Have you ever wondered what was in those .frm files littered
throughout your data directory? Better still, have you
encountered a situation where your data is either missing (was
deleted) or damaged and all you have is the .frm files but don't
know the structure of the table? Well, wonder no more!
The MySQL Utilities Team is pleased to announce the newest
utility - the .frm reader (mysqlfrm). This utility is designed to
read .frm files and produce a facsimile of the CREATE statement
for the table or view.
That's Impossible! How Can That Work?
It works by making a copy of the .frm file(s) and launching a
new, read-only instance of your existing server. The server need
not be running but you are required to provide an open port for
the new instance with the --port option.
The utility will launch the cloned server without reading your
configuration file (--no-defaults). The utility also makes some …

The MySQL Utilities Team is pleased to announce a major
advancement of MySQL Utilities. It is now available as a separate
download!
That's right. If you want to use MySQL Utilities without
installing MySQL Workbench, you can do that now.
The Utilities release-1.3.0 has been built for Windows Installer,
RPM archive, and .tar/.zip. We have also made downloads for
source only if you want to use Utilities to develop your own
utilities or install the product in custom location. We plan to
add other repositories in the future.
Is that it? Well, not quite. We have also included a new utility
- the .frm Reader. See the blog, "New Utility: .frm Reader" for
more information.
If you'd like to try out the new download, visit the MySQL
Workbench download page:

MySQL 5.6 through the eyes of a custom storage engine MySQL plugin
MySQL is famous for its pluggable storage engine architecture which allows a DBA or an application developer to choose the right engine for the task. An application uses MySQL API and is isolated from all of the low-level implementation details at the storage level. As an example, the Cloud Storage Engine (ClouSE) enables existing MySQL applications to use cloud storage such as Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage to store its data. The application doesn’t need to be changed or even redeployed: with ClouSE, remote cloud storage will look like a better (ultra-scalable, durable, always-on) alternative to the local storage.
As you may already know, ClouSE now supports MySQL 5.6 release …
