MySQL University: Memcached Functions for MySQL

This Thursday (November 19th, 14:00 UTC), Patrick Galbraith will present memcached Functions for MySQL (UDFs). This session is about a suite of functions available to use with MySQL that allow you to store, retrieve and delete data, as well as most of the functions and operations that are available with libmemcached, such as server connectivity to the client, server status, client behaviors, and more. You can combine the fetching of data from one or more tables with the fetching of data from memcached and be able to apply any SQL operations on that result set such as LIMIT, sorting and other conditional operations.

MySQL scalability: diagnostic for beginners

This past week I have been working with 2 Web2.0 startups - members of Sun Startup Essentials, they get the support for free - that are looking at improving the response time of their web site.

We've been working at understanding how they servers behave today and what could prevent their application to scale, which led me to show how to run a quick diagnostic on an existing system and to restate some key fundamentals in terms of scalability.

Let's start by the fundamentals.

Any piece of software is nothing else than a set of instructions that need 2 things: computing units to execute on, and a fast access to data.

Computing units are available in the form of a hardware threads located on a processor. The number of threads that a server makes available to the application depends on the number of processors on the server, the number of …

Memcached Functions For MySQL 1.1 Released

I'm pleased to announce the release of Memcached Functions for MySQL version 1.1. I realized in the past few weeks, while writing my latest book "Expert PHP and MySQL", that there was no way to obtain the CAS value of a cached item in order to successfully use the function memc_cas(). So, I decided to create a new function, memc_get_cas(), which obtains the CAS value for an item so you can subsequently use this value in a memc_cas() call, which is shown in the example below:

mysql> select memc_get_cas('t1');
+--------------------+
| memc_get_cas('t1') |
+--------------------+
|                  3 | 
+--------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> select memc_get('t1');
+----------------+
| memc_get('t1') |
+----------------+
| new value      | 
+----------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec) …

More memcached

Our intrepid NorthScalers have been doing some interesting work recently in memcached land...

Last week, Dustin Sallings announced his memcached server implementation in Erlang, called EMemcached.  Besides being a cool project, there's a surprising amount of interest in the mixture of memcached and Erlang, as you can see from the comments on Dustin's announcement post.

Today, Patrick Galbraith announced that the memcached UDF's are now integrated into the Drizzle project's mainline.  Drizzle is an interesting fork of MySQL and these …
