If you do not feel at home on the command line, you may prefer to use a graphical user interface (GUI). These also have advantages, for example when displaying data or structures, or they can simplify and therefore speed up work processes.
Sometimes SQL developers ask me if there is a difference between putting the Filter in the WHERE Clause and putting the Filter in the ON Clause and if yes, what the difference is. To explain it the best I have stolen a little example (Source at the end):
Currently we are in the testing phase of the next release of our Ops Center (focmm). This testing is quite complex because it includes testing the interaction of various different components like a MariaDB Galera Cluster, a Galera Load Balancer, a virtual IP, etc.
FromDual has the pleasure to announce the release of the new version 2.0.0 of its popular Database Performance Monitor for MariaDB and Galera Cluster fpmmm.
Are containers so popular because application developers do not know how to write multi-threaded applications well? With containers you can circumvent this problem a bit. You ramp up man single threaded applications in containers and thus get a multi-threaded behaviour. Databases ARE already multi-threaded. So no need to containerize them.
As already mentioned earlier, we roughly have a hand full of customers which are playing with the though of sharding solutions. They typically have many different customers (clients, tenants) and the number of customers becomes so huge (thousands to millions) that one machine cannot cope with the load any more.
Once in a year or so we get a request of a customer about MariaDB/MySQL sharding solutions. So here we have a list of sharding solutions we are currently aware of:
This week I came across an old known issue reported in May 2010: Master/Slave Replication with binlog_format = ROW and tables without a Primary Key is a bad idea! Especially if these tables are huge.
We get ever and ever again customer requests concerning Deadlocks. First of all, Deadlocks are usually an application problem, not a database problem! The database itself manifests the application problem with the following message which is sent to the application as an error:
Also in 2022 there will be a FOSDEM (Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting) on 5 and 6 February 2022. This time again online from Brussels (Belgium).
The MariaDB Connection ID exists since long ago. So why bother about the Connection ID? Because it is interesting and you can do some interesting things with the Connection ID like tracking statements in your connections and find where they come from your application code.
From 25 to 29 October 2021 (calendar week 43) we will have another MariaDB / MySQL advanced training in the Linuxhotel in Essen (Germany). The training is in German and will take place on-site (3G!). There are still some places free!
In all FromDual tools the rc is unique. So you can easily find where in the code the error happened. In your case it is in lib/myEnv.inc in the function stopInstance.
