And reflecting the value we place on compatibility, we include symlinks for old binary names. We started renaming executables to mariadb in MariaDB Server 10.4, using symlinks from the legacy mysql names to the new mariadb executable names.

Feed: Recent Announcements. A query plan is a sequence of steps used to access data in a relational database management system (DBMS). The DBMS query optimizer choses from many alternative ways to execute a given query, with widely varying performance.

Correlating this performance data can take hours without specialized expertise.  RDS Performance Insights allows all database users to identify the most resource intensive SQL queries and from where they originated on a visual dashboard in seconds. Now, RDS ... Read More
