Come and meet us at the INTED2009 conference in Valencia, Spain in March of 2009. Walter has just been accepted to submit a paper and do an oral presentation during the conference. INTED is a conference about technology and education. From the INTED2009 website: “The general objective of the conference is to promote international collaboration in the fields [...]

The MySQL packages in Debian still do not (and will never) include inofficial feature patches (beside the redirect output of error.log to syslog in MySQL 5.0, which is now part of the official MySQL 5.1 releases) like the ones from Percona or Google. Of course we add important bugfixes from newer (not yet released) versions of MySQL, but no feature patches.

If you are interested in a patched version of the Debian MySQL packages, take a look at OurDelta, their builds include patches (complete list) like mirrored binlog and InnoDB freeze. Upgrading from the official Debian packages of MySQL to the builds from OurDelta should work without problems, but please use …

This week MySQL released version 5.0.75 of their Community Edition. The package in testing is in good shape, so I had time to prepare and upload 5.0.75-1 to unstable, but it should work on testing as well. I also made a rebuild for etch, which is available here.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who has helped translating messages for Drizzle so far.

Secondly, congratulations to Dutch and French speakers, since you have translations of all translatable strings! (so far, Mark Atwood is working on an overhaul of the error message system, so I imagine we'll find some more strings that need work)

Italian speakers are close - there are only 76 of 1413 messages untranslated.

After the top three, things fall off a bit. German has 744 untranslated, English (UK) has 905 untranslated (although honestly, there probably aren't that many needing translation). Spanish has 1019 untranslated, Norwegian Bokmal has 1049 and Brazillian Portuguese has 1078. Hindi and Polish round out the top ten with 1243 and 1251 untranslated respectively.

So good job everybody, and thanks for all the hard work! For anyone who wants to pitch in who hasn't, you can just head over to …

Hi all,

As I mentioned in a previous blog entry, big changes are underway to the database connection connection node in NetBeans 7.0. If you look at the image above, you'll see what I mean. In the connection that is highlighted, no schema was selected when the connection was made, thus "default" is displayed as the schema.

When the schema is default, all schemas are displayed under the connection node when it is expanded. When you expand the schema, you'll see a familiar sight: the Tables, Views, and Procedures folders.

Individual database connections are also displayed as separate nodes below, even with default schemas.

Be sure to stay tuned for changes.

Happy Holidays!

Can you use TRIGGERs to increase performance? Really? Isn't so that a TRIGGER on a table will reduce performance, just as any FOREIGN KEYs will? Right?

Nope, none of those statements is necessarily very true. In the case of reads, for example, neither TRIGGERs, nor FOREIGN KEYs has any negative impact at all. Then, assuming we have a read-intensive system, such as some website, then performance isn't much of an argument for not using triggers or foreign keys.

You already know I'm quite a fan of foreign keys. Let me reiterate why I like them: They keep my data integrity intact, that's why. The argument that if I have transactions, then the only thing that might cause data integrity to fail is if there is a bug in the application. There are two things I have to say against that:

• 
  
• Many, if not most, users use more than one application. For example, if nothing else, the mysql …

I’ve been thinking about the business of what’s variously come to be called commercial open-source and enterprise open-source. I’m interested in the gestalt — the product, development processes, marketing, licensing and so on.

MySQL has tried many different ways to earn money. These include dual licensing, support subscriptions, a knowledgebase, consulting, an Enterprise/Community split, [...]

Our Mac Developers have done an outstanding job in catching up with the Mac frontend. We have worked hard in the last days to get a little Christmas present out for all people waiting for a Mac Version of our Database Tool.
It’s a 1st alpha version, so don’t expect a full blown design application already - and the binary is Intel only this time (hey, it’s only Christmas folks ;).  But what we deliver is a working UI where you can load/save existing Workbench-documents and create diagrams from imported SQL-scripts. The canvas and the GRT system is up and running and there’s a shell which enables messing with the objects on GRT level. There are no object editors yet (so you can’t create and edit objects, but still build your diagrams for your existing SQL CREATE scripts) and wizards for exporting scripts, and connecting to databases are also missing. But enough writing, grab the .dmg package from our server and give it a try to get …
