MySQL 8 Administrator???s Guide

Installing and Upgrading MySQL 8

In the previous chapter, we provided an overview of MySQL along with MySQL 8's new features, use cases, and limitations. MySQL is very flexible in terms of platforms, such as RedHat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Solaris, Microsoft Windows, and so on. It has the support of an API to connect with different languages, such as C, C++, C#, PHP, Java, Ruby, and many more. For any programming platform, the most important and monotonous task is to set up the environment with the necessary software tools. That won't be the case for MySQL 8, as this chapter is focused on setting up the environment with MySQL 8.

This chapter explains MySQL 8's installation steps in detail with the necessary prerequisites. Separate installation steps are provided to set up MySQL 8 on various platforms. The chapter also covers methods to upgrade to or downgrade from...

The MySQL 8 installation process

This section will guide readers in MySQL 8 version selection, where to get MySQL 8 from, and how to install MySQL 8. It also explains the post-installation steps required for setup. This chapter provides information on how to upgrade or downgrade from MySQL 8.

General installation guide

MySQL 8 is available on many operating systems with different versions. The MySQL 8 release is managed in two ways:

  • Development release: This has the newest feature but is not recommended for use in production
  • General release: This is a stable release and users can use it for release in production also

Naming conventions are followed in each release of MySQL 8, which indicates its status. Each release name...

Post-installation setup for MySQL 8

Post-installation is a process that describes the basic steps or configuration that the user has to perform after MySQL 8 installation.

Data directory initialization

In previous sections, we have seen different methods of MySQL 8 installation. Some of the methods will automatically create a data directory for MySQL 8. For generic binary distribution and source distribution, data directory creation is a must. Data directory initialization is performed by either of the following two commands:

E:\> bin\mysqld –-initialize 
E:\> bin\mysqld --initialize-insecure

Either of these commands can be chosen based on the user's requirements to generate a random initial password or not...

Upgrading MySQL 8

In previous versions of MySQL, the data dictionary is stored in the file-based system while in MySQL 8 it is stored in the data dictionary structure. So, the up-gradation process will move the file-based structure into the data dictionary structure. Up-gradation into MySQL 8 is possible from the MYSQL 5.7 GA version, which means from 5.7.9 or higher. For non-GA versions of 5.7, up-gradation is not possible. Before starting the up-gradation process, the following points need to be understood.

Upgrading methods

Two methods are in use for up-gradation that are differentiated by their implementation method. Let us discuss these methods in detail.

...

MySQL 8 downgrading

Downgrading is the reverse process of up-gradation, where we will move from a higher version of MySQL to a lower version of MySQL. In this section, we cover how to downgrade from MySQL 8 to MySQL 5.7. A downgrade that does not support a version skip means that downgrading from MySQL 8 to MySQL 5.6 is not supported. Within the same series where a version skip is supported means you can downgrade from MySQL 8.z to MySQL 8.x by skipping the MySQL 8.y version. First, we will explain some basic points that need to be understood before starting downgrading.

Downgrading methods

An in-place downgrade means shutting down the new version of MySQL 8, replacing its binaries or packages with the old version of MySQL...

Summary

To choose the proper software with its version for development is an important phase, right? In this chapter, we understood how to select the proper version of MySQL 8 by understanding its version pattern. We also learned the execution steps of MySQL 8 installation using the installer and command line in Microsoft Windows. For the Linux platform, we installed MySQL 8 using the Yum repository, RPM package, and Debian package. Post-installation describes the basic configuration to start with MySQL 8. Finally, we explained how to upgrade and downgrade from MySQL 8 with execution steps.

In the next chapter, we will learn about various programs and utilities available for MySQL 8. It mainly focuses on how to use these programs for MySQL 8 along with command-line executions.

I like the book and will likely purchase their advanced Mysql 8 book. I hope they have improved editing in it.They need to have a human edit the text. There are many grammatical errors in the text. The missing articles, loose for lose, than for then, and many other such items are distracting. In the worst case these errors obscure the meaning of the text. I am not a grammar expert but this carelessness is a problem.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.
