[Maria-discuss] MariaDB Connector C 3.1 ABI contract broken in latest release
by Otto Kekäläinen 04 Mar '23

04 Mar '23

Hello! After uploading MariaDB 10.3.38 in Debian I started seeing reports about libmariadb3 being broken for some consumers. Turns out that the function mysql_get_client_version() had a major behavior change in the latest MariaDB Connector C 3.1.20 which is embedded in the MariaDB 10.3 build. Details in PR https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/mariadb-connector-c/pull/219. Affected library consumers are listed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031863#86 Unfortunately it might be too late to fix this, the milk is already spilled. Could you please in future keep as the engineering policy that *libraries are not allowed to have backwards-incompatible changes* unless the soname/version is also bumped. You might add a new symbol in an existing library version without causing breakage in library consumers, but you cannot remove any symbols/functions, or change their behavior significantly. In this case you completely changed what version the library returns. Please acknowledge these base rules and be more diligent in the future to avoid risks. Also, if you want to introduce libmariadb4, please do it on MariaDB 11.0 or newer only, and don't change any ABI in existing stable releases of libmariadb3. Thanks!

[Maria-discuss] EXPLAIN Analyser / Usage statistics
by Colin Charles 02 Mar '23

02 Mar '23

Hi, What might have happened to the EXPLAIN Analyzer https://mariadb.org/explain_analyzer/ It is now returning 404 not found Similarly, if you click https://mariadb.org/about/#usage-statistics (usage statistics at the bottom of every page) you’re also getting things like “oops that page can’t be found” e.g. https://mariadb.org/feedback_plugin/stats/server_count_by_month/ While I’m at it, it might also be that the download stats haven’t been updated since January? https://mariadb.org/statistics/ (I think Andrew fixed this in December, but maybe the Docker container died again) cheers, -c -- Colin Charles, http://bytebot.net/blog/ twitter: @bytebot | skype: colincharles "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi

[Maria-discuss] Creating a trigger on information_schema.processlist
by Gordan Bobic 28 Feb '23

28 Feb '23

A long standing annoyance has been that stored procedures are opaque when it comes to profiling them with more granularity than just the entire procedure. SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST shows the individual queries while they are running, but polling SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST or SELECT * FROM information_schema.PROCESSLIST is not a practical solution because you can only poll it so many times per second without crippling the server. So I had the idea to hook triggers to information_schema.PROCESSLIST to capture the changes to the INFO column and shunt them into mysql.slow_log. But MariaDB informs them that root isn't privileged enough to crate a trigger in information_schema. Is there another way to augment slow logging granularity of queries that execute as part of the stored procedure?

[Maria-discuss] Mariadb 10.4 to 10.6 performance regression
by Reinis Rozitis 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hello, for testing the upgrade path I did an in-place slave server (with optimistic parallel replication) upgrade from 10.4.26 to 10.6.11, but the performance difference is so significant/abysmal I don't even know where to look at (see the attached QPS chart before and after upgrade - it's like 2-3x times lower!). All the previous settings/configuration are kept. I have various server parameters monitored but none seem to indicate why would everything become way slower (see for example the disk write operations also are 2-3 times lower). Maybe someone can give an idea where to look or what to check what could make such an impact? p.s. I know about https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-29988 but I don't think that I'm hitting it since the cpu load hasn't changed (is even lower). wbr rr

[Maria-discuss] Branch 10.4 conflict
by Otto Kekäläinen 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hello! My local branch of 10.4 was at commit https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/9335e2a2b1d555d2ad83ae6f44acb8467c… and pulling from upstream causes now conflicts. Did somebody (Jan?) overwrite git history recently for mariadb-server or what might be going on? - Otto

Is there any way to check the Data corruption issue in the specific table? a. Tried to check via mysqlcheck but it consumes more time and IO utilization. b. Do we have any other option to check the same in a better way? 1. If we have a problem with DB table entries do we have options to solve this a. Either restarting the active DB or other ways to repair the data to solve the issue like mysqlcheck repair. 1. Not sure why we see NULL in key, Key_len, and possible_key for the first explain statement for the same table. Regards, Ragul R

[Maria-discuss] [newbie] Include latest ID into INSERT?
by Gilles 23 Jan '23

23 Jan '23

Hello, I need to write a script in SQL to import topics + posts into a phpBB forum. The issue I have is: How can I reference the last topic ID when adding a post to it, since a post must reference a topic? ============ #Create new topic (ie. discussion thread) INSERT INTO `phpbb_topics` (forum_id,topic_title,topic_poster,topic_time) VALUES (); #Add first post to topic #INSERT INTO `phpbb_posts` (topic_id,forum_id,poster_id,post_time,post_username,post_text) VALUES (); INSERT INTO `phpbb_posts` (SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID(),forum_id,poster_id,post_time,post_username,post_text) VALUES (); ============ Can it be done in SQL, or should I write it in eg. Python? Thank you.
