PrimeBase Technologies a MySQL Platinum Level Partner
As per the Platinum Partners List PrimeBase Technologies has made a key achievement. I think this is a great list to make for the company. There are only 18 Platinum partners, and PrimeBase Technologies are the third Storage Engine provider and the second first open source storage engine company.
What is your max_connections?
Kevin Murphy just posted Tip of the Day — max_connections and I thought it might be nice to know what people actually set this to so I’ve created a Survey “What’s your max_connections ” (totally anonymous).
Trying out Google App Engine
I got my registration for Google App Engine this morning after being Waitlisted previously . Between flying for about 15 hrs tomorrow and then the 2008 MySQL Conference & Expo where I’m presenting and running an Exhibitors booth, fat chance I’ll get to look into this much over the next week.
MySQL Community Photo Day Prizes
I forgot to mention in Support the MySQL Community Photo Day that PrimeBase Technologies is providing 3 prizes for the best photos uploaded. First Prize <td> $150 Amazon Gift Voucher </td> Second Prize <td> $100 Amazon Gift Voucher </td> Third Prize <td> $50 Amazon Gift Voucher </td> So, take your photo with other community supporters — they’ll also be wearing their open source t-shirts.
Where’s the News?
It’s been six weeks since the completion of the acquisition of MySQL by Sun Microsystems . In this time, on the MySQL News and Press Releases there has only been one (1) Press Release here .
The pursuit of a synchronous world
Well at least your MySQL database world. As Paul eluded to , PrimeBase Technologies has a project to provide synchronous replication for MySQL in a High Availability environment. It is more then an idea, there is a plan.
Support the MySQL Community Photo Day
Updated On good advice from Sheeri I made a few comments clearer. It has been proposed that the integral “MySQL Community Photo Day” be on Thursday April 17 2008, the final day of the MySQL Users Conference.
Replication++, Replication 2.0, Replication.Next
There has been some discussion recently regarding the death of MySQL Read Replication starting with Brian Aker and then Farhan , Arjen and Paul have all chimed in. Whatever you want to call it, the next generation of replication approach is clearly on the agenda of the industry leaders and pack followers.
The MySQL SandBox
This week I’d expected to hear good friend Giuseppe (CCO) Maxia speak about MySQL SandBox at the Hamburg MySQL April Meetup . This is product I’ve thought about using, wanted to use, but just never got to the point to using.
Storage Engines at the MySQL Conference
I’ll be following closely the progression of Storage Engines available in the MySQL Database server, well soon to be available when 5.1 gets to GA (hopefully by end of Q2 which is what we have been told).
Hamburg MySQL Meetup – Apr 2008
Tonight’s Hamburg MySQL Meetup was a packed room of 60-70 people at Sun in Hamburg. The most I’ve seen @ a MySQL Meetup across three cities, countries, continents and years (my first Oct 5, 2004).
A heartfelt apology
While I mentioned in Not Stuck , “thanks to those concerned”, perhaps I did not illustrate clearly that I was suitability moved by the genuine concern of close friends regarding my plight, and I did really appreciate the comments and initial feedback.
Unexpected SEO results
I had need to show the official MySQL business shirt to somebody, so I did a Google Search on “mysql conference photos” (without the quotes) as I know I’ve seen photos of staff at the conference online before.
