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 …
[Read more]On September 18th-21st, the second EuroOSCON will take place in Brussels, Belgium. I probably won't make it to this year's conference, but I really enjoyed the event in Amsterdam last year.
The session grid contains a number of talks related to MySQL:
We interrupt this scheduled viewing, for our faithful Windows users…
We have a new release of the MySQL Connector/PHP. MySQL has released 5.0.24 for a bit, and PHP themselves have released 5.1.5. The PHP release actually fixes some security related issues. Be sure to check the forums out if you encounter issues and if you fancy, the usual announce message.

Friendster got some new VC capital, after putting
itself up for sale and nearly running out of money. They filed
for some patents a long time ago, and at least one of those came
through. That appears to be what the VCs are interested in, one
had specifically pushed for patent applications earlier.
See GigaOM and Red Herring: Friendster Wins Patent (don't
click on the actual patent link!)
But what is Friendster's business model? Some advertising, and
subscriptions to phone alerts... I suppose it's going somewhere,
but is it enough? For a small company without VC, this could be a

So, FireFox have come up with a novel idea to promote it’s product. Check out Firefox Day.
The official blurb: Share Firefox with a friend. If your friend downloads Firefox before September 15, you?ll both be immortalized in Firefox 2.
You can even choose how to link your names together on the “Firefox Friends Wall”. Examples like ‘my name’ Informed ‘your name’, or ‘my name’ Empowered ‘your name’, or ‘my name’ Liberated ‘your name’.
Perhaps MySQL can leverage this idea for some what to promote future download!
