The OpenSQLCamp started yesterday in Charlottesville,
VA.
As expected, the gathering is impressive. There are many well
known names from the open source database world. MySQL is
probably overrepresented, but that's fair, considering its wide
adoption.
Yesterday was an informal "meet anyone and let's see what we do
tomorrow". The schedule, as you can see, is very dynamic.

One of the new features in the new release of MySQL Enterprise Monitor is Query Analyzer. As the name suggests, the Query Analyzer provides information about the queries that are running on your server, the response times and row and byte statistics. The information provided is great, and it doesn’t take very long to see from the query data supplied that there are places where you could improve the the query, or even reduce the number of queries that you submit.
The system works by using the functionality of the MySQL Proxy to monitor the queries being executed and then provide that information up to the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager so that the information can be displayed within the Query Analyzer page. To get the queries monitored, you have to send the queries through the agent which both monitors their execution and sends the information on up to the Manager, along with all the other data being monitored.
The team, …

Sun's Customer Engineer Conference is now
history and over forty new Certified MySQL Associates are on
the street. Track 15 aka MySQL was a new session for Sun and CEC
was new for George and yours truely.
George Trujillo did a wonderful job, as he always does, in
getting a large room full of people with various skills up to
speed with MySQL. Three sessions a day most for three days after
a long Monday were tough but the folks in Track 15 hung in there.
A few had Oracle or other database experience but most were new
to the subject. By Thursday night they were replicating
databases. Zero to replication in eight sessions. That is
very impressive.
This morning was my turn and the candidates listened intently to
my brief review and then tore into the test. As they finished, I
made a point …

Just arrived to Charlottesville, VA, with Dups. We drove from Baltimore, MD, where we had an enjoyable MySQL meetup yesterday. The room was small, but packed to capacity with open source enthusiasts. Now waiting for the "opening ceremony" at 6pm, when we will fine tune tomorrow's schedule. The list of attendees is impressive. More than 100 people are registered. It seems to be a very interesting gathering. |

I just read the news.
I don't know about you, but I was pretty much expecting this.
Even though it may cost me my job, I am glad they bit the bullet
and cut 15%. We're just burning too much cash and the size of the
company didn't match its current market cap.
How do I feel? Relieved, in a way, because I knew it was coming.
Am I affected? I have no idea. Nobody's telling the peeps yet,
that will happen in the next few weeks.
Software is getting seriously reorganized. NetBeans is now part
of the cloud computing platform. Why? My blog, my opinion:
because I think Sun gets it that what Sun can offer in this space
is a developer platform. Amazon Web Services is a bunch of cogs
and wheels targeted at system …
