MySQL Indexing: Best Practices Webinar

I’m hosting MySQL Indexes: Best Practices Webinar next week, Wednesday August 15. In which I will talk about how MySQL indexes are structured and how they can be used, as well as go over the best practices in selecting correct indexes for your database workloads.

Indexing looks like a very basic topic, but it is rather deep one. Most people would think they know how to index their database properly but this just applies to basics, and more often than not a lot of opportunities for optimizations are left on the table. You can often get 3x better performance by having your database well indexed, compared to “basically” indexed.

In addition to talking about indexes themselves I will also talk about some query tricks you can use to get MySQL to use indexes when it could not before. This is another tool every MySQL DBA should have in his toolbox.
