MYSQL Administration for Oracle DBA

Dear All ,

I am coming from the Oracle DB background, and i have initiated learning of MYSQL. I already found some documents(Google)  whatever the question i will ask here ,

but to have some more input from experienced MYSQL person/DBA would be really helpful.

I am starting this single common thread to have a discussion for MYSQL Administration's all the important factors ( Comparing with Oracle DB administration , as both are RDBMS ).

So my 1st question is as follows  -- 1. MYSQL WAIT EVENTS --

           In oracle DB we have lot of wait events to identify slow query reasons , I believe it should also be under MYSQL Administration too.

So what are those Wait-events and how to find those wait events.

Regards,

Newbie Mysql DBA

    You might want to enable the slow query log.  This log records all queries over a settable time period, usually 1 second. Note that not all queries that show up there are bad performers as some complex queries on big data sets do take time to run.

    Hi Dave ,

    Thank you for your answer , So i believe by using ( enabling ) Slow query log we can find out the expensive/time consuming queries but couldn't find Wait Events ( correct me if i am wrong ).

    Moving to my Next Question is as follows --2. Enterprise Manager Monitoring Tool --

                                                                        -- 3. Listener ( For incoming connections ) --

    In Oracle , We have Enterprise Manager Monitoring Tool ( 12c cloud also ) to monitoring sessions , queries and all other stuffs. Is there any tool from Mysql side?

    In Oracle ,Listener handles the incoming connections , In mysql which service handles the incoming connection apart from mysqld( correct me if i am wrong ) and apart from my.cnf which configuration file handles the incoming connection's parameters?

    Thanks for the information ,

    If there are threads in mysql who handles the incoming connections , and i want to kill the incoming connections through OS level , how would i achieve that?

    If you are using the Enterprise edition you can use the connection pooling plug-in to support more connections.  You are not going to have an easy trying to kill idle connections from the OS side.  Are you having a lot of bad connections or idle connections?

    Thanks for reply Dave ,

    I am not having lot of bad connections , i am just trying to find out the administration option of MYsql DB compare to Oracle DB.

    Having said , connection pooling plug-in for supporting more connection , is there any limitations of Mysql DB's open source version ? in terms of connections?

    Connection pooling limits are part traffic and part data.  Lots of short, in and out transactions will be great with the enterprise only connection  pool plug-in, as most of the internet will attest.  But if you are doing a lot of persistent connections for long queries you may need to get the enterprise version.
