AI summaries threaten organic traffic in search results. Mike Walrath, CEO of Yext, explains why brands should focus on maintaining awareness rather than traffic metrics. He advocates for making structured data widely available to AI systems, enabling direct customer connections without traditional website visits. Walrath suggests measuring success through conversions rather than traffic volume, as efficient customer acquisition without clicks can be more valuable. how NotesConnect With: Michael Walrath: Website // LinkedInThe Voices of Search Podcast: Email // LinkedIn // TwitterBenjamin Shapiro: Website // LinkedIn // TwitterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A common problem in our homes, especially in the cooler areas of Aotearoa: gazillions of flies settling into your spare room, on the ceiling of a quiet place, or in the roof cavity. The flies arrive at your place in autumn and find a good spot to hibernate – just like they do in their countries of origin: Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, the UK, the USA, and Canada. Pollenia pediculata is the cluster fly species we discovered on the North Shore for the first time in 1984. It may have arrived in some containerised luggage or cargo (we were not sure when we found it), it's now well-spread, often in the cooler spots of our country. It is quite a gorgeous fly species, with golden hairs on its back – easy to spot as it often sits quietly. Flies have just one pair of wings whereas other insect orders usually have two pairs of wings in the adult stage. The second pair of wings is turned into small “halteres”: modified hind wings that provides stability when in flight. Flies are real acrobats: they can fly up-side-down onto the ceiling Our cluster fly lives a peculiar life as a parasite of earthworms. The female fly lays eggs in dense grass habitats (paddocks and lawns) and often near or in earthworm tunnels. The larvae (aka "maggots") hatch, find themselves some way of getting into the soil (gaps around plants or through established earthworm tunnels) and gain entry into the body of an earthworm. Inside the worm it feeds on the internal body fluids and organs. Gross? Yep! But these flies do minimal damage to earthworm population densities. Most animals on the planet have "parasites" that can cause damage (humans have parasites too). In spring and summer, I often see them pollinating flowers (the name “Pollenia” is a nice indicator!). When temperatures get cooler in autumn, the cluster flies usually look for a suitable hibernation place: holes in the ground, under bark of trees, under mulch layers, etc. But if there's a nice warm human house nearby, they will try to gain entry – by the thousands! They crawl through small holes (ill-fitting window frames, etc) and mark their entry by leaving a residue of pheromone scent – this means that other Pollenia flies simply follow the trail and join the others. The pheromone is rather sticky and smells somewhat of Buckwheat honey (hence the name buckwheat fly in the USA). Cluster flies are not of medicinal importance (like some blowflies) but are hard to remove due to their messy pheromones. Best “prevention” is to ensure there are no entrance holes around the home. A very residual aerosol can (available from SafeWorx – safety company) sprayed at the flies' entry and exit holes, will stop them from getting inside.

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me today is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hey everyone! In our last two episodes, we spoke about MySQL backups, exploring their critical role in data recovery, error correction, data migration, and more. Lois: Today, we're switching gears to talk about monitoring MySQL instances. We'll also explore the features and benefits of HeatWave with Perside Foster, a MySQL Principal Solution Engineer at Oracle. 01:02 Nikita: Hi, Perside! We're thrilled to have you here for one last time this season. So, let's start by discussing the importance of monitoring systems in general, especially when it comes to MySQL. Perside: Database administrators face a lot of challenges, and these sometimes appear in the form of questions that a DBA must answer. One of the most basic question is, why is the database slow? To address this, the next step is to determine which queries are taking the longest. Queries that take a long time might be because they are not correctly indexed. Then we get to some environmental queries or questions. How can we find out if our replicas are out of date? If lag is too much of a problem? Can I restore my last backup? Is the database storage likely to fill up any time soon? Can and should we consider adding more servers and scaling out the system? And when it comes to users and making sure they're behaving correctly, has the database structure changed? And if so, who did it and what did they do? And more generally, what security issues have arisen? How can I see what has happened and how can I fix it? Performance is always at the top of the list of things a DBA worries about. The underlying hardware will always be a factor but is one of the things a DBA has the least flexibility with changing over the short time. The database structure, choice of data types and the overall size of retained data in the active data set can be a problem. 03:01 Nikita: What are some common performance issues that database administrators encounter? Perside: The sort of SQL queries that the application runs can be an issue. 90% of performance problems come from the SQL index and schema group.  