One of our colleagues, Dimitri, at the Paris Sun solution center has developed a real neat and useful tool called dim_STAT. To make it short it's a tool for both high-level and detailed, monitoring and performance analysis of Solaris and Linux systems.

Data is collected and saved in a MySQL database, and it provides a very functional web base user interface. It allows real time or off line monitoring, multi-host etc.

Actually what is really interesting with dim_STAT is that, when I'm benchmarking or tryinng to find a performance bottleneck, I can collect all the data I need and come back later for analysis.

Recently, Dimitri has added a new tool db_STRESS, that allows us to put load on a database system and gives a high level metric (TPS: Transactions per seconds) and therefor allows us to compare how different systems

We have started a new project wiki for MySQL Connector/Net.  It’s a little light in content right now but should grow rapidly.  It can be found here.  Please let us know what we can do better.

MySQL Connector/Net 6.0.3, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released.  This is the first GA release of the new 6.0 connector and introduces several new features and enhancements.  This release is approved for use in all scenarios and officially supports MySQL servers 4.1 and higher.   We had three major goals with this release:  speed, entity framework support, and a better Visual Studio experience.  I'm happy to report that we have met all three.

It is now available in source and binary form from [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.0.html] and mirror sites (note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point of time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another

MySQL Connector/Net 5.2.6, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released.  This release is of GA quality and is suitable for  use in production environments.  We strongly urge you to  review the change log that is shipped with the product for a thorough review of the changes.

We have a ton of fixes in this release so please review the changelog and see if your favorite bug has been fixed.  This version officially supports all versions of MySQL from 4.1 and later.

Mike Hillyer talks about MySQL Workbench. Very nice workshop! (Hillyer will make slides and screen recording of his talk available.)

This is a great platform-native application. All presentation code is written for each specific platform. It is the second most-popular download and the second most purchased product in the MySQL online shop.  There's a community edition and there's a standard edition of the Workbench. People in the workshop got a 1 year subscription to the commercial, standard edition.

I'm sitting in the room here in MySQL Conference. I'm running a WB 5.1 edition I've built on my MacBook Pro laptop.

Hi,
MySQL Connector/Net 6.0.2, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released.  This is a beta release and is intended to introduce you to the new features and enhancements we are planning.  This release should not be used in a production environment.

This release was quickly pushed out due to a problem that caused 6.0.1 to not register with Visual Studio correctly.  We also made a small correction to a previous bug fix.  SQL generated from entity framework for stored procedures will now not directly reference the schema.  This allows the model to move to a different database without need of change.  We had previously made this change for tables but failed to do so for procedures.

It is now available in source and binary form from [

Check out the ideas from MySQL for Google Summer of Code 2009!

These are specially-selected projects for students who are looking to do some coding in a real, open-source, highly-adopted software environment. 

The learning experience will be tremendous given that MySQL engineers will be mentoring them. 

Some student stipend is provided by the Google Summer of Code. It is intended for students to gain "exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits."
