MySQL 5.7 Service

The new MySQL server is available via the name:

mysql2g.scc.kit.edu

accessible.

Example: mysql -h mysql2g.scc.kit.edu -u [username] -p

EXPORT - IMPORT procedures

If you prefer the export-import procedure on the command line then you need a MySQL client specific to your

specific MySQL client for your operating system.

The simplest example of the two operations:

EXPORT:
$ mysqldump -h mysql2g.scc.kit.edu -u user_name -p --databases database_name > my_databases.sql
Enter password:

IMPORT:
Log in with your MySQL user
$ mysql -h mysql2g.scc.kit.edu -u user_name -p
Enter password:

On the MySQL command line, run:

mysql > source /path/to/my_databases.sql

MySQL uses a secure password authentication algorithm even over an unencrypted connection. However, the data is still transferred in plain text - if this is undesirable, the MySQL connection must be encrypted.

Unfortunately MySQL still does not support the delivery of a certificate chain - only the pure server certificate is delivered. Therefore every client must check against theused sub-CA - on machines with a small nursery it is best to take the directory /usr/common/machine/etc/X.509 or the file /usr/common/machine/etc/X.509/all.crt for this.

MySQL client:
To get encrypted access, --ssl-ca=/usr/common/machine/etc/X.509/all.crt must be specified;
with \s the SSL: line can then be checked.

PHP:
To enable encryption,MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL must be specified as client_flags when callingmysql_connect() .

\$db_handle = mysqli_init();
mysqli_options(\$db_handle, MYSQLI_OPT_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT, true);
mysqli_real_connect(\$db_handle, \$servername, \$username, \$password, \$dbname, 3306, NULL, MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL);
mysqli_set_charset(\$db_handle, 'utf8');

Perl can access viaDBI andDBD::mysql .

Administration

If you don't have sufficient SQL knowledge, you can also administrate your MySQL databases withphpMyAdmin.

Daily backup

Currently there is a nightly dump to the file system, which is backed up via TSM archiving. For restoring older versions please contactMySQL Admin.