03:18 Lois: Perside, can you give us a checklist of the things we should monitor? Perside: Make sure your system is working. Monitor performance continually. Make sure replication is working. Check your backup. Keep an eye on disk space and how it grows over time. Check when long running queries block your application and identify those queries. Protect your database structure from unauthorized changes. Make sure the operating system itself is working fine and check that nothing unusual happened at that level. Keep aware of security vulnerabilities in your software and operating system and ensure that they are kept updated. Verify that your database memory usage is under control. 04:14 Lois: That's a great list, Perside. Thanks for that. Now, what tools can we use to effectively monitor MySQL?     Perside: The slow query log is a simple way to monitor long running queries. Two variables control the log queries. Long_query_time. If a query takes longer than this many seconds, it gets logged. And then there's min_exam_row_limit. If a query looks at more than this many rows, it gets logged. The slow query log doesn't ordinarily record administrative statements or queries that don't use indexes. Two variables control this, log_slow_admin_statements and log_queries_not_using_indexes. Once you have found a query that takes a long time to run, you can focus on optimizing the application, either by limiting this type of query or by optimizing it in some way. 05:23 Nikita: Perside, what tools can help us optimize slow queries and manage data more efficiently? Perside: To help you with processing the slow query log file, you can use the MySQL dump slow command to summarize slow queries. Another important monitoring feature of MySQL is the performance schema. It's a system database that provides statistics of how MySQL executes at a low level. Unlike user databases, performance schema does not persist data to disk. It uses its own storage engine that is flushed every time we start MySQL. And it has almost no interaction with the storage media, making it very fast. This performance information belongs only to the specific instance, so it's not replicated to other systems. Also, performance schema does not grow infinitely large. Instead, each row is recorded in a fixed size ring buffer. This means that when it's full, it starts again at the beginning. The SYS schema is another system database that's strongly related to performance schema. 06:49 Nikita: And how can the SYS schema enhance our monitoring efforts in MySQL? Perside: It contains helper objects like views and stored procedures. They help simplify common monitoring tasks and can help monitor server health and diagnose performance issues. Some of the views provide insights into I/O hotspots, blocking and locking issues, statements that use a lot of resources in various statistics on your busiest tables and indexes. 07:26 Lois: Ok… can you tell us about some of the features within the broader Oracle ecosystem that enhance our ability to monitor MySQL? Perside: As an Oracle customer, you also have access to Oracle Enterprise Manager. This tool supports a huge range of Oracle products. And for MySQL, it's used to monitor performance, system availability, your replication topology, InnoDB performance characteristics and locking, bad queries caught by the MySQL Enterprise firewall, and events that are raised by the MySQL Enterprise audit. 08:08 Nikita: What would you say are some of the standout features of Oracle Enterprise Manager? Perside: When you use MySQL in OCI, you have access to some really powerful features. HeatWave MySQL enables continuous monitoring of query statistics and performance. The health monitor is part of the MySQL server and gathers raw data about the performance of queries. You can see summaries of this information in the Performance Hub in the OCI Console. For example, you can see average statement latency or top 100 statements executed. MySQL metrics lets you drill in with your own custom monitoring queries. This works well with existing OCI features that you might already know. The observability and management framework lets you filter by resource type and across several dimensions. And you can configure OCI alarms to be notified when some condition is reached. 09:20 Lois: Perside, could you tell us more about MySQL metrics? Perside: MySQL metrics uses the raw performance data gathered by the health monitor to measure the important characteristic of your servers. This includes CPU and storage usage and information relevant to your database connection and queries executed. With MySQL metrics, you can create your own custom monitoring queries that you can use to feed graphics. This gives you an up to the minute representation of all the performance characteristics that you're interested in. You can also create alarms that trigger on some performance condition. And you can be notified through the OCI alarms framework so that you can be aware instantly when you need to deal with some issue.  10:22 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back! Each quarter, Oracle rolls out game-changing updates to its Fusion Cloud Applications. And to make sure you're always in the know, we offer New Features courses that give you an insider's look at all of the latest advancements. Don't miss out! Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started. 