Repair MySQL 5.6 GTID replication by injecting empty transactions
March 26, 2013 By 1 Comment
In a previous post I explained how to repair MySQL 5.6 GTID replication using two different methods. I didn’t mention the famous SET GLOBAL SQL_SLAVE_SKIP_COUNTER = n for a simple reason, it doesn’t work anymore if you are using MySQL GTID.

Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2013: It feels like 2007 again
March 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I actually don’t remember exactly whether it was in 2006, 2007 or 2008 — but around that time the MySQL community had one of the greatest MySQL conferences put on by O’Reilly and MySQL.

March 3, 2013 By 13 Comments
I was curious to check how Percona XtraDB Cluster behaves when it comes to MySQL replication latency — or better yet, call it data propagation latency.
