Webinar Thursday, February 15, 2018: Basic Internal Troubleshooting Tools for MySQL Server

Troubleshooting Tools for MySQL

Troubleshooting Tools for MySQLPlease join Percona’s Principal Support Engineer, Sveta Smirnova, as she presents “Basic Internal Troubleshooting Tools for MySQL Server” on Thursday, February 15, 2018, at 10:00 am PST (UTC-8) / 1:00 pm EST (UTC-5).

 

MySQL Server has many built-in troubleshooting tools. They are always available and can provide many insights on what is happening internally. Many graphical tools, such as Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM), use built-ins to get data for their nice graphs.

Even if you are only going to use graphical tools, it is always good to know what data they can collect. This way, you can see their limitations and won’t have incorrect expectations in the heat of battle. Built-in troubleshooting tools are accessible via SQL commands. Most of them are standard across the server, but details are component-specific.

In this webinar, I will discuss how to use them, how to troubleshoot component-specific issues and how to find additional information. I will cover SHOW commands, Information Schema, status variables and few component-specific syntaxes. I will NOT cover Performance Schema (there will be a separate webinar on that), and I will use PMM graphs to illustrate the topics whenever possible.

Register for the Basic Internal Troubleshooting Tools for MySQL Server webinar now.

Upcoming Webinar Tuesday September 12: Differences between MariaDB® and MySQL®

MariaDB and MySQL

MariaDB and MySQLJoin Percona’s Chief Evangelist, Colin Charles (@bytebot) as he presents Differences Between MariaDB and MySQL on Tuesday, September 12, 2017, at 7:00 am PDT / 10:00 am EDT (UTC-7).

 

Are they syntactically similar? Where do these two query languages differ? Why would I use one over the other?

MariaDB is on the path to gradually diverge from MySQL. One obvious example is the internal data dictionary currently under development for MySQL 8. This is a major change to the way metadata is stored and used within the server, and MariaDB doesn’t have an equivalent feature. Implementing this feature could mark the end of datafile-level compatibility between MySQL and MariaDB.

There are also non-technical differences between MySQL and MariaDB, including:

  • Licensing: MySQL offers their code as open-source under the GPL, and provides the option of non-GPL commercial distribution in the form of MySQL Enterprise. MariaDB can only use the GPL because their work is derived from the MySQL source code under the terms of that license.
  • Support services: Oracle provides technical support, training, certification and consulting for MySQL, while MariaDB has their own support services. Some people will prefer working with smaller companies, as traditionally it affords them more leverage as a customer.
  • Community contributions: MariaDB touts the fact that they accept more community contributions than Oracle. Part of the reason for this disparity is that developers like to contribute features, bug fixes and other code without a lot of paperwork overhead (and they complain about the Oracle Contributor Agreement). However, MariaDB has its own MariaDB Contributor Agreement — which more or less serves the same purpose.

Colin will take a look at some of the differences between MariaDB and MySQL and help answer some of the common questions our Database Performance Experts get about the two databases.
