MariaDB and MySQL Database Consolidation

oli.sennhauser@fromdual.com (Oli Sennhauser) — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 23:05:40 +0000

We see at various customers the request for consolidating their MariaDB and MySQL infrastructure. The advantage of such a measure is clear in the first step: Saving costs! And this request comes typically from managers. But what we unfortunately see rarely is to question this request from the IT engineering perspective. Because it comes, as anything in life, with some “costs”. So, saving costs with consolidation on one side comes with “costs” for operation complexity on the other side.

How to install multiple MySQL instances on a single host using MyEnv?

oli.sennhauser@fromdual.com (Oli Sennhauser) — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 16:36:51 +0000

We have been asked several times by MySQL users about how to install multiple MySQL instances on a single host.
Typically, this is required when testing different MySQL versions or MySQL servers (MySQL server, Percona server and MariaDB server) while no available resources are available.
Sometimes, it is even required to install multiple MySQL instances on a single production server.
