MySQL Transaction Isolation Level

Transaction Isolation Levels:
  • Isolation level can be change for a single session or for all subsequent connections with the SET TRANSACTION statement.
  • To set the server's default isolation level for all connections, use the --transaction-isolation option on the command line or in an option file.
  • Each isolation level has different locking strategies.
READ UNCOMMITTED:
SELECT statements are performed in a nonlocking fashion, but a possible earlier version of a row might be used. Thus, using this isolation level, such reads are not consistent. This is also called a dirty read.
READ COMMITTED:
First UPDATE acquires an x-lock on each row that it reads and releases those for rows that it does not modify. Each consistent read, even within the same transaction, sets and reads its own fresh snapshot. If you use READ COMMITTED, you must use row-based binary logging.
REPEATABLE READ:
Default for InnoDB - the first UPDATE acquires an x-lock on each row that it reads and does not release any of them. Consistent reads within the same transaction read the snapshot established by the first read.Several plain (nonlocking) SELECT statements within the same transaction are consistent also with respect to each other.
SERIALIZABLE:
This level is like REPEATABLE READ, but InnoDB implicitly converts all plain SELECT statements to SELECT ... LOCK IN SHARE MODE if autocommit is disabled.
If autocommit is enabled, the SELECT is its own transaction.

Amazon RDS | Amzon Redshift | Big Data | Boost Performance with Amazon ElastiCache

Amazon RDS with Amazon ElastiCache for Performance: Amazon RDS supports - Oracle, MS SQL server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. It is a managed service offered by the Amazon.  Couple of customers have observed the performance issues during their journey with Amazon RDS with Oracle, MS SQL Server, MySQL, Maria DB and PostgreSQL. Amazon cloud engineers / database consultants / database architect and Amazon supports worked to-gather to boost the Amazon RDS performance by tuning the RDBMS configuration parameters using Amazon RDS parameter group , and have not achieved the SLA for Amazon RDS .  Amazon RDS with Multi AZ and Read Replica: Some of the the AWS professionals have suggested for vertical scaling of the Amazon RDS . It should works and its absolutely correct. In my opinion, it would be a good idea to think about the Amazon ElastiCache service with Amazon RDS for better performance and cost optimization also rather than vertically scaling the Amazon RDS . I would sug...

Needs for Graph Database

Needs for Graph Database: We are living in the era of data, data is treated more precise than gold and platinum. Most of the enterprises are trying to get more insight about the data they have it as an operational / warehouse / analytical.   Ref.: https://dist.neo4j.com/wp-content/uploads/graph-example.png To get more insight into the data, it is required to see the relationship among the data points. The challenge is how to establish the relationship among data points and the answers is Graph database. Relational databases can't help to establish the relationship among data points, due to their rigid schema, and consistent schema. Relational Database issues for data set: Number of Joins:  While fetching data from relational databases, we join many tables, these joins are complex, and consume considerable amount of computing resources, which increase the query response times. Self- joins: For database ware house / business intelligence systems using RDBMS, self-JOIN are ...
