What are the differences between MySQL Community and MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7

Shinguz - Tue, 2016-10-25 22:26

The MySQL Server itself

The differences between the MySQL Community Server and the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 are as follows as claimed by Oracle:

The license of the MySQL Server
Only MySQL Enterprise Edition has the Enterprise plug-ins (Thread Pool, PAM, Audit, etc.)
Certifications and Indemnification support for the MySQL Enterprise Server
The MySQL Community Server statically links against yaSSL and readline vs MySQL Enterprise Server OpenSSL and libedit

The license of the MySQL Server

The MySQL Community Server is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 whereas the MySQL Enterprise Server is under an Oracle proprietary license as you can see from the following diffs of 2 random files:

Enterprise plug-ins of the MySQL Enterprise Server

Oracle/MySQL follows the open core business model with the MySQL Server. This means: The MySQL Community Server is the same as the MySQL Enterprise Server but the MySQL Enterprise Server has some additional modules and programs compared to the MySQL Community Server:

MySQL Enterprise Backup
MySQL Enterprise Monitor
MySQL Enterprise Security
MySQL Enterprise Audit

How to build your own RPM repository for MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 on RHEL 7

Shinguz - Mon, 2016-10-24 23:01

Prepare the RPM repository server

Install the software to create a RPM repository server (on an Ubuntu web server):

shell> sudo apt-get install createrepo

Create the directory structures and initialize the repositories:

shell> sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64 shell> sudo createrepo /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/

Copy the MySQL Enterprise RPM packages to the repository:

shell> sudo cd /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/ shell> sudo unzip -v /download/V790254-01.zip # MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7.16 Archive: /download/V790254-01.zip Length Method Size Cmpr Date Time CRC-32 Name --------- ------ -------- ---- ---------- ----- -------- ---- 23979568 Stored 23979568 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 ae6693b1 mysql-commercial-client-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 45327096 Stored 45327096 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 bb83c965 mysql-commercial-embedded-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 271300 Stored 271300 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 b4eebc96 mysql-commercial-common-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2041404 Stored 2041404 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 cfc63d84 mysql-commercial-libs-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 23747244 Stored 23747244 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 7b4d36fa mysql-commercial-embedded-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 3644756 Stored 3644756 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 613af6a3 mysql-commercial-devel-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 170697184 Stored 170697184 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 ce26e84a mysql-commercial-server-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 116778644 Stored 116778644 0% 2016-09-29 16:58 8ca7f0f0 mysql-commercial-test-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 125679224 Stored 125679224 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 e74a416d mysql-commercial-embedded-devel-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2172140 Stored 2172140 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 e2a1c2f9 mysql-commercial-libs-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 3018 Stored 3018 0% 2016-10-11 13:00 6d6efc1e README.txt --------- --------- ---- ------- 514341578 514341578 0% 11 files

Update the RPM repository meta data:

shell> sudo createrepo --update /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/

Now the RPM repository server is finished.

Prepare the RPM client

Create the MySQL Enterprise Server repository file for the client. The IP address represents the IP address of your RPM repository server:

# # /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-enterprise.repo # [mysql57-enterprise] name=MySQL 5.7 Enterprise Server baseurl=http://192.168.56.1/repos/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://192.168.56.1/repos/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7

Clean up the yum cache:

shell> yum clean all Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Cleaning repos: base extras mysql57-enterprise updates Cleaning up everything

Show all know RPM repositories:

shell> yum repolist Loaded plugins: fastestmirror base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 extras | 3.4 kB 00:00:00 mysql57-enterprise | 2.9 kB 00:00:00 updates | 3.4 kB 00:00:00 (1/5): mysql57-enterprise/7/x86_64/primary_db | 12 kB 00:00:00 (2/5): base/7/x86_64/group_gz | 155 kB 00:00:00 (3/5): extras/7/x86_64/primary_db | 166 kB 00:00:00 (4/5): base/7/x86_64/primary_db | 5.3 MB 00:00:06 (5/5): updates/7/x86_64/primary_db | 8.4 MB 00:00:11 Determining fastest mirrors * base: mirror.imt-systems.com * extras: mirror.eu.oneandone.net * updates: mirror.rackspeed.de repo id repo name status base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 9'007 extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 393 mysql57-enterprise/7/x86_64 MySQL 5.7 Enterprise Server 10 updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates 2'548 repolist: 11'958

