Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has a very robust always-free tier. Oracle recently announced that HeatWave MySQL will be part of that offering. This post will show how you can set up a free WordPress site using Always Free resources in Oracle Cloud.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has a very robust always-free tier. Oracle recently announced that HeatWave MySQL will now be part of that offering. As part of the always-free tier, we can set up one instance and a single-node HeatWave Cluster. In this post, we will show how to spin up that instance and connect to it using a Compute instance.
MySQL Shell offers a wide variety of tools to manage our MySQL instances. With all those tools, though, we may want functionality that would be helpful and pertain to just your situation. Thankfully, the MySQL Shell team made it possible to extend MySQL Shell and add functionality. In this post, we will explore the use of plugins.

Thankfully, the MySQL Shell team made it possible to extend MySQL Shell and add functionality. In this post, we will explore the use of startup scripts.
The style and format of the prompt in MySQL Shell can be customized to meet the desires of the person using it. We can configure the prompt to display different or trimmed-down information about our database connection and what mode we are using. This post will show how to add a visual cue to let you know when you are connected to a production database.
Collecting comprehensive diagnostic information can be daunting. Knowing what queries to run to get the needed data is more of an art form than anything else. Fortunately, for those not that artistically inclined, MySQL Shell makes it easier to get this information. Let’s take a look.
Using MySQL Shell, we can quickly and easily create an InnoDB replica set. With as little as two commands, we can create a replica set, add a secondary instance, and clone data from our primary instance to a secondary instance. In this post, we will demonstrate how to accomplish this.
In previous posts, I talked about how we can use MySQL Shell to dump and load data using a multithreaded process and also how to export table data in different formats that can then be imported to a new MySQL instance. This post will discuss how we can copy data directly to another MySQL instance without performing separate dump and load operations.
Regular expressions are powerful but often misunderstood tools for developers. In recent posts, we have discussed subexpressions and back references (which are special types of subexpressions). This post will show examples of two other special subexpressions: look ahead and look behind.
We already discussed how we can use MySQL Shell to dump and load data using a multithreaded process. In this post, we will discuss ways we can export data from a table into different formats.
