This public account aims to promote and share professional database knowledge, growing together with database enthusiasts.
This article explains the architecture of TDSQL-C Serverless buffer pool, details how InnoDB buffer pool resize works, analyzes performance bottlenecks such as IO and mutex contention, and presents optimization techniques like chunk pre‑allocation, delayed release, and hash‑resize improvements that make serverless scaling more stable.
This article investigates a MySQL 8.0 TDSQL client experiencing connection interruptions during batch streaming, analyzes error 1161 (ER_NET_WRITE_INTERRUPTED) root causes in the MySQL source code, presents debugging steps with log and packet captures, and offers practical mitigation recommendations.
This article explores MySQL character set implementation by analyzing system tables (CHARACTER_SETS and COLLATIONS) in information_schema and tracing internal source code structures like CHARSET_INFO, initialization logic, and client connection handling.
This article explains how MySQL implements partition pruning, describing the conditions under which the optimizer can skip irrelevant partitions, the internal data structures such as read_partitions and lock_partitions, the role of SEL_TREE and SEL_ARG, and provides a detailed example with code to illustrate the pruning process.
This article explains the challenges of slow DDL operations in MySQL, introduces TXSQL’s Parallel DDL framework—including Copy, Inplace, and Instant algorithms—details their design, implementation, code examples, and performance evaluations, and compares them with other database solutions.
This article explains how InnoDB uses undo segment states for crash‑safe recovery, details the XA transaction protocol, describes bugs in earlier MySQL versions, and shows how MySQL 8.0.30 introduces a new undo state and revised prepare order to make external XA transactions crash‑safe, including code examples and recovery steps.
This article examines typical MySQL out‑of‑memory (OOM) situations in production, explains how to diagnose memory usage with Performance Schema and other tools, and presents a series of TDSQL‑C‑specific optimization techniques—including server‑parameter tuning, process‑list monitoring, cold‑page detection, buffer‑pool limits, and dynamic resizing—to mitigate OOM risks.
This article provides a comprehensive technical analysis of MySQL 8.0's atomic DDL implementation, detailing the transition from fragmented FRM-based metadata to a unified InnoDB Data Dictionary, and explaining how the DDL Log mechanism ensures crash-safe physical file operations during schema modifications.
This article provides a comprehensive technical walkthrough of MySQL‑8.0.22 InnoDB's buffer pool, detailing its physical and logical structures, page management algorithms, fast read/write optimizations, change buffer, adaptive hash index, and the complete page‑read call stack, complete with code excerpts and diagrams.
This presentation details the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of parallel query in Tencent's cloud‑native database TDSQL‑C, covering product overview, workload challenges, query‑level concurrency techniques, underlying execution models, scheduling framework, and future enhancements.
