I attended Percona Live London since the creation of the event, and every year, I left with the same feeling, a great satisfaction.
This year again PLUK will be the place to be for MySQL lovers in Europe and I hope to meet you there.

Let me explain why you should go to PLUK2013?

• Because MySQL is primarily a community
• And you are this community
• This is an easy way to meet other members of this community
• You can meet talented people behind the blogs you read every days
• And speakers from some of the most innovative companies with MySQL
• This is the largest MySQL event in Europe
• London is really a fantastic city even in November (there is no season for beer)
• You can save a lot of money until August 4

Register now and enjoy …

I wasn’t at the MySQL Conference this year but it was very nice to follow this event from Paris.
Of course I didn’t feel the general atmosphere by visiting booths or met fabulous people.
But it was a great opportunity to offer you a live post about the conference with an external point of view.

Twitter, RSS feeds (yes Google, I still use RSS), Planet MySQL and infiltrators were my best friends during this crazy week.

I would like to summarize the major announcements and events occurs during this tenth edition.

A few years ago, I asked to check with me in the long (very long) change history of MySQL 5.5 documentation what are the changes in relation to the SQL syntax.
Chris Calender helped me to retrieve a list of the main changes, thanks again Chris.

Today, I would like to share this list with you.
It is simply a curated transcript of what you might find in the documentation but I’m sure it can help some of you.
 

INTO clause in nested SELECT statements

 
Previously, the parser accepted an INTO clause in nested SELECT statements, which is invalid because such statements must return their results to the outer context. As of MySQL 5.5.3, this syntax is no longer permitted and statements that use it must be changed.
 

Table aliases in DELETE statements

 
In MySQL 5.5.3, several changes …

As a former Oracle DBA, I know how the system and the database are linked.
The first one who told me that the installation of Oracle has never been a problem is a liar!
Yes, your database and your system are the best of friends, you must respect that.

I’d make a list of linux system settings to configure a MySQL databases server and share my sources with you.
In return, I would like you to share your sources with the community by publishing your tips in the comments.
