This article explains the MySQL Connection Control Plugins introduced in 5.7.17, how improper configuration can lead to connection backlog and database hangs, and provides step‑by‑step installation, parameter tuning, testing procedures, and mitigation strategies to resolve the issue.
Learn how to quickly pinpoint MySQL performance bottlenecks on AlmaLinux by using built‑in tools like top, iotop, ss, and netstat, and automate snapshot collection with a simple Bash script that records system and container metrics for later analysis.
This article presents a comprehensive guide on applying Linux Cgroups to isolate MySQL resources, covering CPU, memory, I/O, and network bandwidth controls, detailed configuration steps, performance testing with sysbench, and practical observations to ensure stable and predictable database behavior.
This article provides a step‑by‑step tutorial for DBAs to design a reliable MySQL backup strategy, write a Bash automation script, schedule it with cron, and perform restoration drills using Docker containers, while covering directory planning, command checks, cleanup, and common troubleshooting.
This article presents a series of MySQL interview questions and answers that illustrate typical situations where indexes become ineffective—such as leading wildcards in LIKE, NOT IN, NOT EXISTS, functions, inequality operators, OR conditions, mismatched ORDER BY, large result sets, and explains how to analyze execution plans and use FORCE INDEX to improve performance.
The article details a MySQL 5.7 bug where rollback SQL generated for a JSON NOT NULL column produces an empty string instead of NULL, explains the underlying binlog behavior, reproduces the issue with sample tables, and provides a practical workaround by converting the JSON column to TEXT before re‑importing the data, while recommending strict SQL_MODE for production.
The article explains how to retrieve coupon templates linked to a specific product ID in MySQL, compares a simple LIKE‑based fuzzy search with a more accurate multi‑value JSON index approach, and provides step‑by‑step SQL code and performance considerations.