Search what MySQL Enterprise Server packages are available:

shell> yum search mysql-commercial Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.imt-systems.com * extras: mirror.eu.oneandone.net * updates: mirror.rackspeed.de ============================================================================= N/S matched: mysql-commercial ============================================================================== mysql-commercial-client.x86_64 : MySQL database client applications and tools mysql-commercial-common.x86_64 : MySQL database common files for server and client libs mysql-commercial-devel.x86_64 : Development header files and libraries for MySQL database client applications mysql-commercial-embedded.x86_64 : MySQL embedded library mysql-commercial-embedded-compat.x86_64 : MySQL embedded compat library mysql-commercial-embedded-devel.x86_64 : Development header files and libraries for MySQL as an embeddable library mysql-commercial-libs.x86_64 : Shared libraries for MySQL database client applications mysql-commercial-libs-compat.x86_64 : Shared compat libraries for MySQL 5.6.31 database client applications mysql-commercial-server.x86_64 : A very fast and reliable SQL database server mysql-commercial-test.x86_64 : Test suite for the MySQL database server Name and summary matches only, use "search all" for everything.

Now you are ready to install your MySQL Enterprise Server RPM packages:

How to build your own RPM repository for MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 on RHEL 7

Shinguz - Mon, 2016-10-24 23:01

Prepare the RPM repository server

Install the software to create a RPM repository server (on an Ubuntu web server):

shell> sudo apt-get install createrepo

Create the directory structures and initialize the repositories:

shell> sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64 shell> sudo createrepo /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/

Copy the MySQL Enterprise RPM packages to the repository:

shell> sudo cd /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/ shell> sudo unzip -v /download/V790254-01.zip # MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7.16 Archive: /download/V790254-01.zip Length Method Size Cmpr Date Time CRC-32 Name --------- ------ -------- ---- ---------- ----- -------- ---- 23979568 Stored 23979568 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 ae6693b1 mysql-commercial-client-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 45327096 Stored 45327096 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 bb83c965 mysql-commercial-embedded-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 271300 Stored 271300 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 b4eebc96 mysql-commercial-common-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2041404 Stored 2041404 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 cfc63d84 mysql-commercial-libs-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 23747244 Stored 23747244 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 7b4d36fa mysql-commercial-embedded-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 3644756 Stored 3644756 0% 2016-09-29 16:56 613af6a3 mysql-commercial-devel-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 170697184 Stored 170697184 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 ce26e84a mysql-commercial-server-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 116778644 Stored 116778644 0% 2016-09-29 16:58 8ca7f0f0 mysql-commercial-test-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 125679224 Stored 125679224 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 e74a416d mysql-commercial-embedded-devel-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 2172140 Stored 2172140 0% 2016-09-29 16:57 e2a1c2f9 mysql-commercial-libs-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm 3018 Stored 3018 0% 2016-10-11 13:00 6d6efc1e README.txt --------- --------- ---- ------- 514341578 514341578 0% 11 files

Update the RPM repository meta data:

shell> sudo createrepo --update /var/www/html/repos/centos/7/os/x86_64/

Now the RPM repository server is finished.

Prepare the RPM client

Create the MySQL Enterprise Server repository file for the client. The IP address represents the IP address of your RPM repository server:

# # /etc/yum.repos.d/mysql-enterprise.repo # [mysql57-enterprise] name=MySQL 5.7 Enterprise Server baseurl=http://192.168.56.1/repos/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://192.168.56.1/repos/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-7

Clean up the yum cache:

You can remove postfix and mariadb-libs but this will most probably cause you troubles sooner or later:

If you look at the MySQL Installation Guide: Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages from Oracle it is unfortunately not really very well documented how to install MySQL Enterprise Server: "using rpm -Uvh instead makes the installation process more prone to failure, due to potential dependency issues the installation process might run into".

