-`gh-ost` has been updated to work with Azure Database for MySQL however due to GitHub does not use it, this documentation is community driven so if you find a bug please [open an issue][new_issue]!

-# Azure Database for MySQL
-
-## Limitations
-
- `gh-ost` runs should be setup use [`--assume-rbr`][assume_rbr_docs] and use `binlog_row_image=FULL`.
- Azure Database for MySQL does not use same user name suffix for master and replica, so master host, user and password need to be pointed out. 
-
-## Step
-1. Change the replica server's `binlog_row_image` from `MINIMAL` to `FULL`. See [guide](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/howto-server-parameters) on Azure document.
-2. Use your `gh-ost` always with additional 5 parameter
-```{bash}
-gh-ost \
--azure \
--assume-master-host=master-server-dns-name \
--master-user="master-user-name" \
--master-password="master-password" \

-### attempt-instant-ddl
-
-MySQL 8.0 supports "instant DDL" for some operations. If an alter statement can be completed with instant DDL, only a metadata change is required internally. Instant operations include:
-
- Adding a column
- Dropping a column
- Dropping an index
- Extending a varchar column
- Adding a virtual generated column
-
-It is not reliable to parse the `ALTER` statement to determine if it is instant or not. This is because the table might be in an older row format, or have some other incompatibility that is difficult to identify.
-
-`--attempt-instant-ddl` is disabled by default, but the risks of enabling it are relatively minor: `gh-ost` may need to acquire a metadata lock at the start of the operation. This is not a problem for most scenarios, but it could be a problem for users that start the DDL during a period with long running transactions.
-
-`gh-ost` will automatically fallback to the normal DDL process if the attempt to use instant DDL is unsuccessful.

+A `gh-ost` execution need to copy whatever rows you have in your existing table onto the ghost table. This can, and often be, a large number. Exactly what that number is?
 `gh-ost` initially estimates the number of rows in your table by issuing an `explain select * from your_table`. This will use statistics on your table and return with a rough estimate. How rough? It might go as low as half or as high as double the actual number of rows in your table. This is the same method as used in [`pt-online-schema-change`](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-toolkit/2.2/pt-online-schema-change.html).

 ### skip-foreign-key-checks

 ### Requirements

- `gh-ost` currently requires MySQL versions 5.7 and greater.
-
 - You will need to have one server serving Row Based Replication (RBR) format binary logs. Right now `FULL` row image is supported. `MINIMAL` to be supported in the near future. `gh-ost` prefers to work with replicas. You may [still have your master configured with Statement Based Replication](migrating-with-sbr.md) (SBR).

 - If you are using a replica, the table must have an identical schema between the master and replica.

 - Switching your `binlog_format` to `ROW`, in the case where it is _not_ `ROW` and you explicitly specified `--switch-to-rbr`
  - If your replication is already in RBR (`binlog_format=ROW`) you can specify `--assume-rbr` to avoid the `STOP SLAVE/START SLAVE` operations, hence no need for `SUPER`.

- `gh-ost` uses the `REPEATABLE_READ` transaction isolation level for all MySQL connections, regardless of the server default.
-
 - Running `--test-on-replica`: before the cut-over phase, `gh-ost` stops replication so that you can compare the two tables and satisfy that the migration is sound.

 The applying of the binlog events is what requires the shared unique key. For example, an `UPDATE` statement to `tbl` translates to a `REPLACE` statement which `gh-ost` applies to `_tbl_gho`. A `REPLACE` statement expects to insert or replace an existing row based on its row's values and the table's unique key constraints. In particular, if inserting that row would result in a unique key violation (e.g., a row with that primary key already exists), it would _replace_ that existing row with the new values.

 Throttling time is limited by the availability of the binary logs. When throttling begins, `gh-ost` suspends reading the binary logs, and expects to resume reading from same binary log where it paused.

-Your availability of binary logs is typically determined by the [expire_logs_days](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/replication-options-binary-log.html#sysvar_expire_logs_days) variable. If you have `expire_logs_days = 10` (or check `select @@global.expire_logs_days`), then you should be able to throttle for up to `10` days.
+Your availability of binary logs is typically determined by the [expire_logs_days](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_expire_logs_days) variable. If you have `expire_logs_days = 10` (or check `select @@global.expire_logs_days`), then you should be able to throttle for up to `10` days.

 Having said that, throttling for so long is far fetching, in that the `gh-ost` process itself must be kept alive during that time; and the amount of binary logs to process once it resumes will potentially take days to replay.

 When `gh-ost` pauses (throttles), it issues no writes on the ghost table. Because there are no triggers, write workload is decoupled from the `gh-ost` write workload. And because we're using an asynchronous approach, the algorithm already handles a time difference between a master write time and the ghost apply time. A difference of a few microseconds is no different from a difference of minutes or hours.

-When `gh-ost` [throttles](throttle.md), either by replication lag, `max-load` setting or an explicit [interactive user command](interactive-commands.md), the master is back to normal. It sees no more writes on the ghost table.

 An exception is the ongoing heartbeat writes onto the changelog table, which we consider to be negligible.

 Use of triggers simplifies a lot of the flow in doing a live table migration, but also poses some limitations or difficulties. Here are reasons why we choose to [design a triggerless solution](triggerless-design.md) to schema migrations.

-Detail description of the lost data in mysql two-phase commit issue by @Fanduzi:
-	When using semi-sync and setting rpl_semi_sync_master_wait_point=AFTER_SYNC,
-	if an INSERT statement is being committed but blocks due to an unmet ack count,
-	the data inserted by the transaction is not visible to ReadMigrationRangeValues,
-	so the copy of the existing data in the table does not include the new row inserted by the transaction.
-	However, the binlog event for the transaction is already written to the binlog,
-	so the addDMLEventsListener only captures the binlog event after the transaction,
-	and thus the transaction's binlog event is not captured, resulting in data loss.
-
-	If write a changelog into ghc table before ReadMigrationRangeValues, and the transaction commit blocks
-	because the ack is not met, then the changelog will not be able to write, so the ReadMigrationRangeValues
-	will not be run. When the changelog writes successfully, the ReadMigrationRangeValues will read the
-	newly inserted data, thus Avoiding data loss due to the above problem.
