MySQL Community Manager
http://www.sqlhjalp.com/
Started with MySQL during the dot.com days.
Primary real world work was with a MySQL InnoDB replicated chain environment that
easily held over 4 billion rows of user data.
Numerous other sites developed on LAMP stack over the last 13 years.

Pronunciation
The official way to pronounce “MySQL” is
“My Ess Que Ell”
but we do not mind if you pronounce it as
“my sequel”
It was named after Monty's Daughter Maria.

MySQL Storage Engines
The Storage Engine (SE) defines data
storage and retrieval
Every regular table belongs to some SE
Most notable Storage Engines:
InnoDB (default since 5.5)
– fully transactional SE
MyISAM (default prior to 5.5)
– NON-transactional SE
Default Storage Engine used it not
defined
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012
CREATE TABLE `City` (
`ID` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`Name` char(35) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`CountryCode` char(3) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`District` char(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`Population` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`ID`),
KEY `CountryCode` (`CountryCode`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
mysql> SHOW ENGINES;
21
MySQL Storage Engines
Select a specialized storage engine for a particular application
need.
InnoDB: a high-reliability and high-performance storage engine
for MySQL designed for transaction processing. It follows the
ACID model. Row-level locking and Oracle-style consistent
reads increase multi-user concurrency and performance
MyISAM: -oldest storage engine has many features
that have been developed over years.
Memory: creates tables with contents that are stored in memory.
MySQL Cluster offers the same features as the MEMORY
engine with higher performance levels, and provides
additional features
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012
22
MySQL Storage Engines
CSV: data file is a plain text file
ARCHIVE: is used for storing large amounts of data without
indexes in a very small footprint.
BLACKHOLE:accepts data but throws
it away and does not store it but the
binary log is enabled.
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012

MySQL Partitioning
Open Source
Limitations Relating to Storage Engines
Horizontal partitioning
(distribute rows, not columns)
CREATE TABLE members (
Partitioning functions:
firstname VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
lastname VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
The modulus
username VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
email VARCHAR(35),
joined DATE NOT NULL
Range
)
PARTITION BY RANGE( YEAR(joined) ) (
PARTITION p0 VALUES LESS THAN (1960),
Internal hashing function
PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (1970),
PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN (1980),
PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN (1990),
Linear hashing function
PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN MAXVALUE

MySQL Replication Overview
Top used Feature in MySQL
Used for Scalability and HA
Write to one master
Read from many slaves, easily add more as
needed
Perfect for read/write intensive apps
Asynchronous as standard
Semi-Synchronous support added in MySQL 5.5
Each slave adds minimal load on master
Replication formats:
Statement-based replication (SBR): propagate
SQL statements
Row-based replication (RBR): propagate row
changes
Mixed-based replication: SBR or RBR depending
on the query

MySQL Backup
The way depends on the application
Possible solutions:
Replication?
mysqldump
MySQL Enterprise Backup
Best solution is using all three.
# mysqldump -p --all-databases --master-data=1 /tmp/example_dump.sql
Not an online solution. Can/will lock tables.

MySQL Enterprise Backup
Online Backup for InnoDB
Support for MyISAM (Read-only)
High Performance Backup & Restore
Compressed Backup
Full Backup
Incremental Backup
Partial Backups
Point in Time Recovery
Unlimited Database Size
Cross-Platform
Windows, Linux, Unix

Ensures quick, online backup and recovery of your MySQL apps.
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012

MySQL Enterprise Backup
Usage:
ibbackup [--incremental lsn] [--sleep ms] [--suspend-at-end] [--compress [level]] [--include regexp] my.cnf backupmy.cnf
or
ibbackup --apply-log [--use-memory mb] [--uncompress] backup-my.cnf
or
ibbackup --apply-log --incremental [--use-memory mb] [--uncompress] incremental-backup-my.cnf full-backup-my.cnf
The backup program does NOT make a backup of the .frm files of the tables,
and it does not make backups of MyISAM tables. To back up these items, either:
- Use the mysqlbackup program.
- Make backups of the .frm files with the Unix 'tar' or the Windows WinZip or an equivalent tool both BEFORE and
AFTER ibbackup finishes its work,and also store the MySQL binlog segment that is generated between the moment
you copy the .frm files to a backup and the moment ibbackup finishes its work.
For extra safety, also use:
mysqldump -l -d yourdatabasename
to dump the table CREATE statements in a human-readable form before
ibbackup finishes its work.

