Zmanda today announced that its Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) for MySQL is now available with the Zmanda Management Console -- a set of powerful graphical tools designed to simplify and accelerate the complex process of MySQL database backup and recovery. ZRM with the Zmanda Management Console can dramatically reduce the workload of a MySQL database administrator (DBA) while providing enterprise-class, MySQL-specific backup and recovery.
Here is a perfect photo from James Duncan Davidson that illustrates the drive and ambition of Mårten Mickos, our fearless leader, battling with an unfortunate competitor at the Ubuntu Live party on Sunday. Look closely to see the gritty resolve in Mårten's face. Arms outstretched. Teeth clenched. Clearly a ferocious competitor at heart.
In other news, a bunch of us — Kaj, Monty, Brian, Zack, Kelly, and myself — are up here in Portland at OSCON. I gave my tutorial yesterday and it was jam-packed and really a lot of fun. Lots of great questions and laughs. I'll post the tutorial slides, workbook, and the new benchmarking tool …
[Read more]A few of us from Solid are up in Portland at OSCON. We’ll be showing off a new prototype of our high availability (HA) option for solidDB for MySQL. The HA option allows solidDB for MySQL to act in a hot-standby configuration where there is a primary and secondary server. The data in the primary is automatically synchronously replicated to the secondary. In the case that the primary fails, our HA Manager automatically performs a failover and the secondary server becomes the new primary. The secondary is also always available for read-only requests.
We’ll also be talking about DorsalSource, a community-focused Web site whose goal is to provide developers with easy access to builds of MySQL and related products. Come by booth 820 on Wednesday or Thursday if you want to hear more, …

I've already wrote a few times about various projects using Sphinx with MySQL for scalable Full Text Search applications. For example on BoardReader we're using this combination to build search against over 1 billion of forum posts totaling over 1.5TB of data handling hundreds of thousands of search queries per day.
The count of forum posts being large, is however not the largest we've got to deal in the project - number of links originating from forum posts is a bit larger number.
The task we had for links is to be able to search for links pointing to given web site as well. The challenge in this case is we do not only want to match links directed to "mysql.com" but links to "www.mysql.com" or "dev.mysql.com/download/" as well as they are all …
[Read more]Apart from sniping the queries, is there any other way to reduce the amount of time that a query will wait before giving up on getting access to a locked table?

PORTLAND, Ore.--Tim O'Reilly is giving a keynote speech at the Ubuntu Live conference, even as I type. I spoke just before him, and he's now throwing out much of what I said. :-) (I argued that we need to be more religious about open source, not less, by which I meant "filled with passion," not "filled with fury toward unbelievers," which is not a religion that I've seen much of here.)
O'Reilly is talking about the rising tide of Ubuntu, using book data, search data and other things (see right) that lead him to believe that Ubuntu is clearly growing in popularity. Tim warns, however, that we need to not get infatuated with open source qua licensing but rather need to think about how it (and, in this …
