After discussing with Simon about some issues when trying to recompile MySQL 8.0.34 on CentOS 9 (see #111159), I also tried it and indeed some dependencies are not listed when compiling via the source RPM.

Let’s see how to recompile the two latest versions of MySQL (8.0.34 and 8.1.0) using the source RPMs.

I use Oracle Linux 9 as build machine.

Getting the source RPM

To get the source RPM, you need first to install the MySQL Community’s repo:

$ sudo dnf install …

Working with my students to create an Ubuntu virtual environment for Python development with the MySQL database. After completing the general provisioning covered in this older post, I’d recommend you create a python symbolic link before installing the MySQL-Python driver.

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

You install the Python development driver with the following:

sudo apt-get -y install python3-mysql.connector

Create a python_connect.py file to test your Python deployment’s ability to connect to the MySQL database:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Import the library.
import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import errorcode
 
try:
  # Open connection.
  cnx = mysql.connector.connect(user='student', password='student',
                                host='localhost', …

Here’s a quick catalog for my students of PowerShell, JavaScript, and Python examples connecting to MySQL:

• MySQL Powershell Connection with ODBC DSN Example
• MySQL Powershell with CSV File Write Example
• MySQL Powershell with Dialog for Dynamic Connection Inputs

OpenLiteSpeed is a lightweight and open-source version of the LiteSpeed Server developed by LiteSpeed Technologies. It supports Apache Rewrite rules, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, TLS v1.3, and QUIC protocol.

Recently, while doing a test process to examine resource usage and the time required to alter the table using pt-osc, it leads to a loss of triggers even though the –preserve-triggers option is specified. I made the decision to recreate the identical circumstance so that everyone could see it.

Test environment : 

OS: Amazon Linux 2

MySQL version: 5.7.40

pt-online-schema-change version: 3.1.0

Before digging deeper, we must first obtain the whole picture. Here is an illustration of the table’s structure.

Table structure:

LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) Architecture is very flexible. All the components can be positioned on the same server or different servers. The servers are divided into two types. The types are known as the Application or database tiers. Generally, the application tier holds the Apache Server, any Apache Modules, and local copies of Server Side Includes (SSI) programs.

In many development environments, you also deploy the client to the same machine. This means a single machine runs the database server, the application server, and the browser. The lab for this section assumes these configurations.

Before you test an installation, you should make sure that you’ve started the database and Apache server. In an Oracle LAMP configuration (known as an OLAP – Oracle, Linux, Apache, Perl/PHP/Python), you must start both the Oracle Listener and …

AlmaLinux doesn’t natively support MySQL Workbench but these notes will help you install it. The great news is that MySQL Workbench works perfectly once you’ve installed all the dependent libraries. It’ll look like the following:

Disclaimer of sorts:

AlmaLinux is an open-source, community-driven project that intends to fill the gap left by the demise of the CentOS stable release. AlmaLinux is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL® 9 and it is built by the AlmaLinux OS Foundation as a standalone, completely free OS. The AlmaLinux OS Foundation will support future RHEL® releases by updating AlmaLinux. Ongoing development efforts are governed by the members of the community.

You can download MySQL Workbench from the following website:

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench

When you open this page, select the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 / Oracle Linux 9 (x86, 64-bit), RPM Package from the dropdown …

Linux has a reputation as an operating system for programmers. So, if you are a software developer who designs MySQL-based solutions, chances are high that you will do it on Linux. Thus, it would be great to have a MySQL IDE for Linux to simplify the work. But the question arises: is there an appropriate […]

After installing and configuring MySQL 8.0.30, I installed the Apache Web Server, PHP and the MySQLi packages. Here are the step-by-step instructions after installing and configuring the MySQL Server and provisioning a student user and the sakila and studentdb databases (blog for those steps). After installing the major components, I completed the HTTPS configuration steps for Apache 2.

The installation steps are:

1. Install the Apache packages as the sudoer user with this command:

   sudo dnf install -y httpd
   

2. Enable Apache as the sudoer user with this command:

   chkconfig httpd on
   

   This returns the following completion message:

   Note: Forwarding request to 'systemctl enable httpd.service'.
   Created symlink …

After installing and configuring MySQL 8.0.30, I installed the Python connector. During that process on AlmaLinux, there were several changes since I last installed the Python’s mysql module. Here are the step-by-step instructions after installing and configuring MySQL Server (blog for those steps).

Using the MySQL Connector/Python X DevAPI Reference, you must install the pip utility before you install the library. You install the pip library as a sudoer user with the following command:

sudo yum install -y pip

Then, using the pip utility as a sudoer user install the mysql-connector-python module with the following command:

sudo pip install mysql-connector-python

Please note that this …
