Agenda includes speakers from Calpont, Codership/Galera, Craigslist, MariaDB, SkySQL and the OpenStack Foundation
Today, SkySQL and MariaDB jointly announce an exciting lineup of speakers for their MySQL and Cloud Solutions Day on Friday, April 26th, at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara. This year’s agenda will feature database and cloud tutorials, as well as keynotes, featuring speakers from Calpont, Codership, Craigslist, MariaDB, SkySQL and the OpenStack Foundation.
Here’s a solution to the not-so-long-standing issue of the Percona yum repo being broken for the CentOS 6 x86_64 version of the Percona-toolkit package. The repo listing is reporting an older version of the RPM which is not available on the site, so to fix this you just have to download the newer file and tell yum to add it locally. The side benefit is that you can use Yum to manage the RPM without adding the Percona repo, since the default settings for their repo could/have/had caused conflicts with Base Repo versions of MySQL packages; the Percona repo instructions set ‘enabled=1′ — not a great idea if you’re not setup to use the Yum priorities method of repo weighting.
So, if you see this after installing the repo via the
instructions on their site:

The Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo 2013 is almost 1 month away. It's time to start planning, set the expectations, and decide what to attend. This post will give a roundup of some of the sessions that I recommend attending and I look forward to.
First, the unexpected!
After much talk and disbelief, here they come! Oracle engineers will participate to the Percona Live conference. This is wonderful! Their participation was requested by the organizers, by the attendees, and by community advocates, who all told the Oracle management how important it is to be in this conference. Finally, they have …

[Read more]It’s not too soon to be thinking about what sessions you’ll be attending while at Percona Live: MySQL Conference & Expo 2013. SkySQL’s team of MySQL and MariaDB database experts will be headed to Santa Clara in full force as sponsors and speakers of this annual meeting for MySQL database users. As you plan out your week, be sure to check out some of SkySQL’s talks, including:
We are very honoured to have been asked to give a “state of the MySQL” keynote presentation at the Percona Live MySQL Conference and Expo in April.
While this will not be in any way an official “state of the dolphin” presentation, I think it is fitting given the expansion of the MySQL ecosystem that the Percona Live event includes an independent perspective on the state of MySQL. The full title of the presentation – MySQL, YourSQL, NoSQL, NewSQL – the state of the MySQL ecosystem – reflects that.
We want to present an independent perspective on the health of the MySQL ecosystem in 2013, drawing on our research and analysis, as well as the views of the participants in that ecosystem.
You have …

[Read more]It is a new year and it's time again to start thinking of all the great people and companies that make the MySQL ecosystem so great. It is time to start thinking of this year's MySQL Community Awards.
Last year we had a record number of winners, eleven goblets were handed out! But behind the scenes things were even more exciting, there were several ties that forced the panel to do extra tie-breaking voting rounds. In one category we even had a 6-way tie! All of this just testifies to how much is happening in the MySQL world nowadays.
