There is also a new <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/x-devapi-userguide\/en\/\">X Plugin<\/a> (see: <code>mysql-5.7.12\/rapid\/<\/code>) (which now makes use of <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/protocol-buffers\/\">protocol buffers<\/a> (see: <code>mysql-5.7.12\/extra\/protobuf\/<\/code>)). I will agree, this is <a href=\"http:\/\/mysqlserverteam.com\/mysql-5-7-12-part-1-more-than-a-maintenance-release\/\">more than just a maintenance release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Do get started playing with <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/refman\/5.7\/en\/mysql-shell.html\">MySQL Shell<\/a>. If you&#8217;re using the yum repository, remember to ensure you have enabled the <code>mysql-tools-preview<\/code> in <code>\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mysql-community.repo<\/code>. And don&#8217;t forget to load the X Plugin in the server! I can&#8217;t wait for the rest of the blog posts in the series, and today just took a cursory look at all of this &#8212; kudos Team MySQL @ Oracle.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;m concerned that the GA is getting what you would think of as more than just a maintenance release. We saw <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/relnotes\/mysql\/5.7\/en\/news-5-7-11.html\">5.7.11<\/a> get at rest data encryption for InnoDB, and now <a href=\"http:\/\/dev.mysql.com\/doc\/relnotes\/mysql\/5.7\/en\/news-5-7-12.html\">5.7.12<\/a> getting even more changes. This is going to for example, ship in the next <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/XenialXerus\/ReleaseSchedule\">Ubuntu LTS, Xenial Xerus<\/a>. Today it has <a href=\"http:\/\/packages.ubuntu.com\/xenial\/database\/mysql-server-5.7\">5.7.11<\/a>, but presumably after release it will be upgrade to 5.7.12. I am not a huge fan of surprises in LTS releases (predictability over 5 years is a nice thing; this probably explains why I still have a 5.0.95 server running), but I guess this small band-aid is what we need to ensure this doesn&#8217;t happen going forward?<\/p>\n<p>As for the other question I&#8217;ve seen via email from several folk so far: will MariaDB Server support this? I don&#8217;t see why not in the future, so why not file a <a href=\"https:\/\/jira.mariadb.org\/secure\/Dashboard.jspa\">Jira<\/a>? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting developments in the MySQL world &#8211; it can now be used as a document store and you can query the database using JavaScript instead of SQL (via the MySQL Shell).
