This tutorial focuses on the diagnostic tools you can turn to when confronted with an unexplained performance problem. Tools explained include iostat, vmstat, and mk-query-digest. The emphasis is on practical usage under pressure, and less on performance theory.

Unlock all the information the MySQL server can give you! MySQL has many status variables that show how well your environment utilizes its resources. There are many system variables that can be set and changed to tune the server.
Read more.
At this session, we will talk about current interfaces of the InnoDB monitoring system, including server status variables, information schema table, as well as table and space monitor. We will also discuss how to utilize these information to better understand the system running state.

Running multiple MySQL instances on the same hardware can be useful in a number of cases.
Some uses are rapid creation of test instances, consolidating several instances, mixing masters and slaves for redundancy and to balance load, and better hardware utilization. We will cover aspects including load balancing, LVM, repeatable builds, ports, proxy, and problems we encountered along the way.

Are you interested in splitting your application's reads and writes, so writes go to the master and SELECT queries go to slaves? This session is for you. Learn common patterns, pitfalls, and solutions.

Replication is big news and not just because of built-in replication from MySQL itself. Projects like Drizzle, Tungsten, and Galera are changing the replication game with higher speed and greater flexibility than ever before. Join Jay Pipes (Drizzle Replication API) and Robert Hodges (Tungsten Clustering) for a tour of the new replication solutions and how they can help your applications.

Description:
In this session, the speaker will explain some important but not well known indexing topics. Advanced topics such as indexes and lock contentions, how indexes impact MySQL optimizer will be covered. This session is the sequel to "Mastering the Art of Indexing" (http://www.mysqlconf.com/mysql2009/public/schedule/detail/6661), presented at the last MySQL Conference.

Database operations gets interesting when it involves several thousand databases, a high-profile site and you have a small core team of DBAs. Among other things, we will give a high-level overview of Facebook database architecture, Backup (and recovery) strategy and the mysql upgrade process.

InnoDB provides many sources of diagnostic information. Filtering through that information to find what is wrong with a system can be a big task.
This talk with detail all of the different sources and what useful information you can get from them. In addition, it will offer common solutions for these problems to get you started in the right direction.

This presentation will teach you the InnoDB internals you need to know for performance optimization and operational tasks. You'll learn topics such as how InnoDB allocates space on the filesystem and in memory, how InnoDB recovery works, and how MVCC and locking work.

Want to learn what the difference between a 10 server deployment and a 200 server deployment is in terms of administration? Best practices in large deployments? Got questions on centralized management and change management? Capacity planning? All these subjects and more will be covered in this session

Facebook runs MySQL on commodity servers. Commodity servers have become extremely fast. Learn about the methods we use to identify performance bottlenecks in MySQL and the projects we have completed or started to keep pace with hardware advances.

Are you ensuring that a slave has the same data is the same as its master? Using mk-table-checksum from Ma'atkit as the basic tool, we will show you how to check that your data is in sync -- in a non-invasive way. We will share the tricks, tips and gotchas we have learned deploying this method in several different environments and schemas.

This session describes how to tune InnoDB based mainly on 'SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS' outputs.
The current version of InnoDB Plugin and XtraDB have various tunable options.
It will be cleared how the tuning options improves the performance for what condition.
The improvement is also demonstrated by the results of some benchmark workloads.

There are many examples and posts on how to use partitioning in MySQL, but little information on when to use it and how to apply it to typical business problems. This talk focusses on when to use partitioning, what type to use, and what are the best practices in using the different types of MySQL partitioning.
