Great overview all applies to Spirit too. But also jealous my videos don’t have the same level of visualizations.
Particularly agree on all the caveats about online DDL. It’s very hard to navigate and be successful.

Ahhh my first video is liveeee! 🙈 I give a demo of how schema changes can lock up your database, how online schema change tools work, and how you can make schema changes without any locking or downtime.

Interesting idea by @morgo
bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=11…
I think it’s doable but don’t think it’s as simple as taking multiple views from a single transaction. IIRC, handling the deletes makes it tricky.
Perhaps easier to use a transaction per B-tree sub-tree. Once a sub-tree scan completes delete the read view.

Spotted in the TiDB docs: docs.pingcap.com/tidb/stable… Different dimensions you say?
Backstory: TiDB uses 2 configuration systems: the config file and system variables. Some options can be set in either, but the naming convention is different. It's totally not confusing at all :(

@morgo before I read the post I guess that #1 SHOULD BE foreign key support and that's it, lol.
A conversation with somebody shows that "suppose a RELATIONAL database that doesn't support foreign key, it makes the word 'RELATIONAL' a JOKE.".
天大的笑话😅