So the correct way to install MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) or CentOS 7 is as follows:

shell> rpm --upgrade -vh mysql-commercial-libs-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm mysql-commercial-libs-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm mysql-commercial-common-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm shell> yum

How to Install MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7

Shinguz - Mon, 2016-10-24 22:03

If you have already Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL 7) or CentOS 7 in use you probably found out, that it is not that easy to install MySQL Enterprise Server because there are already pre-installed MariaDB 5.5 libraries:

If you look at the MySQL Installation Guide: Installing MySQL on Linux Using RPM Packages from Oracle it is unfortunately not really very well documented how to install MySQL Enterprise Server: "using rpm -Uvh instead makes the installation process more prone to failure, due to potential dependency issues the installation process might run into".

So the correct way to install MySQL Enterprise Server 5.7 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL7) or CentOS 7 is as follows:

shell> rpm --upgrade mysql-commercial-libs-compat-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm mysql-commercial-libs-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm mysql-commercial-common-5.7.16-1.1.el7.x86_64.rpm shell> yum localinstall

How to move InnoDB-Logfiles on a Galera Cluster

Cédric Bruderer - Wed, 2016-10-05 10:35

Somebody recently asked, what they had to do, if they wanted to move their InnoDB-Logfiles back to the datadir. As a challenge, the servers were part of a Galera Cluster.

My first thought was:

The problem is not the Galera Cluster itself, it is the rsync-SST (wsrep_sst_method = rsync) that could cause trouble and destroy your InnoDB-Logfiles, by simply overwriting or deleting them.

So I tried to confirm my thought and realised, I was wrong. This works anyway, because the node just takes the dataset from the other node. (The backup plan was ready now.)

Preferably, the cluster does an IST, where it only fetches the missing write sets. This way you do not have the danger of losing the InnoDB-Logfiles.

I will explain the way I would recommend:

First edit the my.cnf. The variable you have to change is innodb_log_group_home_dir. This variable contains the location of the log files. Set it to the new location of the logfiles.

After this is done, stop the MySQL server:

shell> service mysql stop - OR, for those who have systemd - shell> systemctl stop mysql

When the server is stopped, move the log files from the location they have been to their new location:

shell> mv /path/to/old/location/ibdata* /new/location/

After you made sure, they have been moved to the right place, you can start the MySQL-Server again.

shell> service mysql start - OR - shell> systemctl start mysql

If this goes wrong, you can force an SST by removing grastade.dat in the datadir. This will cause the node to fetch the dataset from a other node and return to work.

Beware of large MySQL max_sort_length parameter

Shinguz - Wed, 2016-08-24 23:40

Today we had a very interesting phenomena at a customer. He complained that MySQL always get some errors of the following type:

[ERROR] mysqld: Sort aborted: Error writing file '/tmp/MYGbBrpA' (Errcode: 28 - No space left on device)

After a first investigation we found that df -h /tmp shows from time to time a full disk but we could not see any file with ls -la /tmp/MY*.

After some more investigation we found even the query from the Slow Query Log which was producing the same problem. It looked similar to this query:

SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY field5, field4, field3, field2, field1;

Now we were capable to simulate the problem at will with the following table:

CREATE TABLE `test` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `data` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL, `ts` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `field1` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL, `field2` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL, `field3` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, `field4` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, `field5` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=8912746 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ;

An we have seen the query in SHOW PROCESSLIST:

But we were still not capable to see who or better how the hell mysqld is filling our disk!

I remembered further that I have seen some strange settings in the my.cnf before when we did the review of the database configuration. But I ignored them somehow.

