Percona XtraBackup enables MySQL backups without blocking user queries, making it ideal for companies with large data sets and mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate long periods of downtime. Offered free as an open source solution, it drives down backup costs while providing unique features for MySQL backups.

Release Highlights

The following list contains a number of the bug fixes for MySQL 8.0.27, provided by Oracle, and included in Percona Server for MySQL:

  • The default_authentication_plugin is deprecated. Support for this plugin may be removed in future versions. Use the authentication_policy variable.

  • The binary operator is deprecated. Support for this operator may be removed in future versions. Use CAST(... AS BINARY).

  • When a parent table updated or deleted a row, this operation initiated a cascading SET NULL operation on the child table. On the child table, a virtual column value could be set to NULL instead of the value derived from the base column value.
