Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Federico Razzoli; Replication MySQL supports what it calls replication filters. They allow to decide which tables are replicated, and which are not. They can be set on a slave to filter-in tables and databases: the slave will not replicate everything from the master, but only the specified databases and tables. Or they can filter-out tables and databases: the specified databases and tables will be ignored, everything else will be replicated. Or we can use a combination of in-filters and out-filters. And we can filter specific databases, specific tables, or patterns for table names (for example, all ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL Performance Blog; Making backups over the network can be done in two ways: either save on disk and transfer or just transfer without saving. Both ways have their strong and weak points. The second way, particularly, is highly dependent on the upload speed, which would either reduce or increase the backup time. Other factors that influence it are chunk size and the number of upload threads.Percona XtraBackup 2.4.14 has gained S3 streaming, which is the capability to upload backups directly to s3-compatible storage without saving locally first.
