MariaDB Cookbook

Chapter 2. Diving Deep into MariaDB

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Importing the data exported by mysqldump

  • Using SHOW EXPLAIN with running queries

  • Using LIMIT ROWS EXAMINED

  • Using INSTALL SONAME

  • Producing HTML output

  • Producing XML output

  • Migrating a table from MyISAM to Aria

  • Migrating a table from MyISAM or Aria to InnoDB or XtraDB

Introduction


Now that we've got our feet wet with MariaDB, it's time to dive deeper and experiment with some of the useful features of MariaDB.

Importing the data exported by mysqldump


Importing data from a mysqldump backup is easy and quick. In this recipe, we'll import a backup of the Internet Speculative Fiction Database (ISFDB). This database is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution license (CC BY) which allows us to use this database for this recipe and many of the other recipes in this book.

How to do it...

  1. Go to http://www.isfdb.org/wiki/index.php/ISFDB_Downloads and download the latest MySQL 5.5 compatible file. The file will be almost 80 megabytes and will be named with the date the backup was made. In this recipe, we'll be using the backup-MySQL-55-2014-02-22.zip file. We can download that file or a more recent one. If we do use a more recent file, we'll need to update the names in the following steps.

  2. After the download finishes, we unzip the file using the following command:

    unzip backup-MySQL-55-2014-02-22.zip
    
  3. When unzipped, the file will be over 300 megabytes.

  4. Our next step is to launch the mysql command-line...

Using SHOW EXPLAIN with running queries


The SHOW EXPLAIN feature was introduced in MariaDB 10.0. It enables us to get an EXPLAIN (that is, a description of the query plan) of the query running in a given thread.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe of this chapter.

How to do it...

  1. Open a terminal window and launch the mysql command-line client and connect to the isfdb database.

    mysql isfdb
    
  2. Next, we open another terminal window and launch another instance of the mysql command-line client.

  3. Run the following command in the first window:

    ALTER TABLE title_relationships DROP KEY titles;
    
  4. Next, in the first window, start the following example query:

    SELECT titles.title_id AS ID, 
           titles.title_title AS Title, 
           authors.author_legalname AS Name, 
           (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT title_relationships.review_id) 
             FROM title_relationships
             WHERE title_relationships.title_id = titles.title_id)
      AS reviews 
    FROM...

Using LIMIT ROWS EXAMINED


The LIMIT ROWS EXAMINED clause is a good way to minimize the overhead of a very large or otherwise expensive query if we don't necessarily want or need to search every row in a large table or set of tables.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe, earlier in this chapter.

How to do it...

  1. Open a terminal window and launch the mysql command-line client and connect to the isfdb database.

  2. Run the following query from the Using SHOW EXPLAIN with running queries recipe, with one small addition at the end:

    SELECT titles.title_id AS ID, 
           titles.title_title AS Title, 
           authors.author_legalname AS Name, 
           (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT title_relationships.review_id) 
             FROM title_relationships 
             WHERE title_relationships.title_id = titles.title_id) AS reviews 
    FROM  titles,authors,canonical_author 
    WHERE 
           (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT title_relationships.review_id) 
             FROM title_relationships...

Using INSTALL SONAME


The INSTALL SONAME command is used to install plugins in MariaDB. In this recipe, we'll install the Cassandra storage engine.

How to do it...

  1. Connect to MariaDB using the mysql command-line client with a user that has the INSERT privilege on the mysql.plugins table. The root user has this privilege, but other users might as well.

  2. Install the Cassandra storage engine plugin using the following command line:

    INSTALL SONAME 'ha_cassandra';
    
  3. Issue the SHOW plugins; command and look for the following text:

    | CASSANDRA | ACTIVE | STORAGE ENGINE | ha_cassandra.so | GPL | 
    
  4. Next, issue the SHOW STORAGE ENGINES; command and look for the following text:

    | CASSANDRA | YES | Cassandra storage engine| NO | NO | NO | 
    
  5. The preceding output indicates that the Cassandra storage engine is installed and ready to go. The three NO columns are about transactions, distributed XA transactions, and savepoints, respectively. All three are features that the Cassandra storage engine does not support...

Producing HTML output


The mysql command-line client has several different output options. One of these is HTML.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe in this chapter. Create a file called isfdb-001.sql using the following command line:

SELECT * FROM authors LIMIT 100;

We could put whatever commands we want in this file, or give it a different name, but this works for the purposes of this recipe.

How to do it...

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to where we saved the isfdb-001.sql file.

  2. Issue the following command on the command line (not from within the mysql command-line client, but by calling the client with some special options):

    mysql --html isfdb < isfdb-001.sql > isfdb-001.html
    
  3. Execute either a dir or ls command and we'll see that now there is a file named isfdb-001.html in the directory.

  4. We can now either open the newly created isfdb-001.html file in our favorite text editor, or view it in a web browser, such as Firefox...

Producing XML output


The mysql command-line client has several different output options. One of these is XML.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe in this chapter. Create a file called isfdb-001.sql using the following command line:

SELECT * FROM authors LIMIT 100;

We could put whatever commands we want in this file, or give it a different name, but this works for the purposes of this recipe. This file has the same name and contents as the file used in the previous recipe. If we've already completed that recipe, we can just reuse the same file.

