Join Percona Chief Evangelist Colin Charles as he covers happenings, gives pointers and provides musings on the open source database community. OSCON happened last week and was incredible. It is true there was less of a database focus, and a lot more topics covered. In fact, you’d have found it hard to find database content. There was […]

In this blog post, I’ll look at how you can analyze MySQL audit logs (Percona Server for MySQL) with ClickHouse and ClickTail.

Besides providing insights about activity on your server, you might need the logs for compliance purposes. However, on an active […]

To name just a few issues: The larger the table and index, the slower […]

In this blog, I’ll use ClickHouse and Tabix to look at a new very large dataset for research. It is hard to come across interesting datasets, especially a big one (and by big I mean one billion rows or more). Before, I’ve used on-time airline performance available from BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION STATISTICS. Another recent example is NYC […]

The first was a discussion of […]
