1. What is MySQL database

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by the Swedish company MySQL AB and now maintained and supported by Oracle Corporation. The MySQL database is famous for its stability, high performance, reliability, and ease of use, and is widely used in various web applications and enterprise-level applications.

The MySQL database follows the SQL (Structured Query Language) standard, allowing users to manage and manipulate data in the database through SQL statements. It supports multiple operating system platforms, including Windows, Linux, macOS, etc., and provides APIs of multiple programming languages, such as PHP, Python, Java, etc., so that developers can easily interact with the database.

MySQL provides a wealth of functions, including data storage and retrieval, transaction processing, user management, data backup and recovery, etc. It supports multiple storage engines, such as InnoDB, MyISAM, etc., so that users can choose the most suitable storage engine according to application requirements.

MySQL also provides a series of tools and graphical interfaces, such as MySQL Workbench, for database management, monitoring and tuning.

In general, the MySQL database is a powerful and easy-to-use relational database management system, which is widely used in various applications and enterprise environments.

2. How SpringBoot integrates MySQL

In Spring Boot, to integrate the MySQL database, you can follow the steps below:

Add MySQL dependency: Add MySQL dependency in the pom.xml file of the project. For example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>8.0.26</version>
</dependency>

Configure database connection: configure the MySQL database connection information in the application.properties or application.yml file. For example:

In application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_name
spring.datasource.username=username
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

In application.yml:

spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db_name
    username: username
    password: password
    driver-class-name: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver

Create a data source: Create a data source in the configuration class of Spring Boot. For example, in a class called DataSourceConfig:

@Configuration
public class DataSourceConfig {
    
    @Value("${spring.datasource.url}")
    private String url;
    
    @Value("${spring.datasource.username}")
    private String username;
    
    @Value("${spring. datasource. password}")
    private String password;
    
    @Value("${spring.datasource.driver-class-name}")
    private String driverClassName;
    
    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
        dataSource.setUrl(url);
        dataSource.setUsername(username);
        dataSource.setPassword(password);
        dataSource.setDriverClassName(driverClassName);
        return dataSource;
    }
}

Create JdbcTemplate: Create a JdbcTemplate bean in the Spring Boot configuration class to perform SQL operations. For example, in the same configuration class as DataSourceConfig:

@Configuration
public class DataSourceConfig {
    
    //...
?
    @Bean
    public JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate(DataSource dataSource) {
        return new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
    }
}

Now, you have completed the integration of Spring Boot and MySQL. You can use JdbcTemplate or other persistence frameworks (such as Spring Data JPA) to perform database operations in your application. Remember to inject JdbcTemplate or other related DAO objects where you need to use the database, and perform database operations through them.

3. What is MySQL read-write separation

MySQL read-write separation is a database architecture design pattern used to share database pressure and improve performance. In the read-write separation architecture, the database master node (Master) is responsible for processing write operations (such as insert, update, delete), while multiple slave nodes (Slave) are responsible for processing read operations (such as query). The write operation of the master node will be synchronized to the slave node to maintain data consistency.

The main purpose of read-write separation is to reduce the read load of the master node and improve the concurrency and response speed of the system by allocating read operations to multiple slave nodes. Since read operations are usually more frequent than write operations, read-write separation can effectively improve the overall performance of the system.

There are usually several ways to achieve read-write separation in MySQL:

  1. Based on MySQL’s built-in replication function: By configuring MySQL master-slave replication, the write operations of the master node are synchronized to the slave nodes, and the slave nodes provide read services.

  2. Use middleware: Use some middleware tools, such as MySQL Proxy, MySQL Router, MaxScale, etc., to realize the proxy and routing functions of read-write separation.

  3. Use a distributed database system: the database is divided into multiple nodes, and each node is responsible for a part of the data read and write operations to achieve horizontal expansion and load balancing.

Read and write separation needs to pay attention to the following points:

  • The write operation of the master node needs to be synchronized to the slave node to maintain data consistency. Data synchronization can be achieved by using semi-synchronous replication or asynchronous replication provided by MySQL.

  • Slave nodes are usually used for read operations and are not suitable for write operations. Write operations should still be concentrated on the primary node to avoid data conflicts and inconsistencies.

  • In the read-write separation architecture, the failure of the primary node may cause the unavailability of write operations. Therefore, appropriate high-availability measures need to be taken, such as using master-slave switching, automatic failover, etc.

  • It is necessary to pay attention to the real-time requirements of read-write separation for data. Since the master-slave synchronization has a certain delay, data inconsistency may occur when a write operation is performed immediately after a read operation.

Read-write separation is a common database architecture design pattern that can improve system performance and scalability. In practical applications, it is necessary to select a suitable read-write separation scheme according to business requirements and system load conditions.

4. What is MySQL performance optimization

MySQL performance optimization refers to improving the performance and response speed of the MySQL database through various technical means and optimization strategies. MySQL database performance optimization can involve many aspects, the following are some common optimization techniques:

1. Reasonable design of database structure: Through reasonable database design, table structure design, index design, etc., unnecessary data redundancy and associated queries are reduced, and the query efficiency of the database is improved.

2. Properly optimize SQL query statements: reduce the query burden on the database and improve query performance by optimizing the way SQL statements are written, the use of query conditions, and avoiding unnecessary JOIN operations.

3. Reasonably configure MySQL parameters: According to system configuration, hardware resources, load conditions, etc., adjust MySQL configuration parameters, such as buffer size, number of connections, number of concurrent threads, etc., to improve database performance.

4. Use appropriate indexes: According to query requirements and data distribution, reasonably create indexes to speed up query operations. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection and quantity of indexes, so as to avoid negative impact on performance caused by too many or too few indexes.

5. Regularly optimize database tables: By regularly executing optimization commands (such as ANALYZE TABLE, OPTIMIZE TABLE, etc.) to repair table fragments, update statistical information, and improve database query performance.

6. Reasonable use of cache: By using caching technology, such as using middleware such as Redis or Memcached to cache popular data, reduce the access pressure of the database and improve reading performance.

7. Partition table: Partition large tables, store data scattered on multiple physical storage devices, and improve query efficiency and concurrent operation capabilities.

8. Use batch operations: For a large number of data insertion, update or deletion operations, you can use batch operations to reduce the number of interactions with the database and improve performance.

9. Use connection pool: By using connection pool technology, database connections can be reused, the overhead of connection creation and destruction can be reduced, and the performance of the database can be improved.

10. Monitoring and tuning: Regularly monitor the performance indicators of the database, such as query time, response time, number of concurrent connections, etc., and perform targeted optimization by analyzing performance bottlenecks.

To sum up, MySQL performance optimization needs to comprehensively consider database design, SQL query, configuration parameters, index and cache and other factors, and select and implement optimization measures according to specific application scenarios and requirements.
