As we continue to see MySQL being implemented in bigger and more challenging environments, we are working to ensure Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQL (ZRM) matches this growth and provides a comprehensive, scalable backup management solution for MySQL that can easily integrate into any network backup infrastructure.
The latest release of ZRM for MySQL is a significant next step, bringing disk space and network usage optimization and enhanced backup reporting, along with simplified management to help configure backups quickly and intelligently. Additionally, ZRM for MySQL 3.5 now supports backup of MySQL Enterprise Edition, MySQL Community Edition, SkySQL, MariaDB, and MySQL databases running on latest versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu and Windows – giving you an open choice for your MySQL infrastructure, now and in future, …
[Read more]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]On Thursday, I will travel to Boston, MA, to attend the Northeast LinuxFest, which includes also an edition of the Open Database Camp. The events will be at one of my favorite places on earth: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a.k.a. the MIT. Every time I speak at an event there, I feel at home, and I look forward to be there once more.
The Open Database Camp is organized, as usual, with the formula of an un-conference, where the schedule is finalized on the spot.
There are a few ideas for sessions. I have proposed two of the topics I am most familiar with:
Canonical has just announced that the Ubuntu Developer Summit will no longer be face to face and every six months. Instead it will be entirely online and virtual, using Google Hangouts. (Here is the announcement.)
On the surface, this seems like a good idea: It's cheaper
monetarily, it appears to open things up to people who are unable
to travel, and it makes it easier to make complete records.
However, I think it's a bad idea, for several interrelated
reasons.
Some decision making needs face-time to happen. For whatever reasons, internet-only communication is not enough for a good enough "meeting of the minds" for sticky or subtle engineering and design decisionmaking.
The IETF, who probably have the longest history of any organization ever of online internet-enabled …
[Read more]This month is a special month. It’s not because of President’s Day or even the exciting day where we revel in groundhogs. No, this month is special because the free book give-away is happening again. This is where you, the reader, gets to win something free for doing nothing more than posting a comment saying that you want a copy of my recently published book – The InnoDB Quick Reference Guide from Packt Publishing. The book is a great reference for DBAs, PHP, Python, or Perl programmers that integrate with MySQL and want to learn more about the InnoDB database engine.
So, all you have to do is post a comment here saying that you want a copy and write out a single (or more) sentence about how you use InnoDB in your development or production environment. At the end of the month two readers will be chosen via a random list sorting script that …
