7. MySQL Architecture 101
MySQL is a RDMS
Wide variety of hardware platforms
Connectors for most languages
Runs great on commodity hardware
Scales from small to Facebook

8. Is it standard SQL?
Yes
aim is to support the full
ANSI/ISO SQL standard,
but without making
concessions to speed and
quality of the code
No
Depends on engine

9. MySQL Storage Engines
What is it?
MySQL supports multiple storage
engines. Each one implements
tables that have a specific set of
properties or characteristics.

10. MySQL Database
Performance, Reliability, Ease of Use
Support for common
development
languages/platforms
Efficient multi-
threaded session
handling
Full DML, DDL
parsing, cost
based optimizer,
caching of queries
and result sets
Flexible Storage
Engine options for
application specific
storage needs
Flexible logging and physical storage options

11. • Default Storage Engine for MySQL 5.5 and above
• ACID-compliant transactions, MVCC
• Row-level locking
• Two phase commit
• Efficient indexing
• Fast DDL operations
• Table compression
• Automatic crash recovery
• Referential integrity
• Online backup
• More
MySQL Database
InnoDB - Transactional by Default

12. 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

13. Storage Engines
Many options
Transactions
Speed
Warehousing
Column orientation
Lock
Have to know where your data is going
Manual:
dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/storage-engines.html

14. InnoDB
InnoDB is a high-reliability and high-performance storage engine.
Key advantages of InnoDB include:
ACID model, with transactions featuring commit, rollback, and crash-
recovery capabilities to protect user data.
Row-level locking and Oracle-style consistent reads increase multi-user
concurrency and performance.
InnoDB tables arrange your data on disk to optimize common queries
based on primary keys.
InnoDB also supports FOREIGN KEY referential-integrity constraints.

15. Cluster
MySQL Cluster is a real-time open
source transactional database
designed for fast, always-on
access to data under high
throughput conditions. MySQL
Cluster utilizes a “shared
nothing” architecture which
does not require any additional
infrastructure investment to
provide 99.999% data
availability with no single point
of failure.

20. Cluster – Typical Performance
Availability
99.999% (<5 min downtime / year)
Performance
Response Time 2-5 millisecond (with synchronous replication
and access via NDB API
Throughput of 10,000+ replicated transactions/sec on a 2
Node Cluster, with 1 CPU Per Node (minimal configuration)
Throughput of 100,000 replicated transactions/sec on 4 Node
Cluster, with 2 CPU Per Node (low-end configuration)
Failover
Sub-second failover enables you to deliver service
without interruption

“Testing of Adaptive Query Localization has yielded over 20x
higher performance on complex queries within our application,
enabling Docudesk to expand our use of MySQL Cluster into a
broader range of highly dynamic web services.”

22. MySQL Replication Overview
Native in MySQL
Used for Scalability and
HA
Asynchronous as
standard
Semi-Synchronous
support added in
MySQL 5.5
Each slave adds
minimal load on master

24. MySQL Replication
Delivering Read Scalability
Used by leading web properties for scale-out
Reads are directed to slaves, writes to master
Delivers higher performance & scale with efficient
resource utilization

27. Semisynchronous replication
Improved resilience by having master wait for slave to
receive events.
Slave fsync tuning & Automatic relay log recovery
Tune fsyncs so corruption is less likely on slave crashes.
Let the slave recover from corrupted relay logs.
Replication Heartbeat
Have a more precise failure detection mechanism.
Avoid spurious relay log rotation when the master is idle.
Per server replication filtering
Instruct slave to discard events from a master with a
specific server id.
MySQL 5.6 Replication Features

28. Precise Slave Type Conversions
Use different types on master and slave and get automatic type
promotion and demotion when using RBR
Individual Log Flushing
Selectively flush server logs when using 'FLUSH
LOGS'
Safe logging of mixed transactions
Replicate transactions containing both InnoDB and
MyISAM changes
Multi Threaded and Crash Safe

43. Already use MySQL
Require read scalability
Require high performance
Don’t need durability or HA in caching
layer
Need massive/proven scaling capabilities
Want vendor-neutral solution
Don’t need transactions
Don’t mind “Warming” up cache after a
failure
Need a generic cache – not Java object
specific
Need Cloud friendly cache

46. Where to use MySQL?
Where not to use MySQL?
Yes
 Data size:
Small to Facebook
 Speed:
doesn’t matter to blazing
 HA
 Ease
 Cost
 Ubiquity
No
Not a drop in replacement for
12 or earlier or RAC
May not have all the features
you know and love from
Oracle 12 (such as)

47. Things Oracle DBAs will miss
No Materialized views
Authentication Primitive
No GRID control
Nothing analogous to RAC
PL/SQL
JOINs per query limited to 61
Execution plans cached per
connection not globally
Different storage engines
behave differently, I.E.
COUNT()
