At some point in your career as a DBA, you might want to dive deeper into databases and their architecture to fiddle with interesting things. One of those interesting things are stored objects – those things refer to objects created with a CREATE PROCEDURE statement and they’re usually stored inside of the server until they’re called for use by the user using a CALL statement.

Have you ever come across a scenario where your data looks good until you import it into MySQL? The data you’ve imported into MySQL is suddenly displayed as “???”, letting you wonder what’s wrong in your database configuration. The reason of this problem is a character set or collation mismatch – when worked with properly, character sets and collations can make our work with MySQL a dream, or a nightmare.

All database administrators back up their data – that’s a given. Not all backups are created equal, though – as time passes, many database administrators find themselves switching between their variations – for example, MySQL has mysqldump, Percona XtraBackup, SQLBak, and a couple of others, PostgreSQL can be backed up with pg_dump, Barman (Backup and Recovery Manager for PostgreSQL), or a couple of other tools, while Oracle Recovery Manager is a fit to backup an Oracle database infrastructure.

All developers come across at least a couple of issues while they find themselves developing applications for the web. That’s exactly why sites like Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, and the like exist – that’s developers helping other developers in trouble. 

If you’re a frequent visitor of Stack Overflow though, you will notice that most of the issues related to software engineering have something to do with databases as well – new questions are also posted minutes ago, literally. And the given example only pertains to MySQL – can you imagine how many new questions are posted day-by-day targeting other database management systems? Thousands.

If you’ve been a frequent user of MySQL now or in the past, you know for a fact that there are multiple storage engines MySQL allows us to choose from. The most frequent one is InnoDB which is known as a “high performance” storage engine meaning that if optimized properly via the parameters provided by MySQL in my.cnf, the storage engine can do wonders – MyISAM is considered more obsolete though, but it has its own use cases including providing an exact count of the rows in a specific table and storing database files in a recoverable format since the files provided by MyISAM are not bound to any other files such as ibdata1 provided by InnoDB.
