. MS Windows is delegated by Management or a strategic decision . Application server are based on Windows anyhow (.net) . Our server are running in the Cloud (Azure) . Company has only Windows Administrators (RHCE are too expensive) . Access to other resources only on certified Windows tools . Existing hardware doesn’t support Linux/Unix, certification only for Windows . Virtualisation is focused on Windows (Hyper-V) . Client interface depends on Windows (Embedded devices) .

The MySQL DBA dilemma 82% of all OSes accessing the Internet are Windows based

Provided I have to use Windows for the OS layer…

... is MySQL still a good choice?

Win specific MySQL 5.5+ optimizations Improved performance:

• Replaced RW-locks in MySQL Server with Windows native RW-locks (Windows 7 & Windows 2008 R2 and onward). • Replaced condition variables in MySQL Server with Windows native condition variables. • Replaced statistical increments using mutexes to instead use Windows native atomic increments. • Made use of lightweight native condition variables on Windows Vista and onwards in InnoDB.

MySQL 5.5.6 (Default InnoDB)

MySQL 5.1.50 (InnoDB Plug-in)

MySQL 5.1.50 (InnoDB built-in)

Intel x86_64 4 CPU x 2 Cores/CPU 1560% performance gain 3.166 GHz, 8GB RAM for MySQL 5.5 over 5.1; at scale

. Windows is the #1 platform (by far)!

. Windows download numbers are impressive

. Are this just developers downloading?

. Aren’t people also deploying on Windows more and more?

. But: A lot of (often outdated) MySQLs are based on Linux Distributions

. Use case (Server preferred): Desktop or Server e.g. - Windows XP / Windows Vista vs. Windows 2003 Server*

. Architecture & Revision (Windows 2008 R2+, 64 Bit preferred): 32 Bit or 64 Bit e.g. - Windows 2008 (32 Bit) vs. Windows 2008 (64 Bit) vs. Windows 2008 R2* . Edition (it should address MySQL Memory & CPU needs) Memory & CPU e.g. - Windows 2008 R2 Std. (32 GB, 4 Sockets) vs. Windows 2008 R2 Ent.* (2 TB, 8 Sockets) vs. Windows 2008 R2 DC.* (2 TB, 64 Sockets)

. Prio 1: Memory – Only limited from OS, not from MySQL . The more the better, ideally whole database fits into memory (InnoDB) . Prio 2: Disk – Only limited from OS (file size Fat32 vs. NTFS), not from MySQL . The faster the better, Raid 10 and SSD are preferred . Prio 3: CPU – 32 / 64 Bit MySQL releases are available, MySQL license for up to 4 Sockets . 64 Bit is recommended (MySQL scales up to ~ 48 Cores)

Effective tuning relevance: Check DBMS tuning

Performance Design DBMS Queries HW Tuning OS

. Suitable Hardware or Virtualization resources, is a dedicated server possible? . Suitable Windows version ( > Windows 7 & 2008 R2) . Right MySQL Version  MySQL 5.6 is the best release ever (so far)  . Install latest Service Pack – + Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) – + Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile . Performance Tuning Guidelines for Windows Server 2008 R2 . http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/gg463392.aspx . Tuning Windows to Optimize Oracle Database . http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13831_01/tuning.htm

. Check ‘Startup’ services, Screensaver and other Visual Effect

. Remove unused network protocols, check firewall ports for MySQL

. Check Virtual Memory setting (minimize if possible)

. Background services priority

. Separate temporary directory for MySQL in options file (--tmpdir=path)

. Is the MySQL Authentication module for Windows Active Directory an option?

. Use Workbench and MySQL Notifier to administer the server (RDP access)

. Database files on own partition / disks (fragmentation) . NTFS should be mandatory . Compression / Encryption / Indexing / Virus scanning, disabled? . Aligning IO, Block sizes . Write caching on the device, disable/enable? . HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\ NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate, disable? . Temporary directory for windows . Migration: Uppercase/Lowercase filenames are not relevant for Windows

MySQL Post installation configuration Don’t forget …

DBMS tuning has normally more effect than OS or HW Tuning!

. Normally based on ODBC

Migration project management allows migrations to be configured, copied, edited, executed and scheduled.

Source and Target selection allows users to define specific data sources and to analyze source data in advance of the migration.

Object migration allows users to select objects to migrate, assign source to target mappings where needed, edit migration scripts and create the target schema.

Data migration allows users to map source and target data and data types, set up data transfer and assign post data transfer events where needed. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates.

All MySQL components are available on Windows for Client, Server and Connector level too . Performance mainly depends on MySQL Tuning! . Working with core MySQL is platform independent, basic DB administration is even easier on Windows

. But .. . MySQL on Windows is not #1 choice for ultra high MySQL scaling . MySQL Cluster edition on Windows requires special attention . Resources like CPU/Memory are sometimes restricted by Windows, make sure to use the correct Windows edition. Copyright © 2013, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

The MySQL DBA dilemma No need to worry …
