7. Do not ever use CREATE TABLE... ENGINE=MyISAM anymore ! Please!! Please!! Please!! set set persist default_storage_engine persist default_storage_engine= ="InnoDB" "InnoDB"; ; set set persist_only disabled_storage_engines persist_only disabled_storage_engines= ="MyISAM" "MyISAM"; ; Since MySQL 8.0, defaults are strict and InnoDB guarantees DURABILITY ! Keep your data safe ! #1 - Don't use MyISAM ! Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 7
8. ACID multiple lock types faster than MyISAM Always use InnoDB !! Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 8

12. InnoDB Bu er Pool's size We can also verify the Ratio of pages requested and read from disk: MySQL MySQL > > SELECT SELECT FORMAT FORMAT( (A A. .num num * * 100 100 / / B B. .num num, ,2 2) ) DiskReadRatioPct DiskReadRatioPct FROM FROM ( (SELECT SELECT variable_value num variable_value num FROM FROM performance_schema performance_schema. .global_status global_status WHERE WHERE variable_name variable_name = = 'Innodb_buffer_pool_reads' 'Innodb_buffer_pool_reads') ) A A, , ( (SELECT SELECT variable_value num variable_value num FROM FROM performance_schema performance_schema. .global_status global_status WHERE WHERE variable_name variable_name = = 'Innodb_buffer_pool_read_requests' 'Innodb_buffer_pool_read_requests') ) B B; ; + +------------------+ ------------------+ | | DiskReadRatioPct DiskReadRatioPct | | + +------------------+ ------------------+ | | 3.53 3.53 | | + +------------------+ ------------------+ Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 10
13. #3: InnoDB Redo Log It's not recommended to oversize the Redo Log Capacity. Redo Log les consume disk space and increases the recovery time in case of a restart (innodb_fast_shutdown=1) or a sudden crash. And it also slows down shutdown when innodb_fast_shutdown=0. Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 11
14. InnoDB Redo Log - Recommendations During peak tra c time, you can get an estimation of the required amount for the Redo Log Capacity by running the query below (all in one single line): MySQL MySQL > > SELECT SELECT VARIABLE_VALUE VARIABLE_VALUE from from performance_schema performance_schema. .global_status global_status WHERE WHERE VARIABLE_NAME VARIABLE_NAME= ='Innodb_redo_log_current_lsn' 'Innodb_redo_log_current_lsn' INTO INTO @a @a; ;SELECT SELECT sleep sleep( (60 60) ) INTO INTO @garb @garb ; ;SELECT SELECT VARIABLE_VALUE VARIABLE_VALUE FROM FROM performance_schema performance_schema. .global_status global_status WHERE WHERE VARIABLE_NAME VARIABLE_NAME= ='Innodb_redo_log_current_lsn' 'Innodb_redo_log_current_lsn' INTO INTO @b @b; ;select select format_bytes format_bytes( (abs abs( (@a @a - - @b @b) )) ) per_min per_min, , format_bytes format_bytes( (abs abs( (@a @a - - @b @b) )* *60 60) ) per_hour per_hour; ; + +-----------+----------+ -----------+----------+ | | per_min per_min | | per_hour per_hour | | + +-----------+----------+ -----------+----------+ | | 21.18 21.18 MiB MiB | | 1.24 1.24 GiB GiB | | + +-----------+----------+ -----------+----------+ Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 12

16. #4 - Optimal InnoDB Con guration to start On a dedicated MySQL Server, the best is to let InnoDB decide the size of the Bu er Pool and the Redo Log Capacity. In my.cnf: innodb_dedicated_server innodb_dedicated_server= =1 1 Defaults have changed since My SQL 8.4 LTS h ps://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/innodb-dedicated-server.html h ps://lefred.be/content/mysql-8-4-lts-new-production-ready-defaults-for-innodb/ Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 13
17. #5 - Always start with a warm InnoDB Bu er Pool The secret is to always run a production server with a warm Bu er Pool. If you need to restart MySQL for any reason (maintenance, updgrade, crash), it's recommended to dump the content of the InnoDB Bu er Pool to disk and load it at startup: innodb_buffer_pool_dump_at_shutdown = 1 innodb_buffer_pool_dump_at_shutdown = 1 innodb_buffer_pool_load_at_startup = 1 innodb_buffer_pool_load_at_startup = 1 Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 14
18. Always start with a warm InnoDB Bu er Pool (2) It's also possible to dump the Bu er Pool at some intervals in case of a crash and to avoid to load a very old dump. Just create an EVENT: CREATE CREATE EVENT automatic_bufferpool_dump EVENT automatic_bufferpool_dump ON ON SCHEDULE EVERY SCHEDULE EVERY 1 1 HOUR HOUR DO DO SET SET global global innodb_buffer_pool_dump_now innodb_buffer_pool_dump_now= =ON ON; ; Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 15
19. #6 - Adaptive Hash Index When some secondary indexes values are being accessed very frequently, Inno DB builds a hash index (AHI) for them in memory on top of the B-Tree indexes. If your workload doesn't bene t from it, you are disadvantaged by its overhead. This can detected by seeing a lot of waits on rw-lock semaphores in the btr0sea.cc le (we will cover that later) . Some information is available in the SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS output, however since MySQL 8.0 we tend to replace the use of that statement using Performance_Schema and Sys.

29. #6 - Primary Keys For Inno DB, a Primary Key is required and a good one is even be er ! Some theory InnoDB stores data in table spaces. The records are stored and sorted using the clustered index (PK). All secondary indexes also contain the primary key as the right-most column in the index (even if this is not exposed). That means when a secondary index is used to retrieve a record, two indexes are used: rst the secondary one pointing to the primary key that will be used to nally retrieve the record.

31. Also, it's more and more common to use application that generates complete random primary keys...that means if the Primary Key is not sequential, InnoDB will have to heavily re-balance all the pages on inserts.

InnoDB Primary Key (3) If we compare the same load (inserts) when using an auto_increment integer as Primary Key, we can see that only the latest pages are recently touched: Generated with h ps://github.com/jeremycole/innodb_ruby from @jeremycole Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 22

The problem with such key is that you don’t have any control on it and worse, this value is global to all tables without primary keys and can be a contention problem if you perform multiple simultaneous writes on such tables (dict_sys->mutex).

105. #21 - Memory - Filesystem Cache By default, Linux uses the lesystem cache for all I/O accesses. As you are using InnoDB, with O_DIRECT or O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC, MySQL bypasses the lesystem cache and will not use any FS Cache Memory for the data les (*.ibd). However MySQL might use this cache for others les and consume more memory than expected. If you parse regularly Binary Logs, these can consume the Filesystem Cache.

116. Daniel Nichter, E cient MySQL Performance - Best Practices and Techniques, O'Reilly, 2021 Query Response time Query response time is the only metric anyone truly cares about [...] because query response time is the only metric we experience. When a query takes 7.5 seconds to execute, we experience 7.5 seconds of impatience. That same query might examine a million rows, but we don't experience a million rows examined. Our time is precious.(*) Copyright @ 2024 Oracle and/or its affiliates. 76
