We’re having a Drizzle Developer Day just after the MySQL Conference and Expo next week. You don’t have to be attending the conference to come to the Drizzle Developer Day. Just bring your enthusiasm for free databases, Drizzle and good software. Spaces are limited, so head on over to the signup page and fill in your name if you haven’t already

If coming from the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara (where the MySQL Conference and Expo is), at least I will be driving from there, so let me know if you want a lift.

Most notable, after the session, we continued the cultural exchange to a local restaurant that bears my name (correctly spelled!), where this heap of bread caught my eye. Thanks to …

Sure, you've heard it before: [some company's logo] has a new MySQL backup tool that promises to solve all of your data recovery needs. The good news is most of these tools work pretty well. However, they tend to suffer from a similar set of limitations. Most require sophisticated infrastructures or complex setup and maintenance and can become a resource drain for some organizations. You're probably wondering, "Why can't someone build a fully automated MySQL backup solution that you can just turn on and forget?"

I am happy to say that the MySQL Developers at Sun are doing just that. In fact, a prototype will be demonstrated at the 2009 MySQL Users' Conference that will show the feasibility of a fully automated MySQL backup and recovery tool. It's being called the MySQL Time Machine and (with all due respect to all vendors with products of similar names) it allows you to recover your data using a datetime value. How cool is that? Even MySQL …

I introduced Olio a little while ago as a toolkit to help web developers and deployers as well as performance/operations engineers. Olio includes a web2.0 application as well as the necessary software required to drive load against it. Today, we are showcasing the first major deployment of Olio on Sun's newest Intel Nehalem based systems - the SunFire X2270 and the SunFire X4270. We tested 10,000 concurrent users (with a database of 1 million users) using over 1TB of storage in the unstructured object store.

The diagram below shows the configuration we tested.

The Olio/PHP web application was deployed on two X2270 systems. Since these systems …

This feature has requested many times, and I have been reluctant to implement it, because it involved fiddling with the internals of low_level_make_sandbox, which should behave differently depending on the base directory. An installed BASEDIR has a different structure than a source BASEDIR. In …
