MariaDB is a community-developed, commercially supported fork of the MySQL relational database management system.

ADD: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/memory-use.html

Installation


yum install mariadb-server mariadb -y
apt-get install mariadb mariadb-server


Post-install Configuration

(Recommend running these in order)

Start the MySQL service: 

# sysVinit
service mysqld start
service mariadb start 

# Systemd
systemctl start mysql
systemctl start mysql


Enable service to start it upon boot up: 

systemctl enable mariadb
chkconfig mysql on


To configure your mysql/mariadb for the very first time to secure it, run the following command below:

  • Set mysql root password.
  • Remove root accounts that are accessible from outside the local host.
  • Remove anonymous-user accounts.
  • Remove the test database, which by default can be accessed by anonymous users.
  • More info.
mysql_secure_installation


Login mariadb/mysql as root: 

mysql -u root -p


At the database prompt, run the following commands for basic setup: 

# Create the user
CREATE USER 'admin'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSwoRD';

# Create the database
CREATE DATABASE database_name;

# Grant privileges to newly created DB
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'admin'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

# Confirm DB was created:
SHOW DATABASES;

# Confirm grants:
SHOW GRANTS FOR 'admin'@'localhost';

# Quit
exit


Other useful commands, for instance to see what is your “site_url” option_id 1 and “home” option_id 2. 

SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_value=“https://siteurl.com”;
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_id=“1”;
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_id=“2”;


Configuration Files


For most systems the MySQL configuration file is: /etc/my.cnf

The default port for MySQL is 3306.

Database files: /var/lib/mysql

  • Usually /var/lib/mysql (or /var/db/mysql) directory used to store database and tales under UNIX like operating systems. You can use the following command to locate MySQL datadir:
$ grep datadir /etc/my.cnf
datadir=/var/lib/mysql

(In the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, /var/lib is listed as containing: State information. Persistent data modified by programs as they run, e.g., databases, packaging system metadata, etc.)


Bitnami Configuration files


MySQL Version 

mysqld --version

MySQL Configuration File 

/opt/bitnami/mysql/my.cnf
  • Some configuration overrides are stored in
/opt/bitnami/mysql/bitnami/my.cnf.

MySQL Socket

  • On Unix, MySQL clients can connect to the server in the local machine using an Unix socket file at
/opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock

MySQL Process Identification Number

  • The MySQL .pid file allows other programs to find out the PID (Process Identification Number) of a running script. Find it at
/opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.pid

MySQL Error Log

  • The log-error file contains information indicating when mysqld was started and stopped and also any critical errors that occur while the server is running. If mysqld notices a table that needs to be automatically checked or repaired, it writes a message to the error log.
/opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log

How to create a back up (dump file) and restore DB

  • The way I did it for my site:
$ mysqldump --user=<user>--password=<password> <DB Table name> > dikapedia.sql


https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-backup-restore-a-mysql-database
https://wordpress.org/support/article/restoring-your-database-from-backup/

Can also use PhpMyAdmin to backup and restore if they are using that.
https://support.managed.com/kb/a2034/how-to-backup-and-or-restore-your-mysql-database-using-phpmyadmin.aspx

If you run into issues with importing using PhpMyAdmin because the .sql file is large, see: phpMyAdmin - Error > Incorrect format parameter?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50690076/phpmyadmin-error-incorrect-format-parameter
It is suggested to increase the values of two variables in php.ini file. Change following in php.ini 

upload_max_filesize=64M
post_max_size=64M


How to drop database (delete database)

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/drop-database/ 

DROP DATABASE bufg;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.39 sec)

DROP DATABASE bufg;
ERROR 1008 (HY000): Can't drop database 'bufg'; database doesn't exist

 \W
Show warnings enabled. 

DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS bufg;
Query OK, 0 rows affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)
Note (Code 1008): Can't drop database 'bufg'; database doesn't exist

The issue is due to 'Performance Schema' [1]. The MySQL Performance Schema is a feature for monitoring MySQL Server execution at a low level [2].

When starting up, it allocates all the RAM it needs. By default, it will use around 400MB of RAM, which is quite significant for a small virtual machine (t3a.micro). If you add in default InnoDB buffer pool setting of 128MB, then you're well over 512MB RAM, not including other things from the OS.

As a fix, according to document [1], disable performance schema under the [mysqld] section of the mysql/mariadb configuration file '/etc/my.cnf'. (I've just disabled this, so lets see if it actually fixes it... Today is 1/16/2020 : 

[mysqld]
performance_schema=off

MySQL error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (Regain Root access)

I have worked cases where users were unable to login using their 'root' user and password. Users would get the error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'.

To fix this, follow the steps below:

1) Edit the MySQL configuration file to add line "skip-grant-tables" under the [mysqld] section: 

$ sudo vi /opt/bitnami/mysql/my.cnf

# Added line "skip-grant-tables" like so:
[mysqld]
...
skip-grant-tables
...

2) Restarted the MySQL service: 

$ sudo systemctl restart mysqld
$ sudo service mysqld restart

# Bitnami
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

3) Login to MySQL using 'root' user: 

$ mysql -u root mysql

4) Update root password and flush privileges by running the following commands: 

mysql> update user set plugin='mysql_native_password' where User='root';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit;

5) Restart the MySQL service: 

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

6) You were then able to login using the new 'root' user's password: 

$ mysql -u root -p

7) *NOTE* We did not do this step during our conversation but I recommend doing so. Please comment out the line "skip-grant-tables" under the [mysqld] section of the file "/opt/bitnami/mysql/my.cnf" as it is no longer needed.

What to do if you want to move MySQL database from secondary volume to the root volume

What that engineer did was tell the customer to:

  1. Check /etc/my.cnf
  2. change 'datadir=/var/lib/mysql' —> datadir= /rescue/var/lib/mysql
  3. Restart mysql to see if it works and it did. So now the customer just have to move all their files from /rescue/var/lib/mysql to /var/lib/mysql, and revert the change back to datadir=/var/lib/mysq


Robert's alternative way: 

# stop the mysql service
$ systemctl stop mysql

$ mount -o bind /var/lib/mysql /mnt/var/lib/mysql
$ mount -o bind /etc/mysql /mnt/etc/mysql
 
# then start mysql service
$ systemctl start mysql

# connect to mysql DB
$ mysql -u root -p

# then show databases
SHOW DATABASES;


WordPress site gets "Error establishing database connection"

Most likely due to out of memory, mysql is down, or corrupted table (from my experience). Check the following logs: 

$ grep -i "memory" /var/log/messages
$ grep -i "memory" /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log

# Bitnami MySQL logs:
/opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log

Repairing Tables with phpMyAdmin:


For you, you might prefer to use phpMyAdmin. Fortunately, repairing a table with phpMyAdmin is easy.

  1. Log in to your phpMyAdmin or connect to it via your cPanel back-end.
  2. Select the database with the crashed table.
  3. Put a checkmark next to each crashed table.
  4. Select “Repair table” from the “With selected:” drop down at the bottom of the list.
  5. Let phpMyAdmin do its thing.