[mysqld] max_sort_length = 8M sort_buffer_size = 20M

Now I remembered again these settings. We changed max_sort_length back to default 1k and suddenly our space problems disappeared!

We played a bit around with different values of max_sort_length and got the following execution times for our query:

max_sort_lengthexecution time [s]comment 64 8.8 s128 8.2 s256 9.3 s512 11.8 s 1k 14.9 s 2k 20.0 s 8k129.0 s 8M 75.0 sdisk full (50 G)
Conclusion

We set the values of max_sort_length back to the defaults. Our problems disappeared and we got working and much faster SELECT queries.

Do not needlessly change default values of MySQL without proving the impact. It can become worse than before!!!

The default value of max_sort_length is a good compromise between performance and an appropriate sort length.

Addendum

What I really did not like on this solution was, that I did not understand the way the problem occurred. So I did some more investigation in this. We were discussing forth and back if this could be because of XFS, because of sparse files or some kind of memory mapped files (see also man mmap).

At the end I had the idea to look at the lsof command during my running query:

mysql> SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY field5, field4, field3, field2, field1; ERROR 3 (HY000): Error writing file '/tmp/MYBuWcXP' (Errcode: 28 - No space left on device) shell> lsof -p 14733 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME mysqld 14733 mysql 32u REG 8,18 9705619456 30147474 /tmp/MYck8vf4 (deleted) mysqld 14733 mysql 49u REG 8,18 749797376 30147596 /tmp/MYBuWcXP (deleted)

So it looks like that there were some deleted files which were growing!

Further information from the IRC channel led me to the libc temporary files (see also man 3 tmpfile).

And some hints from MadMerlin|work pointed me to:

shell> ls /proc//fd

Beware of large MySQL max_sort_length parameter

Shinguz - Wed, 2016-08-24 23:40

Today we had a very interesting phenomena at a customer. He complained that MySQL always get some errors of the following type:

[ERROR] mysqld: Sort aborted: Error writing file '/tmp/MYGbBrpA' (Errcode: 28 - No space left on device)

After a first investigation we found that df -h /tmp shows from time to time a full disk but we could not see any file with ls -la /tmp/MY*.

After some more investigation we found even the query from the Slow Query Log which was producing the same problem. It looked similar to this query:

SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY field5, field4, field3, field2, field1;

Now we were capable to simulate the problem at will with the following table:

CREATE TABLE `test` ( `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `data` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL, `ts` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, `field1` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL, `field2` varchar(16) DEFAULT NULL, `field3` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, `field4` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, `field5` varchar(32) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=8912746 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 ;

An we have seen the query in SHOW PROCESSLIST:

But we were still not capable to see who or better how the hell mysqld is filling our disk!

I remembered further that I have seen some strange settings in the my.cnf before when we did the review of the database configuration. But I ignored them somehow.

[mysqld] max_sort_length = 8M sort_buffer_size = 20M

Now I remembered again these settings. We changed max_sort_length back to default 1k and suddenly our space problems disappeared!

We played a bit around with different values of max_sort_length and got the following execution times for our query:

max_sort_lengthexecution time [s]comment 64 8.8 s128 8.2 s256 9.3 s512 11.8 s 1k 14.9 s 2k 20.0 s 8k129.0 s 8M 75.0 sdisk full (50 G)
Conclusion

We set the values of max_sort_length back to the defaults. Our problems disappeared and we got working and much faster SELECT queries.

Do not needlessly change default values of MySQL without proving the impact. It can become worse than before!!!

The default value of max_sort_length is a good compromise between performance and an appropriate sort length.

Addendum

What I really did not like on this solution was, that I did not understand the way the problem occurred. So I did some more investigation in this. We were discussing forth and back if this could be because of XFS, because of sparse files or some kind of memory mapped files (see also man mmap).

