The data.table package enables high-performance extended functionality for data tables in R. treedata.table is a wrapperfor data.table for phylogenetic analyses that matches a phylogeny to the data.table, and preserves matching during data.table operations.Using the data.table package greatly increases analysis reproducibility and the efficiency of data manipulation operations over other ways of performing similar tasks inbase R, enabling processing of larger trees and datasets. Why use treedata.table? Simultaneous processing of phylogenetic trees and data remains a computationally-intensive task.For example, processing a tree alongside a dataset of phylogenetic characters means processing much ...

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: David Yeager; In this post I describe the various steps that allowed me to reach 3.6 million queries per second on a single VM instance using MySQL 8.0 with the help of Dynimize.It's not every day that you get to break a record. So when I discovered that you can now rent by the hour massive instances within Google Compute Cloud that support 224 virtual cores based on AMD EPYC 2 Rome processors, I had to jump at the opportunity to see what kind low hanging fruit might be out there.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Kristian Köhntopp; A question to the internal #DBA channel at work: »Is it possible to change a column type from BIGINT to VARCHAR ? Will the numbers be converted into a string version of the number or will be it a byte-wise transition that will screw the values?«Further asking yielded more information: »The use-case is to have strings, to have UUIDs.« So we have two questions to answer: Is ALTER TABLE t CHANGE COLUMN c lossy? INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT vs. UUID Is ALTER TABLE t CHANGE COLUMN c lossy? ALTER TABLE is not lossy. We can test ... Read More

These goals, which are commonly referred to as the Global Goals, serve as a universal promise—an ambitious pledge to build a better future for people and planet by 2030. This year marks the final 10-year stretch to turn the Global Goals into reality. Typically, I’d say 10 years feels more like a lifetime away, but not when I look at the magnitude of these goals—ending poverty, combating climate change, ensuring global food security, and creating access to decent work ...

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. I have previously written a blog post on the detailed steps involved in enabling PostgreSQL monitoring using PMM. In that post, you could see me talking about the role: pg_monitor that can be granted to monitoring users. The pg_monitor role restricts a monitoring user from accessing user data but only grants access to statistic views needed for monitoring. The following are the simple steps to create a monitoring user for using Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM). CREATE USER pmm_user WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'secret'; GRANT pg_monitor to pmm_user;CREATE USER pmm_user WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'secret'; GRANT pg_monitor to pmm_user;However, ... Read More