10:47 Nikita: Welcome back! Now, let's dive into the key features of HeatWave, the cloud service that integrates with MySQL. Can you tell us what HeatWave is all about? Perside: HeatWave is the cloud service for MySQL. MySQL is the world's leading database for web applications. And with HeatWave, you can run your online transaction processing or OLTP apps in the cloud. This gives you all the benefits of cloud deployments while keeping your MySQL-based web application running just like they would on your own premises. As well as OLTP applications, you need to run reports with Business Intelligence and Analytics Dashboards or Online Analytical Processing, or OLAP reports. The HeatWave cluster provides accelerated analytics queries without requiring extraction or transformation to a separate reporting system. This is achieved with an in-memory analytics accelerator, which is part of the HeatWave service. In addition, HeatWave enables you to create Machine Learning models to embed artificial intelligence right there in the database. The ML accelerator performs classification, regression, time-series forecasting, anomaly detection, and other functions provided by the various models that you can embed in your architecture. HeatWave can also work directly with storage outside the database. With HeatWave Lakehouse, you can run queries directly on data stored in object storage in a variety of formats without needing to import that data into your MySQL database. 12:50 Lois: With all of these exciting features in HeatWave, Perside, what core MySQL benefits can users continue to enjoy? Perside: The reason why you chose MySQL in the first place, it's still a relational database and with full transactional support, low latency, and high throughput for your online transaction processing app. It has encryption, compression, and high availability clustering. It also has the same large database support with up to 256 terabytes support. It has advanced security features, including authentication, data masking, and database firewall. But because it's part of the cloud service, it comes with automated patching, upgrades, and backup. And it is fully supported by the MySQL team. 13:50 Nikita: Ok… let's get back to what the HeatWave service entails. Perside: The HeatWave service is a fully managed MySQL. Through the web-based console, you can deploy your instances and manage backups, enable high availability, resize your instances, create read replicas, and perform many common administration tasks without writing a single line of SQL. It brings with it the power of OCI and MySQL Enterprise Edition. As a managed service, many routine DBA tests are automated. This includes keeping the instances up to date with the latest version and patches. You can run analytics queries right there in the database without needing to extract and transform your databases, or load them in another dedicated analytics system. 14:52 Nikita: Can you share some common use cases for HeatWave? Perside: You have your typical OLTP workloads, just like you'd run on prem, but with the benefit of being managed in the cloud. Analytic queries are accelerated by HeatWave. So your reporting applications and dashboards are way faster. You can run both OLTP and analytics workloads from the same database, keeping your reports up to date without needing a separate reporting infrastructure. 15:25 Lois: I've heard a lot about HeatWave AutoML. Can you explain what that is? Perside: HeatWave AutoML enables in-database artificial intelligence and Machine Learning. Externally sourced data stores, such as sensor data exported to CSV, can be read directly from object store. And HeatWave generative AI enables chatbots and LLM content creation. 15:57 Lois: Perside, tell us about some of the key features and benefits of HeatWave. Perside: Autopilot is a suite of AI-powered tools to improve the performance and applicability of your HeatWave queries. Autopilot includes two features that help cut costs when you provision your service. There's auto provisioning and auto shape prediction. They analyze your existing use case and tell you exactly which shape you must provision for your nodes and how many nodes you need. Auto parallel loading is used when you import data into HeatWave. It splits the import automatically into an optimum number of parallel streams to speed up your import. And then there's auto data placement. It distributes your data across the HeatWave cluster node to improve your query retrieval performance. Auto encoding chooses the correct data storage type for your string data, cutting down storage and retrieval time. Auto error recovery automatically recovers a fail node and reloads data if that node becomes unresponsive. Auto scheduling prioritizes incoming queries intelligently. An auto change propagation brings data optimally from your DB system to the acceleration cluster. And then there's auto query time estimation and auto query plan improvement. They learn from your workload. They use those statistics to perform on node adaptive optimization. This optimization allows each query portion to be executed on every local node based on that node's actual data distribution at runtime. Finally, there's auto thread pooling. It adjusts the enterprise thread pool configuration to maximize concurrent throughput. It is workload-aware, and minimizes resource contention, which can be caused by too many waiting transactions. 18:24 Lois: How does HeatWave simplify analytics within MySQL and with external data sources? Perside: HeatWave in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure provides all the features you need for analytics, all in one system. Your classic OLTP application run on the MySQL database that you know and love, provision in a DB system. On-line analytical processing is done right there in the database without needing to extract and load it to another analytic system. With HeatWave Lakehouse, you can even run your analytics queries against external data stores without loading them to your DB system. And you can run your machine learning models and LLMs in the same HeatWave service using HeatWave AutoML and generative AI. HeatWave is not just available in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. If you're tied to another cloud vendor, such as AWS or Azure, you can use HeatWave from your applications in those cloud too, and at a great price. 19:43 Nikita: That's awesome!

