MySQL Heatwave combines OLTP (online transaction processing), analytics, machine learning, and machine learning-based automation within a single MySQL database. This service allows AWS users to run transaction processing, analytics, and machine learning workloads in one service, without requiring time-consuming duplication between separate databases such as Amazon Aurora for transaction processing and Amazon Redshift or Snowflake on AWS for analytics and SageMaker for machine learning, Oracle said in a statement. “We were keen to expand the horizon and facilitate faster innovation for the country. Now, with users of AWS being able to leverage the various benefits of MySQL, all the capabilities of MySQL HeatWave are delivered natively on AWS, so such data transfers and associated high egress fees will no longer be necessary. For users with AWS applications using non-HeatWave implementations of MySQL, they can now upgrade to MySQL HeatWave, without needing to change a single line of code,” said P Saravanan, vice president, cloud engineering, Oracle India. Oracle is also adding new capabilities and benchmarks for the service on AWS. MySQL HeatWave on AWS is optimised to deliver higher performance and lower cost compared to competitive offerings, the company said. To illustrate, on the 4TB TPC-H benchmark, MySQL HeatWave on AWS delivers price performance that is 7X better than Amazon Redshift, 10X better than Snowflake, 12X better than Google BigQuery, and 4X better than Azure Synapse. For machine learning, MySQL HeatWave on AWS is 25X faster than Redshift ML, the company said in a statement. It has added some more security features, which provide additional differentiation with Amazon Aurora, it added. These include server-side data masking and de-identification, asymmetric data encryption, and a database firewall. It has also rolled out an autopilot feature, which provides workload-aware, machine learning-based automation of various aspects of the application lifecycle, including provisioning, data management, query execution, and failure handling, the company said. “MySQL HeatWave on AWS simplifies our data platform with a consolidated database for both transaction processing and analytics. We have seen 60-90X faster complex queries compared to AWS RDS and Aurora that generate real-time analytics we need for targeted, multichannel campaigns. We now have greater scalability to onboard more data and new clients of any size without increasing IT administration,” said Thomas Henz, chief executive officer of Germany-based digital agency for web and app development firm <keyword id="15130037" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="johnny-bytes" source="Orion">Johnny Bytes</keyword>.

As per the India Meteorological Department, April was the <a href="https://internal.imd.gov.in/press_release/20220402_pr_1551.pdf">hottest </a>month for northwest and central India and the third-hottest April the country has seen over the past 122 years, from 1901 to 2022. This April, which left more than a billion people sweltering, was not ‘just another hot month.’ It indicates a recurring pattern of intense hot spells, which could be a sign of climate change and global warming. <div type="image" title="Summer has arrived early this year" msid="91355355" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Summer has arrived early this year&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> Could these intense and recurring heat waves be a sign of climate change? The number of heat wave days in India in a decade has increased from 413 during 1981-90 to 575 in 2001-10 and further to 600 in 2010-20, a <a href="https://theprint.in/environment/indias-early-heatwave-sign-of-climate-change-could-be-more-dangerous-to-health-say-experts/933706/">study </a>by IMD and Kottayam-based Institute for Climate Change Studies (ICCS) said, highlighting the impact of climate crisis on the maximum temperatures. In fact, 12 of the country’s 15 <a href="https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1686173">warmest years</a> on record have occurred in the last 30 years. The daily high temperatures measured each year have also been increasing at a faster rate than daily low temperatures. This indicates that the distribution of temperature is shifting and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/02/india-heat-wave-in-pictures.html">changing </a>the ‘normal’ state. <div type="image" title="12 of India&amp;#39;s 15 warmest years on record have occurred in the last 30 years" msid="91355411" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;12 of India&amp;#39;s 15 warmest years on record have occurred in the last 30 years&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The heat wave is also taking lives. The 2015 <a href="https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/85986/india-faces-deadly-heat-wave">heat wave</a> in June killed more than 2,500 people and the 2022 heat wave in March and April has already taken 25 lives in <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/25-heat-stroke-deaths-in-maha-most-in-6-yrs/articleshow/91243493.cms">Maharashtra</a>, which is the highest in six years, and over 374 cases of heat stroke have been reported in this period. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2022/04/29/climate-change-india-heatwave/9583931002/">Experts</a> predict that before climate change, such intensity of heat would have only been seen about once in every 50 years in India. However, it is now <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2022/04/29/climate-change-india-heatwave/9583931002/">expected</a> to occur once every four years. Is the worst yet to come? Let’s take a closer look at the heat patterns in April. On April 27, 2022, the highest temperature in the country, 45.9°C (114.6°F), was recorded in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Barmer in West Rajasthan in the northwest reported a high of 45.1°C (113.2°F) a day before, according to the <a href="https://mausam.imd.gov.in/Forecast/marquee_data/Press%20Release%2027.04.2022%20_1.pdf">India Meteorological Department</a>. Many other cities and towns recorded temperatures of 42-44°C (108-111°F). <div type="image" title="Northwest and central India recorded the third-hottest April the country has seen over the past 122 years" msid="91355531" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Northwest and central India recorded the third-hottest April the country has seen over the past 122 years &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> These patterns could change in the future. So, is the worst yet to come? As per India’s Ministry of Earth Sciences, the frequency of warm extremes over India has increased during 1951–2015, with accelerated warming trends during the recent 30-year period. Significant change is observed for the warmest day, warmest night and coldest night since 1986. Our country, which is reeling through a heat wave right now, is also expected to suffer through more frequent and intense hot spells, extreme rainfall and erratic monsoons in the coming decades as the planet warms, said <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/india-s-record-heatwave-to-get-worse-authorities-blame-global-warming-122042900785_1.html">United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel</a>, a body for assessing the science related to climate change. On the other hand, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) released a statement that said “it is premature to attribute the extreme heat in India and Pakistan solely to climate change.” The global body added that the heat is consistent with what it expects in a changing climate. The WMO also noted that these “heat waves are more frequent and more intense and starting earlier than in the past.” Cascading impacts of a heat wave The summer in India has been brutal in the past couple of years, with heat wave deaths occurring with more regularity, especially in heat wave-prone regions of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra and Odisha. It also has led to cascading impacts not just on human health, but also on ecosystems such as agriculture, water and energy supplies. Power demand has spiked and coal inventories have dropped, leaving the country with its worst <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/why-are-there-power-cuts-and-heatwave-in-india/articleshow/91177785.cms">power shortage</a> in more than six years. Additionally, in the last seven days, India’s Forest Survey department (FSI) has reported more than<a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videos/in-depth/how-frequent-forest-fires-impact-humans-animals-and-environment-equally/videoshow/91294425.cms"> 7800 forest fires </a>in various parts of the country. <div type="image" title="Large forest fires have increased in India due to rising temperatures" msid="91355581" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Large forest fires have increased in India due to rising temperatures&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The heat wave has also <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/after-five-record-crops-heat-wave-threatens-indias-wheat-output-export-plans-2022-05-02/">threatened</a> India’s wheat output plan. However, there’s still hope to <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/2022/04/04/ipcc-ar6-wgiii-pressrelease/">control</a> climate change. It will involve a substantial reduction in fossil fuel use, widespread electrification, improved energy efficiency, and use of alternative fuels (such as hydrogen).
