[Maria-discuss] explain for insert/update/delete
by MARK CALLAGHAN 11 Jul '25

11 Jul '25

Does MariaDB have any plans to support explain for insert/update/delete/replace/CTAS? There have been feature requests open for a very long time on official MySQL without any progress. I have had a few problems in production from 'bad' delete statements that had a very different plan than the select statement with the same where clause. The only way to check for a bad plan today is to use SHOW INNODB STATUS to determine whether the statement locks all rows in a table. http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=14745 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35355 -- Mark Callaghan mdcallag(a)gmail.com

[Maria-discuss] MariaDB-10.2.11 Long Time To Start
by Michael Caplan 15 Mar '19

15 Mar '19

Hi, I'm setting up a replication slave based off of MySQL 5.6. There are a large number of tables (400K). The MySQL 5.6 master takes around 10 minutes to start up, where the new MariaDB 10.2 slave takes close to 30 minutes. What is making the startup take soo long? In the below mysql log, you can see in the startup sequence between "Highest supported file format is Barracuda." and "InnoDB: 128 out of 128 rollback segments are active." the startup process takes the majority of its time: 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Uses event mutexes 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.8 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Using Linux native AIO 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Number of pools: 1 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Using SSE2 crc32 instructions 2018-01-07 9:38:15 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, total size = 54G, instances = 8, chunk size = 128M 2018-01-07 9:38:18 139980432365760 [Note] InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool 2018-01-07 9:38:18 139918113195776 [Note] InnoDB: If the mysqld execution user is authorized, page cleaner thread priority can be changed.

[Maria-discuss] Chewing Through Swap - Swappiness = 0
by Michael Caplan 09 Mar '19

09 Mar '19

Hi, I'm trying to figure out why my recently put into production MariaDB is so swap hungry. I'm running 10.2.14, with roughly 300GB data (1000K +/- tables). 95% tables are innodb. I have 64GB RAM, with INNODB buffer pool size set to 50GB (full my.cnf below). The OS is Ubuntu 16.04.4. This is a dedicated MariaDB server. I have swappiness set to 0. I started with available swap set to just shy of 1GB. When swap got to 85% used, I bumped swap to 3GB. A day later, swap again was 85% used, and I bumped it to 5GB. A day later, swap again was 85% used, so I bumped it to 15GB. 2 days later 50% of the available swap was used. I restarted the DB moments ago, freeing up all 15GB but 128MB of swap: total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 62G 20G 4.7G 266M 37G 41G Swap: 14G 128M 14G My understanding is that the OS should never allocate swap when swappiness is 0, so that has me confused. I've had similar issues with MySQL 5.6 (what I upgraded from) dipping into swap, but that instance had swappiness set to 1, and never consumed more than 5GB of swap. Questions: 1) How much of this is an OS issue vs MariaDB issue? 2) What MariaDB config vars should I be looking at to fix this issue? 3) What linux config vars should I be looking at to fix this issue?

[Maria-discuss] How does InnoDB delete rows?
by Arlindo Neto 13 Sep '18

13 Sep '18

Hi everyone. I have some questions regarding InnoDB deletion process. As far as I know, when we issue a DELETE command to a row stored in a InnoDB table, the row contents are stored in the UNDO Log, and the contents of the row are only deleted when the last transaction after the DELETE transaction has finished. But what actually happens to the row that was deleted? Is any disk space ever released to the OS, or are the contents simply erased? Defragmenting a table is only done through OPTIMIZE TABLE, or are there any automatic threads responsible for rearranging the rows? And if the are no such threads, how do we maintain tables which suffer from many deletions? I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance, Arlindo Neto.

[Maria-discuss] mariadb CONNECT XML table type question
by Björn Hayer 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

Hi, I am using CONNECT for some XML files, but lately came to a problem I was unable to solve so far. The XML has the following structure: <PhysicalLocation> <Name>Address</Name> <Area type="countrycode"> <Value>DE</Value> </Area> <Area type="postalcode"> <Value>70173</Value> </Area> <Area type="municipality"> <Value>Stuttgart</Value> </Area> </PhysicalLocation> Is there a way to get a column for the value in e.g. area type=„countrycode"? Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks! Björn

[Maria-discuss] Looking for mariadb-plugin-aws-key-management package on Ubuntu 18.04
by James Colannino 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

Hi everyone, I'm new to the list. Please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but I've been following this document: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/aws-key-management-encryption-plugin-setu… I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, and after adding the MariaDB repos and installing MariaDB, I get to the point where I need to install the mariadb-plugin-aws-key-management package and am told that this package isn't found. I see that other plugin packages exist, but not this one. I've done a ton of Googling, and the only clue I've been able to find is that an old cached package list of a mirror used to have this package, while the current package list for the same mirror doesn't. Was this package removed at some point? If so, I can't find any documentation online that says this occurred. I'm really confused and frustrated and hoping to get this plugin installed. Thanks in advance! :)
