Dotdeb repository problems with MariaDB 5.5 (solution)
Dotdeb is a repository currently targeting Debian and Ubuntu, providing a nice set of packages for LAMP servers.
Recently, MySQL 5.6 was added to the dotdeb repository. On the surface, this is a very harmless addition. MariaDB is a replacement for MySQL and it should be possible for applications designed for MySQL to easily switch to MariaDB. Therefore MariaDB also includes the libraries that applications using MySQL depend upon, such as libmysqlclient18 and mysql-common. The dpkg package manager looks at […]

Merging 5.6 test cases and thoughts on feature deprecation in MariaDB 10.0
MariaDB 10 is nearing GA, and it makes sense to make sure that the test suite from MySQL 5.6 is merged into MariaDB 10. Svoj is doing a lot of this work, and then we like to look at features, especially ones that are deprecated upstream. We don’t do that on blogs, but on the maria-developers mailing list.
I bring to your attention: Intermediate status for test cases merge. We see that INSERT DELAYED and SHOW PROFILE for example are […]

MariaDB Eventually Consistent?
Background
Eventual consistency is a consistency model used in many large distributed databases which requires that all changes to a replicated piece of data eventually reach all affected replicas; conflict resolution is not handled and responsibility is pushed up to the application author in the event of conflicting updates [13].
Eventual consistency is a specific form of weak consistency; the storage system guarantees that if no new updates are made to the object, eventually all accesses will return the last […]

Installing MariaDB Galera Cluster on Debian/Ubuntu
A MariaDB Howto authored by: Erkan Yanar.
This is a Howto about installing MariaDB Galera Cluster on Debian/Ubuntu. Because a lot of people were having problems installing MariaDB Galera Cluster, elenst from #maria on freenode forced me to write this Howto 🙂
Installing MariaDB Galera Cluster is in fact quite easy and actually kind of boring in the end. This Howto is written for (and tested on) on Debian 7.1 (Wheezy) and Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).
What we need

Auto increments in Galera
Lets start by considering a scenario where records are being inserted in a single auto-increment table via different nodes of a multi-master cluster. One issue that might arise is ‘collision’ of generated auto-increment values on different nodes, which is precisely the subject of this article.
As the cluster is multi-master, it allows writes on all master nodes. As a result of which a table might get same auto-incremented values on different nodes on INSERTs. This issue is discovered only after […]
