John Powell from eMapSite stopped by at the Whisper Suite in
MySQL
Users Conference earlier today to talk about his GlassFish issue. The
possible workaround was suggested and then the discussion became
interesting on how GlassFish is used for offshore monitoring of
windfarms and process weather forecasting data. Hear all about it
and watch a flashy demo of their product in this video:
NetBeans,
GlassFish, and MySQL is their development stack with a "very
positive experience"!
Stay tuned for the stories entry.

So I talked to the wonderful JB from O’Reilly who is responsible for all sorts of parts of the conference, and she’s now enabled my presentations on the MySQL Conference Presentations page.
While you’re there downloading mine, make sure you go and download some of the others.
In particular, you might want to try:
- DTrace presentation which Vince Carbone did (and which I co-presented to provide a live demo of DTrace)
- Ann and Kevin’s Falcon Presentation
- Andrey’s look at the new …

Yesterday was the surprise announcement of MySQL 5.4 at the 2009 MySQL Conference and Expo. It was unfortunate that the supporting information was not that forthcoming on the MySQL website. I tried for several hours to try and download, but no mirrors were initially available. Today I see some information on the mysql.com home page and finally able to get the binary.
What I found most significant with this new major version release is a change in the binary distribution, as seen on the Download page.
MySQL 5.4 is only available on 3 platforms:
- Linux (AMD64 / Intel EM64T)
- Solaris 10 (SPARC, 64-bit)
- Solaris 10 (AMD64 / Intel EM64T, …

On Tuesday at the MySQL Camp 2009 in Santa Clara I presented Setting up MySQL on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
This presentation assumed you know nothing about AWS, and have no account. With Internet access via a Browser and a valid Credit Card, you can have your own running Web Server on the Internet in under 10 minutes, just point and click.
We also step into some more detail online click and point and supplied command line tools to demonstrate some more advanced usage.

My presentation slides for the Scale Up, Scale Out and High Availability tutorial here at the MySQL Users Conference are now available for download:

I presented on Creating Quick and Powerful Web Applications with
MySQL, GlassFish, and NetBeans. The key messages conveyed
during the preso are:
- GlassFish is an open source community and delivers production-quality Java EE compliant Application Server.
- GlassFish v2 is the Java EE 5 Reference Implementation and GlassFish v3 for Java EE 6. Read complete difference here.
- Java Persistence API makes it really easy to create database-backed Web applications. It even creates MySQL-specific queries, when possible.
- The web-based administration …