MySQL Configuration
Highly configurable
Command line options
Configuration files (plain-text, INI-like files with groups)
Several configuration files (/etc, $HOME, …)
The last value takes precedence
Default configuration are examples and might be not so good for
Performance, ...
One example: SQL MODE
Very important variable
Affects data consistency!
It might be remembered …
… or it might be not
Thus: set it once for all

Full Unicode 5.0 is supported for data, and for metadata we
support only characters for Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).
Database or schema in Oracle world.

MySQL Privileges
User: username@hostname
Precisely: ‘user-name-mask’@’host-name-mask’
Host name – client host name (“from” host name)
User name mask:
can be empty (anonymous user) – all users
Host name mask:
can be empty – all host names (%)
can have ‘%’ (e.g.: %.foo.com)
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012

Connecting as foo from localhost…
Should be foo@%, right ?

MySQL Index options
MySQL startup options
When tuning a MySQL server, the two most important variables to configure
are key_buffer_size and table_open_cache.
The buffer pool is for caching data and indexes in memory so set the
following to < 80% of the machine physical memory.
Important options are:
innodb_buffer_pool_size < 80% of memory.
innodb_log_file_size=2G.
# default value is 8M
#dependent on recovery speed required.
innodb_log_buffer_size=4M
innodb_thread_concurrency=8
# Default
innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT # double buffering and swap are bad
# innodb_file_per_table
Copyright Oracle Corporation 2012
#depends on how many tables used. Get the big picture 1st.
55
MySQL Indexes (keys)
When MySQL uses indexes
Using >, >=, =, <, <=, IF NULL and BETWEEN on a key.
o SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE key_part1=1 and key_part2 > 5;
o SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE key_part1 IS NULL;
* When you use a LIKE that doesn't start with a wildcard.
o SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE key_part1 LIKE 'jani%'
* Retrieving rows from other tables when performing joins.
o SELECT * from t1,t2 where t1.col=t2.key_part
* Find the MAX() or MIN() value for a specific index.
o SELECT MIN(key_part2),MAX(key_part2) FROM table_name where
key_part1=10
* ORDER BY or GROUP BY on a prefix of a key.
o SELECT * FROM foo ORDER BY key_part1,key_part2,key_part3
* When all columns used in the query are part of one key.
o SELECT key_part3 FROM table_name WHERE key_part1=1

MySQL Indexes (keys)
When MySQL doesn't use an index
* Indexes are NOT used if MySQL can calculate that it will probably be faster to
scan the whole table.
For example if key_part1 is evenly distributed between 1 and 100, it's not good to use
an index in the following query:
o SELECT * FROM table_name where key_part1 > 1 and key_part1 < 90
* If you are using HEAP tables and you don't search on all key parts with =
* When you use ORDER BY on a HEAP table
* If you are not using the first key part
o SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE key_part2=1
* If you are using LIKE that starts with a wildcard
o SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE key_part1 LIKE '%jani%'
* When you search on one index and do an ORDER BY on another
o SELECT * from table_name WHERE key_part1 = # ORDER BY key2

MySQL Indexes (keys)
Optimizing tables
Use NOT NULL for columns which will not store null values. This is particularly
important for columns which you index.
`e_id` bigint(12) unsigned NOT NULL
Don't create indexes you are not going to use.
Use the fact that MySQL can search on a prefix of an index; If you have and INDEX
(a,b), you don't need an index on (a).
UNIQUE KEY `uq_id` (`u_id`,`q_id`),
KEY `q_id` (`q_id`),
Instead of creating an index on long CHAR/VARCHAR column, index just a prefix of
the column to save space.
CREATE TABLE `table_name` (
`hostname` char(255) NOT NULL,
KEY `hostname` (`hostname`(10))
) ENGINE=InnoDB

MySQL Index – Use Explain!
Use EXPLAIN on every query that you think is too slow!
mysql> explain select t3.DateOfAction, t1.TransactionID
-> from t1 join t2 join t3
-> where t2.ID = t1.TransactionID and t3.ID = t2.GroupID
-> order by t3.DateOfAction, t1.TransactionID;
