[Read more]Another good day today: I attended the keynotes and found them quite interesting.
I especially liked the way Twitter uses MySQL to build up a NoSQL solution. Jokes aside, I took a few notes on things I must analyze and dig in.
The introduction of the Paypal models seemed very interesting, which brought me to attend the presentation later on. It was well constructed and had some good theoretical work, but I was quite disappointed. I found the presentation incomplete and missing real numbers for the MySQL Cluster NDB setup.
I attended the presentation done by Ronald B. It was good — nothing really advanced, but it was on purpose. He was very informative and explanatory for a junior MySQL DBA, and I enjoyed his presentation for the logical approach and construction.
Ronald also highlighted that it was the content of less then a chapter of one of his books and was done on purpose to give an initial understanding of …
[Read more]I attend five sessions today, and I think that some of them were very interesting, like the one on the Optimizer insight. It was quite informative and accurate.
Another one, done by the MySQL Cluster (NDB) group on the
installer and new Javascript API interface, left me a little
bit…foggy. Why? Because in my mind, one of the most important
things to accomplish in NDB is the correct dimensioning of the
memory, buffers, possible operation, attributes, and so on. All
these things should come from the schema definition review and
from the application analysis.
Now given the review analysis of the schema is still not present
in the installer, I think that we missed a very important piece
of information. When I raised the issue, Bernd mentioned
that they were thinking of integrating that as well. It’s a good
move, and I hope to see it soon. About the JavaScript API,
I honestly think this was a real waste of …
I’m excited to be here not only to catch up with old friends and ex-colleagues, but also to witness what seems to be the start of a very significant conference from MySQL.
I really enjoyed the introductions done by Edward Screven and Thomas Ulin. Edward highlighted the fact that MySQL is increasing its presence in the market and in the community. This could be thanks to the unbelievable effort done by Oracle in keeping its production cycle on target. Thomas stressed that point and gave a great description of it. He demonstrated Oracle’s main focus points, which are mainly on InnoDB, with implementation and enhancement of the internal contentions, then on Optimizer improvements and NoSQL integration.
Replication remains a pending issue from my side because if we have the global transaction ID, we still suffer from delay in replication given that parallel replication is still working by, schema and not …
[Read more]Oracle has announced that it now provides support for DRBD with MySQL – this means a single point of support for the entire MySQL/DRBD/Pacemaker/Corosync/Linux stack! As part of this, we’ve released a new white paper which steps you through everything you need to do to configure this High Availability stack. The white paper provides a step-by-step guide to installing, configuring, provisioning and testing the complete MySQL and DRBD stack, including:
DRBD is an extremely popular way of adding a layer of High Availability to a MySQL deployment – especially when the 99.999% availability levels delivered by MySQL Cluster isn’t needed. …
[Read more]Deploying a well configured cluster has just got a lot easier! Oracle have released a new auto-installer/configurator for MySQL Cluster that makes the processes extremely simple while making sure that the cluster is well configured for your application. The installer is part of MySQL Cluster 7.3 and so is not yet GA but it can also be used on MySQL Cluster 7.2. A single command launches the web-based wizard which then steps you through configuring the cluster; to keep things even simpler, it will automatically detect the resources on your target machines and use these results together with the type of workload you specify in order to determine values for the key configuration parameters.

Before going through the detailed steps, here’s a demonstration of the auto-installer in action…

The MySQL Cluster team are working on a new NoSQL JavaScript connector for MySQL. The objectives are simplicity and high performance for JavaScript users:
- allows end-to-end JavaScript development, from the browser to the server and now to the world's most popular open source database
- native "NoSQL" access to the storage layer without going first through SQL transformations and parsing.
Node.js is a complete web platform built around JavaScript designed to deliver millions of client connections on commodity hardware. With the MySQL NoSQL Connector for JavaScript, Node.js users can easily add data access and persistence to their web, cloud, social and mobile applications.
While the initial implementation is designed to plug and play with Node.js, the actual implementation doesn't depend heavily on Node, potentially enabling wider platform support …
