Output parameters are a feature of stored procedures that is seldom used, which is a shame because they are an excellent option for returning scalar data to the user. In today's blog, we'll learn some uses for Output Parameters and how to use them in your stored procedures.
Theres an adage for user privileges that you should assign a user the least amount of privileges that he or she requires to perform their job function(s) and no more. That is why MySQL offers such a fine-grained access control system. While not the easiest system to grasp, once a DBA does, he or she tends to agree that it really is quite effective. In today's blog, we'll learn how to prevent a user from listing databases in MySQL.
Fetching rows that have a particular value, but not others, is a fairly common task in database development and administration. It sounds like a walk in the park, but limiting the results to those rows that possess one value to the exclusion of others is trickier than it sounds. The reason is, while it's trivial to filter out values using the != not equals or NOT IN comparison operators, these only hide values rather than tell us whether or not an entity possesses these other values. The good news is that there's an easy way to do it. Read on to find out how!
A short time ago we were introduced the incredibly useful and versatile Case Statement. In that blog, we employed the Case Statement as most DBAs and developers do, in the SELECT clause. Another way to use the Case Statement is within the WHERE clause. There, it may be utilized to alter the data fetched by a query based on a condition. Within that context, the Case Statement is ideally suited to both static queries, as well as dynamic ones, such as those that you would find inside a stored procedure. In today's blog, we'll create a SELECT query in Navicat Premium that returns rows based on the values of another field.
With so many factors to consider, uncovering the root cause(s) of slow query execution takes an organized approach. Luckily, with a bit of effort, you can pin down an issue to one of the more common culprits by checking up on a few things. In today's blog, we'll learn how Navicat Monitor 2 can help you get the the bottom of slow query execution - fast!
