Improvements and bug fixes introduced by Oracle for MySQL 8.0.30 and included in Percona Server for MySQL include:
- Supports Generated Invisible Primary Keys(GIPK). This feature automatically adds a primary key to InnoDB tables without a primary key. The generated key is always named
my_row_id. The GIPK feature is not enabled by default. Enable the feature by settingsql_generate_invisible_primary_keyto ON. - The InnoDB_doublewrite system has two new settings:
DETECT_ONLY. This setting allows only metadata to be written to the doublewrite buffer. Database page content is not written to the buffer. Recovery does not use the buffer to fix incomplete page writes. Use this setting only when you need to detect incomplete page writes.
