    • Optimize MySQL schema and indexes to support efficient queries.
    • Instrument applications to measure performance.
    • Use successful patterns behind MySQL applications, and avoid design decisions that don’t fit MySQL very well.

  • This MySQL workshop will cover:
    • Understand MySQL versions and forks—including which versions and editions you should run.
    • Understand how various system components could be a bottleneck for MySQL: CPU, disks, memory, network; and how to use diagnostic tools in Linux.
    • Investigate database trends via the counters exposed in MySQL’s SHOW GLOBAL STATUS.
    • Backup & restore MySQL and InnoDB data, and describe the advantages of common backup methods (mysqldump, file system snapshot, InnoDB hot backup).
    • Setup and administer MySQL replication.
    • Monitor MySQL servers in production.
    • Discuss security issues with MySQL.
    • Solve via case-study some real-life problems that Percona consultants faced in MySQL.
    • Understand the basic operation of InnoDB—including how data is stored on disk and in memory.
    • Understand what InnoDB does internally when data is written, and how features like the transaction log files and undo space work.
    • See how key features of InnoDB work, including clustered indexes, insert buffer, adaptive hash and double write buffer.
    • Learn to read diagnostic information from InnoDB and make informed decisions while changing configuration.
    • Discover how Percona Server with XtraDB can provide better diagnostics and performance
