Similar to databases, the modern IT team is often distributed. As remote work increases and employee locations span the globe, it becomes difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Our latest time zone update is a step toward this goal.

In the past, all the dates and graphs have been shown in the user’s time zone. VivdCortex has members in Charlottesville and Montevideo, which adds a level of complexity. If you have members in San Fransisco, Auckland, and London, communicating can get really complicated.

While this is still the defult behavior, you can also set a fixed time zone for an environment, ensuring every team member is looking at the same time. This is especially helpful when trouble shooting, optimizing certain queries, collaborating after a code deploy… the list goes on.

The current time zone will be shown in the timepicker for easy reference, and every time we display a date, we will also …

The average American consumer isn’t usually interested in “buying” a big database. But thanks to the recent boom in the popularity of subscription music services like Spotify, databases are competing for folks’ cash more directly than ever before. After all, what are these services other than giant banks of media, made accessible and sleek? The summer of 2015 has brought the battle for music-lovers’ wallets to fever pitch, with the launch of Apple Music and Tidal, both poised to challenge the reign of top-dog Spotify.

MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4 has been released

The MySQL Windows Experience Team is proud to announce the release of MySQL for Visual Studio 1.2.4. This is a maintenance release for 1.2.x, and it can be used for production environments.

In this blog post, we will cover one of the most basic tasks of the DBA - minor and major database upgrades.  

This is the sixth installment in the ‘Become a MySQL DBA’ blog series. Our previous posts in the DBA series include Replication Topology Changes, …
