truths
MySQL to Sun Acquisition (~ 6 weeks)
Sun to Oracle Acquisition (~9 months)
Oracle did not acquire MySQL
It was part of Sun
MySQL is and always will be in some
form (*) available as GPL

Distributions/Variants


Recap
Distributions/V
ariants

1. Oracle/MySQL
Community/Enterprise (2 years)
2. Percona Server
3. MariaDB
Moving away from full compatibility
Most ﬂexible for community

4. Storage Engine speciﬁc (*)

Distros
Moving to MariaDB
Fedora 19
SUSE 12.3
Ubuntu (currently both)
Expanding ‘M’ in LAMP

Storage Engines


Storage Engines

A storage engine provides
a means to store and/or
retrieve data via the
MySQL SQL interface.


storage engines
Different locking strategies
Indexing algorithms
Transactional capabilities
ACID characteristics
Improving Performance

Storage Engines
stock

MyISAM (Default before 5.5)
InnoDB (Default since 5.5)
Memory/Archive/Federated/Merge/
Blackhole/CSV/Example/BDB


PSEA
Since 5.1 (circa 2006)

Pluggable Storage Engine Architecture
(PSEA)
Enabling third party providers

Tips for SysAdmin


for sysadmins
Keep versions up to date
Tune for memory
Storage Engine speciﬁcs
Replication is not Backup & Recovery
Be prepared for a disaster


Size/Engines
DB Size / Storage Engines
$ wget http://ronaldbradford.com/mysql-dba/allschemas.sql
$ mysql -uroot -p -vvv < allschemas.sql

http://ronaldbradford.com/mysql-dba/

Essential config
MyISAM Key Buffer (Indexes Only)
InnoDB Buffer Pool (Data + Indexes)
Query Cache (High Read/Write ratio)


FOR SYSADMINS
Binary logging is essential for backup
and recovery
#my.cnf
[mysqld]
server-id=1
log-bin


Tomorrow


Tomorrow
What of MySQL 5.7

NOTE: The following are only wild
guesses with no basis of FACT
5.7 Will happen, will be better
InnoDB only (MyISAM/Memory)
replaced, others dropped
Maria will continue to diverge
