Multicolumn indexes, also known as composite indexes in MySQL, can significantly impact the execution plans of complex SQL JOIN operations. These indexes are defined on two or more columns of a table and can be highly effective in optimizing queries that involve conditions on those columns. […]
After following the steps outlined in this guide, you should be able to diagnose and optimize the performance of a specific MySQL query using strace. By tracing the MySQL thread and analyzing the system calls captured in the mysql_strace.log file, you can identify potential bottlenecks and take appropriate optimization steps. […]
“Annotating strace output is like adding signposts to the path of performance optimization, leading you to the heart of MySQL’s efficiency.” – MinervaDB What is Linux Process Snapper? Linux Process Snapper, commonly known as strace, is […]
Optimizing innodb_io_capacity and innodb_io_capacity_max is a crucial step in maximizing the I/O capabilities of your MySQL instance’s underlying storage hardware. By fine-tuning these parameters, you can align InnoDB’s I/O operations with your hardware’s performance characteristics, resulting in improved overall database efficiency. […]
Queue waits in MySQL occur when processes or threads wait in a queue before execution. This typically happens when system resources are overutilized, and the server cannot immediately process incoming requests. Queue waits can significantly impact MySQL performance, especially in high-concurrency environments. […]
Troubleshooting signal waits in MySQL can be a challenging task for database administrators. This insightful article delves into the complexities of signal waits, offering valuable guidance on identifying and resolving these issues. […]
Introduction – Custom Sequences in MySQL 8 In MySQL, a table-based sequence is used to generate a sequence of numbers, typically for auto-incrementing primary keys. However, unlike some other databases, MySQL does not have a […]
MySQL Connection In the context of MySQL and its Connector/J (the JDBC driver for MySQL), the “CJ Abandoned Connection Cleanup” thread is a background thread responsible for cleaning up abandoned JDBC connections. The application does […]
Configuring innodb_thread_concurrency allows you to control the number of threads that can enter InnoDB concurrently. Setting this value correctly can greatly improve the performance of your MySQL server, especially during times of high concurrency. Here is […]
In managing MySQL databases, it’s crucial to keep the slow query log under control to avoid excessive disk usage and to maintain a clear history of queries that may need optimization. Logrotate serves as an invaluable tool for this task, allowing for automatic weekly archiving of the slow query log, compressing old logs, and thus ensuring your logging system is both efficient and manageable. This routine contributes significantly to a robust and well-maintained MySQL server, leading to improved performance and streamlined troubleshooting. […]