How to do it...

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to where we saved the isfdb-001.sql file.

  2. Issue the following command on the command line (not from within the mysql command-line client, but by calling the client with some special options):

    mysql --xml isfdb < isfdb-001.sql > isfdb-001.xml
    
  3. Execute either a dir or ls command and we'll see that there is now a file named isfdb-001.xml...

Migrating a table from MyISAM to Aria


MariaDB ships with the MyISAM and Aria storage engines, among many others. The main difference between these two is that Aria is crash safe, whereas MyISAM is not. Being crash safe means that an Aria table can recover from catastrophic power loss or other unexpected failures in a much better way than a MyISAM table can. If we use MyISAM tables, an easy upgrade is to convert them to Aria tables.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe in this chapter.

How to do it...

  1. Open the mysql command-line client and connect to the isfdb database.

  2. Run the following command line:

    ALTER TABLE authors ENGINE=Aria;
    
  3. The ALTER command will then change the table so that it uses the Aria storage engine.

  4. After it has finished, a message similar to the following will be displayed:

    Query OK, 110829 rows affected (3.14 sec)              
    Records: 110829  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0 
    
  5. If our system is older or is under...

Migrating a table from MyISAM or Aria to InnoDB or XtraDB


The default storage engine of MariaDB is XtraDB, which is an enhanced version of InnoDB.

Getting ready

Import the ISFDB database as described in the Importing the data exported by mysqldump recipe in this chapter.

How to do it...

  1. Open the mysql command-line client and connect to the isfdb database.

  2. Run the following command line:

    ALTER TABLE awards ENGINE=InnoDB;
    
  3. After the command line gets executed, a message similar to the following will be displayed:

    Query OK, 33102 rows affected (5.37 sec)
    Records: 33102  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0
    
  4. If our system is older or is under heavy load and it takes longer than 5 seconds for the ALTER TABLE command line execution to complete, we'll see a progress message letting us know how much of the task has been completed. The message gets updated every 5 seconds, until the task is finished.

How it works...

The ALTER TABLE command converts the table over in two stages. First, it creates a new table, identical...

This is a very useful book but the title is not exactly correct. This is not what one usually thinks of as a cookbook and to be fair the author states this in the introduction.This book isn't chock full of the usual how to create users. how to create tables ......, rather the author recommends you get an intro book for that. What this book does have is good coverage of advanced features of MariaDB. To name a few , changing storage engines (Tokudb,Connect,NoSQL), replication including Galera cluster, Sphinx text search, dynamic and virtual columns.This book is excellent in this regard it will make you aware of features you may not have known even existed and for that reason I would recommend buying it.

I worked for MySQL for 7, 8 years and i am very interesting to read this book. The author has very much experience on Maria DB. He explained most of the thing short and clear that you could follow immediately.You could found most of good stuffs related to MariaDB like: * Migrate your current MySQL database to MariaDB * Talked about some interesting engines: Aria, CONNECT, TokuDB engines. * Optimization and Tuning are also mentioned * Some very specific features for MariaDB like Dynamic & Virtual Columns are understandable and able to apply easily.Besides talking about normal full text search support like other normal database, author also shows us about the search feature with Sphinx.For someone who wants to set up your database as clustering, you could found in a chapter with MariaDB Cluster. Author puts every detail for you that could follow quickly.Even author has a chapter talks about HandlerSocket plugin that allows programming languages (Perl, Python, Ruby) to interact with MariaDB directly. I would like to see more about other programming languages like Java and .NET, how do they interact with MariaDBIf author could provide some comparison for Dynamic & Virtual Columns from Maria DB with Schema less feature from NoSQL database, that would help much for us to choose the right database.This book is a very good start for Developers, DBAs, Consultants working with MariaDB. This is definitely in my must-read-book collection

MariaDB is being prescribed as a venerable offshoot of the proven MySQL database technology yet it has surpassed comfortably its parent on several aspects in order to be a quick choice for many kinds of enterprise-scale and multi-tier applications. This book, not only provides a comprehensive introduction but also details all the latest developments around and on this fast-evolving database system. Besides the explanation of the installation, configuration, optimization and tuning of MariaDB, the author had tried to convey a lot of advanced topics that have a direct synchronization with the database in a seamless and sequential fashion. For example, he has described about the replication aspect in MariaDB. The chapter titled as "Replication with MariaDB Galera Cluster" includes recipes that cover how to install and use this new clustering solution. It seems that the author has a leaning towards multiple search engines (TokuDB Storage Engine CONNECT Storage Engine and Cassandra Storage Engine) and has explained the nitty-gritty in a spectacular style. There is an interesting chapter "Searching Data Using Sphinx" that covers how to install and use this useful full-text database indexer and search engine. Finally there is a separate chapter for MariaDB SecurityPrecisely speaking, this book is telling a compact and convincing story about the new database "MariaDB". I am doubly sure that this book is an awesome for developers, architects, evangelists, DB administrators, and consultants.

It is a bit complicated give my opinion about this book, the thing is that I expected more, let's see it this way, I bought the digital copy and it is OK, but, I will be very disappointed if I had bought the printed book since I think $45 is to much for this book.All the recipes are good, but I like a bit more technical explanation since I like to understand the thinks I am doing.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
