The Sunday before the MySQL User Conference is always full of trying to meet up with new or old friends, even if your flight lands after dinnertime. With that in mind, the very first event of the week is MySQL Camp’s “Games Day”.

From 12 noon until midnight on the Mezzanine of the Santa Clara Hyatt Hotel (adjoining the Santa Clara Convention Center), there will be an informal games day. The list of games that are definitely appearing are on the MySQL Forge at:

There is still one game I would like to see appear (Set), though there is plenty to keep folks busy — board games, a puzzle, decks of cards, even building toys. I’ll probably be knitting, so if you are the crafty sort and can bring your craft with you that’s …

You could set this up simply by adding the no_proxy option to the .curlrc file of the MEM  user to make the change permanent. Remember that to turn off the proxy for all connections, you would use:

$ setenv  no_proxy  '*'

I just can’t help thinking about how amazing and useful MySQL Sanbox is. There are so many things that it can do, and so many problems that it solves for Database Developers. When it comes down to it, I really think that every project that uses MySQL can benefit in some way or another just by using […]

I had a chance to test HP Smart Array P800 SAS RAID controller with HP Proliant DL380 G5 server with the following configurations:

• P800 Smart array with SAS interface
  • 25 disks, 10K RPM, 146G each
  • 512M cache
  • Battery backed

Here is the sysbench fileio random write performance numbers  for RAID-10 with the following …

... and this is my usual plea to those mysql/web/industrial folks to try out the latest code. Help us on our quest to scale the crap out of all of your stuff. :)

Find us on the mailing list, on #memcached on freenode, or on twitter as dormando, dlsspy, tmaesaka, and trondn. :) All others are fakers.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday I started to say what the status is for “Globalization” tasks.
Today I continue and finish.

Worklog WL#4579 Latin9 (iso-8859-15) character set
Current Status: architecture review done 2009-03-23.
Version = 6.1
It will be possible to create columns and variables with character set = latin9. It’s similar to latin1 and its collations correspond to latin1 collations. It doesn’t add functionality but might save on the conversion time to/from latin1 for a few people.
Example:
”
mysql> CREATE TABLE t
-> (s1 char(1) CHARACTER SET latin9
->             COLLATE latin9_german2_ci);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)
”

Worklog WL#4583 Case conversion in Asian character sets
Current Status: architecture review done 2009-02-19.
Version = …

0.7.0 is (finally) around the corner. We are only pushing some last minute build-fixes, but otherwise we are done.

If you want to help us getting a good 0.7.0 release out, please test the snapshot RPMs we did build with the help of OpenSuSEs build-service.

At http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=mysql-proxy-snapshot you will always find the latest snaptshot packages that we build from the latest launchpad code (everything > r640 is current). We have native binaries for Fedora 9 and 10 and OpenSuSE 11.0 and 11.1 right now.

If everything goes well, we should have a 0.7.0 release …
