MariaDB CONNECT Storage Engine replay & slides available
The slides and replay of yesterday’s webinar on the MariaDB
CONNECT storage engine have just been posted. First I want to
thank the numerous attendees.
You have shown great interest on the parallel execution of query
on distributed MySQL Servers. I agree this is cool.
I have just finished the MySQL 5.6 DBA Certification Exam Beta and my best advice is to study, study, study. The exam is in beta which means three things. The first is the exam is three hours long and it took me all that time to finish. Normally I am very fast test taker which has helped me earn three college degrees and enough computer related certifications to wallpaper a decent sized house. So if you are a slow reader, suck down a gallon of high octane coffee before your test appointment.
Secondly consider that some of the question will need to be cut out or reworked as the exam becomes production to fit the normal two hour test window Pearson View prefers. But in the beta period you over test and cut out the questions that prove less than satisfactory. So if you see a questions that triggers the ‘where the heck did they find that?’ reflex, you can hope that it gets determined to be a question to be relegated.

There has been a lot of discussion about MariaDB 10.0 throughout the whole year. When will it be released, what will it include, what is the focus on MariaDB going forward, etc? My feeling is that people have in the past few months started to understand the value of MariaDB 10.0. There is a good group of people and companies that have been trying out and using the MariaDB 10.0 alpha releases and providing us with excellent feedback.
MariaDB 10.0 is a massive release with loads of new features which ease several pain points that MariaDB and MySQL users have run into over the years.
The highlights of MariaDB 10.0 can be divided into the following areas...

[Read more]MySQL introduced row-based replication in version 5.1, but I still use statement-based replication most of the time. One thing I like about statement-based replication is that I can delete a row from the master that doesn't exist on the replica, without an error. I'm sure many people don't care about this feature because their master(s) and replica(s) contain exactly the same data set (maybe they even keep them in sync use pt-table-checksum and pt-table-sync). That being said, personally I have several use cases for storing different rows in the master than the replica. Here's one of them.
Recently I've been working on a project that requires deleting a …
