MySQL Conference and Expo is coming up to Santa Clara this April. The program schedule is really easy to navigate and tells you about everything there's to partake of.
A quick review will show you that the quality of the
no-nonsense presentations will be amazing, and it will be a
true privilege to attend the conference. (We should thank
the MySQL community team for helping ensure this high level
of technical quality and relevance.) |

Wikimedia
Foundation is expanding Wikipedia to multimedia with Sun Open
Storage Solution and MySQL Database:
Wikipedia receives between 25,000 and 60,000 page requests per second, depending on the time of day. Wikimedia needed to update its infrastructure to handle this huge volume of traffic and ensure that its systems were reliable, highly available, and easily scalable. It also wanted to expand its upload file limit from 20 MB to 100 MB to accommodate rich media (audio and video) content, but before it could do that it needed to expand its storage capacity.

My presentation at LOSUG on tuesday went down like a house on fire - I think it would be safe to say that the phrase for the evening was ‘It’s a cache!’.
For that to make sense, you need to look at the slides, which are now available here.
Attendance was great, but it seems the last minute change of day meant that some people missed the session. We had 151 people register, and about 80 turned up on the night.

Next Tuesday (27th Jan), I’ll be speaking at the London OpenSolaris User Group again. For those that follow the LOSUG meetings, we normally the third thursday of the month, but due to the overwhelming popularity of the event this month (more 100 registrations so far) we have had to push the event back to the last Tuesday of the month.
This month, I’ll be talking about the DTrace probes that we have added into MySQL and demonstrating their use and functionality. Along the way I’ll also cover some of the internals of MySQL and how it works (and how they relate to the DTrace probes we’ve added), how to use the probes to analyze and diagnose your queries, and how I’ve already used the DTrace probes to provide information up to the Query Analysis functionality within …
