After a long wait to just see Spidey in Captain America: Civl War, we’ve finally got a better glimpse at just how the character is going to act now that he’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe Bucky wasn’t the person to snark at.

Okay, so it might not be snark. Spider-Man could be totally honest when he says, “You have a metal arm? That is awesome dude.” In fact, he sounds completely genuine and exactly like a teenager. Who has spider powers. And totally, after that sentence, deserves to be punched into a wall by a very angry assassin.

The best quality TV spot with this new footage also happens to be one with subtitles. Sorry about that, but Spider-Man appears at the :18 mark.

The MySQL Document Store introduced with version 5.7.12 allows developers to create document collections without have to know Structured Query Language. The new feature also comes with a new set of terminology. So let us create a collection and see what it in it (basically creating a table for us SQL speakin’ old timers). So start the mysqlsh program, connect to the server, change to the world-x schema (database) switch to Python mode, a create a collection (table). What did the server do for us? Switching to SQL mode, we can use describe to see what the server has done for us. We have a two column table. The first is named doc and is used to store JSON. And there is also a column named _id and please notice this column is notated as STORED GENERATED.The generated column extracts values from a JSON document and materializes that information into a new column that then can be indexed. But what did the system extract for us to create this new column?Lets use SHOW CREATE TABLE to find out. mysql-sql> SHOW CREATE TABLE foobar;+——–+—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-+| Table | Create Table |+——–+—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-+| foobar | CREATE TABLE `foobar` ( `doc` json DEFAULT NULL, `_id` varchar(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,’$._id’))) STORED NOT NULL, UNIQUE KEY `_id` (`_id`)) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4 |+——–+—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-+1 row in set (0.00 sec)mysql-sql>So the 5.7.12 document store is creating an index for us on a field named _id in our JSON document. Hmm, what if I do not have an _id field in my data. So I added two records ("Name" : "Dave" and "Name" : "Jack") into my new collection and then took a peek. mysql> select * from foobar;+————————————————————-+———————————-+| doc | _id |+————————————————————-+———————————-+| {"_id": "819a19383d9fd111901100059a3c7a00", "Name": "Dave"} | 819a19383d9fd111901100059a3c7a00 || {"_id": "d639274c3d9fd111901100059a3c7a00", "Name": "Jack"} | d639274c3d9fd111901100059a3c7a00 |+————————————————————-+———————————-+2 rows in set (0.00 sec)mysql>But what if i do have a _id of my own? The system picked up the _id for the Dexter record. Remember that the index on the _id field is marked UNIQUE which means you can not reuse that number.So we know the document store wants is creating an unique identification number (that we can also use). Update: The client generates the identification number, the server can not due to possible conflicts in future sharding projects.

All Guns Are Always Unlocked: Guns for Beginners

This week brought news that pro-gun people everywhere should be celebrating. I’m talking about the US Treasury’s announcement that they plan to remove a Democrat from the $20 bill, and replace him with a gun-toting, Republican freedom fighter named Harriet Tubman. I’ve seen Tubman depicted with a variety of different types of guns in paintings[…..]

