Hi,
Let me see if I can share it with you or not. I’ll mail you privately.
Thx for reading.

At FromDual, we are currently preparing for our participation in the "Chemnitzer Linux-Tage" in March.
While we don't yet know whether the programme committee accepted our proposed talks, we will have a booth and hope for interesting exchanges with others from the MySQL, database, Linux, ... world. Of course, we will also mention that we are looking for additional colleagues - there are so many tasks that we need more people to handle them all. (In case you got curious, look here: http://www.fromdual.com/mysql-dba-2014-12-de )

While I attended the Chemnitzer Linux-Tage already last year (thank you, Frank Hofmann, for recommending them!), it will be the first time there for FromDual as a company. I enjoyed the informal atmosphere, which made it easy to get into contact with new people, to learn, and to discuss both facts and opinions.

To those of you who …

Being a QA Engineer, how would you feel if you had access to a framework which can generate 80+ crashes – a mix of hitting developer introduced assertions (situations that should not happen), and serious unforeseen binary crashes – for the world’s most popular open source database software – each and ever hour? What if you could do this running on a medium spec machine – even a laptop?

The seniors amongst you may object “But… generating a crash or assertion is one thing – creating a repeatable testcase for the same is quite another.”

Introducing pquery, mtr_to_sql, reducer.sh (the pquery-enabled version), and more:

80+ coredumps per hour. Fully automatic testcase creation. Near-100% testcase reproducibility. C++ core. 15 Seconds run time per trial. Up to 20-25k lines of SQL executed per trial. CLI testcases. Compatible with sporadic issues. High-end automation of many aspects.

It all …

The next release of MongoDB includes the ability to select a storage engine, the goal being that different storage engines will have different capabilities/advantages, and user's can select the one most beneficial to their particular use-case. Storage engines are cool. MySQL has offered them for quite a while. One very big difference between the MySQL and MongoDB implementations is that in MySQL the user gets to select a particular storage engine for each table, whereas in MongoDB it's a choice made at server startup. You get a single storage engine for everything on the particular mongod instance. I see pros and cons to each decision, but that's a blog for another day.

In MongoDB 3.0 …

MySQL Fabric will be used set up a three node High Availability server farm and this is the second part of a series. If you missed the last post, I will be doing a live demo (gulp!) on Fabric for the Triangle MySQL User Group in Raleigh. But part of the pain of live demos is how do you get multiple servers set up to make a server farm. E-I-E-I-oh?

Of course getting the slaves up on one laptop and running correctly is the biggest expenditure of time for this demo. For this I will use Vagrant. I am using Vagrant to set up three identical servers using VirtualBox to provide the servers I need for the demo. I am using Ubuntu.
sudo apt-get install vagrant VirtualBox
mkdir vagerant
cd vagrant
vagrant box add db1 …

The MySQL grant syntax allows you to specify dynamic database names using the wildcard characters. This article explains the usecase of dynamic section of mysql grants.

Today we announced the release of VividCortex Developer edition. You can find the full press release here.

VividCortex’s new Developer service tier makes industry-leading query-level visibility available for no charge.

Baron Schwartz is quoted: “As a technology startup, VividCortex appreciates the value of moving fast. When a small team of smart developers have just founded a business and are searching for product/market fit with a minimal viable product, an excellent tool for database performance management is a must. The last thing you want to do is spend time on burdensome tasks like slow query log analysis. We’re big proponents of the lean startup mindset here at VividCortex, and we’ve benefited greatly from the opensource community, so this is one way we can say thanks.”