In this episode of Create Like The Greats, Ross Simmonds dives deep into the common mistakes that SaaS companies are making with their Google Ads strategies. Despite advancements in marketing and AI tools, many businesses are still falling into the same traps they did years ago. If you're struggling to make your paid search campaigns profitable, this episode will help you identify missteps and optimize your approach for better ROI. Episode Breakdown & Key Takeaways Why SaaS Companies Struggle with Google Ads Many SaaS businesses fail to drive ROI from paid search. The solution? Optimize your campaigns by improving efficiency in clicks, conversions, and lower costs. Common Mistake #1: Sending Traffic to the Homepage Why it's a bad idea: Homepages serve too many purposes and introduce distractions. Solution: Create dedicated landing pages aligned with specific user intent. Actionable tip: Remove navigation menus and unnecessary links to keep visitors focused. Common Mistake #2: Poor Above-the-Fold Experience 90% of visitors won't scroll past the first screen—so you need to make an instant impact. Essential components for above-the-fold success: Clear and compelling headline that connects with intent. Highlight a unique value proposition. Call-to-action (CTA) should be immediate and obvious (e.g., “Start Your Free Trial”). Social proof: Use testimonials or logos from recognizable brands. Common Mistake #3: Inefficient Bidding Strategies Ross recommends manual CPC bidding when starting. Test target CPA bidding only after gathering sufficient data. Be prepared to adjust bidding strategies based on real-time performance insights. Common Mistake #4: Running Ads on Low-Intent Keywords Stop wasting money on broad, irrelevant search terms like “sales tips” or “HR advice.” Focus on high-intent keywords, such as: Brand alternatives – Users searching for "Zoom alternatives" or "Slack alternatives" are actively looking for a switch. Solution-focused keywords – Category-driven searches like "best CRM software" indicate potential buyers. Problem-focused keywords – Queries that reveal pain points (e.g., “how to improve sales conversion rates”). Common Mistake #5: Not Using Advanced Audience Targeting Target smarter: Avoid blanket targeting by narrowing ads to key demographics. Enterprise SaaS should avoid targeting younger age groups (e.g., 16-20) as they are unlikely to be decision-makers. Use the "observation" setting first to track audience performance before shifting to specific targeting settings. Common Mistake #6: Weak Ad Copy That Fails to Convert Ross's winning copywriting framework for Google Ads: Headline 1: Match the exact search term (e.g., “Best CRM Software"). Headline 2: State a unique value prop (e.g., “User-friendly design for teams"). CTA Headline: Create urgency (e.g., “Boost revenue—Start your free trial!”). Description: Include social proof (e.g., "Trusted by 10,000+ businesses worldwide"). Leverage customer reviews from G2, TrustRadius, or Capterra for copy inspiration. Final Thoughts & Recap Google Ads can be a goldmine if done right—avoid common pitfalls and optimize for success. Focus on landing page relevance, audience targeting, and high-intent keywords for best results. Adjust campaigns based on performance metrics—don't "set and forget." —

Picking up from Part 1, hosts Lois Houston and Nikita Abraham continue their deep dive into MySQL security with MySQL Solution Engineer Ravish Patel. In this episode, they focus on user authentication techniques and tools such as MySQL Enterprise Audit and MySQL Enterprise Firewall.   MySQL 8.4 Essentials: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/mysql-84-essentials/141332/226362 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   --------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript:   00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative  podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs. Lois: Hi everyone! Last week, we began exploring MySQL security, covering regulatory compliance and common security threats.  Nikita: This week, we're continuing the conversation by digging deeper into MySQL's user authentication methods and taking a closer look at some powerful security tools in the MySQL Enterprise suite. 00:57 Lois: And we're joined once again by Ravish Patel, a MySQL Solution Engineer here at Oracle. Welcome, Ravish! How does user authentication work in MySQL? Ravish: MySQL authenticates users by storing account details in a system database. These accounts are authenticated with three elements, username and hostname commonly separated with an @ sign along with a password.  