[Maria-discuss] AWS Key Management plugin
by Christopher Hendry 10 May '17

10 May '17

Currently configuring MariaDB for at rest encryption using Amazon key management. A few weeks ago, I setup our primary server with no problems (Centos 7). Recently, working on the same hardware/OS for slaves - when I do a yum install MariaDB-aws-key-management I get: "No package MariaDB-aws-key-management available." I did discover that since the first successful install, the RPM versions have changed from 10.1.22 to 10.1.23 (and have included some config options for 10.2 that need to be commented out). I also believe that originally I had to change plugin-maturity in config = alpha - but that makes no difference now. Anyone know what happened to the plugin? I can copy the original one from my primary server and all works fine - but I don't love that approach. Is aws-key-management plugin still supported? Thanks for any insight.

Well, clicking around, selecting things, switching to keyboards, and so on, can hardly be faster than writing an SQL statement - provided that you learn ALTER TABLE syntax. But, apart from that, I think that we mostly agree on everything except one thing: the meaning of enterprise. In an enterprise environment a DBA needs to automate everything and write scripts. Also, as I wrote before and the author of that post also says, GUI's are not reliable, you never know exactly what they do. That said, I suppose that GUIs can be useful for someone, especially for developers and hobbyists.

That's great he has an opinion that you share, I am sure I can find many more that say the opposite. What I got from his post is there are some things a gui cannot do, which is of course the case. So? The opposite is true also, if you add the word quickly. That does not make a point as universal true or factual. Should we abandon SNMP and other standards type network consoles (gui) since obviously we can do the same thing without them? You don't see the value is the gui network view? So, workbench feature of showing you a refreshing graphical status of your server isn't useful? It's not complete by any means, but it is useful, just like the connections screen showing running queries. Those are just examples which some will desire to pick on. But I think it's a reasonable view. My point is not guis are (always) better, they each have a place.

[Maria-discuss] MySQL Workbench Fork?

I convinced my boss to use MariaDB for a new project but it appears that the workbench is incompatible with new features of MariaDB. I've looked at the alternatives listed on the website, but they are all either proprietary or Windows only. I just can't sell my boss on switching to MariaDB without workbench. Free software isn't free, but I think Workbench is a big driver of commercial and enterprise use. It's easy to kvetch from the outside, but I feel as though MariaDB has just lost some ground. Has management considered forking Workbench? Thank you, -Zach Lym
