New Features
in MySQL 5.6


MySQL 5.6: A better MySQL
Increased Performance, Scalability and Flexibility DM
Download!

• First public release in April 11, 2011
– not ready for use in production yet
– available for the community to test, deploy and provide feedback
– Download it from dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql

• Builds on MySQL 5.5 by improving:
– Optimizer for better Performance, Scalability
– Performance Schema for better Instrumentation
– InnoDB for better Transactional Throughput
– Replication for Higher Availability, Data Integrity
– “NotOnlySQL” options for more Flexibility

Web Cloud Embedded On-Premise

New Performance Features
Optimizer

• File sort optimizations for queries with ORDER by clause on
non-indexed column and small LIMIT values

• Index Condition Pushdown (ICP)

• Batched Key Access (BKA) & Multi Range Read (MRR)

• Late materialization of views/subqueries in FROM clauses

• EXPLAIN for Insert, Update, and Delete

• Persistent Optimizer Statistics (InnoDB)

• Optimizer Traces


New Optimizer Features
File sort optimization - ORDER by on non-indexed
column & small LIMIT

CREATE TABLE t1(
f0 int auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,
f1 int,
f2 varchar(200)
);

SELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY f2 LIMIT 100;

• Web use case: list top 100 products sorted by name
• Avoid creating intermediate sorted files
• Produce ordered result set using a single table scan

• Example above: 20 million rows, default sort buffer

→ 3x better execution time (drops from 40s to 10s)

18

Index Condition Pushdown (ICP)

CREATE TABLE person (
personid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
firstname CHAR(20),
lastname CHAR(20),
postalcode INTEGER,
age INTEGER,
address CHAR(50),
KEY k1 (postalcode,age)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

SELECT lastname, firstname FROM person
WHERE postalcode BETWEEN 5000 AND 5500 AND age BETWEEN 21 AND 22;

• With ICP disabled: • With ICP enabled:
– 15 s (buffer pool 128 Mb) → Execution time drops to 90 ms
for both
– 1.4 s (buffer pool 1.5 Gb) – 5M rows
– Commodity hardware

Late materialization of views/subqueries in FROM
clauses

• Late materialization
– Allows fast EXPLAINs for views/subqueries
– Avoid materialization when possible, for a faster bail out if
query is abandoned or canceled
A key can be generated for derived tables

→ 240x better execution time (drops from ~8 min to ~2 sec)

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM a_big_table);
SELECT … FROM derived_table AS dt
join table AS t WHERE dt.fld = t.dlf

21

EXPLAIN for Insert, Update, and Delete

• Long standing feature request from customers and users

CREATE TABLE t1(
c1 INT,
c2 INT,
KEY(c2),
KEY(c2, c1)
);

EXPLAIN UPDATE t1 SET c1 = 10 WHERE c2 = 1;

mysql> EXPLAIN UPDATE t1 SET c1 = 10 WHERE c2 = 1;
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type | possible_keys | key | key_len | ref | rows | Extra |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
| 1 | SIMPLE | t1 | range | c2,c2_2 | c2 | 5 | NULL | 1 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+------+---------+------+------+-------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


Persistent Optimizer Statistics (InnoDB)

• InnoDB precomputes statistics that helps the optimizer
decide which index to use in a query
• More stable and accurate Statistics
– Persistent across server restarts
– Minimizes the overhead of recalculating statistics on start
up or crash recovery
• Can be manually updated, if needed (ANALYZE table_name)

Variables Tables
● innodb_analyze_is_persistent ● mysql.innodb_table_stats
● innodb_stats_persistent_sample_pages ● mysql.innodb_index_stats

● innodb_stats_transient_sample_pages


Optimizer Traces

• EXPLAIN shows the generated plan "records_estimation": [
• TRACE shows {
"database": "test",
"table": "t6",
– how the plan was generated "range_analysis": {
"table_scan": {
– decision-making steps of the optimizer "records": 2,
"cost": 4.5034

• Useful for developers, support, advanced
},
"potential_range_indices": [
{
customers & users "index": "d",
"usable": true,
• First step in 5.6.3, more tracing to come "key_parts": [
"d"
]
}
],
SET @@SESSION.OPTIMIZER_TRACE='enabled=on'; "best_covering_index_scan": {
SELECT (SELECT 1 FROM t6 WHERE d = c) "index": "d",
"cost": 1.4233,
AS RESULT FROM t5; "chosen": true
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.OPTIMIZER_TRACE; },


New Performance Features
Performance Schema Instrumentation

• Statements/executing Stages
Statements/executing Stages
– What are my most resource intensive queries? Where do they spend
time?
• Table/Index I/O, Table Locks
Table/Index I/O, Table Locks
– Which application tables/indexes cause the most load or contention?

• Users/Hosts/Accounts Resource Consumption
Users/Hosts/Accounts Resource Consumption
– Which application users, hosts, accounts are consuming the most
resources?

• Network I/O
Network I/O
– Is it the network or my application? How long do sessions idle?

Summaries
• Summaries
– Aggregated statistics grouped by thread, user, host, account or object

read/write intensive
MySQL Replication applications
