The MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB) Team is pleased to
announce the release of MEB 3.7.1, a maintenance release version
that includes bug fixes and enhancements to some of the existing
features.
The most important feature introduced in this release is
Automatic Incremental Backup. The new argument syntax for
the --incremental-base option is introduced which makes it
simpler to perform automatic incremental backups. When the
options --incremental &
--incremental-base=history:last_backup are combined, the
mysqlbackup command uses the metadata in the
mysql.backup_history table to determine the LSN to use as the
lower limit of the incremental backup. You no longer need to keep
track of the actual LSN (as in the option --start-lsn=LSN) or
even the location of the previous backup (as in the option …
The latest release of MySQL Enterprise Backup (MEB 3.7.0) introduces a new method for performing incremental hot backups - the redo-log-only incremental backup. This new method of incremental backups allows for highly compact and fast incremental backups and MEB users now have the choice between data-file based incremental backups and the redo-log-only incremental backups.
In data-file based incremental backups (performed using the '--incremental' option) MEB scans all InnoDB datafiles but copies to the backup only modified pages. The main benefit of this is …

I see so many posts on what happened to company X, product Y and
dream Z that I couldn't resist the temptation to summarize this
great year for MySQL. At the end of 2010, Oracle did an
announcement we were all waiting for: MySQL 5.5 is GA! Another year has passed
since then and it's time to reflect on what has been done.
I know this is a long post. I tried to rewrite it at least 10
times to make it shorter, but I couldn't condense the list.
Hence, I wrote a summary in the beginning for those who don't
want to read it all.
I believe that 2011 was an exceptional year for MySQL and I
really enjoy being part of this team. I wish all of us a lot of
success and fun in the years to come!
Summary:
Oracle released many …
There has been no shortage of reaction to HP’s move to make the Linux-based WebOS open source software. Below, I offer some of my thoughts on the meaning for the different players affected.
*What’s it mean for WebOS?
Moving WebOS to open source was best option for HP. It retains
some value in the software depending on its involvement. It is
also the best fate for the code, rather then being sold or
simmered to its IP and patent value or even used as another
weapon in the ongoing mobile software patent wars. Still, the
move comes amid huge developer and consumer uncertainty for
WebOS. Nevertheless, at least WebOS was already in the market
with a compelling products, the Palm the Pre, in the modern
smartphone market. WebOS will hopefully have a faster path to
open source than Symbian since the former is based on Linux. I
still think the greatest opportunity for WebOS may be in serving
as an …
I am happy to announce that MySQL 5.5.18 is now available via Debian native packaging. We have gotten many requests for this and our build and release teams have pulled together to ensure that our DEB packages are delivered with the highest quality.
You can download MySQL 5.5.18 Debian 5 and 6 packages from the
MySQL Community Download page or from the My
Oracle Support portal.
As always, thanks for your continued support of MySQL!
