It might seem odd, but I've been on the lookout for a decent e-mail system with web access and shared calendaring for quite some time for our family.

I would've found it hard to believe even a few years ago, but now with two adults with full schedules, and a nearly 4-year old in preschool and other events, and an 18-month old with their events and doctors' visits, our family is beginning to have the kind of scheduling problems that only used to happen in large corporations (and thus no cheap solutions were to be had).

We tried Sunbird for awhile last year, but it kept corrupting calendars that we stored on a webdav share out on our family webserver.

We've since switched to Google Calendars, which works great, other than the fact that we don't "own" the data (in fact, I've been backing it up every hour, "just in case").

I'm going to try out Zimbra, since it seems to foot the bill, and it happens to …

I have just gotten an article published on the community section of ez.no entitled Tuning MySQL for eZ publish. The article looks at the different buffers and settings you can tune in MySQL to boost the performance of eZ publish when running on MySQL.

I am interested in getting comments and feedback on your experience on this topic and what can be tuned for futher performance gain.

MySQL issues a cryptic error message, "Error on rename," when you try to alter a table in such a way that it would break a foreign key constraint.

Our newest documentation team member, Martin "MC" Brown has finished the often thankless task of refreshing and expanding our API documentation, which includes Connector/J. I suggest you take a look, as you can now find nice "nuggets" like how to use com.mysql.jdbc.ReplicationDriver to do load-balanced reads across a farm of slave replicas.

Also of note is a plugin for Eclipse that allows you to access the entire MySQL Reference Manual from inside your IDE (which happens to be the IDE that a majority of the Java developers inside MySQL use too!)

So, I have started to read Mysql Stored Procedures by Guy Harrison with Steven Feuerstein — a fabulous book already! One thing that caught my attention was this (which you can see in the Preface, available through Safari):

MySQL is the dominant open source database management system: it is being used increasingly to build very significant applications based on the LAMP …