At the end I had the idea to look at the lsof command during my running query:

mysql> SELECT * FROM test ORDER BY field5, field4, field3, field2, field1; ERROR 3 (HY000): Error writing file '/tmp/MYBuWcXP' (Errcode: 28 - No space left on device) shell> lsof -p 14733 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME mysqld 14733 mysql 32u REG 8,18 9705619456 30147474 /tmp/MYck8vf4 (deleted) mysqld 14733 mysql 49u REG 8,18 749797376 30147596 /tmp/MYBuWcXP (deleted)

So it looks like that there were some deleted files which were growing!

Further information from the IRC channel led me to the libc temporary files (see also man 3 tmpfile).

And some hints from MadMerlin|work pointed me to:

shell> ls /proc//fd

Where you can also see those temporary files.

Thanks to MadMerlin|work for the hints!

Multiple MySQL Instances on a Single Machine

Jörg Brühe - Thu, 2016-07-28 13:11

Typically, on a single machine (be it a physical or a virtual one) only a single MySQL instance (process) is running. This is perfectly ok for all those situations where a single instance is sufficient, like for storing small amounts of data (RedHat using MySQL for postfix, KDE using it for akonadi, ...), as well as those where a dedicated machine per MySQL instance is appropriate (high CPU load, memory fully loaded, availability requirements).

But there are also those users who want to (or would like to) have multiple instances which would still fit into a single machine. Even among them, a single instance per machine is typical. For this, there are good reasons:

MySQL comes with defaults for files (config file, error log, ...) and directories (data directory, binlogs, ...) which would cause conflicts between multiple instances (unless they are changed).
The scripts coming with MySQL, especially the automated start/stop with machine reboot/shutdown, are written for a single instance only.
Last but not least: The instructions. those in the manual as well as the many "How to setup ..." in the Web, cover a single instance only.

Because of this, users often either restrict themselves to a single instance, or they set up several virtual machines (or containers) holding a single instance each.

But that overhead (both in software and in labour) isn't necessary: There is a way out, supporting easy handling of multiple MySQL instances on a single machine directly, without containers or VMs. This is our "MyEnv" package, available for download here, licensed under the GPL.

What Does MyEnv Do?

MyEnv cares about two aspects which in combination provide easy use of multiple instances:

It helps to configure multiple MySQL instances without overlap, so they won't collide with each other.
It maintains separate environments, each to manage and access one specific instance.

Each environment contains the path to the binaries (so the instances can use different versions), the config file, the socket and port number, data directory, error log etc. The environment is specified by a name (choose a meaningful one!), and it is switched by using its name as a shell command. (MyEnv creates an alias for that.)

Administrative commands like "start" and "stop" will manage the instance of the current environment. MySQL client programs like "mysql" or "mysqldump" will access that instance.

MyEnv supports the autostart of instances at machine boot, configurable per instance - something which is impossible using only the tools of a MySQL distribution.

Of course, an instance started via MyEnv (either manually or via autostart) can be accessed by any other client program on the machine, or from any other machine in the network - all that is needed is the specification of the proper socket or network port.

Handling Multiple Binaries

In the previous section, I wrote the instances can use different versions. This is done by installing those different versions into different locations, controlled by MyEnv, and the directory with the binaries will become a component of the user's PATH variable, switched when the environment is switched. Obviously, this works only if the destination path of the installation can be controlled, which implies the tar.gz format - RPM or DEB packages have fixed destinations, so different versions would overwrite each other on installation.
But that is no severe limitation, as all MySQL versions are available in tar.gz format, and these are sufficiently generic to run on any reasonably current Linux distribution.
(Yes, that is something I forgot to mention: MyEnv is developed and tested on Linux only. You are welcome to try it on any other Unix platform, and we will gladly listen to your experiences and accept your contributions, but we do not actively pursue non-Linux platforms.)

This support for multiple versions makes MyEnv the perfect tool for application development: Using a single machine, you can let your application access the MySQL servers of different versions and can verify it works the way you want it to.

Similar, you can install binaries of MySQL (Oracle), Percona Server, or MariaDB, and verify your application is portable across them.

