Install Percona Server for MySQL from Percona apt repository

Note

Percona Server for MySQL 8.0 comes with the TokuDB storage engine and MyRocks storage engine. These storage engines are installed as plugins.

Starting with Percona Server for MySQL 8.0.28-19 (2022-05-12), the TokuDB storage engine is no longer supported. We have removed the storage engine from the installation packages and disabled the storage engine in our binary builds. For more information, see TokuDB Introduction.

For information on how to install and configure TokuDB, refer to the TokuDB Installation guide.

For information on how to install and configure MyRocks, refer to the Percona MyRocks Installation Guide.

Percona Server for MySQL contains several useful User Defined Functions (UDF) from Percona Toolkit. After the installation completes, run the following commands to create these functions:

mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION fnv1a_64 RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libfnv1a_udf.so'"
mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION fnv_64 RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libfnv_udf.so'"
mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION murmur_hash RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libmurmur_udf.so'"

For more details on the UDFs, see Percona Toolkit UDFS.

Percona apt Testing repository

Percona offers pre-release builds from the testing repository. To enable it, run percona-release with the testing argument. Run this command as root or by using the sudo command.

$ sudo percona-release enable ps80 testing
