Vindex # Vitess uses Vindexes (short for Vitess Index) to associate rows in a table with a designated address known as Keyspace ID. This allows Vitess to direct a row to its intended destination, typically a shard within the cluster. Vindexes play a dual role: enabling data sharding through Primary Vindexes and facilitating global indexing via Secondary Vindexes. Through this mechanism, Vindexes serve as an indispensable tool for routing queries in a sharded database, ensuring optimal performance and scalability.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) command line interface (CLI) allows users to manage OCI resources. In this post, we will discuss how to use the OCI CLI to create a MySQL HeatWave inbound replication channel.

The adaptive hash index help to improve performance of the already-fast B-tree lookups

When talking about storage performance, we often hear three terms that are important in describing storage performance. They are

• bandwidth
• latency
• I/O operations per second (IOPS)

When you talk to storage vendors and cloud providers, they will gladly provide you with numbers on bandwidth and IOPS, but latency numbers will be hard to come by. To evaluate storage, especially for MySQL, you need just one number, and that is the 99.5 percentile commit latency for a random 16 KB disk write. But let’s start at the beginning.

Bandwidth

The bandwidth of an IO subsystem is the amount of data it can read or write per second. For good benchmarking numbers, this is usually measured while doing large sequential writes. A benchmark would, for example, write and read megabyte sized blocks sequentially to …

Yes, but now it likes them more, and here is why.IntroUsing the LIKE clause to filter triggers or views from a specific table is common. However, it can play a trick on you, especially if you don’t get to see the output (i.e., in a non-interactive session). Let’s take a look at a simple example […]

This is the second article in our blog series about MySQL NDB Cluster replication, it describes the basic concept and functional parts of a single-channel replication which is used for replicating data between clusters.

A key is typically defined as a column or a group of columns that are used to uniquely locate table records in relational databases (including MySQL, of course). And now that we've covered MySQL primary keys on our blog, it's time to give you a similarly handy guide on foreign keys.

The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) command line interface (CLI) allows users to manage OCI resources. In this post, we will discuss how to use the OCI CLI to create a MySQL HeatWave configuration that can be specified when creating a new instance.

When COMMIT is the slowest query, it means your storage is slow. Let’s look at an example.
