Infrastructure at your Service
I’m currently setting up a lab for Nutanix Era in order to be able to provide some presentation on this subject and see how Nutanix Era interacts with Oracle databases. I therefore thought it would be certainly helpful and a good opportunity to share the feedback I’m getting from this experience. The lab has been built using Nutanix Cluster free trial integrated with our AWS Cloud account. This fist blog intends to provide only a…
You might know that since ODA 19.10, the ODA metadata database is now stored in a MySQL database and not in the apache derby database any more. During a patching to 19.10 or 19.11 from a release earlier than 19.10, the apache derby database will be migrated to a mysql database. This is performed during the odacli update-dcscomponent command. Starting 19.10, DCS Agent will then use MySQL server to display any metadata information, as for…
On a previous blog post, we saw how to create an account on the Oracle OCI using the Oracle Cloud Free Tier offer and then how to instal MySQL Server on the Compute instance. Some weeks later, the new MySQL Database Service (MDS) was out and I can show you now how to install and configure it.
If you are thinking about to move your MySQL databases to the Cloud but you are still reticent, you can maybe use the “Oracle Cloud Free Tier” offer to test it.
A new release of MySQL was out on July 13 (8.0.21). Among all the changes, there are some that I have already tested and that I really appreciate.
The authentication, the first level of security for each IT system, is the stage to verify the user identity through the basic username and password scheme. It is crucial to have a mechanism to protect and secure password storing and transmitting over network. In MySQL, there is plenty of different authentication methods available, and last versions improved the security of this concept.
By Franck Pachot What I want to show in this blog post is that, as in mathematics where you have to apply some algebra rules to transform an equation to an equivalent one, the database developer must translate the business specification to an equivalent that is optimized (in performance, reliability and readability) for the data model. I was looking at the Sakila sample database provided with MySQL. It simulates a DVD rental store. For my…
As I discussed in some of my recent talks at conferences (at the DOAG for example), MySQL 8 came out with new features which bring lots of improvements in terms of security.
Each year, since the company creation in 2010, dbi services attends the DOAG conference in Nürnberg. Since 2013 we even have a booth. The primary goal of participating to the DOAG Conference, is to get an overview about the main trends in the Oracle business. Furthermore, this conference and our booth allow us to welcome our Swiss and German customers and thank them for their trust. They’re always pleased to receive some nice Swiss Chocolate…
For this last day (25.10.2018) at Oracle Open World my first technical session was “Replication what’s new in MySQL 8“. This session was given by Nuno Carvalho – Oracle MySQL Principal Software Engineer, Vitor Oliveira – Oracle MySQL Performance Architect, Louis Soares – Oracle MySQL Software Development Director. You can find the list of new features linked with MySQL InnoDB Cluster here. They introduced the session with the challenges a database has to face today: We…
