My role at PrimeBase Technologies now in the news

Ronald Bradford,
Chief Operating Officer (COO),
PrimeBase Technologies

The official press release of my commencement at PrimeBase Technologies can be now found at
Ronald Bradford strengthens management team and new open source initiative.

I’m very excited to be the COO, that’s Chief Operating Officer, rather impressive if you say it out loud a few times. My close friends and MySQL colleagues in the know in New York were also most impressed I’ve made CxO status during celebrations in recent previous weeks. My title was under wraps until I’d started.

What does COO mean at PrimeBase Technologies? I’m being charged with a number of things. I will responsible for the new Business Solutions division which includes helping to define the product road map for …

PostgreSQL East 2008 Talk - Best Practices with PostgreSQL on Solaris

As Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 is launched along with the Open Application Services solution which includes PostgreSQL, the talk I gave at PostgreSQL East 2008 on "Best Practices with PostgreSQL on Solaris" might be helpful for many new users.

 

If there are questions let me know.

Where?s the News?

It’s been six weeks since the completion of the acquisition of MySQL by Sun Microsystems. In this time, on the MySQL News and Press Releases there has only been one (1) Press Release here.
In the six weeks between the announcement and completion of the acquisition MySQL made ten (10) Press Releases, and the six weeks preceding this including the Christmas break there was (six) Press Releases.

On the Sun Press Releases in this period there has been twenty three (23), but just the same one MySQL specific. …

The pursuit of a synchronous world

Well at least your MySQL database world.

As Paul eluded to, PrimeBase Technologies has a project to provide synchronous replication for MySQL in a High Availability environment. It is more then an idea, there is a plan.

Is it possible?
What are the use cases?
How can you use it?
Would you use it?

Some input to date. We need these questions and more, and we seeking more input for discussion.

Unfortunately the opportunity to hear any input during a presentation is left to the last day of the conference, so we have created a BoF session on Tuesday night for a round table discussion if necessary. We encourage people to bring specific cases and situations for feedback, the reasons why MySQL Replication, MySQL Cluster, DRBD/HeatBeat or any other solution does not satisfy your needs, and what …

PostgreSQL East 2008 Talk - PostgreSQL and Benchmark

I started working on my upcoming talk at PGCon 2008 and realized that I haven't put my talk from PostgreSQL Conference East 2008  - PostgreSQL and Benchmarks online yet.


 

 More on the upcoming presentation later.


 

Support the MySQL Community Photo Day

Updated On good advice from Sheeri I made a few comments clearer.

We have proposed that the integral “MySQL Community Photo Day” be on Thursday April 17 2008, the final day of the MySQL Users Conference.

Wear a t-shirt from an open source community project on Thursday, whether a PrimeBase PBXT one or your favorite open source project (of course I prefer the first option). Get your photo taken with the masses of community supporters. If your not attending this year, this doesn’t mean you can’t also contribute a photo yourself from what location you are from. Save a saving fund for next year but get us a photo.

It doesn’t have to just be Thursday, we will accept photos at any time before then. Upload a photo and win a prize. (Baron you definitely get chocolate)
We have created a Flickr group called “MySQL Community Photo Day” at …

Replication++, Replication 2.0, Replication.Next

There has been some discussion recently regarding the death of MySQL Read Replication starting with Brian Aker and then Farhan, Arjen and Paul have all chimed in. Whatever you want to call it, the next generation of replication approach is clearly on the agenda of the industry leaders and pack followers. We should take a programmatic look however and ask ourselves a few questions. Such as:

  1. The Use — What is/was MySQL Replication used for?
  2. The Reasons — Why was it used?
  3. The Problems — Why is there a need for something better, different or …

The MySQL SandBox

This week I’d expected to hear good friend Giuseppe (CCO) Maxia speak about MySQL SandBox at the Hamburg MySQL April Meetup.

This is product I’ve thought about using, wanted to use, but just never got to the point to using. I download the current version 1.18, I had MySQL tar’s already of 5.0, 5.1 and 6.0 and was all ready until the late topic change.

However due to the language barrier in the second talk, I got a one-on-one lesson. Now I know how it works, and understands the strengths I can use it as part of my standard vanilla testing. There are some improvements I could see, something perhaps I can contribute if they allow a Perl part-timer too. The joy of open source is I can add, modify, change and submit my work, if …

MySQL Speakers and Presenters at LinkedIn

There is a Linked In group I created some time ago but forgot to advertise that is for MySQL Speakers and Presenters.

If you a speaker or presenter of MySQL content, confirm your registration here.
You will need to have a reference to a website confirming you have been a speaker at a MySQL Event such as a User Conference, MySQL Camp or Local MySQL Users Group.

Hopefully overtime we can build a consolidated index at MySQL Forge Presently some pages exist including MySQL Conference & Expo and User Group Presentations but I’m accepting input for a model to have a central page, and link to or upload …