And the adventurous among us can use different binaries, from the same or different vendor(s), to test whether replication works across versions and/or vendors, all without the effort of installing a separate VM or container setup.

MyEnv and Galera Cluster Till now, I mentioned MySQL (and its variants), and many readers may associate that term with a traditional single instance. So I better state explicitly: Of course, such an instance can take part in replication, in any role: master, slave, or intermediate in multi-level replication.

But besides single instances and replication, there exists a different MySQL setup: Nodes combined to form a Galera Cluster. And again, let me state explicitly: Again of course, an instance controlled by MyEnv can be a node participating in a Galera Cluster.

Those readers who have experiance with Galera Cluster (or who have just read the documentation or blogs about it) know that to start the first node of a cluster a special command is needed, called "bootstrap" - a simple "start" will not do. So this command was also added to MyEnv, it can manage a Galera Cluster completely by its builtin commands.

RPM and DEB packages Above, I wrote that to install different versions you cannot use RPM or DEB packages. I did not write that MyEnv cannot use RPM or DEB - in fact it can, the absolute path names in these formats just limit this to a single version.

So you can install the RPM or DEB of your choice, disable its autostart, and then call MyEnv to create multiple instances. You will give them different names, specify different sockets and ports and use different data directories, but for all of them you will specify the same path "/usr". As a result, MyEnv will simply manage multiple instances of the same version.

You can configure them differently to test the consequences, or you can set them up to replicate among them - master and slave can run on the same machine. Of course, this will not give you the "high availability" or the "scale-out" benefits which are the typical reasons to use replication, but I trust this wasn't your purpose for this test.

Using binaries that include Galera, and configuring them properly, you can even run all nodes of a Galera Cluster as separate instances on a single machine. That may be considered to stretch the concept, because a single machine is a very different setup than separate machines, but it gives an idea of the possibilities opened by MyEnv.

Typical Use of MyEnv

Admitted: The claim to know what MyEnv is used for by others would be arrogant, and I do not uphold it. Nonetheless, we do know some use cases of people who downloaded MyEnv, and they are close to our internal use of the tool.

MyEnv allows to have multiple MySQL instances on the same machine, to manage them separately, and to access them using MySQL client programs or other applications. So it is the perfect setup for all those who need to access different versions: developers and software testers.

When we encounter some unexpected behaviour, we often want to know whether it is specific to some version or series, or is widespread. To check that, MyEnv is the perfect infrastructure: You write a test case to provoke the effect and run it on several versions, then you note the result and can tell whether it exists "since ages" or is new, whether it still occurs in current versions or will change with an upgrade - exactly the information you need to decide about an upgrade or write a bug report.

Database administrators and application developers use it to avoid nasty surprises with new versions, so their production instances will not suffer from unexpected functional changes. Setting up a test environment, especially for multiple versions, becomes cheap, much less ressources are needed. You don't need to copy your test code onto different machines, and you are sure you are running identical tests, so that you won't compare apples and oranges.

Invitation

If all that made you curious, I invite you to look into the instructions, to download MyEnv and to try it. And of course, your feedback and reports are very welcome.

Take care!

Appendix: Where to Meet Us

All FromDual colleagues will deliver talks at the FrOSCon in St. Augustin near Cologne, Germany, on August 20 and 21, so that is a good opportunity for personal contact. As several talks will be delivered in English, the conference also meets the needs of attendants who cannot follow a German talk - check the programme. Froscon is a famous event, very interesting talks are promised, and I look forward to enjoy the community atmosphere there.

I will deliver a talk at the "Open Source Backup Conference" in Cologne, Germany, on September 26 and 27; this conference is held in English.

I do not have feedback yet about Percona Live in Amsterdam, I may attend that also.

And finally, FromDual will again have a booth and deliver talks at the DOAG conference on November 15 - 18 in Nuremberg, Germany. This is "the" event for Oracle users (at least in Germany, maybe in all Europe), and it has a separate track dealing with MySQL only.

We will be delighted to meet you face to face!