The account identifier has the username and host. The host identifier specifies where the user connects from. It specifies either a DNS hostname or an IP address. You can use a wild card as part of the hostname or IP address if you want to allow this username to connect from a range of hosts. If the host value is just the percent sign wildcard, then that username can connect from any host. Similarly, if you create the user account with an empty host, then the user can connect from any host.  01:55 Lois: Ravish, can MySQL Enterprise Edition integrate with an organization's existing accounts?  Ravish: MySQL Enterprise authentication integrates with existing authentication mechanisms in your infrastructure. This enables centralized account management, policies, and authentication based on group membership and assigned corporate roles, and MySQL supports a wide range of authentication plugins. If your organization uses Linux, you might already be familiar with PAM, also known as Pluggable Authentication Module. This is a standard interface in Linux and can be used to authenticate to MySQL. Kerberos is another widely used standard for granting authorization using a centralized service. The FIDO Alliance, short for Fast Identify Online, promotes an interface for passwordless authentication. This includes methods for authenticating with biometrics RUSB security tokens. And MySQL even supports logging into centralized authentication services that use LDAP, including having a dedicated plugin to connect to Windows domains. 03:05 Nikita: So, once users are authenticated, how does MySQL handle user authorization? Ravish: The MySQL privilege system uses the GRANT keyword. This grants some privilege X on some object Y to some user Z, and optionally gives you permission to grant the same privilege to others. These can be global administrative privileges that enable users to perform tasks at the server level, or they can be database-specific privileges that allow users to modify the structure or data within a database. 03:39 Lois: What about database privileges? Ravish: Database privileges can be fine-grained from the largest to the smallest. At the database level, you can permit users to create, alter, and delete whole databases. The same privileges apply at the table, view, index, and stored procedure levels. And in addition, you can control who can execute stored procedures and whether they do so with their own identity or with the privileges of the procedure's owner. For tables, you can control who can select, insert, update, and delete rows in those tables. You can even specify the column level, who can select, insert, and update data in those columns. Now, any privileged system carries with it the risk that you might forget an important password and lock yourself out. In MySQL, if you forget the password to the root account and don't have any other admin-level accounts, you will not be able to administer the MySQL server. 04:39 Nikita: Is there a way around this? Ravish: There is a way around this as long as you have physical access to the server that runs the MySQL process. If you launch the MySQL process with the --skip grant tables option, then MySQL will not load the privilege tables from the system database when it starts. This is clearly a dangerous thing to do, so MySQL also implicitly disables network access when you use that option to prevent users from connecting over the network. When you use this option, any client connection to MySQL succeeds and has root privileges. This means you should control who has shell access to the server during this time and you should restart the server or enable privileged system with the command flush privileges as soon as you have changed the root password. The privileges we have already discussed are built into MySQL and are always available. MySQL also makes use of dynamic privileges, which are privileges that are enabled at runtime and which can be granted once they are enabled.  In addition, plugins and components can define privileges that relate to features of those plugins. For example, the enterprise firewall plugin defines the firewall admin privilege and the audit admin privilege is defined by the enterprise audit plugin.  06:04 Are you working towards an Oracle Certification this year?

