This topic is about general usage for MySQL Shell and X-Plugin.
The most important thing, i think we should keep in mind that, the X-Plugin will listen not MySQL’s port, but it’s own 33060 port as shown from log:

2016-07-15T07:21:09.454761Z 200 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'X plugin tcp connection enable at port 33060.'
2016-07-15T07:21:09.454959Z 200 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'Scheduler "work" started.'
2016-07-15T07:21:09.454976Z 200 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'X plugin initialization successes'
2016-07-15T07:21:09.484303Z 201 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'Using existing mysqlxsys@localhost account for authentication. Incomplete grants will be fixed'
2016-07-15T07:21:09.501627Z 0 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'Using OpenSSL for TCP connections'
2016-07-15T07:21:09.501752Z 0 [Note] Plugin mysqlx reported: 'Server starts handling incoming connections'

Errant transactions are a major issue when using GTID replication. Although this isn’t something new, the drawbacks are more notorious with GTID than with regular replication.

The situation where errant transaction bites you is a common DBA task: Failover. Now that tools like MHA have support for GTID replication (starting from 0.56 version), this protocol is becoming more popular, and so are the issues with errant transactions. Luckily, the fix is as simple as …

Automation software like Puppet, Chef, and Ansible can quickly load software on virtual servers. But how do you get your MySQL database instances loaded on these new servers? And how do you do it securely? Lets start with a fairly common pairing.

Ansible and Vagrant work very well together and the documentation for getting both to work together is rather extensive. BTW the newest version VirtualBox is 5.0 was recently released with a large number of improvements. Follow the documentation at their respective sites to get VirtualBox, Vagrant, and Ansible installed.

The linchpin is the Vagrantfile which controls how Vagrant starts the server. Inside this file we pull in an Ansible playbook.

In previous topic, we have covered “Transportable Tablespace” concept by copying and importing table’s tablespace to remote server. See -> Copying Tablespaces to Remote Server

The idea is copying tablespace file to remote server, in remote server you must create identical database names and table names manually, then you should discard new table’s tablespace file and import new copied one.

To achieve this you must have running MySQL version >= 5.6, innodb_file_per_table=1 and you must know “CREATE statement” of table.

Let’s to change our test condition. Assume that, you have MySQL server and you have taken physical backup of your server (you can use Percona XtraBackup, …

As you know there is a great toolset named “MySQL Utilities”, which you can use for solving various administrative tasks.
mysqldiskusage utility is for calculating MySQL Server’s disk usage and generating informative reports.
Of course this project is open source and everybody could review the source code.
A few words about how mysqldiskusage calculates database disk usage will be crucial for understanding algorithm.
The source tree is: mysql-utilities-1.5.4/scripts/mysqldiskusage.py
If you open this Python file you will see (line 169-175) :

 # We do database disk usage by default.
    try:
        diskusage.show_database_usage(servers[0], datadir, args, options)
    except UtilError:
        _, e, _ = sys.exc_info()
        print("ERROR: %s" % e.errmsg)
        sys.exit(1)

Data inconsistencies in replication environments are a pretty common. There are lots of posts that explain how to fix those using pt-table-checksum and pt-table-sync. Usually we only care about the data but from time to time we receive this question in support:

How can I check the table definition consistency between servers?

Replication also allow us to have different table definition between master and slaves. For example, there are some cases that you need some indexes on slaves for querying purposes but are not really needed on the master. There are some other cases where those differences are just a mistake that needs to be fixed.
