As you may already be aware, FOSDEM and its wonderful MySQL and Friends track are once again descending upon the campus of the ULB in Brussels, Belgium. Logically, a traditional MySQL and Friends Community Dinner must follow! Signups for that dinner, on January 31, are now available, so be sure to get your tickets before they run out.
As 2015 heralds the 20th anniversary of MySQL, it stands to reason we would love to mark the occasion with our biggest and best edition yet!

[Read more]MariaDB has announced that MaxScale is now GA.
“MaxScale is an open-source, database-centric proxy that works with MariaDB Enterprise, MariaDB 10 and Oracle MySQL®. Its pluggable architecture is designed to increase flexibility and aid in customization as well as a lightweight, high-speed networking core designed to facilitate throughput.

One of the really interesting parts of my job is looking at the new submissions to Planet.MySQL.Com and seeing what interesting things people are doing with MySQL. Today I found Nicola Strappzaaon’s Swapbytes.com in the approval queue and his top article at the time was Give a little color to the MySQL Console. Actually the tile read Darle un poco de color a la consola de MySQL but Google translate overcame my insufficient skills.
Basically you install grcat ‘universal coulouriser’, install a configuration file, and tweak the .my.cnf file to use grcat as the pager. Nicola’s blog goes …
