Meet MySQL’s everyday heroes

Lenz Grimmer and Duleepa Wijayawardhana have made a series of interviews with the everyday heroes of MySQL. Some are oldtimers, others are new. Some previously worked for MySQL AB, others joined our team through Sun. But all are part of the fabric of today’s MySQL.

Lenz and Dups asked a number of interesting questions from these guys:

MySQL 5.1 Memory Allocator Bake-Off

After getting sysbench running properly with a scalable memory allocator (see last post), I can now return to what I was originally testing - what memory allocator is best for the 5.1 server (mysqld).

This stems out of studies I have made of some patches that have been released by Google. You can read about the work Google has been doing here.

I decided I wanted to test a number of configurations based on the MySQL community source, 5.1.28-rc, namely:

  • The baseline - no Google SMP patch, default memory allocator (5.1.28-rc)
  • With Google SMP patch, mem0pool enabled, no custom malloc (pool)
  • With Google SMP patch, mem0pool enabled, linked with mtmalloc (pool-mtmalloc)
  • With Google SMP patch, mem0pool disabled, linked with tcmalloc (TCMalloc)
  • With Google SMP patch, mem0pool …

"Starring Sakila": a Data Warehousing mini-tutorial at the MySQL UC 2009

Hi!

Recently I wrote about how glad I was to see two of my proposals for the upcoming MySQL Conference approved.

I am absolutely thrilled to see my third proposal has been approved as well: "Starring Sakila: data warehousing explained, illustrated and subtitled". I'm very proud to announce that I'm doing this talk together with Matt Casters, chief data integration of Pentaho and creator of the popular ETL/Data Integration suite Kettle (a.k.a Pentaho data integration).

During this 45-minute seminar, Matt and I will take the …

On MySQL 5.1 going GA

When MySQL 5.1 first went GA I had the same knee jerk reaction as most of the community, “It’s not ready! There are still bugs!”. After thinking about it for a week or so I don’t think this matters. It’s true that MySQL isn’t really ready for GA but it doesn’t matter since most MySQL users I know wait several releases before even trying out a new GA release anyway. This varies wildly of course. Some users love the bleeding edge while others are still back on 4.1. This isn’t MySQL specific either. We do the same thing with most software. I don’t like that MySQL changed their requirements for a RC candidate to move 5.1 along but for most users it doesn’t matter. We will sit quietly and wait for 5.1 to stabilize before even thinking about deploying it. I’ll give it another six months.

A disruptive giftwrap offering and my letter to Santa

Messy gift-wrapping service 'Crapwrap' launched by gadget retailer Firebox

I reckon this is quite brilliant, and I think a nice example of a disruptive offering whereby the existing market is actually overservering the needs of a group of clients. So these guys take "good enough" to a whole other level, and it doesn't even have to be cheaper. Very cool.

And on that note...Dear Santa,
Can I please please have USB pencil sharpener for xmas?
Many of my training students and conference attendees have one of the illustrious Open Query transactional writing implements (with rollback), made from recycled newspaper (tightly rolled up, you can read it while sharpening!) but I actually haven't got a proper USB sharpener for it yet. I would take it with me while travelling, but the main problem has been …

Wordcraft 0.6 available

I am pleased to announce the release of Wordcraft 0.6.  I have been using it for a month or so now and I am learning some things.

I had been having trouble logging in lately from multiple places.  So, instead of trying to work on the built in session handling I had written, I took my own advice (use stuff that exists) and just switched to PHP sessions.  All the cookie stuff is worked out and I can get a lot done with just a little work.  PHP sessions make me a little nervous.  If you have lots of applications installed on the same site that use them, you can get some odd behavior.  But, why reinvent the wheel right?

I have found myself wanting to save a post while working on it.  To do that before, I would have to uncheck the Published box.  To solve this, I changed the behavior of the Save …
