This week, Sarah's off, and Sheeri interviews Brian Aker of Data Differential, mostly about the MySQL Ecosystem.
Among the topics discussed are whether the MySQL Ecosystem has peaked yet, the exciting talks coming up at the O'Reilly MySQL Conference including the state of the community keynote, and when the Drizzle software is going GA.
Some parts of the MySQL Ecosystem that were mentioned:
phpmyadmin
Percona Server
Percona free InnoDB hot backup tool
As Hakan mentioned previously, the full text of SQL-99 Complete, Really by Peter Gulutzan and Trudy Pelzer, is now in the AskMonty.org Knowledgebase. Importing the text and formatting it for the Knowledgebase was a major project and I’m glad that it’s done.
Having the full text of this book freely available is a great thing for anyone who uses SQL because the book is about the SQL-99 standard and not about any particular database implementation. They do talk about different implementations, but those sections are clearly marked as such, and serve as examples of how some databases implement (or diverge from) the standard.
The question now is: What’s …

I was happy to see the announcement yesterday from Tokutek regarding their addition of MariaDB to their list of supported platforms for the TokuDB storage engine.
One particular item in the press release caught my eye: “Our customers are choosing MariaDB more and more frequently for their most demanding database applications.” We’ve added many new features over the past year in our various 5.1 and 5.2 releases, but beyond the new goodies we’ve focused a lot of energy on removing bugs and improving performance. We’ve known for a while that MariaDB is the …
[Read more]The follow-up blog post on moving your MySQL applications to CouchDB has been posted on the CouchOne blog. Part 2 digs into a bit more detail on the specifics of views, and how to perform some of the more common operations used in MySQL, such as paging and aggregation in your CouchDB view.

I’ve started a little series on how to migrate your MySQL applications and databases over to CouchDB. Most of the process is about how you think about your data, not about the database itself, the application, or the interface to the database storage. There are some use cases for data storage that lend themselves to the CouchDB document model that provides some advantages over the table-based structure in MySQL. The first part of the series is Moving from MySQL to CouchDB: Part 1.

JavaOne Latin America 2010 (Day 1 and 0) started in an exciting way where I found a
nice multi-instance cluster installation of GlassFish. More on
that later but enjoyed meeting colleagues from different groups
within Oracle.
I gave a presentation on "Whats New in Enterprise Java Beans 3.1"
and the slides are available:
S314168 - What's New in Enterprise Java Bean
Technology @ JavaOne Brazil 2010
The attendees seem to like simplified packaging (EJB-in-a-WAR and
deployment descriptor-free), no-interface bean, cron-like syntax,
and other features were well appreciated by the users. All other …
