Mysql Tutorial Development Tutorials, Guides & Insights

By default, MySQL treats connections via localhost (Unix socket) and 127.0.0.1 (TCP/IP) differently. To resolve the issue, you need to grant privileges to root for connections via 127.0.0.1.

Inside the MySQL shell, run the following command:

  sudo systemctl status mysql

This tutorial provided a step-by-step guide on resetting your MySQL root password using the DROP USER method. By dropping the existing root user and creating a new one with full privileges, you can resolve common issues related to root access and password management. Remember to always remove the skip-grant-tables option after completing the password reset to keep your MySQL server secure.

Restart the MySQL service from the Services management console.

In some cases, the error can be mitigated by optimizing the SQL queries that are causing large sorts. Here are some tips:

Composite indexes are useful when queries involve multiple columns. Use the following syntax:

CREATE INDEX index_name ON table_name(column1, column2);

This command sorts queries by time, helping you identify the slowest queries.

Several third-party tools can help monitor MySQL performance, offering additional features and integrations.
