The slides for my session on Maatkit at the MySQL Conference are uploaded. They should appear on the speaker presentation files page, but I have heard that it can take a few days. Please let me know if they’re not there by May 1, 2009.
I did not have time to plow through everything in the slides. (I deliberately prepared more material than I could cover, and just stopped when I ran out of time.) Alas, I did not remember to take my voice recorder that day, so I have no audio to share with you!
As you may have noticed, Calpont has been advertising themselves as an open-source storage engine for MySQL. And yet there is no source code.
A bit of back-story. When we were choosing speakers for the Percona Performance Conference, I personally reviewed Calpont’s submission and sent them an email on March 19th:
I cannot confirm that this is an open-source columnar storage engine. I can’t find source code or a download of the software. Can you point me the right direction on that? I want to be sure we are describing things accurately.
The response was
Calpont is indeed going to be placed into …
[Read more]MySQL 5.4 was released this week at the MySQL conference, and billed as the “community release.” This seemed odd to some of us, and I heard lots of comment on it in the hallways. After all, the release was a surprise; the community didn’t know it was happening.
A source from within Sun, who is familiar with the details and wishes to remain anonymous, told me the story behind the release. I want to say that after this conversation, I fully support the release of 5.4 and I want to praise it generously. It is a great step in lots of right directions! It’s good for everyone. The secrecy was a necessary strategy.
The details must remain a secret, but perhaps someday it’ll be known.
Thank you Sun!

Having trouble finding the Percona Performance Conference? It’s upstairs near where the registration desk was (aka above the exhibition hall). Hope to see you there today & tomorrow!

[Read more]Yesterday was the surprise announcement of MySQL 5.4 at the 2009 MySQL Conference and Expo. It was unfortunate that the supporting information was not that forthcoming on the MySQL website. I tried for several hours to try and download, but no mirrors were initially available. Today I see some information on the mysql.com home page and finally able to get the binary.
What I found most significant with this new major version release is a change in the binary distribution, as seen on the Download page.
MySQL 5.4 is only available on 3 platforms:
On Tuesday at the MySQL Camp 2009 in Santa Clara I presented Setting up MySQL on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This presentation assumed you know nothing about AWS, and have no account. With Internet access via a Browser and a valid Credit Card, you can have your own running Web Server on the Internet in under 10 minutes, just point and click.
We also step into some more detail online click and point and supplied command line tools to demonstrate some more advanced usage.
