The InnoDB plugin is now merged into the Drizzle mainline. There is still one weird outstanding bug that I know of. Why is this exciting? The main things found in the plugin that I’m excited about are:
- New compressed table format.
- Adding or dropping indexes can now bypass the table copy
- Information Schema plugins with InnoDB internals data
Not to mention, something tells me that the plugin will be getting more dev attention, and should be easier to track moving forward.
I’ve been doing my best to make the changes in such a way that they could be potentially merged back into the plugin upstream, should Oracle care to. (which I hope they will)

or timebound ? or don't you have any load on your DB at all ?
I personally don't see many reasons to virtualize your database, apart from the , we plan to start small and scale out, or the we need it now and we don't have the hardware yet , putting your database on a virtual platform where you have to share resources with other virtual machines doesn't really sound like a tempting proposition to me. Small, almost idle databases , maybe. But enterprise production level databases no thnx.
Sheeri Cabral also mentions the above reasons .. and there also .. Enterprise Production use isn't listed.
Databases typically require a good amount of memory , and steady
disk access.
So if you are in a production environment with a fairly loaded
database, would you want a 4Gb machine with full direct memory
access, Or 3.5Gb of virtual …

Recipe for conference talks: add a buzzword like "sharding" and show how mysqlnd helps you with asynchronous queries. Only two PHP database extensions give you asynchronous queries: mysqlnd and Postgres.

OmniSQL (a command line tool for DBAs needing to issue ad-hoc queries against sharded data) version 0.0.7 is officially released. Instead of logging in separately to multiple databases to issue the same query, groups of databases can be specified in a configuration file and queries will be automatically issued against all targeted MySQL instances. Let me know [...]

Greetings! I have released Version 0.7 of the Memcached Functions
for MySQL. This release mainly consists of modifications to the
autoconf/automake files that caused some users problems linking
to libmemcached, hence the UDFs failing. This should fix that
problem, although I would like to make the "fix" I made a better
fix.
BTW, did I mention how much autoconf/automake perplexes me and
drives me crazy at times?!
The release can be found at:
