engine
◦ Characteristics / Features
◦ Storage format

MySQL Architecture
MySQL Architecture
The brains of the MySQL server
Component Feature
Parsing Responsible for deconstructing the
requested SQL statements
Optimizing Responsible for finding the optimal
execution plan for the query
Executing Responsible for executing the
optimized path for the SQL
command passed through the
parser and optimizer
Query Cache The query cache is a fast in-memory
store to quickly look up the result set
of a particular SELECT statement
Storage Engines Enables MySQL to use different
implementations for storing,
retrieving and indexing data
How MySQL uses Disk and
Memory
How MySQL Uses Disk Space
• Data directory
• Table and view format files (.frm)
• Server log files and status files
• Trigger storage
• System database (MySQL)
How MySQL Memory
Two different types memory allocation
• per-session (allocated for each connection
thread)
>Session specific
>Dynamically allocated and deallocated
>Mostly utilized for handling query results
>Buffer sizes usually per session
• per-instance (allocated once for the entire
server)
>Allocated only once (per server instance)
>Shared by the server processes and all of its
threads
How MySQL Memory
• Server allocates memory for the following
• Thread caches
• Buffers
• MEMORY tables
• Internal temporary tables
• Client specific buffers
MySQL Engines
Storage Engines
A storage engine is a software module that a
database management system uses to create,
read, update data from a database
• Client sends requests to the server as SQL
• Two-tier processing
>Upper tier includes SQL parser and optimizer
>Lower tier comprises a set of storage engines
• SQL tier not dependent on storage engine
>Engine setting does not effect processing
>Some Exceptions
MySQL Interaction with Storage Engines
What makes Storage Engine different
• Storage medium
• Transactional capabilities
• Locking
• Backup and recovery
• Optimization
• Special features
>Full-text search
>Referential integrity
>Spatial data handling
Available Storage Engines
Engines
• View Available Storage Engines
>SHOW ENGINES
• Setting the Storage Engine
>Specify engine using CREATE TABLE
>CREATE TABLE t (i INT) ENGINE = InnoDB;
• Uses system default if not set
>--default-storage-engine
>@@storage_engine
• Change storage engine using ALTER TABLE
>ALTER TABLE t ENGINE = MEMORY;
The MyISAM Storage Engine
The MyISAM storage engine was the default storage
engine from MySQL 3.23 until it was replaced by
InnoDB in MariaDB and MySQL 5.5.
MyISAM Row Storage Formats
Compressing MyISAM Tables
The InnoDB Storage Engine
InnoDB Tablespace
Multiple Tablespace
MyISAM versus InnoDB
The MEMORY Storage Engine(1/2)
The MEMORY Storage Engine(2/2)
ARCHIVE Storage Engine
ARCHIVE Storage
ARCHIVE Retrieving and Archiving
CSV Storage Engine
