Ideas, releases, practical guides, and perspectives from the people building with MySQL.
Last week Kenai went beta, with the usual services in a development hub site plus an additional "connected" angle. Our GF CORBA project is already using its Hg repository but another very interesting angle is the technology mix.

Kenai acheived development agility with reliability by using a combination of our scripting (JRuby/Rails) and enterprise (GlassFish v2, MySQL, OpenSolaris) technologies. These combinations are beginning to pop all over and are one of the key targets of … |
Here's a wakeup call to all the good folks on planet MySQL

Denver Post: Gone: Comments...
Today's a great day to:
1) Review your backup logs.
2) Perform a recovery drill on a development server.
3) Validate the backed up data by running checksums, comparing
tables or file sizes, etc.

Suppose I have around 30 servers with MySQL 4.1 each with up to
1Tb of MyISAM tables. We need to upgrade their OS to support new
hardware. We want to upgrade to 64-bit architecture to use the
hardware efficiently.
Upgrading to 5.x seems like a good idea, as the additional
validation work will be the same as would have to be done anyway
- so we could effectively upgrade our MySQL version "for free",
i.e. no additional QA work would be required than would be needed
anyway.
Upgrading at any other time would involve a repetition of the
validation exercise, which is not trivial as we must test at
least:
»XAMPP kompakt« aus dem Bomots-Verlag war das erste Buch, das
sich ausschließlich mit XAMPP beschäftigt und Einsteigern einen
ersten umfassenden Blick in die Webserver-Welt geboten hat.
Jetzt ist es in einer aktualisierten und erweiterten Neuauflage
erschienen und der Autor Holger Reibold war so freundlich uns ein
paar Belegexemplare zur Verfügung zu stellen.
Diese wollen wir natürlich nicht nur für uns behalten und
verlosen daher 10 dieser Exemplare unter allen interessierten
XAMPP-Nutzern.
Als kleines Bonbon gibt es für die ersten drei Plätze auch noch
jeweils eines unserer überaus begehrten XAMPP-T-Shirts mit dem
AMPP-Motiv auf der Rückseite.

Seriously kids, what’s with the lack of scalability? I’ve never seen CNN or the NYTimes go down on “trimmed” versions.
Is it a question of bandwidth? Is it lack of hardware?
Take for example, Malaysiakini (the first alternative news source in Malaysia, with a subscription model built around it). It runs FreeBSD, uses PostgreSQL, and has a CMS on top of it (so almost a LAMP stack right there). There’s even use of Squid for caching. Yet there’s lacking load balancing? This is where the cloud can come into play, when there’s high traffic.
Next up, …
[Read more]The MySQL project switched from Bitkeeper to another revision control system, Bazaar, in June 2008. My colleague Daniel Fischer wrote an excellent article describing how to get MySQL's code by using Bazaar, and how to compile a MySQL server binary from this. Here I am going to build on this knowledge and take it further, to show you how to modify MySQL's code for your needs, and share your modifications.
Replication is one of the most useful but also also one of the
most arcane database technologies. Every real database has it in
some form. Despite ubiquity, replication is complex to use and in
the case of commercial databases quite expensive to boot.
We aim to
change that. On Tuesday we will be announcing replication support
for Oracle.
Oracle replication will be based on our open source Tungsten Replicator, which is currently
available in an alpha version for MySQL. Our goal is to provide replication that
is accessible and usable by a wide range of users, especially
those running lower-cost Oracle editions.
It's not a coincidence that we chose to implement MySQL and
Oracle …

We've seen a groundswell of support for the GNU General Public License (GPL) and its variants among commercial open-source companies, including MySQL, Funambol, Alfresco, SugarCRM, and others. But Appcelerator is bucking the trend and changing from the GPL to the Apache Public License for its Rich Internet Application developer ...
