Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Marco Tusa; What you may not know about random number generation in sysbenchSysbench is a well known and largely used tool to perform benchmarking. Originally written by Peter Zaitsev in early 2000, it has become a de facto standard when performing testing and benchmarking. Nowadays it is maintained by Alexey Kopytov and can be found in Github at https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench. What I have noticed though, is that while widely-used, some aspects of sysbench are not really familiar to many.

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Severalnines; One of the key factors of a performant MySQL database server is having good memory allocation and utilization, especially when running it in a production environment. But how can you determine if the MySQL utilization is optimized? Is it reasonable to have high memory utilization or does it require fine tuning? What if I come up against a memory leak? Let's cover these topics and show the things you can check in MySQL to determine traces of high memory utilization. Memory Allocation in MySQL Before we delve into the specific subject title, I'll just give ... Read More

Long-running queries are seldom inevitable in a MySQL database. In some circumstances, a long-running query may be a harmful event. If ... Read More
