As part of the ongoing effort to refactor MySQL and make it better, we are defining the behaviour of certain features and in some cases reimplimenting them in a more maintainable fashion.
I have previously blogged on:
As every year in February, in Brussels, the
FOSDEM will take place!
And as every year, the MySQL Community will also be present! For
the 3rd year in a row, I have the honour of organising the

held February 1 and 2.
This year instead of Sunday, the MySQL & Friends Devroom will be

the Community Dinner (more information related to the dinner will
come later).
The “Call for Papers” has been announced on the MySQL mailing
list, you can still read it here.
CfP is open until December 6th!

In Part 3 of this series we found out that Big Data is a huge revenue generator for business that is expected to drive $232 billion in spending through 2016. In this installment we’ll continue to explore why Big Data must become a critical part of any business strategy in the 21st century.
First, the Bad News
Okay, so we get the notion of what Big Data is and why it’s important for business. So what can be done about it? The first point is to recognize your business strategy and needs as well as the limitations in your current infrastructure. Traditional organizational data warehouses are based on structured, well-organized data sets. Think Oracle, MySQL, and relational databases . . . that nicely organize data in tables and …
[Read more]Yesterday was Melbourne Cup day in Australia – the biggest annual horse race event in the country, and in the state of Victoria it’s even a public holiday.

(As I write this post, I check and find that indeed it now appears this may be possible http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/MySQL56/).
