September 2 2014 Latest news:
Monday, December 17, 2012
London's Tube drivers will stage a 24-hour strike on Boxing Day, in a row over bank holiday pay.
Members of the union Aslef voted by 9-1 in favour of the walkout, and last-minute talks with London Underground (LU) collapsed today.
They also plan to strike on January 18 and 25, threatening serious disruption to the underground network.
The strike could affect a number of Premier League and Football League matches and could lead to the postponement of Arsenal v West Ham United at Emirates Stadium, Fulham v Southampton at Craven Cottage and QPR v West Brom at Loftus Road.
Howard Collins, LU's chief operating officer, said: "We have been in discussions with the Aslef leadership to find a way to end this dispute and we made what we believed was a very fair offer. Unfortunately, this was not accepted and the offer has now been withdrawn.
"LU has a long-standing agreement with all trade unions which covers working arrangements on bank holidays, including Boxing Day. However, we have shown good faith and tried to find ways forward.
"Further industrial action will not achieve anything and I would urge Aslef leadership to work with us to resolve this dispute."
Aslef represents more than half of the Tube's 3,200 drivers. Many drivers who belong to the rival union, the RMT, are also expected to refuse to cross picket lines.
Aslef members want three days off in lieu for working bank holidays.
Police are searching for a pair of missing sisters who are know to have friends in Forest Gate.

The goal of this tutorial is to show you how to use Multi-Master and aggregate databases with the same name but with different data from different masters.
Both have the same database (PRODUCTION) but the data are totally different:
We will start with 3 servers (2 masters and 1 slave), you can add more master if needed.Informations
In the last 10 years I have worked a lot with replication systems, and I have developed a keen interest in the topic of multiple masters in a single cluster. My interest has a two distinct origins:
The double nature of[Read more...]
Tungsten Replicator is a powerful replication engine that, in addition to providing the same features as MySQL Replication, can also create several topologies, such as
The real weakness of these topologies is that they don't come together easily. Installation requires several commands, and running them unassisted is a daunting task. Some time ago, we introduced a set of scripts (the Tungsten Cookbook) that allow you to[Read more...]
First off, the important news. Tungsten Replicator 2.1.0 was released today.
You can download it and give it a try right now.
Second, I would say that I am quite surprised at how much we have done in this release. The previous release (2.0.7) was in February, which is just a few months ago, and yet it looks like ages when I see the list of improvements, new features and bug fixes in the Release Notes. I did not realized it until I ran my last batch of checks to test the upgrade from the previous release, which I hadn't run for quite a long[Read more...]
In the first part of this article we examined the types of conflicts and their causes. In this part, we will analyse some of the methods available to deal with conflicts.
Applicability: synchronous clusters with 2pc
We've covered this topic in the previous article, but it's worth repeating. If you use a synchronous cluster, you don't have conflicts. For example, MySQL Cluster ensures consistent data with updates coming from different nodes. However, MySQL Cluster is not a replacement for a MySQL server, and it has severe limitations.
Applicability: synchronous clusters without 2pc (Galera)
Conflicting transactions proceed on different[Read more...]
The Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2013 is almost 1 month away. It's time to start planning, set the expectations, and decide what to attend. This post will give a roundup of some of the sessions that I recommend attending and I look forward to.
After much talk and disbelief, here they come! Oracle (http://www.mysql.com) engineers will participate to the Percona Live conference. This is wonderful! Their participation was requested by the organizers, by the attendees, and by community advocates, who all told the Oracle management how important it is to be in this conference. Finally, they have[Read more...]
In my job, I do a lot of testing. And no matter how much organized we try to be, we end up with fewer machines than we would need to run all the tests that we want.
For some tasks, we can run MySQL Sandbox, and get the job done. But sometimes we need to make sure that applications and systems work well across the network, and we need to install and run systems on separate servers.
However, when you test replication systems, and every cluster takes three or four servers, you run our of available hosts very quickly. So you decide to use the clusters that are dedicated to automated testing to also run your own manual tests. Soon you realize that the tests that you are running manually are clashing with the automated ones, or with the ones that your colleagues are running.
A simple solution[Read more...]
Tungsten Replicator version 2.0.6 was released today.
You can get both the binaries and the source code at the project's downloads page.
This release contains many bug fixes, and various improvements. All of them are listed in the Release Notes. The most interesting ones are the improvement in multi-master topologies. Using this release with star topologies you will get less traffic than before, because we have reduced some duplication of transaction history logs that were sent between servers.
And speaking of multi-master topologies, this release includes the cookbook recipes mentioned in this blog[Read more...]
I have been asked many times to provide an easy way of deploying fan-in and star schema replication schemas. So far, I have been delayed by more pressing duties.
Now the time has come. Since we are about to release a new version of Tungsten Replicator, I made the effort of putting together the steps for an easy deployment.
The package (with downloads and svn code available at Tungsten-Replicator Toolbox) includes some juicy goodies. There are recipes to install.
Fig 1. Master/Slave topology[Read more...]
About a month ago I needed to compare tens of thousands of tables in hundreds of databases between a few different servers. The obvious choice was, mk-table-checksum! The only problem was, that the tool needs to know the minimum and maximum value of the column by which each table is to be subdivided into chunks and checksummed. This select min(col), max(col) from table locks all write operations on the table and on a big table it meant downtime.
Looking at the source it was clear we could make mk-table-checksum run the select min(col), max(col) from table on the read-only slave and use the values to checksum the master.
It was subtle code changes in function:
get_range_statistics adding
my $cxn_string_dc = "DBI:mysql:;host=slavehost;port=3306;mysql_read_default_group=client";
my $user = 'user';
SHOW SLAVE STATUS—the twist is that the implementation is entirely done in the server, using pure SQL.
If you're familiar with[Read more...]

Maria lives in a big city and has no car. So when she bought a huge amount of furniture at her local IKEA, she had two choices: rent a car so she could pick, load, and haul her own flat packs home, or pay extra and have her order put together and delivered. The order went great except for one teeny thing that IKEA forgot. The hardware. [More]
