The benchmark methodology I described in previous posts, so let me jump directly to results.

First case is random write asynchronous 8 threads IO, the test is done just after a secure erase operation on the card.

The card is doing stable 380 …

jQuery, PHP and CSS.. NetBeans IDE Still Rocks..

Recently, got an opportunity to do some implementation using Ajax and PHP. Having previously used NetBeans IDE 6.1/6.5 for PHP, it was an obvious choice to come back to NetBeans IDE again.

Although, I am yet to download the latest version, I am currently using 6.8 and I enjoyed every bit of it, while playing with CSS and jQuery for the first time, while implementing Ajax with PHP.

As I am gonna stay with PHP for sometime now, so I guess I better get my NetBeans IDE upgraded, before I miss out on any useful features.

It’s good to be back

Percona Live: NYC Conflicts with Oracle OpenWorld

I was checking out my schedule as I prepared to submit some talks to Percona Live: NYC, when I noticed that it conflicts with Oracle OpenWorld, and starts the day after MySQL Connect finishes. The dates for Oracle OpenWorld were announced at the end of last year’s OpenWorld, so Percona has made a bold statement by choosing to conflict with Oracle OpenWorld. I do not believe Percona knew about MySQL Connect, but it’s happening all the same.

This is all mostly to say that I cannot attend Percona Live: NYC – I have obligations as an Oracle ACE Director to attend some meetings before and during Oracle OpenWorld, but even if I did not, I just submitted presentations to MySQL Connect and it’s not feasible for me to do that …

The cost of improved security on a MySQL server

Security-Enhanced Linux or SELinux is a Linux kernel feature that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies. It enables a system administrator to create an extra set of rules that define allowed operations for programs even after the standard controls are checked. In other words, SELinux can help improving system security by restricting access of an application to only a few resources it actually needs, which makes it more difficult for an attacker to gain access to the entire system through exploiting any possible vulnerabilities in the application.

However as rarely anything in life is free, is there any price we have to pay to use SELinux on a MySQL server?

I ran a simple MySQL benchmark first with database working in a system with SELinux enabled (SELINUX=enforcing), and then also with the extra security layer entirely disabled (SELINUX=disabled).

The …
