For those of you lucky enough to come and listen to all the great talks within the MySQL Central @ Oracle OpenWorld this year, I’ll also be giving a talk about the MySQL sys schema this year.

This builds upon the talks that I’ve given in the past around Performance Schema, as well as some of the great looking talks on Performance Schema that are on the schedule this year by other MySQL @ Oracle engineers (see below).

The schedule builder is now live, here are some of the other interesting ones on my list that I’d like to attend:

• MySQL 5.6 and WebScaleSQL at Facebook 
• MySQL 5.7: Performance and Scalability Benchmarks
• MySQL 5.7: InnoDB—What’s New
• MySQL Performance: Demystified Tuning and Best Practices
• Inside VividCortex’s MySQL Architecture
• A Hands-on Exploration of InnoDB On-Disk Storage with InnoDB Ruby
• MySQL Cost Model
• New Data Dictionary: An Internal Server API That Matters

And of course, if you’re in to monitoring as much as me (and why wouldn’t you be?), be sure to check these out:

• Using MySQL Enterprise Monitor for Continuous Performance Improvement
• Practical Introduction to MySQL Monitoring for Oracle Enterprise Manager Users
• MySQL Troubleshooting with the Performance Schema
• MySQL’s Performance Schema: New Features in 5.6 and 5.7
• Yahoo: Performance Monitoring and Tuning at Scale

Hope to see you there – come find me, and lets have a beverage of your choice together!
