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.
The files:

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 …

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

I was invited to give a short introduction to Ruby on Rails at Tech Meetup in Edinburgh a couple of days ago. I’d been racking my brain for days on what to talk about — 15 minutes is too short for me to give a meaningful introduction to Rails — and eventually settled on telling a few stories.
The slides don’t make much sense on their own, so I’ve included the “script” of what I talked about too. I deviated quite a bit from the script as I got into it, so hopefully I should be able to provide audio (or, dread the thought, maybe even video) of the talk in due course.
Intro
I’m Graeme. I’m the Managing Director of Rubaidh Ltd, and have been developing Ruby on Rails applications professionally for 3 years now.
Telling Stories
To be honest, I didn’t know what my audience this evening was going to be like. I wasn’t sure if …
