We recently released XtraDB-9, and while we did not highlight it in announcement, the release-making feature is ability to save and restore InnoDB buffer pool. The idea is not new and was originally developed by Jeremy Cole (sorry, I do not have the link on hands) some time ago, and now we implemented it in [...]
What do we optimize with mk-query-digest ?
December 15, 2009 By 2 Comments
When we’re looking at mk-query-digest report we typically look at the Queries causing the most impact (sum of the query execution times) as well as queries having some longest samples. Why are we looking at these ? Queries with highest Impact are important because looking at these queries and optimizing them typically helps to improve [...]

August 13, 2009 By 5 Comments
Note: This post is part 2 of 4 on building our training workshop. Last week I talked about why you don’t want to shard. This week I’m following up with the top 10 enhancements that XtraDB has over the built-in InnoDB included in MySQL 5.0 and 5.1. Building this list was not really a scientific [...]

TPC-H Run on MySQL 5.1 and 6.0
April 10, 2008 By 16 Comments
We were doing MySQL Performance evaluation on TPC-H queries for the client and they kindly allowed us to publish results which are very interesting. This is obviously not audited TPC-H run, and it can’t be because we used MyISAM tables which are not ACID complaint. Plus we only measured Power to keep things simple. We [...]

October 24, 2007 By 21 Comments

The project generates decent interest and we have about 3000 sites Registered over this time, which I consider decent number [...]
Add an option to Fail on Innodb Initialize failure, Please ?
October 11, 2007 By 9 Comments
I already wrote about this issue but as I is third team I’m helping customers to resolve this “frm corruption” issue it is the time to return to it again. During MySQL 5.0 release cycle the change was made so now MySQL does not stop if Innodb storage engine failed to initialize but starts properly… [...]
MySQL: what read_buffer_size value is optimal ?
September 17, 2007 By 25 Comments
The more I work with MySQL Performance Optimization and Optimization for other applications the better I understand I have to less believe in common sense or common sense of documentation writers and do more benchmarks and performance research. I just recently wrote about rather surprising results with sort performance and today I’ve discovered even read_buffer_size [...]
