bash completion for mysql-test-run

For many years I was using tcsh, with lots of useful customizations, that were created during these years. Now I have bash on my laptop and slowly adding what I’ve got used to.

Yesterday I’ve created command line completion rules for mysql-test-run. It’s not a complete set of everything that’s possible, still it’s quite useful as it is. I need to type much less now when invoking mysql-test-run (and I invoke it quite a lot).

If you’d like to try it, paste the below in your ~/.bashrc:

_mtr_complete_testnames ()
{
  dir=$1
  [ -d $dir/t ] && dir=$dir/t
  testnames=`cd $dir && echo *.test | sed -e 's/.test>//g'`
}
_mtr_complete()
{
  [ -x ./mtr ] || return
  cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]}
  case $cur in
    --*)
      opts=`./mtr --list`
      COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "$opts" -- $cur) )
      ;;
    main.*)
      _mtr_complete_testnames .
      COMPREPLY=( …

Using MySQL, Perl and jQuery to Auto-Populate a Form Field on a Web Page

If you have ever built a form on a web page, you might have used a drop-down menu to display the choices available for a particular field. With a drop-down menu, you restrict the choices a user may select so that the user doesn’t enter invalid data (among other reasons). If a user misspells an entry, then a subsequent search for that value would not produce a found result.

A friend of mine who runs an online forum sent me an email about a problem he was having. He was trying to modify an existing registration web page using jQuery to auto-populate the state names, and then pass the state abbreviation back to his MySQL database. Believe it or not, he was actually having problems with people knowing their own state abbreviation. He had searched and found an example of what he wanted to do, but he couldn’t get it to work. So, I took the …

My New Job at Oracle: Working on MySQL Connector/Python

After more than 6 years doing MySQL Support for MySQL AB, Sun Microsystems, and Oracle, it’s time for a change. Time to get back to development!

As of November 2011 I’ll be working full-time on MySQL Connector/Python and other goodies within the MySQL development team at Oracle. Before, this was more or less a pet project done after working hours. However, with the birth of our son Tomas more than a year ago, I’ve been slacking and family got priority.

The idea is to make MySQL Connector/Python the best choice for connecting to MySQL from within your Python code. We still got …

A Tale of Two Conferences

Last week was a bumper week in London for MySQL users, DBAs & developers. We had the Oracle MySQL Developer Day and Percona Live London 2011. Both events were sold out, bringing in a good 300+ people to each event. From what I could tell the crowds were quite unique, so thats a good 600+ people interested in MySQL in London. The death and unpopularity of MySQL is greatly exaggerated.

At Oracle’s event, we naturally only had Oracle presenters. There was Simon Deighton (Sales Manager), Tony Holmes (Sales Consultant), …

Startup problems with 5.2.35? Get 5.2.35.1

In the latest release of MySQL Workbench (5.2.35), we received a number of reports that some people upgrading over a previous installation ended up in not being able to launch MySQL Workbench afterwards, instead receiving an error such as Access to the path ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.35\db_utils.pyc’ is denied. The cause for that seems to be a problem with access privileges on files that are created when Workbench is run. If you run into that problem, a possible workaround should be to start Workbench with elevated privileges one time. To do this, right-click the Workbench application icon in your startmenu and select “Run as administrator”. Please leave a comment whether this workaround solves the reported problem for you.

UPDATE: A new 5.2.35.1 msi package has been uploaded, which resolves this issue. You can download it from the …

Book Review – The Lean Startup by Eric Ries

Read the original article at Book Review – The Lean Startup by Eric Ries

What do you do after founding not one, but two companies and watching them fail miserably all by the time you were barely out of college?

Move to the Valley, make shrewd investments in other startups and become insanely rich like Sean Parker? A Bit lofty perhaps. How about try, try again and succeed. Then reinvent yourself as a guru dishing out startup wisdom through your blog and publishing a book that ends up the top of the New York Times Bestseller's list. That's essentially what Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup did.

True entrepreneurs fail many times before they succeed and continuously find opportunities to reinvent …
