As this is not syndicated in Planet MySQL I encourage you to read the full article . https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/microsofts-position-on-mysql-2011-01-31/ Mon, 31 Jan 2011 19:23:07 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/microsofts-position-on-mysql-2011-01-31/ While Oracle provides no official information they are planning on improving MySQL and using as a product to compete with Microsoft SQL Server, it is rather obvious from what little information you can glean from public announcements this is a clear business goal. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/otn-mysql-conference-slides-2010-11-03/ Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:28:21 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/otn-mysql-conference-slides-2010-11-03/ 2010 has been the first year I have re-presented any of my developed MySQL presentations. Historically I have always created new presentations, however Paul Vallee gave me some valuable advice at UC 2010. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/otn-interview-about-mysql-2010-09-22/ Wed, 22 Sep 2010 19:38:56 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/otn-interview-about-mysql-2010-09-22/ I was interviewed by Justin Kestelyn the OTN Senior Director about MySQL at Oracle Open World this week. Some highlights of the questions asked: 0:55 Since the close of acquisition has there been any change in direction? https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/installing-mysql-on-oracle-enterprise-linux-2010-07-11/ Sun, 11 Jul 2010 17:27:48 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/installing-mysql-on-oracle-enterprise-linux-2010-07-11/ One of the significant benefits of MySQL is it’s ease of use. Generally already installed on most Linux systems, MySQL can be installed by a single command if not yet present. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/oracle-resources-for-the-mysql-community-2010-06-08/ Tue, 08 Jun 2010 14:15:22 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/oracle-resources-for-the-mysql-community-2010-06-08/ While I have spent a lot of time recently helping the MySQL community interact with and integrate with various Oracle User Groups including ODTUG, IOUG, NoCOUG, NYOUG, DAOG I thought I’d share some resources for the MySQL Community that wanted to know more about Oracle. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-mysql-community-impacting-the-oracle-community-2010-05-03/ Mon, 03 May 2010 19:28:45 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-mysql-community-impacting-the-oracle-community-2010-05-03/ I’m happy to announce that the MySQL community has been given the opportunity to speak at the upcoming Oracle Developer Tools User Group (ODTUG) Kaleidoscope conference in Washington DC. We will be releasing more details this week of the MySQL presentations and topics and we are finalizing details of possible options to include the local MySQL community during the event. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/mysql-conference-presentation-2010-04-19/ Mon, 19 Apr 2010 16:11:14 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/mysql-conference-presentation-2010-04-19/ I have uploaded my three presentations from the 2010 MySQL Users Conference in Santa Clara, California which was my 5th consecutive year appearing as a speaker. IGNITION – MySQLCamp for Oracle DBA – Volume I LIFTOFF – MySQLCamp for Oracle DBA – Volume 2 10x Performance Improvements – A Case Study A full history of my MySQL presentations can be found on the Presenting page. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-per-session-buffers-2010-03-08/ Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:24:25 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-per-session-buffers-2010-03-08/ MySQL has a number of global buffers, i.e. your SGA. There are also a number of per session/thread buffers that combined with other memory usage constitutes an unbounded PGA. One of the most common errors in mis-configured MySQL environments is the setting of the 4 primary per session buffers thinking they are global buffers. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-data-integrity-2010-03-06/ Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:11:09 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-data-integrity-2010-03-06/ MySQL has the same level of data integrity for numbers and strings as Oracle; when MySQL is correctly configured. By default (a reason I wish I knew why it is still the default), MySQL performs silent conversions on boundary conditions of data that will result in your data not always being what is specified. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-transactions-2010-03-04/ Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:01:50 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-transactions-2010-03-04/ MySQL by default is a NON transactional database. For the hobbyist (See The Hobbyist and the Professional ), startup entrepreneur and website developer this may not appear foreign, however to the seasoned Oracle DBA who has only used Oracle the concept is very foreign. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-common-terminology-2010-03-03/ Wed, 03 Mar 2010 15:36:04 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-common-terminology-2010-03-03/ In Oracle the default transaction isolation is READ_COMMITTED. In MySQL the default is REPEATABLE_READ. Because MySQL also has READ_COMMITTED I have seen in more then one production MySQL environment a transaction isolation of READ_COMMITTED. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-session-scope-2010-03-02/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 20:37:05 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-session-scope-2010-03-02/ MySQL system variables and status variables have two scopes. These are GLOBAL and SESSION which are self explanatory. This is important to realize when altering system variables dynamically. The following example does not produce the expected results. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-series-mysql-for-the-oracle-dba-2010-03-02/ Tue, 02 Mar 2010 18:10:48 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/dont-assume-series-mysql-for-the-oracle-dba-2010-03-02/ As part of my MySQLCamp for the Oracle DBA series of talks to help the Oracle DBA understand, use and appreciate MySQL I have also developed a series of short interesting posts I have termed “Don’t Assume”. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/edward-screven-oracle-answer-future-of-mysql-2010-02-24/ Wed, 24 Feb 2010 19:17:45 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/edward-screven-oracle-answer-future-of-mysql-2010-02-24/ For those of you on the O’Reilly MySQL conference list you will no doubt see this email, but for readers here is the important bits. _ Oracle Executive Will Speak at O’Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-blue-pill-or-the-red-pill-2010-02-14/ Sun, 14 Feb 2010 21:48:36 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-blue-pill-or-the-red-pill-2010-02-14/ At the recent FOSDEM 2010 event, I presented in my keynote Dolphins, now and beyond a option which I termed the “Blue Pill” or the “Red Pill”. The following slide produced noticed interest in a packed room, and subsequent conversation. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/what-do-mysql-staff-think-of-the-acquisition-2009-12-21/ Mon, 21 Dec 2009 16:51:02 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/what-do-mysql-staff-think-of-the-acquisition-2009-12-21/ It finally dawned on me while reflecting on the year past this Sunday that the missing voice since the announcement of the Oracle acquisition of Sun Microsystems (and therefore MySQL) has been the MySQL employees. https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-oracle-eu-statement-whats-missing-2009-12-15/ Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:43:02 +0000 https://ronaldbradford.com/blog/the-oracle-eu-statement-whats-missing-2009-12-15/ Many providers embedd MySQL with their commercial products including Adobe, Macfee, Nokia, Symantec and ScienceLogic just to name a few. In addition most commercial third party storage engines have for years been forced to provided very customized versions of MySQL due to limitations in the storage engine API.
