When the mysql librarian closed, I didn’t think too much about it; it was a feature I probably never used. However this month brings the end of the mysql forge. The MySQL Forge was something I worked on while I was at MySQL so I am a little sad to see it go. 

Now for a little bit of a history lesson. We wanted some kind of “forge” back in 2005, because sourceforge was all the rage then (today, you can’t even find mariadb or mongodb listed there). We didn’t want to pay the exorbitant fees associated with sourceforge, so we investigated

In my old post there is a bug when run in MySQL 5.1.30 and old, because the status variable Queries was added in MySQL 5.1.31. So i change to choose between Queries and Questions status variables, and I think the Queries represent more accurate result. http://forge.mysql.com/tools/tool.php?id=217 By the way: # Queries The number of statements executed by the server. This variable includes

Hi!

Yesterday I had the honour of presenting my mini-bi/datawarehousing tutorial "Starring Sakila" for MySQL University. I did a modified version of the presentation I did together with Matt Casters at the MySQL user's conference 2009. The structure of the presentation is still largely the same, although I condensed various bits, and I added practical examples of setting up the ETL process and creating a Pentaho Analysis View (OLAP pivot table) on top of a Mondrian Cube.

The slides, session recording, and materials such as SQL script, pentaho data integration jobs and transformations, and Sakila Rentals Cube for Mondrian are all available here on MySQL

Calvin had a good suggestion for a search filter in the public worklog system on the targeted version that the Worklog task is aiming for. I have thus added the filter to the Forge search pages, as shown to the left. You can select from the dropdown list of versions in the top of the search column and the search will filter automatically to only tasks targeting that version. Cheers.

OK, so on Wednesday morning, in Latvia, Monty came up to me and asked if I could add a feature to the MySQL Forge Worklog system to help his team and others track dependencies between worklog tasks. Internally, our worklog system allows developers to track whether one task is dependent upon the completion of another task. So, I took a couple hours and hacked in this functionality to the public Forge worklog system. If a task has dependent "child" tasks, then a new tab in the worklog display shows those dependent tasks. Shown on the right is the "super-task" for the Maria project, which has a number of direct child tasks (some of which have child tasks themselves). As you can see, the "Dependent Tasks" tab now shows these sub-tasks. Enjoy.

This post is the first in a series of articles which serves to highlight the services of the Launchpad platform which hosts the MySQL Server, MySQL Forge, MySQL Sandbox and Drizzle Server projects. I will be walking you through the various pieces of the platform and provide examples of using each of the services. I will cover in depth the source code management services which all three projects now rely upon. The code management services are the critical piece of the development platform. In addition, I will show you how to use the Blueprints, Bugs, Answers and Translations services that many MySQL ecosystem projects,
