Are you tired of manually generating test data for your MySQL tables? If you’re looking for random data generator, look no further! Introducing the MySQL Random Data Generator, a powerful…

Last week we concluded our first Oracle Technology Network Sys Admin Day in Sacramento (CA). Well, it was actually the second Sys Admin Day, but the first one that had two parallel tracks of sessions about both Oracle Linux and Oracle Solaris.
I helped preparing for the event by creating the Linux lab handbook as well as the VirtualBox appliance of Oracle Linux 6.1 that was used for the exercises. Unfortunately I could not be there in person, but it would have been pointless for me to go on an intercontinental flight just for one day.
From the feedback we've received so far, the attendees really enjoyed the event and were positively surprised about the depth and quality of the practical hands-on lab sessions.
If you've missed the first one and happen to live …
[Read more]Here's an interview with Nicolas Pujol who has written an excellent new book called "The Mind Share Market." Nicolas and I were colleagues at MySQL for several years and we often discussed the role of our free open source product as a way to gain market share in the commercial sector. In MySQL's case, our goal was to be the #1 choice for web developers worldwide both in the free and the commercial market. Over the years, the notion of having a free product has transcended Open Source and now has many more applications in other markets. It can be quite …

ScaleDB is proud to announce the introduction of a database that
takes data storage to a new level, and a new altitude. ScaleDB’s
patent pending “molecular-flipping technology” enables low energy
molecular flipping that changes selected water molecules from H20
to HOH, representing positive and negative states that mimic the
storage mechanism used on hard drive disks.
“Because we act at the molecular level, we achieve massive
storage density with minimal energy consumption, which is
critical in today’s data centers, where energy consumption is the
primary cost,” said Mike Hogan, ScaleDB CEO. “A single thimble of
water vapor provides the same storage capacity as a high-end
SAN.”
The technology does have one small challenge: persistence. Clouds
are not known for their persistence. ScaleDB relies on the
Cumulus formation, since it is far beefier than some of those
wimpy cirrus clouds. However, when deployed …

engage with open source. Roberto Galoppini quickly followed up
with some feedback, as did Tarus …
