MySQL Connect is rapidly approaching and one of the speakers is Peter Zaitsev, CEO of Percona. Peter volunteered to participate in our survey of MySQL Community Members.
What are your speaking about at your session?
I’m speaking about indexing best practices for MySQL,
specifically focusing at a new ways MySQL 5.6 can use indexes and
what opportunities does it bring.
Who would benefit most from attending your
session?
This is a topic of broad interest. Developers and DBAs both need
to be very familiar with a way MySQL can use sessions.
What other sessions would you recommend or are planning to
attend?
There are a lot of wonderful sessions this year. Specifically I
will look forward to the product information from Oracle team –
MySQL 5.7 and direction of the MySQL group with State of the
Dolphin.
A couple of Performance Schema sessions look very interesting –
this is wonderful and underused MySQL feature. Facebook sharing
their MySQL 5.6 plans is very interesting too.
What did you learn last year at MySQL Connect that really
benefited you?
Product update information was the most helpful – new features in
MySQL 5.6 specifically Optimizer and Innodb teams talks were
helpful for me.
Why should ‘Joe Average’ DBA or Developer attend MySQL
Connect?
Learning how to use MySQL more efficiently. MySQL 5.6 is a big
new game in town but one needs to understand its advantages well
to really benefit.
