It is good practice to manage changes to MySQL configuration files (/etc/my.cnf) by using a version control system. I usually use a home-brewed (not brewed by me!) svn+cfengine application to propagate my.cnf (and other configuration file) changes to defined classes of machines (classes are based on application role, replication role, etc). When managing hundreds of [...]

Dick has a detailed post on "LAMP stack on GlassFish" which really focused on Caucho's Quercus PHP runtime inside GlassFish to execute Wordpress (with MySQL as the back-end obviously). The post provides database setup details and prefers standalone WAR files (carying along Quercus). Sébastien focuses on Joomla on GlassFish but prefers the PHP/JavaBridge … |

Old Town White Coffee is a place we’ve been hanging out a lot at. Its got wifi, power sockets, couches, good food and drink, great eye candy (bonus!), and is open till late.
Today, we found out that all their PCs that hold the orders (order{1,2,3,4}) have Samba shares. Open to all, naturally.
They use Crystal Reports. Have a custom front-end, with appropriate touch screen drivers, but the back-end is pretty stock. They use MySQL, Connector/ODBC 3.51.12 and also use SQLyog 5.30. I know the system is designed and deployed by NIT, it looks like their F&B POS.
Their use of MySQL (schema wise), includes using VIEWs, stored procedures and triggers (on UPDATE and DELETE).
I wonder how many point of sales systems are powered by open source software. This one runs Windows, but at least within the …

So Google Chrome – Google's attempt at an open source browser, came out yesterday and I took it out for a spin. At its heart is the Webkit engine (also open source) and Google Gears, powered by SQLite (can MySQL rival SQLite in applications like this?). Here are my thoughts.
- Fast – Chrome loads extremely fast, blazing even. Granted, my Firefox would probably load fast if I didn't have any addons as well. Sites like Amazon or …

As expected, many people are interested in the "what" behind our
new Enterprise Monitor 2.0 w/Query Analyzer, and again, as
expected more than a fair number are asking "OK, so when can we
try it?" With that in mind, here is a quick update on where
things stand:
- MySQL Enterprise subscribers can download build 7038 (soon to
be 704x) and all of the docs from the MySQL Enterprise
customer site. It has been a popular download and we should
have a refreshed build very soon.
- We are planning to post a public beta in the next 2-3 weeks,
most likely after we (the Enterprise Tools engineering team) all
return from our annual Engineering meeting (this year it is in
Riga, Latvia). That event wraps up on 9/24.
- I am doing a webcast on Query Analyzer for our friends in EMEA
tomorrow. You can learn more and get registered …

If you have attended the latest two MySQL Users Conference
and Expo, you will know Sheeri. She was awarded for two years in a row
community contributor of the year. And she is seriously
determined to see someone else on stage next year. That's why
she has been pushing other people toward the community
scenes, paving the way for other contributors to surface.
But, you know, Sheeri is really good, and we have been trying to hire her, without much success. So we decided that since she is such a great catalyst, we should let her run part of the show. Embedded in the next MySQL Users Conference and Expo, there will be a MySQLCamp, of which she will be fully in charge. |

Reggie Burnett is one of the those engineers at MySQL who deserves greater recognition. At a company dominated by LAMP-stackers, Reggie stands up and shouts for what some inside MySQL would view as a minority: developers using Windows to develop MySQL applications.
The funny thing about this is that Windows developers aren't really a minority at all are they? Both MySQL and Sun have statistics which show that more than fifty percent of developers use the Windows as their primary development platform. Whether or not the applications they develop get deployed on a Windows server, developers are actively utilizing a Windows development environment, typically using the Visual Studio IDE.
So, one thing that bothers Reggie, and me, is the lack of quality resources that we have to help support the MySQL on Windows developers. Hopefully, together we can change all that.

The MySQL Users Conference and Expo 2009 has open its Call for Papers. The past edition had close to 2,000 participants, and the next one shouldn't be any poorer. The theme for the next conference is Innovation Everywhere. After being a earthquake in the business world with the acquisition by Sun, MySQL continues its course towards innovation, by pursuing new users, new markets, new needs with continuous innovation. |
A novelty, compared to past edition, is an embedded MySQLCamp within the conference. It will be an open space, driven and organized by the community, oriented to developers and advanced users.
Sometimes there are funny communication styles between people who are geographically distributed and working together all the time. Recently one of our team members echoed back to me some answers I gave over a chat session:
Q: Is it OK for me to buy quad-core servers? A: The old man walks slow but carries much, whilst [...]
I had a nice chat with Kieran from Acquia at DrupalCon last week - we discussed how people running local Drupal user groups could expand their outreach into other communities, in particular into the MySQL User Groups. Scott Mattoon captured our conversation on video, which is now available on blip.tv:
The gist of what we talked about: if you are organizing a local Drupal User Group Meetup, check out http://mysql.meetup.com …