Could you start with MySQL Enterprise Audit? Ravish: MySQL Enterprise Audit is an extension available in Enterprise Edition that makes it easier to comply with regulations that require observability and control over who does what in your database servers. It provides visibility of connections, authentication, and individual operations. This is a necessary part of compliance with various regulations, including GDPR, NIS2, HIPAA, and so on. You can control who has access to the audited events so that the audits themselves are protected. As well as configuring what you audit, you can also configure rotation policies so that unmonitored audit logs don't fill up your storage space. The configuration can be performed while the server is running with minimal effect on production applications. You don't need to restart the server to enable or disable auditing or to change the filtering options. You can output the audit logs in either XML or JSON format, depending on how you want to perform further searching and processing. If you need it, you can compress the logs to save space and you can encrypt the logs to provide address protection of audited identities and data modifications. The extension is available either as a component or if you prefer, as the legacy plugin. 07:53 Lois: But how does it all work? Ravish: Well, first, as a DBA, you'll enable the audit plugin and attach it to your running server. You can then configure filters to audit your connections and queries and record who does what, when they do it, and so on. Then once the system is up and running, it audits whenever a user authenticates, accesses data, or even when they perform schema changes. The logs are recorded in whatever format that you have configured. You can then monitor the audited events at will with MySQL tools such as Workbench or with any software that can view and manipulate XML or JSON files. You can even configure Enterprise Audit to export the logs to an external Audit Vault, enabling collection, and archiving of audit information from all over your enterprise. In general, you won't audit every action on every server. You can configure filters to control what specific information ends up in the logs. 08:50 Nikita: Why is this sort of filtering necessary, Ravish? Ravish: As a DBA, this enables you to create a custom designed audit process to monitor things that you're really interested in. Rules can be general or very fine grained, which enables you to reduce the overall log size, reduces the performance impact on the database server and underlying storage, makes it easier to process the log file once you've gathered data, and filters are configured with the easily used JSON file format. 09:18 Nikita: So what information is audited? Ravish: You can see who did what, when they did it, what commands they use, and whether they succeeded. You can also see where they connected from, which can be useful when identifying man in the middle attacks or stolen credentials. The log also records any available client information, including software versions and information about the operating system and much more. 09:42 Lois: Can you tell us about MySQL Enterprise Firewall, which I understand is a specific tool to learn and protect the SQL statements that MySQL executes? Ravish: MySQL Enterprise Firewall can be enabled on MySQL Enterprise Edition with a plugin. It uses an allow list to set policies for acceptable queries. You can apply this allow list to either specific accounts or groups. Queries are protected in real time. Every query that executes is verified per server and checked to make sure that it conforms to query structures that are defined in the allow list. This makes it very useful to block SQL injection attacks. Only transactions that match well-formed queries in the allow list are permitted. So any attempt to inject other types of SQL statements are blocked. Not only does it block such statements, but it also sends an alert to the MySQL error log in real time. This gives you visibility on any security gaps in your applications. The Enterprise Firewall has a learning mode during which you can train the firewall to identify the correct sort of query. This makes it easy to create the allow list based on a known good workload that you can create during development before your application goes live. 10:59 Lois: Does MySQL Enterprise Firewall operate seamlessly and transparently with applications? Ravish: Your application simply submits queries as normal and the firewall monitors incoming queries with no application changes required. When you use the Enterprise Firewall, you don't need to change your application. It can submit statements as normal to the MySQL server. This adds an extra layer of protection in your applications without requiring any additional application code so that you can protect against malicious SQL injection attacks. This not only applies to your application, but also to any client that configured user runs. 11:37 Nikita: How does this firewall system work?  Ravish: When the application submits a SQL statement, the firewall verifies that the statement is in a form that matches the policy defined in the allow list before it passes to the server for execution.  It blocks any statement that is in a form that's outside of policy.  In many cases, a badly formed query can only be executed if there is some bug in the application's data validation. You can use the firewall's detection and alerting features to let when it blocks such a query, which will help you quickly detect such bugs, even when the firewall continues to block the malicious queries. 12:14 Lois: Can you take us through some of the encryption and masking features available in MySQL Enterprise Edition?  