Finally. How to verify if all MySQL records were recovered

April 25, 2013 By Aleksandr Kuzminsky Leave a Comment

After nearly every recovery case the same question arises: How many MySQL records were recovered and how many were lost. Until now there was no way to answer the question without manual investigation. As it turned out a small change can make a big difference. There are two ways to know how many records an [...]

InnoDB Full-text Search in MySQL 5.6 (part 1)

February 26, 2013 By Ernie Souhrada 1 Comment

I’ve never been a very big fan of MyISAM; I would argue that in most situations, any possible advantages to using MyISAM are far outweighed by the potential disadvantages and the strengths of InnoDB. However, up until MySQL 5.6, MyISAM was the only storage engine with support for full-text search (FTS). And I’ve encountered many [...]

Recovery after DROP & CREATE

August 22, 2012 By Aleksandr Kuzminsky 1 Comment

In a very popular data loss scenario a table is dropped and empty one is created with the same name. This is because mysqldump in many cases generates the “DROP TABLE” instruction before the “CREATE TABLE”:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;
/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client     = @@character_set_client */;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;
CREATE TABLE `actor` (
  `actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
  `last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),
  KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `actor`;

/*!40101 SET @saved_cs_client = @@character_set_client */;

/*!40101 SET character_set_client = utf8 */;

CREATE TABLE `actor` (

`actor_id` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`first_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,

`last_name` varchar(45) NOT NULL,

`last_update` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,

PRIMARY KEY (`actor_id`),

KEY `idx_actor_last_name` (`last_name`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=201 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

/*!40101 SET character_set_client = @saved_cs_client */;

If there were no subsequent CREATE TABLE the recovery would be trivial. Index_id of the PRIMARY index of [...]

Percona XtraDB Cluster: Failure Scenarios with only 2 nodes

July 25, 2012 By Frederic Descamps 6 Comments

During the design period of a new cluster, it is always advised to have at least 3 nodes (this is the case with PXC but it’s also the same with PRM). But why and what are the risks ? The goal of having more than 2 nodes, in fact an odd number is recommended in [...]

InnoDB’s gap locks

March 27, 2012 By Miguel Angel Nieto 15 Comments

One of the most important features of InnoDB is the row level locking. This feature provides better concurrency under heavy write load but needs additional precautions to avoid phantom reads and to get a consistent Statement based replication. To accomplish that, row level locking databases also acquire gap locks. What is a Phantom Read A [...]

Faster Point In Time Recovery with LVM2 Snaphots and Binary Logs

February 23, 2012 By Jervin Real 3 Comments

LVM snapshots is one powerful way of taking a consistent backup of your MySQL databases – but did you know that you can now restore directly from a snapshot (and binary logs for point in time recovery) in case of that ‘Oops’ moment? Let me show you quickly how. This howto assumes that you already [...]

How to recover deleted rows from an InnoDB Tablespace

February 20, 2012 By Miguel Angel Nieto 4 Comments

In my previous post I explained how it could be possible to recover, on some specific cases, a single table from a full backup in order to save time and make the recovery process more straightforward. Now the scenario is worse because we don’t have a backup or the backup restore process doesn’t work. How [...]
