Release highlights

Percona XtraDB Cluster is based on Percona Server for MySQL. Find a complete list of improvements and bug fixes in the Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.31-23 (2022-11-21) release notes.

This release adds the following feature in tech preview:

Improvements and bug fixes introduced by Oracle for MySQL 8.0.31 and included in Percona Server for MySQL are the following:

  • MySQL adds support for the SQL standard INTERSECT and EXCEPT table operators.

  • InnoDB supports parallel index builds. This improves index build performance. The sorted index entries are loaded into a B-tree in a multithread. In previous releases, this action was performed by a single thread.

  • The Performance and sys schemas show metrics for the global and session memory limits introduced in MySQL 8.0.28.

    The following columns have been added to the Performance Schema tables:

    Performance Schema tables Columns
    SETUP_INSTRUMENTS FLAGS
    THREADS CONTROLLED_MEMORY, MAX_CONTROLLED_MEMORY, TOTAL_MEMORY, MAX_TOTAL_MEMORY
    EVENTS_STATEMENTS_CURRENT, EVENTS_STATEMENTS_HISTORY, EVENTS_STATEMENTS_HISTORY_LONG MAX_CONTROLLED_MEMORY, MAX_TOTAL_MEMORY
    Statement Summary Tables MAX_CONTROLLED_MEMORY, MAX_TOTAL_MEMORY
    Performance Schema Connection Tables MAX_SESSION_CONTROLLED_MEMORY, MAX_SESSION_TOTAL_MEMORY
    PREPARED_STATEMENTS_INSTANCES MAX_CONTROLLED_MEMORY, MAX_TOTAL_MEMORY

    The following columns have been added to the sys schema STATEMENT_ANALYSIS and X$STATEMENT_ANALYSIS views:

    • MAX_CONTROLLED_MEMORY

    • MAX_TOTAL_MEMORY

    The controlled_by_default flag has been added to the PROPERTIES column of the SETUP_INSTRUMENTS table.

    Now, you can add and remove non-global memory instruments to the set of controlled-memory instruments. To do this, set the value of the FLAGS column of SETUP_INSTRUMENTS.

    SQL> UPDATE PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.SETUP_INTRUMENTS SET FLAGS="controlled" 
WHERE NAME='memory/sql/NET::buff';

  • The audit_log_flush variable has been deprecated and will be removed in future releases.
