I’m excited to attend the MySQL Innovation Day at Oracle headquarters in Redwood Shores next Tuesday. There are some great sessions planned on MySQL advances, including:

• InnoDB online operations
• Global transaction IDs for replication and failover
• NoSQL interfaces to InnoDB and NDB
• PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA improvements
• Optimizer enhancements

This is a great opportunity for MySQL users to get details straight from MySQL developers on upcoming features.  While the focus is entirely on what is being done in Engineering to drive MySQL forward, I’ll be around to chat about MySQL Support at the community reception in the afternoon.  If you’re a MySQL Support user, or just interested in learning more about the value MySQL Support can offer (http://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/white-papers/mysql_wp_oracle_premier_support.php" target="_blank), stop by and say hi!

Registration for Innovation Day on-site remains open, so if you can make time this Tuesday, join us!  And if you can’t join us in person, there’s also the live webcast option!
