Thank you to Kyle Oppenheim at Groupon for contributing to this project and post. We’ll be posting Part 2 on Thursday. I’ll be at the Percona Live MySQL Conference and [...]
Statement based replication with Stored Functions, Triggers and Events
December 16, 2011 By 4 Comments
Statement based replication writes the queries that modify data in the Binary Log to replicate them on the slave or to use it as a PITR recovery.

State of the art: Galera – synchronous replication for InnoDB
October 27, 2009 By 15 Comments
First time I heard about Galera on Percona Performance Conference 2009, Seppo Jaakola was presenting “Galera: Multi-Master Synchronous MySQL Replication Clusters”. It was impressed as I personally always wanted it for InnoDB, but we had it in plans at the bottom of the list, as this is very hard to implement properly. The idea by [...]
Finding your MySQL High-Availability solution – The questions
October 16, 2009 By 36 Comments
After having reviewed the definition my the previous post (The definitions), the next step is to respond to some questions. Do you need MySQL High-Availability?

Using MMM to ALTER huge tables
March 27, 2008 By 11 Comments
Few months ago, I wrote about a faster way to do certain table modifications online. It works well when all you want is to remove auto_increment or change ENUM values. When it comes to changes that really require table to be rebuilt – adding/dropping columns or indexes, changing data type, converting data to different character [...]

Master-Master or Master with Many Slaves
April 6, 2007 By 7 Comments
I just found post by Kevin, in which he criticizes Master-Master approach, finding Master with many slaves more optimal. There is surely room for master-N-slaves systems but I find Master-Master replication much better approach in many cases. Kevin Writes “It requires extra hardware thats sitting in standby and not being used (more money and higher [...]
