A little late to post (I’ve known a while), but I thought I’d plug my talk for any interested readers out there, that are going to the conference, and use MEM!
I’m talking about Extending MySQL Enterprise Monitor with Custom Advisors, Graphs and Data Collections.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with the team that writes the MEM software (the “Enterprise Tools” team, internally and lovingly known as the “Merlin Team“, the codename that has survived various renames of the product!) for a little over 3 years now. I can’t say I was there at it’s conception, but I started working with them before the initial release of the product, and have watched (and I like to think helped shape) the product very closely whilst being the “Support Coordinator” for the Support Team for MEM. It’s …

Introduction
This article describes how to migrate data from MySQL database to any other database, for example, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, or PostgreSQL one, using Data Export feature of dbForge for MySQL products. To illustrate it, we will move data from table actor and the query result from sakila database that exist on MySQL server to the schema SCOTT on Oracle server. To see the screenshots in full size, just click them.
About Data Export Feature
Data Export feature is part of dbForge Studio for MySQL and dbForge Fusion for MySQL products. It represents a customizable tool for data exporting …
[Read more]There are some basic, golden rules when it comes to having a vibrant community of contributors.
The following are rules I have extracted and learned based on my experience managing and working with engineers actively involved and participating in the Apache/Derby, PostgreSQL and MySQL open-source communities. These rules are also based on extensive discussions with many folks involved with the MySQL community, with the PostgreSQL community and with the Apache/Derby (Java DB) community, over many years.
Before I go through these rules, I would like to thank Marten
Mickos for having suggested some of the headings for these rules.
(I originally had much longer headings for all of them.) I would
also like to thank many of MySQL, PostgreSQL and Java DB
colleagues, as well as to many other colleagues involved in
open-source development, for having contributed to the ideas and
practices behind these rules.

[Read more]Is there any reason for not supporting innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT on Mac OS X? Today I wrote a tiny patch to enable O_DIRECT on MySQL running on Mac OS X, and it seems to work fine. (mysql-5.1.30-osx-o_direct.patch)
Although I do not think it is a good idea to use Mac OS X as a database server (since it's I/O system calls are slow compared to other OSes, at least until Snow Leopard is released), having O_DIRECT support would be better than none in some cases.
John Lilly, CEO of Mozilla, shares some insights and thoughts on Mozilla, and its a most interesting presentation to go through. The insights are (drizzled with some of my comments):
As you may know, Open Query is entirely self-funded, which means
the banks owe OQ and me money not vice versa. Things like
interest rates are of little concern, which is helpful in
volatile times! Of course I do rely on my bank staying in
business, but that's now subject to a government guarantee in
Australia so I'll just have to go with that for now ;-)
So far, OQ has not experienced much from the economic troubles.
But I'll tell you about the possible encounters, since I think
they're of interest and lessons can be learnt.
We give away one book to each student at a training day, that is,
provided they've paid on time (basically a personalised quick
payment bonus). I've got a small shortlist of decent books, but
generally I've been handing out copies of …
I realize I’m running a bit late with my MySQL Conference speaking announcement this year, nonetheless yes I will be in Santa Clara again just as in 2007 and 2008. This time I won’t be doing a talk by myself or with Phil as in the last two years, but rather with Joachim Worringen from our technology partner Dolphin.
Our talk, titled Database High Availability with a Punch: MySQL with DRBD for Dolphin Express, is currently scheduled for Thursday, April 23.
