Several implementations of sharding and partitioning in MySQL.
Some implementation forms of MySQL sharding and partitioning include:
- Vertical sharding: distributing tables in a database across multiple databases based on business functionality so that each database contains only a portion of the tables. This can improve concurrency performance by spreading different tables across different databases according to business requirements.
- Horizontal partitioning: It means distributing tables from a database to different databases based on a certain rule for data rows, with each database containing only a portion of the data. This can be achieved by dispersing data rows to different databases based on a rule such as ID range or hash value, thereby achieving distributed storage of data.
- Partition table: dividing a large table into multiple smaller tables based on a certain criteria, with each smaller table containing only a portion of the data. This can help enhance query performance and management efficiency by organizing data into different partitions based on a specific field, such as date or region.
- Master-slave replication: The original database acts as the master database, and data is copied to multiple slave databases to achieve read-write separation. The master database is responsible for write operations, while the slave databases are responsible for read operations, which can improve the database’s performance for both reading and writing.
- Distributed database: Data is separated and allocated across multiple independent database nodes, with each node responsible for storing and querying a portion of the data. By using sharding techniques to distribute data among different nodes, the database’s ability to scale horizontally is enhanced.
