As you might have heard, at the MySQL Conference this earlier this week we announced our launch of Drizzle support services. We added Drizzle to the list of database servers that is covered under our MySQL support contracts. This includes MySQL, Percona Server, Amazon RDS, MariaDB, and the XtraBackup and Maatkit tools.
The slides for my talks at the O’Reilly MySQL Conference and Expo are posted.
Having the conference behind now, I’m reviewing some of my impressions and of sessions I attended.
To begin with, this conference was a big success for me, in many respects. The sessions were great (more on that later), but of course, meeting with new people and with familiar people, was the more important part.

The MySQL Conference is over. There have been many new developments, and the ones who have missed it will probably want to get a summary of the excitement, possibly from the people who have contributed to shaping the news. |
The first Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Developer Day MySQL
will be held in Santa Clara California on May 3rd. And if it is judged a success, we make take this show on the road*.
Today I have delivered my talk, openark-kit: MySQL utilities for everyday use, at the O’REILLY MySQL Conference 2011.
The slides are uploaded to the O’Reilly site, and I’m attaching them here as well. Feel free to download the PDF: openark-kit-mysqlconf11.pdf
I wish to thank all who attended my talk!
The ever increasing performance demands of web-based services has
generated significant interest in providing NoSQL access methods to
MySQL - enabling users to maintain all of the advantages of their
existing relational database infrastructure, while providing blazing
fast performance for simple queries, using an API to complement regular
SQL access to their data.
The announcements at the Oracle Collaborate and O'Reilly MySQL
conferences mark an exciting milestone in the development of the MySQL
Cluster database.
MySQL Cluster is already proven as a write-scalable, real-time
transactional database, combining 99.999% availability with the low TCO
of open source. With a distributed, multi-master architecture and no
single point of failure, MySQL Cluster scales horizontally on commodity
hardware to serve read and write intensive workloads.
Percona XtraBackup 1.6 is now available for download and is the current stable release version of XtraBackup.
First full day at the O'Reilly MySQL Conference after a great MySQL Community Dinner (Thanks to Sarah Novotny for her organization skills for getting 50 plus folks into Pedro's)
I will be talking on Open Source BI Reporting Tools in Ballroom A at 5:15. Very useful session for DBAs who need anything from a quick ad hoc report to a large multi-segment printer killer.
