(Jesper Krogh) If you have an application that need to use multiple connections to the MySQL database for short periods of times, it can be a good to use a connection pool to avoid creating a new connection and going through the whole authentication process every time a connection is needed.

(Rahul Sisondia) We have introduced a new policy for you to enforce on your non-privileged users.

(Bernd Ocklin) MySQL NDB Cluster uses row level locks instead of a single shared commit lock in order to prevent inconsistency in simultaneous distributed transactions.

(Marco Tusa) Let’s talk about MySQL high availability (HA) and synchronous replication once more.

(Jean-François Gagné) This is Part #2 of the MySQL Master Replication Crash Safety series. In the previous post, we explored the consequence of reducing durability on masters with slaves using legacy file+position replication.

(Dave Stokes) I love the new shell but the one thing I missed from the old shell was the ability to use a pager like more or less to throttle the output of the screen. Low and behold the engineers have added paging in MySQL Shell 8.0.13!!

(Jesper Krogh) MySQL Shell makes it easy to develop tools you can use for example to generate reports. In a previous blog, I showed how to use external modules in MySQL Shell.

(Frederic Descamps) Recently, I did some maintenance on Innotop and I merged several pull requests including one to support MySQL 8.0 (thank you yoku0825 for the contribution).
