Yahoo! in cloud OR Hadoop? (Яху в облаках) by Alexander & Natalie
tl;dr: Yahoo adds SmugMug support to Profiles. Windows Live coming. Lots of other services, too.
Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Woke up this morning to this story on TechCrunch about 20 new services they’d added to Yahoo Profiles (here’s mine). Lo and behold, SmugMug is one of them! …

In MySQL 5.0, InnoDB gained the ability to use Linux Large Page
support for allocating memory for the buffer pool and additional
memory pool.
A few customers have asked about using it and there is virtually
no documentation on what is required on Linux to enable it. I
actually ended up having to read some of the Linux kernel source
code to figure out some of this.
This uses the API as documented at:
http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt
To set this up and use it, you first need a kernel that supports
it. All of the recent RHEL kernels do by default from what I can
tell. On my Ubuntu systems, I'm not seeing it enabled
normally.
Then on the OS level you will need to do the following
procedures:

Last year when Sun acquired MySQL I did a tour of a few of the
campuses meeting different engineers to see what they did with
Sun. At some point last year I met up with a group in Menlo Park
who had been working on a webserver at Sun. Low and behold it was
the evolutionary grandchild of what was the Netscape Enterprise
Server. After talking to the engineers I wrote a few internal
letters to see if we could push the code out as BSD so that
others could learn/use/maybe even migrate if they wanted to. I am
happy to say that Sun has decided to make the release
happen:
This marks another milestone in the very long history of this web
server. Back in the 90's this was the Netscape Enterprise Server, which later morphed
into the iPlanet Web Server during the Sun|Netscape Alliance.
After some years it was renamed the SunONE Web Server and most …
This actually sounds very interesting. I'm almost tempted to take it. If you're looking at developing RIAs, it might be worth your time to really explore JavaFX this way. I like that they make you do homework :) Having been a mentor numerous times, I know the value of regular accountability to help you actually *do* something...

A nice demo showing off some of the features of the new PHP editor in NetBeans 6.5. Justin's the same guy who'll be doing the talk at the MySQL Conference on building a Twitter/PHP/MySQL/Yahoo UI app in NetBeans.
A couple days ago, Andrew posted a news item titled Sphinx goes billions to the Sphinx web site.
Last but not least, Powered By section, now at 113 sites and counting, was updated and restyled. I had long wondered how much Sphinx search queries are performed per month if we sum all the sites using it, and whether we already hit 1B page views per month or not. Being open-source, there's no easy way to tell. But now with the addition of craigslist to Powered By list I finally know that we do. Many thanks to Jeremy Zawodny who worked hard on making that happen, my itch is no more. :-)
Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag! …

I'm pleased to announce the release of DBD::drizzle 0.003. In
this release, I've made many changes, particularly those to get
it working with the stock drizzle client library, which is a bit
of a moving target, but that's how it goes with new,
quickly-evolving projects.
Caveat: This is an Alpha release.
I've added back the tests from DBD::mysql and modified them to
work with Drizzle. Some pass just fine, others report 'out of
memory'. I hope to figure this out soon, though this is that last
version where I'll use the client library that comes with
Drizzle. I'll be changing to using Eric Day's improved client
library, libdrizzle, and maybe in the process of changing
to that, will squash these bugs.

Setting, Changing And Resetting MySQL Root Passwords
This tutorial explains how you can set, change and reset (if you've forgotten the password) MySQL root passwords. Time and again I see problems like mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'. So I thought it's time to remind you how to solve MySQL related password problems. If you are just looking for a quick fix how to reset a MySQL root password you can find that at the bottom of this tutorial.
Welcome to the 131st edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs.
Fundamentals are always a good place to start, so let’s do that courtesy Craig Mullins of Data Management Today. Craig’s fundamental question is, what does a DBA do? A good one for blank-faced relatives and dinner-party companions.
Perhaps you’re just a little blank-faced too, a least on the subject of DB2 LUW? If so, Susan Visser of Build your Skill on DB2 shows the way forward with a compilation of …
[Read more]MySQL runs on lots of Operating SystemsThe MySQL database server runs with more different operating systems than any other database. The reason being is not only does it run on all the popular operating systems but you can download the source, make a few tweaks and run it on any operating system (if you're a bit twiddler). Yet the place where you're likely to see MySQL the most is with LAMP
