Why all queries are going into slow query log in MySQL

We got a problem that every query that we ran in MySQL database got logged into slow query log even if the “Query_time” of that query is of sub seconds say 0.0034 whereas our “long_query_time” is set to 8 seconds. 

-- Reason we found out for this behavior:

After investigation we found out that the parameter “log_queries_not_using_indexes” was set to ON and that is why all queries land into slow query log as they were not using indexes. We turn it off and it solves our problem.

But if you do need logging of queries not using indexes then please do turn it on. 

set global log_queries_not_using_indexes=0;
set global log_queries_not_using_indexes=1;

or

set global log_queries_not_using_indexes=OFF;
set global log_queries_not_using_indexes=ON;

Remember it will not persist database restart, for that you have to do parameter setting in my.cnf

Some of the Parameters related to slow query log.

error 18 at 0 depth lookup: self signed certificate

-
I was trying to test SSL connection between MySQL client and server. For that I created SSL certificate and keys by following the MySQL documentation at: Creating SSL Certificates and Keys Using openssl After finishing up all the commands when I verify the certificates by using: openssl verify -CAfile ca.pem server-cert.pem client-cert.pem I got the following output: error 18 at 0 depth lookup : self signed certificate error server-cert.pem: verification failed client-cert.pem: OK  Reason : The Common Name value used for the server and client certificates/keys must each differ from the Common Name value used for the CA certificate. Otherwise, the certificate and key files will not work for servers compiled using OpenSSL. Solution : When OpenSSL prompts you for the Common Name for each certificate, use different names. Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name) []: I used values as follows: CA Cert:  ssl-ca-cert Server Cert: ssl-ca-server-cert Client Cert:  ssl-c

How to check fragmentation in MySQL tables

-
MySQL tables, including MyISAM and InnoDB, two of the most common types, experience fragmentation as data is inserted, updated and deleted randomly. Fragmentation can leave large holes in your table, blocks which must be read when scanning the table. Optimizing your table can therefore make full table scans and range scans more efficient. We will mention how to check fragmentation in MySQL tables using SQL queries. USE < put_your_dbname_here > SELECT TABLE_NAME, CONCAT(ROUND(( data_length + index_length ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'M') TOTAL_SIZE, CONCAT(ROUND(( DATA_FREE ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2), 'M') DATA_FREE FROM information_schema.TABLES where table_schema = database() and ROUND(( DATA_FREE ) / ( 1024 * 1024 ), 2) > 0.00 ORDER BY DATA_FREE DESC; SELECT TABLE_NAME, ROUND(((Data_length - (TABLE_ROWS * Avg_row_length))/Data_length) * 100, 2) FRAG_Percent FROM information_schema.TABLES where table_schema = database() and TABLE_ROWS > 0

How to Drop or Remove or Decommission a Database in Oracle

How to Drop or Remove or Decommission a Database in Oracle Database Decommission steps for Oracle 10G and 11g databases Note: ~~~~~~~~ Every organization has its own documented way of removing or decommissioning the active/running database that is supporting an Enterprise’s Application. Here I am presenting some general steps which may coincide with your organization’s standard operation procedure (SOP). 1)   Please get the required approval from Business/Customer to proceed for database decommissioning. 2)   Send the Notification to Business/Customer that we are going to decommission the database. (if required) 3)   Raise a Request for Storage and Backup team to take the required backup (provide all the details in the raised request) and to keep the Backup for a specified period of time, say for next 2 years, (That is called the backup retention period). Retention Period may be varied based on your business needs and SLA. The backup can be on disk or
