OpenSQLCamp was a huge success! I took videos of most of the sessions (we only had 3 video cameras, and 4 rooms, and 2 sessions were not recorded). Unfortunately, I was busy doing administrative stuff for opensqlcamp for the opening keynote and first 15 minutes of the session organizing, and when I got to the planning board, it was already full….so I was not able to give a session.

A buddy of mine, Doug Marks, recently opened my eyes to some sites that are putting out misleading product reviews fueled by Google Ad Words. I wrote about this on my InfoWorld blog with a story entitled "FTC and Google need to crack down on scam
Following Restore one table from an ALL database dump and Restore a Single Table From mysqldump, I would like to add my own thoughts and comments on the subject.
I also wish to note performance issues with the two suggested solutions, and offer improvements.
While the problem is interesting, I just want to note that it is relevant in very specific database dimensions. Too small – and it doesn’t matter how you solve it (e.g. just open vi/emacs and copy+paste). Too big – and it would not be worthwhile to restore from mysqldump anyway. I would suggest that the problem is interesting in the whereabouts of a few dozen GB worth of
[Read more...]Our contest to give away one of our blazingly fast Kickfire Analytic Appliances to a deserving organization is heading into the home stretch. We have already had almost 1,000 people voice their opinion and encourage everyone interested in data warehousing, business intelligence, MySQL, open source, or any other aspect of this contest to vote for their favorite semi-finalist before 5:00P PT Tuesday, December 1st. We will announce the winner on Wednesday, December 5th.
To enter the contest, we asked organizations to submit their most compelling story of “data warehouse pain.” Our esteemed judges, Curt Monash, founder of Monash Research (www.monash.com) and publisher of DBMS2, Joy Mundy, principal at the Kimball Group (www.kimballgroup.com), Peter Zaitsev, founder and chief executive
[Read more...]In my previous post, Capturing Erroneous Queries with MySQL Proxy, I showed how to capture erroneous queries, along with relevant information, that one could not effectively obtain from the MySQL general query log. However, in that post, I simply output the information to the terminal. Therefore, in this example, I want to show how to write this information to a proxy log file.
To change this to log to a log file does not require too many changes, and so this is a useful example on how to log any proxy-related information to a log file.
if (log_file == nil) then log_file = "C:/Program

The technical problem isn't new. It has been solved before. I had however problems finding a solution in a single document.
[Read more...]A community member recently noted, that it takes quite a long time to compile MySQL Workbench. So he started wondering about how big the project actually is and asked for the Lines Of Code we have in our MySQL Workbench 5.2 repository.
We did not have this information at hand and therefore Alfredo ran some scripts during the weekend and generated this nice breakdown.

As you can see, we almost have 700k lines of code to maintain. Given that the MySQL Server itself has about 900k lines of code this is a pretty decent number I think, especially for a small team of 7.
I’ve been trying to dig a bit deeper into the European Commission’s investigation of Oracle’s proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems, to look beyond the received wisdom about the EC’s concerns about the deal.
We know they revolve around the open source MySQL database, the European Commission has said that much. But the Statement of Objections weighs in at 155 pages, and even those that have read it admit to being confused by it. Meanwhile some of the most vocal parties in the public debate have vested interests in encouraging opinions for or against the deal.
Without knowing precisely what the European Commission wants to achieve it is impossible to come to any conclusions about the investigation. However,

The focus is on products licensed under an Open Source license. Yet, most of the recommendations also apply to proprietary offerings.

Hi,
We are pleased to announce MONyog 3.6 – a major new release. Listed below are the major features included in this release.
Real-time query monitoring and sniping
MONyog provides a whole bunch of tools for finding problem SQL (Slow Query Log, SHOW PROCESSLIST snapshots, MySQL Proxy, etc). These tools are great if you want to find problem SQL in an application and tune those queries. However, using these tools to find problem is almost always a post-mortem exercise. In certain situations you may want real-time notifications for long running queries. MONyog 3.6 gives you exactly that. MONyog can continuosly monitor queries in real-time and send notifications (on Mail or SNMP) for queries that take more than a specified amount of time to execute.

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On OpenSUSE 11.2 (LAMP)
LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on an OpenSUSE 11.2 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.
![]() | Comparing database schemas is one of those DBA tasks that occur all the time. If you can afford the luxury of having a GUI, then MySQL Workbench is the tool for you. It will help you compare structures and eventually synchronizing the differences. If the only thing at your disposal is a command line interface, without the possibility of installing anything (a common occurrence when you are consulting), then this Poor man's schema comparison tool may come handy. |
