I am happy to announce that MySQL 5.5.18 is now available via Debian native packaging. We have gotten many requests for this and our build and release teams have pulled together to ensure that our DEB packages are delivered with the highest quality.
You can download MySQL 5.5.18 Debian 5 and 6 packages from the
MySQL Community Download page or from the My
Oracle Support portal.
As always, thanks for your continued support of MySQL!
I gave two monitoring related talks at OpenWorld, thanks to all that came along!
Both were monitoring related, the first an introduction to MySQL Enterprise Monitor, and the second a look at some of the new instrumentation that is getting developed, primarily within the MySQL 5.6 release.
If you'd like to get a quick overview of how MySQL Enterprise Monitor works, then take a look through the "Getting to Know MySQL Enterprise Monitor" talk. This gives you a high level view of how the different pieces fit together, and then each of the important factors within the user interface:

MySQL Cluster is, without doubt, the most interesting MySQL product Oracle offers to the people out there. It’s the flagship, the holy grail, based on the knowledge and technology developed doing our well known MySQL Server. I’m not going to go through why MySQL Cluster is so great, that you can find anywhere. I’m going [...]
All DBAs understand the importance and priority of quick,
reliable database backup and recovery operations. In fact,
dating back to my early days with MySQL, the most commonly
requested product features from the MySQL user base have been
around online, non-blocking backup solutions for running MySQL
servers. In response, Oracle now provides MySQL Enterprise Backup ("MEB") which performs
high performant, online "hot" backups for MySQL databases.
MEB provides all of the backup/recovery features and
functionality DBAs expect, all from a scriptable command line
interface. You can learn all about MEB in the related
MySQL docs.
My congratulations and appreciation go out to Lars Thalmann and
the MySQL Enterprise Backup engineering team for the …

supports full, incremental, partial, and compressed backups that
allow you to perform consistent Point-in-Time Recovery, as well
as saving both time and money.
In this Webinar you will learn:

Rapid Application Development (RAD) is a way of developing computer software applications with less effort than the traditional means.
RAD tools focus on providing code generation and automated testing capabilities with the use of convention over configuration to provide a streamlined workflow to create applications.
Even with the most advanced and easiest to use RAD tools, there are times which the traditional enterprise and the business software development vendors which are having their own implementations and in-house built frameworks are continuously refusing to adopt them.
Most of the misconceptions on the RAD are based on FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) which has been created around the internal complexity of the RAD tools.

In my continuing MySQL 5.5 blog series, today I am covering
what's new on the replication front. MySQL replication is
my favorite server feature and what drew me to MySQL during my
tenure with Embarcadero Technologies. Others seem to
agree as based on community and customer surveys, MySQL
replication is the most popular and widely used database
feature. Mostly because it is easy to set up and ease, it
enables scalability and provides a pretty robust solution for
data redundancy, backup and overall availability. In MySQL
5.5 replication has been enhanced in response to user requests
that MySQL replication:
