Roland’s giving his talk on MySQL Stored Procedures at the e Dutch PHP conference. Mostly basics, but with a good extended focus on how work with SPs from PHP.
It’s obviously something that interests people: Quite an audience has shown up even though most have never even gotten as far as reading the manual sections on SPs, much less attempted to use them.
Highlights:
mysqlnd is a native driver for PHP, i.e. it’s
written in pure PHP and does not depend on libmysql. Should be …I’m working with Roland in the Netherlands in the next couple of days, and we timed the visit to coincide with the Dutch PHP conference taking place today.
I just attended the Zend framework presentation by Gaylord Aulke of
Zend.
There were some good pointers, among which was that there is
currently some 60+ PHP MVC implementations out there all with
different strengths and weaknesses. The Zend framework aims not
only at implementing MVC, but also ads a “Meta-framework” of
defining coding styles, etc. And — perhaps most importantly for
many — ensuring that every component in the framework carries the
same license terms.
The framework is expected to be released as v. 1.0 Real Soon Now(tm), being in final RC at the moment.

I'm back from the MySQL EMEA Support Team meeting.. and it was
just fantastic!
Most know that MySQL is a virtual company and we don't see to
much colleagues. Most goes via our internal IRC server, email and
phone. However, we in Support for example, try to meet up each
year. This year we did it a bit differently by actually gathering
and actively doing support together (in Bielefeld, Germany). You
know, like in a real office!
The cool thing about the EMEA Support Team, and I can safely say
this for the global Support Team, is that we simple play along
very well. Each of us comes with baggage of experience when
joining MySQL. Most importantly, we think mostly alike. When we
disagree we settle or make it better. For people only meeting up
once a year or less it is just spectacular!
It's also lots of fun and drinking beers, socializing and
sleeping together.. I mean sharing rooms! Fact that I had my …
Made some commits to my proxy for MySQL tonight. These are
significant enough that they warrant another preview post.

git clone http://consoleninja.net/code/dpm/dpm.git - to get
the latest code, always
http://consoleninja.net/code/dpm/dpm-export.tar.gz
- a tarball of the latest code, for those unwilling to git.
This feels more like a "real" preview now. Aside from one silly
bug, it looks like I fixed most of the really bad stability
issues. There're still a handful left, but I was pretty abusive
just now and wasn't able to break it.
Grab it, build it, read the README.

Diary: Saturday 16th June 2007
Today, Miss She-BA Sheeri Kritzer married partner Tony in Boston. For those that remember, Sheeri was the 2007 Community Advocate of the Year at the MySQL Conference.
The official photos and videos are already up, so I’ve add my snaps online now. This was an excellent day, it had some the best planning I’ve seen in a …

Well, the foundations for the Traffic Analyzer module were
finally laid today; the basic classes of the module are now up in
the SVN repository.
So far I've only constructed the classes for Unix and not
Windows, I've created a separate branch for the Windows code but
the associated directory is currently empty. Of course, there may
be source files which will end up being common to both branches,
however I don't think that maintaining a more complex directory
structure in order to have both branches share common source
files is something that's currently necessary (or something I
currently know how to do!).
So right now the Traffic Analyzer can detect packet traffic and
deconstruct packets sequentially using some clever pointer logic
and special structs; nothing new there. There are a few command
line arguments that the user can use to customize how the program
runs and I've even included the old ConfigReader class from …
I’m surprised to see so little being said about the First Discussion draft of the Affero GPL v3. I see only 9 comments as of 9PM PDT 6/13. That’s not very many.
Perhaps the reason is that the only difference is the single paragraph in Section 13 which states:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must give all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
Fabrizio here seems bullish on the new license and goes on to say:
Bottom line: if GPL v3 and AGPL v3 are exactly the same document and are 100% compatible, why would an open …
[Read more]MySQL AB today published a "Do's & Don'ts" summary article on the 'Top 5 Common Scale-Out Pitfalls to Avoid' -- based on the real-world experiences of the vendor's veteran professional services team.
