Read the Questions & Answers:

Q. Is it possible to add/exchange MySQL nodes via command line interface or cluster controller API, so this process can be automated?

A. Yes, we have a RESTAPI. This blog describes it :http://www.severalnines.com/blog/clustercontrol-rest-api-automate-your-database-cluster

Q. What are the failure scenarios for the cluster controller node - is it single point of failure? What are the ways to recover a cluster controller node? Is it safe to reboot it?

A. Failure of the controller node will not bring down your database cluster. Yes, it is safe to reboot it, and when the node starts, then cmon controller service will be started. It is also possible to have a standby controller, if the primary would fail, the standby can take over.

Q. How does one start a standby controller? Do you have some docs/tutorials on how to configure this setup?

A. Please read this blog for details:http://support.severalnines.com/entries/27449776-Installing-ClusterControl-Standby-Server

Q. Does the failed/not available controller node affect the whole cluster? Is there any downtime while switching to standby controller or rebooting?

A. No, the underlying database cluster is not affected if the controller is down.

Q. Is it possible to automatically upload scheduled backups to S3? How does one restore a node from a specific backup?"

A. S3 : no, it cannot be scheduled right now. Restore: We have a command line tool to restore backups, s9s-backup/s9s_backupc that is a wrapper around xtrabackup. See more here:http://support.severalnines.com/entries/23523886-Restore-Xtrabackup-on-Galera-Cluster

Q. What do we have to do to change existing configuration (my.cnf) and propagate the changes to all cluster nodes? Is it doable as one action or do we have to do it for each node?

A. Currently, from the UI, eachmy.cnffile needs to be updated, and then rolled out.

Q. How does one best configure SSL protection for a whole cluster? We want our MySQL nodes using some specific cert file, how we can do it?

A. To use SSL, you need to set it up following suitable MySQL documentation and also Galera docs. We currently do not have any tool that assists with that phase.

The following blog posts are useful:

http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2013/06/22/setting-up-mysql-ssl-and-secure-connections/
http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2013/05/03/percona-xtradb-cluster-for-mysql-and-encrypted-galera-replication/

Q. How do we set up a Galera MySQL cluster that also replicates to DR over WAN? Is there a performance impact to set up that way?

A. In Galera, the cluster is as fast as the slowest node. You can however improve WAN replication performance by using Galera segments available in Galera 3.x. Deploy a MySQL 5.6-based Galera Cluster. Have a look at:http://www.severalnines.com/blog/release-webinar-introducing-galera-3

Q. Is it possible to start using ClusterControl on an existing MySQL Galera Cluster and monitor/scale etc...?

A. Yes, it is possible. Please see:http://support.severalnines.com/entries/45804993-Add-Existing-Cluster

Q. Centos/Debian/Ubuntu are all fully supported?

A. Yes

Q.When talking about removing a server (- sign) I believe you remove that single node from the management console not actually removing the node from the cluster, do you?

A. It will take the node out of the cluster. It stops the MySQL instance and removes all references to it in ClusterControl.

Q. Removing a node that easy might be quite tricky on a management dashboard operated by people that are not fully qualified DBA's?

A. You have the possibility to assign privileges and create users. E.g, the Admin is allowed to perform all management tasks, but your developers only have read access.

If you have any additional questions, feel free tocontact usor post them below in the comments section.

ABOUT CLUSTERCONTROL

Setting up, maintaining and operating a database cluster can be tricky.ClusterControlgives you the power to deploy, manage, monitor and scale entire clusters efficiently and reliably. ClusterControl supports a variety of MySQL-based clusters (Galera, NDB, 5.6 Replication) as well as MongoDB/TokuMX-based clusters.

What are some tools you can use to monitor MySQL performance?Apr 23, 2025 am 12:21 AM

How to effectively monitor MySQL performance? Use tools such as mysqladmin, SHOWGLOBALSTATUS, PerconaMonitoring and Management (PMM), and MySQL EnterpriseMonitor. 1. Use mysqladmin to view the number of connections. 2. Use SHOWGLOBALSTATUS to view the query number. 3.PMM provides detailed performance data and graphical interface. 4.MySQLEnterpriseMonitor provides rich monitoring functions and alarm mechanisms.

How does MySQL differ from SQL Server?Apr 23, 2025 am 12:20 AM

The difference between MySQL and SQLServer is: 1) MySQL is open source and suitable for web and embedded systems, 2) SQLServer is a commercial product of Microsoft and is suitable for enterprise-level applications. There are significant differences between the two in storage engine, performance optimization and application scenarios. When choosing, you need to consider project size and future scalability.

In what scenarios might you choose SQL Server over MySQL?Apr 23, 2025 am 12:20 AM

In enterprise-level application scenarios that require high availability, advanced security and good integration, SQLServer should be chosen instead of MySQL. 1) SQLServer provides enterprise-level features such as high availability and advanced security. 2) It is closely integrated with Microsoft ecosystems such as VisualStudio and PowerBI. 3) SQLServer performs excellent in performance optimization and supports memory-optimized tables and column storage indexes.

What are triggers in MySQL?Apr 23, 2025 am 12:11 AM

A MySQL trigger is an automatically executed stored procedure associated with a table that is used to perform a series of operations when a specific data operation is performed. 1) Trigger definition and function: used for data verification, logging, etc. 2) Working principle: It is divided into BEFORE and AFTER, and supports row-level triggering. 3) Example of use: Can be used to record salary changes or update inventory. 4) Debugging skills: Use SHOWTRIGGERS and SHOWCREATETRIGGER commands. 5) Performance optimization: Avoid complex operations, use indexes, and manage transactions.

How do you create and manage user accounts in MySQL?Apr 22, 2025 pm 06:05 PM

The steps to create and manage user accounts in MySQL are as follows: 1. Create a user: Use CREATEUSER'newuser'@'localhost'IDENTIFIEDBY'password'; 2. Assign permissions: Use GRANTSELECT, INSERT, UPDATEONmydatabase.TO'newuser'@'localhost'; 3. Fix permission error: Use REVOKEALLPRIVILEGESONmydatabase.FROM'newuser'@'localhost'; then reassign permissions; 4. Optimization permissions: Use SHOWGRA

How does MySQL differ from Oracle?Apr 22, 2025 pm 05:57 PM

MySQL is suitable for rapid development and small and medium-sized applications, while Oracle is suitable for large enterprises and high availability needs. 1) MySQL is open source and easy to use, suitable for web applications and small and medium-sized enterprises. 2) Oracle is powerful and suitable for large enterprises and government agencies. 3) MySQL supports a variety of storage engines, and Oracle provides rich enterprise-level functions.

What are the disadvantages of using MySQL compared to other relational databases?Apr 22, 2025 pm 05:49 PM

The disadvantages of MySQL compared to other relational databases include: 1. Performance issues: You may encounter bottlenecks when processing large-scale data, and PostgreSQL performs better in complex queries and big data processing. 2. Scalability: The horizontal scaling ability is not as good as Google Spanner and Amazon Aurora. 3. Functional limitations: Not as good as PostgreSQL and Oracle in advanced functions, some functions require more custom code and maintenance.
