MySQL 5.1.46 is now available

Guillaume Plessis — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:27:13 +0000

MySQL 5.1.46 is now available on Dotdeb for your Lenny servers, in amd64 and i386 flavours. It fixes a lot of annoying bugs and upgrades the InnoDB plugin to version 1.0.7 for more performances.

Be careful : the MySQL server is now split in two separate packages :

mysql-server-core-5.1 that contains only the mysqld binary and some system files,
mysql-server-5.1 that depends on mysql-server-core-5.1 and that contains the init scripts and utilities to run the MySQL server in a Debian environment.

The migration to this new packaging schema is transparent and will not break any dependencies.

As usual, please read the changes in MySQL 5.1.46 and what’s new in the InnoDB plugin 1.0.7 before upgrading.

MySQL on Amazon benchmarks : RDS vs EC2

Guillaume Plessis — Tue, 04 May 2010 16:52:14 +0000

On May 3rd, I gave a talk for the french Amazon Web Services user group about hosting MySQL on Amazon. Two solutions exist :

using RDS, a “Database as a Service”
running your own MySQL server on a EC2 instance, with an EBS volume attached, a snapshot-enabled filesystem…

The comparison is made on features, cost and performances. I used the same MySQL version as RDS (5.1.42) and the same config. Performances are measured by tpcc-mysql from Percona and they are charted using Google Fusion Tables.

You’ll se that, altough MySQL + EC2 requires some additionnal DBA or sysadmin skills, it allows a lot of more tuning and a real performance boost (+270%).

So, if you’re planning to host MySQL databases on Amazon, feel free to take a look at these slides :

Note for french-speaking people : la présentation est disponible en français.
