[Maria-discuss] 10.3.5 tokudb rpm missing for Opensuse
by Reinis Rozitis 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

Hello, It seems that the Mariadb 10.3.5 Tokudb rpm package hasn't been built (and replicated on mirrors) for Opensuse (though all other like SLES, Rhel, Centos do have it). rr

[Maria-discuss] Backing up a single database with mariabackup?
by Kevin Poitra 01 Mar '18

01 Mar '18

I've been working on redoing our database backup routines, and have looked into mariabackup as mysqldump doesn't cut it anymore given the size of our schemas. We have multiple schemas that need to be backed up - they all vary in size, and they also vary in backup frequency (some need to be backed up on a six hour period, others can go a day in between backups). On top of that, our database consists of two database servers, running in a master-slave configuration. To start, I ran this command against one of our schemas: mariabackup --backup --user root --password <pass> --databases db1 That generated a copy of the 'db1' schema's data files, along with some files used by MariaDB itself (aria_log, ib_buffer_pool, ib_logfile, ibdata, so on). This works perfectly - we can create separate backups of each of our schemas. Restoring seems to be another story however. After '--prepare'ing the backup and issuing the mariabackup --copy-back command, it complains that the data directory must be empty. If I have separated backups, would it be possible for me to restore those schemas under one database (or rather, one MariaDB instance)? To be even clearer, if I've made backups of schemas 'db1', 'db2', and 'db3', I don't seem to be able to restore them all under the same database instance - is there something I'm not understanding?

To support automatic key rotation every key additionally might have different versions. XtraDB and InnoDB can automatically re-encrypt the data from an older to a newer version of the same key. But how different keys are stored and rotated depends on the key management solution that you choose. but for this plugin file_key_management This plugin does not support key rotation — all keys always have the version 1. So I understand that I can't rotate the keys similar to what the AWS plugin provides. But if I need to change the key at any time, either just its encrypted form /etc/mariadb/keys.enc &/or the 'master' /etc/mariadb/keys.txt What's the procedure to re-key all the encrypted tables? Do I need to (1) stop the server (2) manually decrypt each table with its old key (3) reencrypt each table with the new key (4) restart the server ? True also for having used multiple keys for global/default, temp tables, and per-table? Is there any tool/procedure that automates that? I suppose that the AWS plugin takes care of that automated-rotation. Is there another non-commercial/open-source plugin with similar rotation capability?

[Maria-discuss] JSON column type
by Brent Clark 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Good day Guys I have a client that is looking for JSON support, or better 'JSON column type'. He is asking for MySQL/5.7.8 (Currently on MySQL 5.6). And his comment is : "/This is so that we can use the JSON column type introduced in this version." We don't use MySQL, well we shipping away to MariaDB. The question I would like to ask is. Based on reading : https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/best-both-worlds-relational-json Is it fair to say, the clients needs are met? If anyone has any comment or further thought on this matter or any tips to share it would gratefully be appreciated. Regards and many thanks. Brent Clark

Yes, I guess. It'll be consistent with what we do with the server. Of course, if you also have a solution how to reduce the number of packages, that'd be perfect :) Hmm, how about that? We rename the following packages to remove "-10.1" at the end. mariadb-connect-engine-10.1 mariadb-oqgraph-engine-10.1 mariadb-cracklib-password-check-10.1 mariadb-gssapi-server-10.1 mariadb-gssapi-client-10.1 mariadb-backup-10.1 This way the server package will specify the version (either "mariadb-server-10.1" for 10.1 or "mariadb-server" for the latest) and everything else will follow. Looks logical and doesn't increase the number of packages (!!!). But I need to try whether it'll actually work in Debian :) Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security(a)mariadb.org
