Licensing changes (when MySQL moved the client libraries from LGPL to GPL with a FOSS Exception), ABI changes, speed (or lack thereof) of distribution releases/freezes, supporting the software throughout the lifespan of the distribution, specific bugs due to platforms, and a lot more will be discussed in this talk. Let's not forget the politics. How do we decide "tiers" of importance for distributions? As a bonus, there will be a focus on how much effort it took to "replace" MySQL with MariaDB. Benefits: if you're making a distribution, this is the point of view of the upstream package makers. Why are distribution statistics important to us? Do we monitor your bugs system or do you have a better escalation to us? How do we test to make sure things are going well before release. This and more will be spoken about. As an upstream project (package), we love nothing more than being available everywhere. But time and energy goes into making this is so as there are quirks in every distribution.

Talking about the improvements in MariaDB on MySQL security and encryption features that are so important in today's data landscape. Presented http://www.meetup.com/EffectiveMySQL/events/224828891/

Henrik Ingo presented on choosing a MySQL replication and high availability solution. He discussed various options like MySQL replication, Tungsten, Galera, DRBD, and NDB. Galera provides synchronous multi-master replication with no single point of failure and supports InnoDB with good performance based on benchmarks. It offers simplicity over more complex clustering frameworks. The presentation evaluated solutions based on usability, performance, and support for features like asynchronous replication and global transaction IDs.

MariaDB is a community developed branch of MySQL that is feature enhanced and backward compatible. It aims to be a 100% drop-in replacement for MySQL that is stable, bug-free, and released under the GPLv2 license.

Some key improvements discussed include: - Faster sorting through allowing sorting by inlined functions, abbreviated keys for VARCHAR/TEXT/NUMERIC, and Sort Support benefits. - Improved hash joins through reduced palloc overhead, smaller NTUP_PER_BUCKET, and dynamically resizing the hash table. - Index improvements like avoiding index tuple copying, GiST and bitmap index scan optimizations, and block range tracking in BRIN indexes. - Aggregate functions see speedups through using 128-bit integers for internal state instead of NUMERIC in some cases. - Other optimizations affect PL/pgSQL performance,

MySQL provides hundreds of status counters, but how do you make sense of all that monitoring data? If you’re in Operations and your job is to monitor the health of MySQL/MariaDB Galera Cluster or Percona XtraDB Cluster, then this webinar is for you. Setting up a Galera Cluster is fairly straightforward, but keeping it in a good shape and knowing what to look for when it’s having production issues can be a challenge. Status counters can be tricky to read … Which of them are more important than others? How do you find your way in a labyrinth of different variables? Which of them can make a significant difference? How might a host’s health impact MySQL performance? How to identify problematic nodes in your cluster? To find out more, read these webinar slides (or watch the replay). Our colleague Krzysztof Książek provided a deep-dive session on what to monitor in Galera Cluster for MySQL & MariaDB. Krzysztof is a MySQL DBA with experience in managing complex database environments for companies like Zendesk, Chegg, Pinterest and Flipboard. Amongst other things, Krzysztof discussed why having a good monitoring system is a must, covering the following topics: Galera monitoring • cluster status • flow control Host metrics and their impact on MySQL • CPU • memory • I/O InnoDB metrics • CPU-related • I/O-related

MariaDB is an open-source relational database management system that was created to be more open and community-focused than its predecessor, MySQL. It was founded in 2009 by the original developers of MySQL after Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems. MariaDB aims to preserve the open nature of MySQL by using an open governance model and keeping its code open source under GPL. It has become the default database in several major Linux distributions and is available on major cloud platforms. MariaDB provides an enterprise-grade database with high availability, performance, scalability and security features.

MariaDB Enterprise & MariaDB Enterprise Cluster, webinar by Ivan Zoratti. Presented on 1.7.2014 as a MariaDB webinar.

MySQL is still hot, with Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) and MariaDB Server. Welcome back post-pandemic to see what is on offer in the current ecosystem. Did you know that Amazon RDS now uses semi-sync replication rather than DRBD for multi-AZ deployments? Did you know that Galera Cluster for MySQL 8 is much more efficient with CLONE SST rather than using the xtrabackup method for SST? Did you know that Percona Server continues to extend MyRocks? Did you know that MariaDB Server has more Oracle syntax compatibility? This and more will be covered in the session, while short and quick, should leave you wandering to discover new features for production.

Colin Charles presented on running MySQL in the hosted cloud. He discussed various database as a service (DBaaS) options like Amazon RDS, Rackspace, and Google Cloud SQL. Key considerations for DBaaS include location, service level agreements, support options, available MySQL/MariaDB versions, access methods, configuration options, costs, and features like high availability and backups. Running MySQL on EC2 is also an option but requires more management of hardware, software, networking, storage and backups. Benchmarking and monitoring tools were recommended to evaluate performance and usage.

This is my presentation on MySQL Fabric in LSPE meet up ( Large Scale Production Engineering ) held at Yahoo! India on 13-09-2014.

Forking Successfully or do you think a branch will work better? Learn from history, see what's current, etc. Presented at OSCON London 2016. This is forking beyond the github generation. And if you're going to do it, some tips on how you could be successful.

Co-presented alongside Ronald Bradford, this covers MySQL, Percona Server, and MariaDB Server (since the latter occasionally can be different enough). Go thru insecure practices, focus on communication security, connection security, data security, user accounts and server access security.

This was a short 25 minute talk, but we go into a bit of a history of MySQL, how the branches and forks appeared, what's sticking around today (branch? Percona Server. Fork? MariaDB Server). What should you use? Think about what you need today and what the roadmap holds.

Failure happens, and we can learn from it. We need to think about backups, but also verification of them. We should definitely make use of replication and think about automatic failover. And security is key, but don't forget that encryption is now available in MySQL, Percona Server and MariaDB Server.

Presented at the MySQL Chicago Meetup in August 2016. The focus of the talk is on backups and verification, replication and failover, as well as security and encryption.
