MySQL 8.0 table level replication in Windows

The way to achieve table-level replication in MySQL is to use the combination of two replication parameters named replicate-do-db and replicate-ignore-table along with other mandatory replication parameters. You need to identify the name of the database of your tables you need to replicate and from the database opt out the tables that you don’t want to replicate using the two parameters. Take a…

Obtain DDL scripts for MariaDB/MySQL schema objects

mysqldump backup utility of MySQL/MariaDB  supports the export of metadata or specifically creating DDL scripts with the option –no-data.

$ mysqldump -uroot -p test --no-data --routines --events --triggers > test_ddl.sql

Note: Remember to mention the –routines, –events and –triggers also to export the related objects.

Obtain DDL scripts for oracle schema objects

Background:

During the application development phase and more often the DDL needs to be backed up for the schema objects in .SQL format which supports the readability and recover or portability of the objects creation later on when needed. This could be easily done by the oracle data pump utility.

Workaround:

Step1: First make the export dump for the intended schema for the metadata only.

$ expdp…

MySQL Replication on CentOs 7: Configure binary log file position based replication (Fresh server with no data)

Prerequisites:

Two virtual machine each of 2GB RAM, 10 GB HDD and Two vCPU with CentOS 7 installed on these.

Workaround:

Configure the networking between two nodes:

Step1: Change the host name of the master node to master-node and make entries to the /etc/hosts file.

# hostnamectl set-hostname master-node # echo '192.168.56.103 master-node' >> /etc/hosts # echo '192.168.56.104 slave-node-01' >>…

Implement purging of table data by dropping partitions automatically

Applications generates temporary data which may need less than minutes to days, these data need to be purged to claim spaces on database and housekeeping. One way to do this is to create a partitioned table and drops the older partitions based on a regular interval.

The below example shows how to do this by dropping the oldest partition by a scheduler jobs.

Step1: Create a stored procedure which…

Interval partitioning in oracle

Range partitioning is a great way to manage historical data in oracle database, data to be inserted in a partitioned table should have the specific partition exists beforehand otherwise the insert operation will fail. How to create partition automatically when the data added to the table?

Interval partitioning is used to implement this feature which is an enhancement to the range partitioning.…

Background:In enterprises most cases their database infrastructures or applications are built on different databases, sometimes data needs to by transferred or synced from one database to another heterogenous database. Oracle supports heterogenous connectivity to popular databases like MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, DB2, Sybase and more on the list. Here we will try to establish connection from…
