The X DevAPI allows you to work with JSON documents and SQL tables at the same time. Furthermore, the CRUD style API is more intuitive than SQL statements for some programmers. Either way, the X DevAPI allows you to mix JSON documents, SQL tables, CRUD methods, and SQL statements to give you the best of all worlds. In MySQL Connector/Python, the X DevAPI is implemented in the mysqlx module.

This blog will look at how MySQL Connector/Python handles expressions, and how you in version 8.0.14 and later need to use the mysqlx.expr() method to explicitly define expressions.

MySQL Server has a feature where you can insert data into a table from a file with the data delimited by commas, tabs, or another delimiter. This is particularly useful when you need to bulk import data, for example when restoring a backup or migrating data from one system to another including from another database product than MySQL. The mysqldump backup utility is an example of a program that supports exporting the data to delimited text files.

The statement to load the data is LOAD DATA INFILE. By default the file must be server-side and MySQL …

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.15 is the latest GA release version of the
MySQL Connector Python 8.0 series. The X DevAPI enables application
developers to write code that combines the strengths of the relational
and document models using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that does not
assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/. For more information
about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL Connector/Python, and its
usage, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-python.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version 8.0
or higher with the X Plugin …

One of the new features in MySQL 8.0.14 is support for encrypting the binary logs. While encryption makes the data more secure (provided the key is secret of course), it can make life a bit more difficult in terms of how easy it is to do tasks such as point-in-time recoveries. This blog shows how you can use the binlog_decrypt.py Python script to decrypt the binary logs as long as you have the keyring that was used to encrypt it.

Introduction and Background

João Gramacho wrote a nice blog how you can use standard Linux programs to decrypt the binary logs. This inspired me to consider implementing …

The post Create Aurora Read Replica With AWS CLI/Lambda Python appeared first on SQLgossip.

Today I was working for a scaleable solution in Aurora. Im going to publish that blog post soon in Searce Blog. As a part of this solution, I want to create Aurora read replicas programmatically. So we have done the create aurora read replica with AWS CLI and Lambda with Python. If you refer the AWS Doc, they mentioned there is no separate module for creating Aurora Read replica in boto3 or cli. Instead we can use create-db-instance. Many people may confused with this term. This blog will help them to create aurora read replicas using AWS CLI and Lambda.

Required Permission:

If you are running this code via lambda then you can use the below policy.

• Lambda - Create a new role for lambda and attach inline policy
• EC2 Role - Create a new …

The MySQL X DevAPI is the new API that provides a uniform API across the supported programming languages. It has from the beginning supported that you can specify a default schema, when you connect. Originally it was not used for SQL statements. Starting with MySQL 8.0.14 the feature has been extended, so SQL statements take the default schema into consideration as well. This blog will explore how this works using MySQL Connector/Python. If you use a different programming language, the change will work in a similar way.

In order to explore the feature, a sample program is needed. A simple program that prints the MySQL Connector/Python version, queries the city table in the default schema, and either …

Maybe the biggest new feature in MySQL 8 is the new transaction data dictionary that improves the consistency of schema objects among other things. To further protect the data in the data dictionary, the data dictionary tables are hidden and their content only exposed through the Information Schema. (One exception is when you use the debug binary, then it is possible to get direct access to the data dictionary tables. This is not recommended at all on production systems!)

A side effect of the data dictionary tables being hidden is that those that have had a habit of manipulating the tables directly in MySQL 5.7 and earlier (I will not recommend doing that) will no longer be able to do so. Examples of manipulating the tables include …

If you have an application that need to use multiple connections to the MySQL database for short periods of times, it can be a good to use a connection pool to avoid creating a new connection and going through the whole authentication process every time a connection is needed. For the Python Database API (PEP249), MySQL Connector/Python has had support for connection pools for a long time. With the release of MySQL 8.0.13, the new X DevAPI also has support for connection pools.

This blog will first cover the background of the X DevAPI connection pool feature in MySQL Connector/Python. Then …
