XtraDB存储引擎是percona公司对于innodb存储引擎进行改进加强后的产品,第一个版本为1.0.2-1,发布于2008年底。XtraDB兼容innodb的所有特性,并且在IO性能,锁性能,内存管理等多个方面进行了增强。

下载MySQL源代码,当前最新的5.1版本为5.1.40
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#source

下载XtraDB源代码,当前最新的版本为1.0.4-8
http://launchpad.net/percona-xtradb/release-8/1.0.4-8/+download/percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8.tar.gz

解压MySQL

tar -zxvf mysql-5.1.40.tar.gz

解压XtraDB

tar -zxvf percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8.tar.gz

将MySQL原来的innodb源码删除或者重命名

cd mysql-5.1.40/storage
mv innobase innobase_bak

将XtraDB拷贝为innobase

cp -r http://www.cnblogs.com/percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8 innobase/

重新编译安装MySQL

cd ../

./configure --prefix=/home/mysql/mysql --with-extra-charsets=all
--enable-assembler --enable-profiling --enable-community-features
--with-plugins=max --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-plugins=all

make && make install

安装完成后,就可以按照普通的MySQL安装创建数据库流程执行相应操作即可。XtraDB实际上是基于innodb plugin的代码修改而来,所以以上安装过程和innodb plugin的安装一致。

这里显示的innodb其实已经是XtraDB引擎了。可以简单看一下XtraDB引擎的特性来验证,例如XtraDB在information_schema中引入了xtradb_enhancements来记录其相对于innodb的增强特性。

可以看到引入了很多新的innodb控制参数,允许用户对xtradb引擎的工作方式做更多的控制
