 | The MySQL Conference 2010, with Sun Microsystems as founding sponsor, has opened its Call for participation. There is already an impressive lineup of tutorials, and I don't say that only because I am on that list. You will find the usual suspects (Replication, Cluster, Certification) and several new ones: Partitioning (covering 5.5), Drizzle replication plugins and core development, Dual master setup, Scaling Applications, Diagnosing and fixing performance, Inspecting variables, |
With the beta releases of MySQL Workbench 5.2 well under way, we recently announced the EOL (http://www.mysql.com/support/eol-notice.html) of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle.
The MySQL Tools team has been working on MySQL Workbench 5.2 to give DBAs and developers an integrated tools environment for:
MySQL Workbench 5.2 also provides:
A future release of MySQL Workbench (post 5.2) will add a migration plugin, providing features comparable to the MySQL Migration Toolkit component of the MySQL GUI Tools Bundle. We will also be adding
[Read more...]The re-enabling of the dlopen()-based dynamic plugin loading has hit the Drizzle trunk. This means that plugins can now be built as shared modules and loaded at will on server startup. We still do not support dynamically loading a plugin in a running server via the LOAD PLUGIN command, nor will we until this can be done without re-introducing global mutexes.
Since this is a feature we turned off a while ago, but that was there before, why mention it? There have been several changes to the system that I thought would be handy to mention.
First of all, Drizzle has a crap-ton of plugins and the numbers are only growing. In the tree now, the default is to build any of them we are able to, and to build them all as shared modules, rather than statically linking them into the server. Then, from the list of built and available plugins, there is a default list of plugins that should be loaded if no other options

Dear MySQL Users,
We are proud to announce public Beta 3 of MySQL Workbench 5.2.
First off, again a big “Thank You” to all the people who have been testing MySQL Workbench 5.2 alphas and betas and taking the time to file bugs and provide valuable feedback. We have fixed another pile of bugs and included some minor changes in some of the workflows. We have upgraded our linux packages and are now serving packages for Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10.
This build includes fixes for 54 bugs – 9 P1, 28 P2 and 17 P3.
MySQL Workbench 5.2 Beta 3 provides:
If you are a current user of MySQL Query Browser or MySQL Administrator, we look forward to your feedback on all the new capabilities we are delivering in a single unified MySQL Workbench

Nicklas Westerlund has published the 173rd edition of Log Buffer, the weekly review of database blogs, on SELECT mysqlgenie FROM lamp;.
Log Buffer will be off next week for the holidays, and back early in 2010 to begin another year of presenting the best of database blogs. Please get in touch with the Log Buffer coordinator if you’d like to publish an edition of your own.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Here is Log Buffer #173.
With the release of InfiniDB 0.9.5.3 that includes HAVING functionality, the test scripts have been updated to include HAVING tests as well. Updated UNION tests and RENAME tests have also been included. You may download these new 0.9.5.3 test scripts here.
Time keeps on moving and we’re now only one week from Christmas, when people spend time with their families and loved ones. But, that is in a week, today it is time for a new edition of Log Buffer, where we catch up on database blogs from across the world, starting with SQL Server.

mysql client and add a user, etc.It has always annoyed me that these procedures are perfect candidates for automation, but that we do not have the necessary interfaces to manipulate an entire installation of MySQL servers.
If there were an interface with a relatively small set of primitives—re-directing servers, bringing servers down, add a line to the configuration file, etc.—it would be possible to

Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Mandriva 2010.0 (LAMP)
LAMP is short for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. This tutorial shows how you can install an Apache2 webserver on a Mandriva 2010.0 server with PHP5 support (mod_php) and MySQL support.
I have now published the Buildbot configuration file that we use for our continuous integration tests in our Buildbot setup. Every push into main and development branches of MariaDB is built and tested on a range of platforms to catch and fix any problems early (and we also test MySQL releases before merging to easily see whether any new problems already existed in MySQL or were introduced by something specific to MariaDB).
The configuration is included in the Tools for MariaDB Launchpad project.
Now, the Buildbot configuration file is not something that most MariaDB users will
[Read more...]I just came across several blog posts regarding the Oracle/Sun/MySQL war, including this one. There are a lot of interesting clarifications and opinions, but I want to highlight this comment from MySQL's founder Monty about Mårten Mickos which is worth reading. One excerpt:
That could however explain why he [Mårten] is now so eager to help Oracle buy MySQL and even represented Oracle at the EC hearing.
MySQL's former CEO representing Oracle in the EC hearing? Is it because Mårten converted to the dark side of the planet or is it because he believes MySQL will have a great future under Oracle's umbrella? Or has it to do with stock options as Monty's comment suggests?

I keep running in to issues with how folks use config.h, so I thought I'd clear up any confusion folks have. For those who haven't been following along at home, the autotools (i.e. autoconf and autoheader in this case) generate a file called config.h which contains a bunch of defines to help control the build based on what things exist or don't exist on your system. There are two main rules for this file that lots of folks get wrong:
Why?
For the first point, you must ensure that config.h is included first, because it sets behaviors. It must be included before any system headers because it may contain things that control the behavior of the system headers. It

I was contacted by Doug Henschen on Monday for an article he was writing for Intelligent Enterprise on Oracle’s just announced promises to the European Commission regarding MySQL. It turns out Doug was polling all the major open source data warehousing and business intelligence vendors to get our perspectives on the promises, and it appears as if we all had roughly the same response: “cautious optimism” as Doug put it.
Having invented the industry’s first SQL Chip that improves the performance and scalability of reporting and analytics for MySQL by 10x – 1000x, we have been keenly interested and aware of Oracle’s announced intent to acquire Sun, and along with it MySQL. While we have architected our product to work with other database management
[Read more...]One of the things that I am really happy about in MariaDB is that we have our releases available as apt (and yum for Centos) repositories. This is largely thanks to being able to build this on the OurDelta package build infrastructure (which again builds on things like the Debian packaging scripts for MySQL).
Something like the Debian apt-get package system (which is also
used by Ubuntu) is one of the major innovations in the Free Software world in
my opinion. Debian has spent many years refining this system to where it is
today. Want to run the mysql client, but it isn't installed? Just try to run
it on your local Ubuntu host:
$ mysql
The program 'mysql' can be found in the following packages:
* mysql-client-5.0
* mysql-client-5.1
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
-bash: mysql: [Read more...]