Ravish: Transparent data encryption is a great way to protect against physical security disclosure. If someone gains access to the database files on the file system through a vulnerability of the operating system, or even if you've had a laptop stolen, your data will still be protected. This is called Data at Rest Encryption. It protects not only the data rows in tablespaces, but also other locations that store some version of the data, such as undo logs, redo logs, binary logs and relay logs. It is a strong encryption using the AES 256 algorithm. Once we enable transparent data encryption, it is, of course, transparent to the client software, applications, and users. Applications continue to submit SQL statements, and the encryption and decryptions happen in flight. The application code does not need to change. All data types, table structure, and database names remain the same. It's even transparent to the DBAs. The same data types, table structure, and so on is still how the DBA interacts with the system while creating indexes, views, and procedures. In fact, DBAs don't even need to be in possession of any encryption keys to perform their admin tasks. It is entirely transparent. 13:32 Nikita: What kind of management is required for encryption? Ravish: There is, of course, some key management required at the outside. You must keep the keys safe and put policies in place so that you store and rotate keys effectively, and ensure that you can recover those keys in the event of some disaster. This key management integrates with common standards, including KMIP and KMS. 13:53 Lois: Before we close, I want to ask you about the role of data masking in MySQL. Ravish: Data masking is when we replace some part of the private information with a placeholder. You can mask portions of a string based on the string position using the letter X or some other character. You can also create a table that contains a dictionary of suitable replacement words and use that dictionary to mask values in your data. There are specific functions that work with known formats of data, for example, social security numbers as used in the United States, national insurance numbers from the United Kingdom, and Canadian social insurance numbers. You can also mask various account numbers, such as primary account numbers like credit cards or IBAN numbers as used in the European Bank system. There are also functions to generate random values, which can be useful in test databases. This might be a random number within some range, or an email address, or a compliant credit card number, or social security number. You can also create random information using the dictionary table that contains suitable example values. 14:58 Nikita: Thank you, Ravish, for taking us through MySQL security. We really cannot overstate the importance of this, especially in today's data-driven world.  Lois: That's right, Niki. Cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated these days. You really have to be on your toes when it comes to security. If you're interested in learning more about this, the MySQL 8.4 Essentials course on mylearn.oracle.com is a great next step.  Nikita: We'd also love to hear your thoughts on our podcast so please feel free to share your comments, suggestions, or questions by emailing us at ou-podcast_ww@oracle.com.

Both personal and entertaining, Fungal: Foraging in the Urban Forest (Wolsak & Wynn, 2024) is the highly anticipated second book of a trilogy and shows Winnipeg author Ariel Gordon at her best: interweaving the personal with the easily-overlooked local and natural and local world around her, and passing on her contagious delight for the world at—and under—our feet. In a diverse range of essays, Gordon showcases her background in biology, taking us deep into the fungal world, exploring mushrooms both edible and not, found and foraged, and the myriad ways in which mushrooms and trees make up our ecosystem and are in fact a reflection of the way we build our own personal communities and connections. This collection of essays will resonate with anyone who's ever thought, “can I eat that?” when seeing a mushroom, but also those with larger questions about our place in the natural world. More About Ariel Gordon: Ariel Gordon (she/her) is a Winnipeg/Treaty 1 territory-based writer, editor, and enthusiast. She is the ringleader of Writes of Spring, a National Poetry Month project with the Winnipeg International Writers Festival that appears in the Winnipeg Free Press.

Gordon's fourth collection of poetry, Siteseeing: Writing nature & climate across the prairies, was written in collaboration with Saskatchewan poet Brenda Schmidt and appeared in fall 2023.

This advice and query looks at how Quakers have at times felt led to break the law. For example when hiding people from the Nazis, helping people escape slavery, or peaceful demonstrations. How do we internalise oppressive laws in our own minds and what burdens do we want to "lay down" as we come to the end of 2024? This podcast is dedicated to the hope war in Gaza can end.

Where does freedom of religion end, and freedom from discrimination begin? In 2019, a Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) trustee's provocative and polarizing remarks ignited a firestorm. Michael Del Grande argued that if protections for queer and trans individuals were added to the TCDSB code of conduct, then protections should also be added for those who commit pedophilia and cannibalism. His comments sparked outrage, legal battles, and a fierce debate that continues to shape discussions on sex, gender, and inclusion in Ontario's Catholic schools. Teachers, students, parents, and politicians remain deeply divided. Who holds the power to define the future of queer and trans inclusion in education? How does the acceptance of sexual and gender diversity impact religious rights? In a new series from TVO Podcasts, co-hosts Matt Nethersole and Tiff Lam delve into the ways that human rights, sexuality, gender, religion, and politics are colliding in Ontario's Catholic schools-and beyond. In this episode, they speak to a 2SLGBTQ+ advocate fighting for change in Catholic schools, a former Ontario premier who thinks school boards can do more to comply with Ministry expectations and a historian explains the connection between Catholic schools and the birth of Canada.
