The SkySQL & MariaDB: Solutions Day for the MySQL Database (the first of its kind) took place last Friday (April 13th) in Santa Clara, and we’d like to thank everyone who attended, participated and generally helped make it the successful day that it was!
The SkySQL booth ready for the stampede of visitors that stopped by each day.
We hope it was as productive and fun for all of you as it was for us at SkySQL! We started out the week at Percona Live, which was an excellent conference. Thanks to the Percona folks for making this a great get-together for the MySQL community. Excellent job, guys!
We welcomed two new partners, hastexo and PalominoDB, which means our customers will see even better MySQL service and support with SkySQL. And many of our current …
[Read more]On March 21st I will be in Paris, to attend the OTN MySQL Developers Day. Oracle is organizing these events all over the world, and although the majority are in the US, some of them are touching the good old European continent. Previous events were an all-Oracle show. Recently, the MySQL Community team has been asking for cooperation from the community, and in such capacity I am also presenting at the event, on the topic of testing early releases of MySQL in a sandbox. Of course, this is one of my favorite topics, but it is quite appropriate in this period, when Oracle has released a whole lot of preview features in its MySQL Labs. Which is another favorite topic of mine, since I was the one who insisted for having the Labs when I was working in the …

I was recently talking with a few people and the concept of
summary tables came up as solutions for them. The issue is, they
never thought of it. Hopefully this post will help them as well
as others.
Summary Tables are not a new concept. They are exactly what they
sound like, basically summary of existing data. Aggregated
tables, materialized views and summary tables are very dominate
in data warehouses. You can also take advantage of these concepts
as part of your reporting systems as well.
So summary tables are real tables. So you can take advantage of
indexes and etc with them. In the examples I am using, I consider
them more of a summary table than aggregated tables . Depending
on your application and needs it could grow into more of an
aggregated tables and or materialized views situation.
How you separate your data and tables is dependent on your
reporting and application needs.
The following is a high level example of …

I see so many posts on what happened to company X, product Y and
dream Z that I couldn't resist the temptation to summarize this
great year for MySQL. At the end of 2010, Oracle did an
announcement we were all waiting for: MySQL 5.5 is GA! Another year has passed
since then and it's time to reflect on what has been done.
I know this is a long post. I tried to rewrite it at least 10
times to make it shorter, but I couldn't condense the list.
Hence, I wrote a summary in the beginning for those who don't
want to read it all.
I believe that 2011 was an exceptional year for MySQL and I
really enjoy being part of this team. I wish all of us a lot of
success and fun in the years to come!
Summary:
Oracle released many …