US Treasury To Put Gun-toting Republican Freedom Fighter on the $20 Bill

 I’ve previously evaluated MariaDB’s 10.1 implementation of data encryption at rest (http://ift.tt/1QnLtVl), and recently did the same for Oracle’s implementation (http://ift.tt/1Ve0tg1) in their MySQL 5.7. First, here’s a walkthrough of enabling encryption for MySQL 5.7:1. Install keyring plugin.1a. Add the following to the [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf:… early-plugin-load=keyring_file.so1b. Restart the server:… service mysqld restart1c. Verify:… mysql> SELECT PLUGIN_NAME, PLUGIN_STATUS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS WHERE PLUGIN_NAME LIKE ‘keyring%’; +————–+—————+ | PLUGIN_NAME | PLUGIN_STATUS | +————–+—————+ | keyring_file | ACTIVE | +————–+—————+2. Ensure innodb_file_per_table is on.2a. Check…. mysql> show global variables like ‘innodb_file_per_table’; +———————–+——-+ | Variable_name | Value | +———————–+——-+ | innodb_file_per_table | ON | +———————–+——-+2b. If OFF, add the following to the [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf, restart, and alter each existing table to move it to its own tablespace: innodb_file_per_table=ONGet list of available InnoDB tables: mysql>select table_schema, table_name, engine from information_schema.tables where engine=’innodb’ and table_schema not in (‘information_schema’);Run ALTER … ENGINE=INNODB on each above InnoDB tables: mysql><strong>ALTER</strong> TABLE [TABLE_SCHEMA].[TABLE_NAME] ENGINE=INNODB; Next, I walked through some testing.1. Create some data…. [root@localhost ~]# mysqlslap –concurrency=50 –number-int-cols=2 –number-char-cols=3 –auto-generate-sql –auto-generate-sql-write-number=10000 –no-drop2. Observe the mysqlslap.t1 table is not automatically encrypted. Unlike MariaDB’s implementation, there is not an option to encrypt tables by default.2a. Via the mysql client:… mysql> SELECT TABLE_SCHEMA, TABLE_NAME, CREATE_OPTIONS FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE CREATE_OPTIONS LIKE ‘%ENCRYPTION=”Y”%’; Empty set (0.05 sec)2b. Via the command line:(Install xxd if required.)… [root@localhost ~]# yum install vim-common… [root@localhost ~]# xxd /var/lib/mysql/mysqlslap/t1.ibd | grep -v “0000 0000″ | less … 0010dc0: 5967 4b30 7530 7942 4266 664e 6666 3143 YgK0u0yBBffNff1C 0010dd0: 5175 6470 3332 536e 7647 5761 3654 6365 Qudp32SnvGWa6Tce 0010de0: 3977 6576 7053 3730 3765 4665 4838 7162 9wevpS707eFeH8qb 0010df0: 3253 5078 4d6c 6439 3137 6a7a 634a 5465 2SPxMld917jzcJTe …3.

Data is not encrypted in the redo log, undo log, or binary log.”ConclusionsI found in my testing of MariaDB’s implementation of data encryption at rest that there were still places on the file system that a bad actor could view sensitive data. I’ve found the same in this test of Oracle’s implementation. Both leave data exposed in log files surrounding the tablespace files.BonusAs a bonus to this walkthrough, during this testing, the table definition caught my eye:… mysql> show create table mysqlslap.t1\G *************************** 1. row *************************** Table: t1 Create Table: CREATE TABLE `t1` ( `intcol1` int(32) DEFAULT NULL, `intcol2` int(32) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol1` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol2` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol3` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 ENCRYPTION=’Y’ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)As discussed in http://ift.tt/1QnLtVn, the MariaDB implementation does not include the “encrypted=yes” information in the table definition when tables are implicitly encrypted.I was curious what would happen if I did a mysqldump of this encrypted table and attempted to restore it to a nonencrypted server. DBAs expect mysqldump to create a portable file to recreate the table definition and data on a different version of mysql. During upgrades, for example, you might expect to use this for rollback.Here is my test. I first did the dump and looked inside the file…. [root@localhost ~]# mysqldump mysqlslap t1 > mysqlslap_t1_dump [root@localhost ~]# less mysqlslap_t1_dump … CREATE TABLE `t1` ( `intcol1` int(32) DEFAULT NULL, `intcol2` int(32) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol1` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol2` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL, `charcol3` varchar(128) DEFAULT NULL ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 ENCRYPTION=’Y’; <strong>INSERT</strong> INTO `t1` VALUES ( … ,(1,2,’private’,’sensitive’,’data’);As expected, that definition makes the dump less portable. The restore from dump is not completed and throws an error (this is not remedied by using –force):On a slightly older 5.7 version:… mysql> select version(); +———–+ | version() | +———–+ | 5.7.8-rc | +———–+ [root@centosmysql57 ~]# mysql mysqlslap < mysqlslap_t1_dump ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 25: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ENCRYPTION=’Y” at line 7On a different fork:… MariaDB [(none)]> select version(); +—————–+ | version() | +—————–+ | 10.1.12-MariaDB | +—————–+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) [root@maria101 ~]# mysql mysqlslap < mysqlslap_t1_dump ERROR 1911 (HY000) at line 25: Unknown option ‘ENCRYPTION’This doesn’t have anything to do with the encrypted state of the data in the table, just the table definition. I do like the encryption showing up in the table definition, for better visibility of encryption. Maybe the fix is to have mysqldump strip this when writing to the dump file.
