A few days ago, I posted a blog on monitoring MySQL Cluster / NDB
with the aid of MyQuery accessing the ndbinfo tables. Now, there
are more ways than that to query the status of MySQL Cluster /
NDB, you can use the MGMAPI, which is the low level API used to
monitor and manage a NDB Cluster setup.So, if this API is
available, and is accessible from C, and MyQuery has the ability
to be extended with DLLs written in C or C++, then why not create
a MyQuery plugin for managing a NDB Cluster? Tell you what, that
is already part of MyQuery, which has by the way had a few
bugfixes and is now up to version 3.3.4.
To get started, if you haven't done so already, download MyQuery
and install it, and make sure to install the plugins / User
defined tools. Once you have done that we are sort-of ready to
go, but first a few words pf caution regarding the
sourcecode.
If you haven't used any of the NDB low-level APIs, i.e. NDBAPI

I wanted to drop a quick note and let everyone know I am going to be speaking at an IOUG event on 9/28/2010 in Downtown Chicago. I will be targeting DBA’s, Developers, and users who want to know more about MySQL but do not have the time to devote a ton of time to learning everything little thing. I will be covering DBA 101 tasks in my 5 minute DBA talk, Developer & DBA common mistakes, common high availability architectures, and talking about the various versions, forks, and patches of MySQL that are floating around in the community.

I hope to see you there.
When I blogged about microblogging using Twitter a while ago, I
got some suggestions regarding Identi.ca in the comments. I did not know about
Identi.ca at that time, but decided to give it a try. Identi.ca
is a service like Twitter based on StatusNet, an open source microblogging
platform. After using both services in parallel for a while, with
constant frustration about the unreliable Identi.ca -> Twitter
gateway, I now finally decided to completely drop my account on
Twitter.
Unfortunately something got miserably wrong while playing with
the Identi.ca -> Twitter gateway last week, I somehow lost all
my subscribers and subscriptions, so please …

[Read more]MySQL Cluster in iBooks
MySQL documentation has now been made available in ePub format (fetch the MySQL Cluster versions from http://dev.mysql.com/doc/index-cluster.html ). This format is intended for various book readers.
I’ve tried it on 2 iPhone applications; Apple’s iBooks and the iPhone version of Stanza. The documents render well in both applications but as with most reference books you get the best results if you reduce the font size so that you get more on the screen at once.
With both applications, you can add the books through iTunes but Stanza also has the advantage that if you browse to the document in Opera on the iPhone then it gives you the option of opening it in Stanza – cutting out the need to use iTunes. I also …

[Read more]I'm the boards of two companies (Pentaho, Revolution Analytics) that are starting to see a lot of customer traction around Big Data. More and more companies in media, pharma, retail and finance are doing advanced analysis, reporting, graphing, etc with massive data sets. It made me wonder what other areas of the technology stack might evolve with the trend towards Big Data. Obviously, there's new middleware layers like Hadoop and Map Reduce, and we're also seeing the emergence of NoSQL data management layers with Cassandra, MongoDB, MemBase and others. But what …
[Read more]While Mark was looking at MongoDB, I was playing comparing various aspects of MySQL and Postgres performance. Certain PG performance numbers I saw (40kqps vs 110kqps from MySQL) made me really upset, so I ended up discussing with people at #postgresql – and started comparing various versions/configurations/machines/etc.
Apparently 2.6.32 kernel, which is in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) and is also basis for future RHEL6 kernel has nearly 20% performance degradation for PG (though not for MySQL, phew) – and apparently it was news to their community (I have started an email thread, will see where it goes).
While I was doing my research, of course I could observe plenty of gems of wisdom:
