This was an interesting chapter for any MySQL 8 user, wasn't it? In this chapter we understood how MySQL 8 manages different log files and which log file to use at what time. At the same time we also covered many of the administrative features, such as globalization, system data database, and component and plugin configuration, and explained how to run multiple instances on a single machine. The later part of the chapter covered log maintenance.
Moving on to the next chapter, we will provide you with information about storage engines, such as what the different types of storage engine are, which one to use for your application, and how to create our own custom storage engine for MySQL 8.
