Scaling MySQL with TokuDB Webinar – Video and Slides Now Available

Ноябрь 17th, 2011

 

Thanks to everyone who signed up and attended the webinar I gave this week with Tim Callaghan on Scaling MySQL. For those who missed it and are interested, the video and slides are now posted here.

A brief description of the webinar is also below.


MySQL implementations are often kept relatively small, often just a few hundred GB or less. Anything beyond this quickly leads to painful operational problems such as poor insertion rates, slow queries, hours to days offline for schema changes, prolonged downtime for dump/reload, etc. The promise of scalable MySQL has remained largely unfulfilled, until TokuDB.

TokuDB v5.0 delivers

  • Exceptional Agility — Hot Schema Changes allow read/write operations during index creation or column/field addition
  • Unmatched Speed — Fractal Tree indexes perform 20x to 80x better on write intensive workloads
  • Maximum Scalability — Fractal Tree index performance scales even as the primary index exceeds available RAM

This webinar covers TokuDB v5.0 features, latest performance results, and typical use cases.

TokuDB v5.0.6 is Now Available

Ноябрь 11th, 2011

 
This version includes support for “SELECT … FOR UPDATE” as well as displaying table “create time” and “last update time” via “SHOW TABLE STATUS”. The release also addresses a number of other bugs and fixes such as “point update” and “replace into” deadlocks. For more details, see the release notes section of the user’s guide, available here. To get the latest version of TokuDB (free for evaluation, development, testing, qualification, experimentation, and POCs ) click here. Starting with this release, we’ve also streamlined the installation process by creating a combined tarball that includes both MySQL and TokuDB.

Note that we’ll be hosting an upcoming webinar on November 15th for those who want to learn more about TokuDB in general as well as the details of version 5.0.6. For details on the webinar, see here.

Free webinar on preventing MySQL downtime

Октябрь 13th, 2011

I’ll be presenting a free one-hour webinar on preventing downtime in production MySQL servers, in conjunction with the ODTUG. It is scheduled on Thursday, November 10, 2011 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM EST, and you can register for free.

Here’s an abstract of what you’ll learn:

Everyone wants to prevent database downtime by being proactive, but how effective are the common measures such as inspecting logs and analyzing SQL? To be truly proactive, one must prevent problems, which requires studying and understanding the reasons for downtime. We have analyzed a selection of emergency issues that we have solved, to better understand what types of problems really occur in production environments. The results are somewhat surprising, and will be detailed in this talk. Most incidents we found were not MySQL-specific and will be familiar to Oracle DBAs as well as MySQL DBAs. This presentation will be valuable for the new or seasoned DBA, as well as to operational managers/directors and CTOs responsible for business critical implementations.

Please register today and I look forward to joining you.
