tl;dr: The MySQL community rocks. Percona, XtraDB, Drizzle, SSD storage, InnoDB IO scalability challenges.
For anyone who lives and dies by MySQL and InnoDB, things are finally starting to heat up and get interesting. I’ve been banging the “MySQL/InnoDB scales poorly” drums for years now, and despite having paid Enterprise licenses, I haven’t been able to get anywhere. I was pretty excited when Sun …

Oh well, we know the Obama team is quite technology savvy and want to run the administration on the state of the art computer technologies. As an example, Obama campaign website used MySQL on the backend.
So then, can Cloud Computing benefits lure the administration? Security and Technology experts discuss on national public radio if Cloud Computing will work for the White House and how their computers should run. Kevin L.

Just in time for Christmas: After the usual 2-week beta test
phase, we can now announce the new "final" XAMPP version for
public downloading.
In both versions we updated Apache (2.2.11), MySQL (5.1.30), PHP
(5.2.8) and phpMyAdmin (3.1.1). The Linux version also contains
the new MySQL storage engine PBXT (1.0.07-rc).
With this version our support of PHP 4 ends and from this version
on PHP 4 is no longer shipped with XAMPP. After PHP 4 was
officially no longer supported since the end of 2007 this was
just a matter of time.

database generation. If you're upgrading from MySQL 5.0 please

Noch rechtzeitig zu Weihnachten: Nach der üblichen 2-wöchigen
Beta-Phase können wir heute die neue "finale" XAMPP-Versionen zum
öffentlichen Download anbieten.
Aktualisiert wurden in diesem XAMPP: Apache (2.2.11), MySQL
(5.1.30), PHP (5.2.8) und phpMyAdmin (3.1.1). Die Linux-Version
enthält zusätzlich auch noch die MySQL Storage Engine PBXT
(1.0.07-rc).
Mit dieser XAMPP-Version endet auch unsere Unterstützung von PHP
4, d. h. ab dieser Version wird PHP 4 nicht mehr mit
ausgeliefert. Nachdem PHP 4 seit Ende 2007 offiziell nicht mehr
"supported" wird, war das die logische Konsequenz.
Dafür ist endlich die neue Generation der MySQL-Datenbank 5.1 als
GA-Version erschienen und nun auch im XAMPP mit dabei.
