MariaDB 10.11 is LTS

Important news: MariaDB 10.11, which just was declared RC, is a long-term maintenance version. The industry standard term to refer to that concept is LTS (as in long-term support), and we too use this term for the releases that get a significantly longer lifetime of bug fixes.

We are announcing MariaDB 10.11 as LTS for a number of reasons:

Firstly, the purpose of an LTS is to reassure users – and, in particular, Linux distros – that a certain version will receive regular updates long-term, for the lifetime of their product.

MariaDB 10.11.1 RC and 10.10.2 GA now available

The MariaDB Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of MariaDB 10.11.1, the first release candidate in the MariaDB 10.11 series, and MariaDB 10.10.2 the first generally available release in the short-term MariaDB 10.10 series.

See the release notes and changelogs for details.

replicate_rewrite_db as a system variable in MariaDB

MariaDB 10.11.0, our latest preview release, features quite a number of improvements. The one we’ll talk about here is replicate-rewrite-db. This option has become a system variable from 10.11.0 based on MDEV-15530. Before this version it was just an option used by the mariadbd and mariadb-binlog binaries. There have been no behaviour changes with the option; it has simply become a dynamic variable.

How to try out this feature

The fastest way is to take MariaDB 10.11 for a spin in docker / podman (consult the blog mariadb-replication-using-containers) with the following commands:

To start a primary 10.11.0 MariaDB container, clone the directory, navigate to the cloned directory and run the following command:

docker run -d –rm –name mariadb-primary \
-v $PWD/config-files/primarycnf:/etc/mysql/conf.d:z \
-v $PWD/primaryinit:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:z \
-v $PWD/log-files-primary:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MARIADB_ALLOW_EMPTY_ROOT_PASSWORD=True \
quay.io/mariadb-foundation/mariadb-devel:10.11

To start the replica/secondary run the command to start the mariadbd process as well as specify the replicate-rewrite-db option on the command line:

docker run -d –rm –name mariadb-secondary-1 \
-v $PWD/config-files/secondary-1:/etc/mysql/conf.d:z \
-v $PWD/secondaryinit:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:z \
-v $PWD/log-files-secondary-1:/var/lib/mysql \
-e MARIADB_ALLOW_EMPTY_ROOT_PASSWORD=True \
quay.io/mariadb-foundation/mariadb-devel:10.11 –replicate-rewrite-db=’db1->db2′

Besides specifying the option as a command line argument, you can use a configuration file.

GRANT TO PUBLIC in MariaDB

MariaDB 10.11.0, our latest preview release, features quite a number of improvements. The one we’ll talk about today is GRANT … TO PUBLIC.

Background

MariaDB has quite a complex privilege system. Most of it is based on the SQL Standard spec; however we do have some specific MariaDB extensions. GRANT … TO PUBLIC (MDEV-5215) is a standard feature that is now available as a preview in MariaDB 10.11.0. It is related to ROLES and DEFAULT ROLE, but it covers a different use case.

ROLES are effectively “privilege packages” that you can enable and disable as a user.

MariaDB 10.11.0 preview release now available

We are pleased to announce the preview release of the MariaDB 10.11 series, MariaDB 10.11.0.

Candidate features for MariaDB 10.11

Preview releases are designed to get features into the hands of users more quickly, and should not be used for production. Not all features in a preview release may make the Generally Available (GA) release. Features under consideration for 10.11 include:

Authentication

  1. GRANT … TO PUBLIC (MDEV-5215)
  2. Separate SUPER and READ ONLY ADMIN privileges (MDEV-29596)

Optimizer

  1. Semi-join optimization for single-table update/delete statements (MDEV-7487)
  2. Allow pushdown of queries involving UNIONs in outer select to foreign engines (MDEV-25080)
  3. Make ANALYZE FORMAT=JSON show time spent in the query optimizer (MDEV-28926)

Information Schema

  1. Performance Issues reading the Information Schema Parameters table (MDEV-29104)
  2. Full table scan in the Information Schema Parameters and Information Schema Routines table (MDEV-20609)

System versioning

  1. System versioning setting, system_versioning_insert_history, to allow history modification (MDEV-16546)
  2. mariadb-dump: dump and restore historical data (MDEV-16029)

Windows

  1. Windows – passwordless login for mariadb root user, for OS admin users (MDEV-26715)

Miscellaneous

  1. Rename slow queries variables (MDEV-7567)
  2. Variable replicate_rewrite_db cannot be found in “show global variables” (MDEV-15530)
  3. innodb_write_io_threads and innodb_read_io_threads are now dynamic, and their values can be changed without restarting the server (MDEV-11026)

The features that pass testing will then be merged into MariaDB Server 10.11.1.
