This presentation discusses MySQL administration and monitoring. It covers basic command line tools for MySQL, internal schemas like mysql and information_schema, backup and recovery options like mysqldump and replication. GUI tools like MySQL Workbench are presented for administration. MySQL Enterprise Monitor is discussed for distributed monitoring of MySQL environments.

Standard MySQL Client Programs
mysql MySQL command line/shell for SQL statements
mysqladmin Performing administrative operations. You can use it to check the server's
configuration and current status, to create and drop databases, and more
mysqlcheck Performs table maintenance: It checks, repairs, optimizes, or analyzes tables
mysqldump Used to export a database(s) for backup or transfer to another server. The
dump contains SQL statements to create tables, populate it with data, or both.
Can also generate files in CSV, delimited text, or XML format.
mysqlbinlog Replays Binary Logs for Point In Time recovery
mysqlimport Command-line interface to the LOAD DATA INFILE SQL statement.

MySQL Startup Programs
mysqld The MySQL daemon – can be used to start directly (but has
no “keep alive” in this mode
mysqld_safe Recommended way to start on Unix. Starts angel process for
mysqld daemon.
mysql.server Used on systems (Linux and Solaris) that use System V-style
run directories to start and stop system services. Also used
by Mac OS X
mysqld_multi Manage Multiple MySQL Servers running on different ports or
sockets, with different data directories

mysql
§ The main system schema (a kind of Data Dictionary)
§ All user and privilege configuration
§ Stored programs (Procedures, Functions, Events)
§ Time Zone information
§ Also in 5.6
– InnoDB Table Index Statistics
– Replication State

INFORMATION_SCHEMA
§ ANSI SQL (SQL:2003) – general access to database metadata
– Tables, indexes, constraints, views, triggers, routines, privileges
etc.
§ Also contains various extensions within MySQL
– Many of these are runtime metadata
– Processlist, system / status variables, InnoDB runtime data
§ System Views (not real views, not real tables, generated on the fly)

Performance Schema
§ MySQL's “Wait Interface”
§ Instruments various wait events
– File IO / Table IO / Network IO
– Mutexes (Semaphores) / R/W Locks / Conditions
– Table Locks
– Statements and Stages (connection states of execution)

§ Backup / Recovery

21. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Insert Information Protection Policy Classification from Slide 12 of the corporate presentation template21
MySQL Backup Tools
§ Cold Backup (Offline, Physical)
– Simple file copy when instance down
§ Warm Backup (Locking, Logical)
– mysqldump
§ Standby Copy (Hot swappable)
– MySQL Replication
§ Hot Backup (Online, Physical)
– MySQL Enterprise Backup, mysqlbackup

MySQL Backup Tools – Warm Backup
§ Advantages for mysqldump
– Good for small databases / tables
– Logical, so more flexible and portable
§ Disadvantages for mysqldump
– Single thread for dump and restore, slow for larger instances
– Not online, requires a transaction (for InnoDB) or global lock
(for all other non-transactional tables)
– Not incremental (needs binary logs as well, complex recovery)

24. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Insert Information Protection Policy Classification from Slide 12 of the corporate presentation template24
MySQL Backup Tools – Hot Standby
§ Advantages for MySQL Replication
– Rolling snapshot
– Very quick failover
– Standby can be used for other backup types
§ Disadvantages for MySQL Replication
– Only latest point in time (can use delayed replication with 5.6)
– Not incremental (needs binary logs as well, complex recovery)
– Can't archive (offsite, though can have an offsite standby)

25. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Insert Information Protection Policy Classification from Slide 12 of the corporate presentation template25
MySQL Backup Tools – Hot Backup
§ Advantages for MySQL Enterprise Backup
– Physical Backup, so very quick (especially restore)
– Ties in natively with Oracle Secure Backup to Tape (SBT)
– Multi-Thread for Performance
– Incremental Backups available
– Compression Built-In
§ Disadvantages for MySQL Enterprise Backup
– No logical option (good to have a periodic mysqldump too)
