[Read more]Recently, we've seen a number of excellent contributions to the MySQL server, and we're talking with Kevin Burton about possibly integrating his excellent lbpool work into the Connector suite. Jeremy Cole has written a number of patches for small, but very useful, feature enhancements to the main server — namely the ability to do a SHOW PROFILE trace of calls during statement execution, host cache improvements for 5.0, and some nice utility functions for trigger/procedure diagnostics. Bill Karwin has submitted a patch which …
[Read more]It looks like there's going to be a MySQL Meetup forming in the Phoenix area. A few of us are planning to get together next month for an inaugural meeting. There seems to be any number of people in the Valley of the Sun who are interested in MySQL or related topics, so it will be interesting to see if this meetup gets off the ground and attracts any sort of meaningful membership.
Congratulations today should be give to Fonality who just made
one of the best acquisitions of the year.

So why is this big news? Trixbox is the distribution for
telephony on Linux today. They have put together a vertical Linux
distribution dedicated to telephony. It combines Asterisk with a
web based interface backed by MySQL, integrated into the SugarCRM
solution. As Redhat today is the LAMP of the IT Enterprise and
Web Framework, (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP), Trixbox is the
LAMP stack of the Telephony market, Linux , Asterisk, MySQL,
Perl/PHP.
Fonality just moved into first place for the telephony linux
vertical stack, and this is a trillion dollar market, one in
which Microsoft doesn't have the technology to …
I have the chance to spend some weeks in the apartment of my
friend and colleague Russell Dyer in Milan, Italy. I'll be living
and working here for couple of weeks and tour around for 10 days
in central Italy later.
This is not my first visit to Italy. I was already in Sorrento
and Naples before with MySQL when we had a DevCon there. It is my
first time though that I have to buy bread, milk and groceries in
Italian shops and try to figure out what they said!
I don't speak a word Italian except for the very basics. Speaking
fluently french helps, though my head is getting a mess speaking
sometimes 4 languages in a day..
I'll see if I survive, but I'll do great I think!
Btw, first thing that came as a blow to me, or at least my ears:
Milan is damn loud! Maybe it's something general in Italy.. I'll
check it out.
Here's a quick tip to make a custom Graph in MySQL
Administrator.
MySQL Administrator can be separately installed from the MySQL
GUI Tool Bundle. Oh yeah, did you know that
finding and reporting bugs in the GUI tools might win
you an iPOD?
Now, about that tip: it's a documented feature, but not well known
nonetheless.
Click the "Health" item in the left sidebar, and choose one of
the tab pages:
Once you've opened the page, the right-click is your friend in
many ways. Just right-click inside the frame enclosing the graphs
to add a …

In this blog I have repeatedly mentioned the European Parliament’s upcoming resolution on future European patent policy in general and the European Patent Litigation Agreement (EPLA) in particular. After a long and intense debate, which went mostly unnoticed by the general public, the three largest groups (international-level parties) in the EP - the conservative EPP-ED, the social democratic PES and the libertarian ALDE - yesterday sealed a pretty reasonable compromise. Since those three groups have about 550 of the chamber’s 732 seats, it’s a mere formality for that compromise proposal to be carried by a solid majority. The vote will take place in Brussels on Thursday of next week (October 12).
Initially, the chief negotiators of EPP-ED and ALDE wanted the EP to say an unequivocal Yes to the Commission’s plans to get the EPLA ratified with the involvement of the EU. At the same time, the PES, Greens/EFA, …

There has a been and continues to be a lot of discussion on the
forums for people who are not able to connect to MySQL for one
reason or another. Some aspects of this issue have been dealt
with, particularly Bill Karwin's article which he published on the MySQLForge
Wiki, which I have linked into any number of MySQL Forum threads
by now.
I should like to conduct a broader discussion, as to some users,
not able to connect does not mean strictly that an initial
handshake of any sort could be established with the server, but
includes a far broader scope of problems ranging from the server
not even being installed let alone running, scripting languages,
e.g. PHP, being misconfigured, invalid credentials, or even false …
