On Monday April 27th, MySQL released a much anticipated patch release 8.0.20. Along with many bug fixes and improvements, a new property was introduced - binlog-transaction-compression. During our own testing we have discovered an incompatibility with this property. Read on for more information.
An overview of a Tungsten topology that doesn’t get much attention: the Cluster-Slave, which is an easy way to get data resiliency and integration, with features that make it ideal for big data analytics, reporting, and backups.
Watch this 30min training video on how to get started with Tungsten Replicator AMI and how to avail of it on Amazon Marketplace; including a step-by-step demonstration.
Over the past few days we have been working with a number of customers on the best way to handle Triggers within their MySQL environment when combined with Tungsten Replicator. This new blog dives head first into the minefield of Triggers and Replication.
Start your free 14-day trial of the new Continuent Tungsten Replicator (AMI) - the most advanced & flexible replication engine for MySQL, MariaDB & Percona Server, including Amazon RDS MySQL and Amazon Aurora.
Real time database replication is a must for clustering and other key business purposes, like reporting. There are a number of replication technologies available for MySQL, and some are even bundled into various solutions. When choosing a replication methodology, it is paramount to understand just how the data moves from source to target. In this blog post, we will examine how asynchronous, synchronous, and "semi-synchronous" replication behave when used for clustering. Also, we will explore how replication affects database performance and data availability.
In this blog post, we explore the correct way to implement bi-directional Tungsten Replication between AWS Aurora and Tungsten Clustering for MySQL databases.
The replicator is a critical piece of the Tungsten Clustering solution for MySQL / MariaDB, as well as its own stand-alone data replication product. Automatic recovery enables the replicator to go back online in the event of a transient failure. In this blog, we discuss how to enable Autorecovery.
Clickhouse is a relatively new analytics and datawarehouse engine that provides for very quick insertion and analysing of data. Like most analytics platforms it's built on a column-oriented storage basis and unlike many alternatives is completely open source. It's also exceedingly fast, even on relatively modest platforms.
The Tungsten Replicator is an extraordinarily powerful and flexible tool capable of moving vast volumes of data from source to target.
In this blog post we will discuss one specific aspect of the THL (Transaction History Log) - the METADATA unsafe_for_block_commit flag.
