OK, so I apologize for the obviously attention-grabbing title of this blog. If you're still with me, give me a chance to explain why we can ALL get drunk with Eben at the conference in the spirit of true open source bazaar participation.
Eben Moglen, who is the Director of the Software Freedom Law Center, will be opening up our Wednesday morning keynote extravaganza with a talk entitled "Freedom Businesses Protect Privacy". When I first received a title from Eben, he had proposed the following title (snipped from my email from him):
"Why Free Beer Isn't So Good if your Data are Getting Drunk: How
Free as in Freedom Businesses Help Prevent the Ultimate Privacy
Catastrophe"

Do you have more MySQL daemons than you can keep track of? Do you learn when one goes down only after things have hit the fan? Would you like some advanced or at least timely warning?
Do you use SNMP and a management station to monitor the health and availablity of your switches and routers, and possibly your hosts. Would you like to manage your MySQL servers the same way, using the same tools? Come learn how you can.
There's a RDBMS-MIB. And now there's an AgentX subagent for it.
Come learn how it will make your life a little less stressful.

Hi!
Version 0.6 has been released, the big news is:
Discovery Support was added
Implemented row level locks
Fixed bug in deletion of keys
Fixed duplicate key bug
Updated stats for server status
Fixed issues in update for replacement of primary key.
What is discovery mode? It means that a table found by one MySQL
server can be found by another who has access to the memcache
cluster. This works because on CREATE TABLE a copy of the
definition of the table is placed inside of the memcache cluster
for other MySQL servers to find. This is not perfect yet and it
will need a bit more code to really scale (aka it needs resource
counting). This version has gotten quite a bit more outside
testing then previous versions so I expect quite a few SQL errors
are now gone.
You can find the announcement here:

Mark has released his S3 engine:
http://fallenpegasus.livejournal.com/579770.html
S3 is the Amazon storage system. Personally I am very interested
to see how user's can put this to use. Being able to take data
and store it in a remote service has a lot of really interesting
possibilities (off lining OLTP, of site backups, simple ability
to push objects to S3...)
He is also speaking on it at the MySQL User's Conference:

He also has a BOF on his SNMP plugin (which I would think would
really shake people's worlds):

I just got mentioned on the official AWS blog
Independent developer Mark Atwood has been working on a MySQL interface to Amazon S3. Released under the GNU Public License, the code is compatible with version 5.1 of MySQL. Once the interface has been installed and configured with your AWS developer credentials, you can now create tables using the AWSS3 storage engine like this:
CREATE TABLE atst (s3id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, s3val BLOB)) ENGINE='AWSS3' connection='awss3 bucketname aws_id aws_secret'
This is a bleeding-edge, first-cut release and, as is the case with popular open source projects, will undoubtedly evolve and mature rapidly over the coming weeks and months.
Based on Mark's S3 journal entries, the basic functionality is now in place. Each database table row is stored in an S3 object. The …

Several months ago I wrote about logs on demand in MySQL 5.1. Now that 5.1 is approaching its maturity stage, I am happy to report that this feature has proven itself very handy and useful. Petr Chardin will talk about this very feature at the MySQL Conference and Expo. |
While reviewing the material for this session, I remembered a
usability report that I wrote when the feature

I have just released PrimeBase XT 0.9.86 which will be my last
release before the MySQL User Conference this year. The most
significant change in this version is the reduction of the number
of data logs used per table. This, and a number of other
modifications, makes PBXT fit to handle databases with 1000's of
tables.
If you would like to learn more about the development and design
of PBXT then join me for my session at the MySQL User Conference
in Santa Clara, on Wed, April 25, 10:45am - 11:45am, Ballroom

Transactional Storage Engine
