Free MySQL learning Part II from Oracle University
Patrick Hurley will be delivering a webinar entitled “MySQL: The Least an Oracle Professional Needs to Know” tomorrow at 12.00 pm EST for the ODTUG (Oracle Development Tools User Group).
I met Patrick a few months ago at an Oracle User Group seminar where he delivered his presentation, and I recommend it to Oracle DBAs who would like to get going with MySQL.
Here is the abstract:
“This talk is an introduction to the MySQL database, particularly for Oracle professionals. Patrick will give an overview of its architecture and concepts. He will describe and demonstrate many MySQL administrative tasks, including installation, database creation, backup, and recovery. Patrick will finish by showing how relatively easy it is to set up replication between two MySQL databases.”

Often I think about challenges that organizations face with “Big Data”. While Big Data is a generic and over used term, what I am really referring to is an organizations ability to disseminate, understand and ultimately benefit from increasing volumes of data. It is almost without question that in the future customers will be won/lost, competitive advantage will be gained/forfeited and businesses will succeed/fail based on their ability to leverage their data assets.
It may be surprising what I think are the near term challenges. Largely I don’t think these are purely technical. There are enough wheels in motion now to almost guarantee that data accessibility will continue to improve at pace in-line with the increase in data volume. Sure, there will continue to be lots of interesting innovation with technology, but when organizations like …

As Giuseppe Maxia recently posted we released Tungsten Replicator 2.0.4 this week. It
has a raft of bug fixes and new features of which one-line
installations are the single biggest improvement. I set up
replicators dozens of times a day and having a single command for
standard cluster topologies is a huge step forward. Kudos
to Jeff Mace for getting this nailed down.
So what's next? You can get see what we are up to in
general by looking at our issues list. We cannot do everything at
once, but here are the current priorities for Tungsten Replicator
2.0.5.
- Parallel replication speed and robustness. …
