Welcome to the third installment in our series on Database Events! Part 1 outlined the difference between Database Events and Scheduled Tasks, as well as how to configure the Event Scheduler Thread in MySQL. In Part 2, we explored how to create MySQL events using the CREATE EVENT statement. Today's blog will delve deeper into how to schedule MySQL 8 Events - an essential topic that only received a cursory mention last time.
Welcome back to our series on Database Events! Part 1 outlined the difference between Database Events and Scheduled Tasks, as well as how to configure the Event Scheduler Thread in MySQL. In today's blog, we'll explore how to create MySQL events using CREATE EVENT syntax.
In the simplest terms, an event is any task that can be run according to a schedule. Many popular DBMSes include support for events. These are also known as "scheduled events" or as "temporal triggers" because events are triggered by time, as opposed to triggers, which are invoked by database operations such as table updates. Database events may be utilized for a variety of tasks such as optimizing database tables, cleaning up logs, archiving data, or to generate reports during off-peak times.
In today's blog, we'll learn how to view and activate database events. In subsequent blogs, we'll learn how to configure events for various tasks.
Part 4: The Privilege Manager tool
In this series, we've been exploring how to perform common user administration tasks using Navicat's flagship product, Navicat Premium. In the last blog, we looked at the Server Privileges, Privileges, and SQL Preview tabs of the New User Object tab.
Setting privileges for each user as we did in the last blog is not the only way to do so; the Privilege Manager offers another way to set privileges for a connection as well as its database objects. Available for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and MariaDB, the Privilege Manager will be the subject of today's blog.
Part 3: Configuring User Privileges
In this series, we've been exploring how to perform common user administration tasks using Navicat's flagship product, Navicat Premium. In Part 1, we learned how to secure the MySQL root account using the Navicat Premium User Management Tool. Part 2 focussed on setting a new user's account details, account limits, and SSL settings. In today's blog, we'll move on to the remaining tabs of the New User Object tab: namely, Server Privileges, Privileges, and SQL Preview.
