This month, Alex Roedling interviews Software Development Manager Reggie Burnett about MySQL on Windows.
Reggie covers Connector/NET, integration with Visual Studio, MySQL Workbench, the new MySQL installer for Windows, the new external authentication module for Windows, and more...
And, a quick reminder that if you’re either attending Oracle OpenWorld or in the bay area next Tuesday, we hope to see you at the MySQL Community Reception!
With Oracle Open World in the offing, Oracle and MySQL bloggers and professionals are flocking to either San Fransisco or to their blogs to relish this annual medley of technologies under one roof. This Log Buffer Edition covers that and much more in Log Buffer #240. Oracle: Alex Gorbachev wants to show what kind of [...]
Proof-of-concept Tungsten support for MongoDB arrived last
May, when I posted about our hackathon effort to replicate from MySQL to
MongoDB. That code then lay fallow for a few months
while we worked on other things like parallel replication, but
the period of idleness has ended. Earlier this week I
checked in fixes to Tungsten Replicator to add one-line installation support for MongoDB
slaves.
MySQL to MongoDB replication will be officially supported in the
Tungsten Replicator 2.0.5 build, which will be available in a few
weeks. However, you can try out MySQL to MongoDB …

Today we've released a few things for PHP and MySQL users: One is the first (and probably only) beta of the mysqlnd_ms plugin for MySQL Replication and Load Balancing support and the first GA version of a PHP plugin for the Query Analyzer of the MySQL Enterprise Monitor.
Ulf blogged a
lot about mysqlnd_ms, so I don't have to repeat him here.
what I want to talk about is the other one. So what is that
about?
When running a PHP-based application with MySQL it is often quite interesting to see what actually happens on the database sever. Besides monitoring of the system load etc. it is often interesting to see what queries are actually executed and which of them are expensive. A part of MySQL Enterprise Monitor is the MySQL Query …

From the 451 Group:
“MySQL flirted with the open core licensing model in early 2008
with plans to introduce new features into Enterprise Edition that
would not be available under an open source license.”
MySQL didn’t flirt with, it was going to do it.
Why? Because we were asking the question, “how do we pull in
customers to make more money”.
MySQL was going to put the new backup API, which never
materialized, into an Enterprise branch.
It was a lousy idea for the following reasons:
1) There was no internal API in the server for this, so the
engineering was going to be messy and expensive.
2) We didn’t own the technology that was needed to even do this
(Oracle owned Hot Backup)
3) Percona has an awesome tool for doing …

Help! How To Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done
I've long overcome that sheepish feeling when browsing the Self-help section at the bookstore. Sure, How to Make Friends and Influence People or the Seven Steps to World Domination in your bookcase aren't exactly the sort of titles to suggest a deep intellect but I like to keep an open mind when checking out the latest hardcover secret to happiness and prosperity. Basically I try not to diss a book just because it's got "soup" on the cover.
I will concede that publishers have …
[Read more]Could pro-waitering serve up some lessons on web scalability? Observing peak hour dining at a New York restaurant gave us some insight.
I was dining at a restaurant the other day with friends. It was a warm and cozy place, nicely decorated with a long, narrow dining room. The food was scrumptious, yet we were getting increasingly frustrated by the service as the night went along.
With some waiting experience behind me, I could immediately see the problem. The waiters, probably through lack of experience, were making the mistake of doing one thing at a time. They would go to a table, respond to one customer's request, and go and fetch that item. Back and forth, back and forth they would dart, but always dealing with …
