I was reading Zack Urlocker’s MySQL Workbench Beta article and was keen to look at the Extensible architecture. Not much detail yet in the Figure Stylesheets, Scripts and Plugins, which will be good when it’s there, however it lead me to another secret.
The MySQL Forge. This was mentioned at the Brisbane MySQL Users Group Meeting with Brian Aker in January. There isn’t much content at present, but there is a Call for Content.

Hacking the latest storage engine? Working on a fancy new SHOW command? Hunting for a bug in mysqld? This is for you!
Once you’ve got MySQL compiled, how do you test your mysqld binary? You’ll need to get it started. Stop! Don’t make install it!
$ mkdir ~/t $ vi ~/t/my.cnf
Add the following to ~/t/my.cnf (modify to taste):
[mysqld]
basedir=sql
datadir=/Users/jcole/t
port=3307
socket=/Users/jcole/t/mysql.sock
skip-grant
skip-innodb
skip-bdb
[client]
port=3307
socket=/Users/jcole/t/mysql.sock
$ ln -s . sql/share/mysql
This, combined with the basedir=sql in my.cnf means that MySQL will be able to find its error message and character set files, so that the release you’re building doesn’t have to match the release installed on the …
I'll be coming to the MySQL User Conference next month, then hanging around a little while longer for a support group meet.
After booking various things my bank called me about possible fraudulent charges on my credit card. Apparently I wasn't supposed to go?
We know that people are pretty interested in
"stuff" with the MySQL logo/name on it. Like, last year's
anniversary mug was pretty popular, as are the t-shirts we hand
out at various conferences. So we're working on more! We're the
only ones who can make this happen, since it involves our
trademarks.
This is your chance to tell the MySQL community team what kind of
stuff you would like to see, and do feel free to be quite
specific (like colour for t-shirts, etc). Tell what you would
like: geek wear, baby wear, underwear?, mugs, caps, stickers,
...
The photo on the left is of my daughter Phoebe (10 months old
now), with possibly the smallest MySQL shirt in existence (this
one was custom printed). This just to give your creativity a
nudge.
Also, if you have any cool/funny sloguns in mind, now is the time …
Georg Richter, Apache, PHP, and MySQL hacker finally has a blog!
The new version of my Normalization article is now online:

Apparently SCO is trying to push it's OS with a new Product -
SCAMP, a LAMP-like combination of OpenServer, Apache, MySQL and
PHP/Perl. Unfortunately for them the abbreviation is already an
english word.
Leo says in german it's "Schuft, Spitzbube" as a noun and
"pfuschen" as a verb. Should this tell us anything about the
product? This reminds me of the short-lived slogan of the
Deutsche Bahn "Geniessen Sie Ihr Leben in vollen Zügen" (Enjoy
Your life to the fullest / Enjoy Your life in overcrowded
trains). But who's to blame, our latest product is named Chorizo
:-)
The MySQL GUI team, under the leadership of graphical guru Mike Zinner, has posted a new beta version of MySQL Workbench. This is a brand new graphical tool targeted to DBAs giving them a powerful graphical environment for modeling and managing database schemas. This is an awesome tool that makes it easy to reverse engineer huge database schemas, maintain the model graphically, and it provides complete 2-way synchronization between the graphical model and the underlying database schema. It provides automatic layout, customizable views, drag and drop capabilities and more.
MySQL Workbench runs on …

from this thread on the orafaq forum:
?There is no way we would be able to raise the money required to
buy a commercial Oracle license.?
?I believe the XE edition is a max of 2gig. htmldb would be free
for that, but by the time you add htmldb overhead and users, I
gotta think this site has way way more data than what is left out
of the starting 2gig. ? Standard Edition One would be the next
option, at 5 grand per proc.?
maybe oracle will toss a free license their way, but this is a
great case study on how useless oracle?s free offerings really
are. (to contrast, of course, mysql?s free offering is fully-featured, with
no artificial limitations. same with other truly free databases
like firebird or the open-source versions of …
