I never do memes. Especially not publicly. But, hell, I was tagged by Brian Moon and he's cool enough to warrant some effort. Lots of folks in the MySQL / etc communities were bit by this one. So I'll give it a (late) go :)
Enter useless factoids!
1. My real name isn't dormando! Okay hah hah maybe obviously. While I'm not nearly as hardcore as chromatic or MenTaLguY I am one of those weird people who uses a nickname too much. Sorry folks, it doesn't mean anything, I made it up when I was 8.
2. I grew up in Massachusetts, worked in New York City for a few years, and now reside in California. I find the lack of seasons refreshing, but a little maddening. For a while I was traveling cross-country every few months. Now I [Read more...]

Many systems are already in production when we get asked to take a look or, interestingly, a few weeks before deployment. The latter is not optimal, but it's still better than not contacting us until something goes wrong. At Open Query we like to focus on problem prevention and skills transfer. This saves so many hassles and thus over time saves money for the client = win.
The reasons for asking for external input late(r) are diverse, and generally not even technical or financial. But we all know the saying "prevention is better than a cure" and that has benefits for a company's bottom line; potentially even its future. Particularly in the current economic climate, such advantages are gold.
Another other important aspect is scope. MySQL operates in a larger architecture; we can look at the server and improve the configuration there, but if queries are just wrong, they need [Read more...]

The problem with broken group commit was discusses many times, bug report https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13669 was reported 3.5 years ago and still not fixed in MySQL 5.0 / 5.1 (and most likely will not be in MySQL 5.1). Although the rough truth is this bug is very hard (if possible) to fix properly. In short words if you enable replication (log-bin) on server without BBU (battery backup unit) your InnoDB write performance in concurrent load drops down significantly.
We wrote also about it before, see https://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/05/03/group-commit-and-real-fsync/ and

In just over 2 weeks I’ll be the invited speaker in Washington DC to Best practices for migrating applications to MySQL. This workshop is being held in conjunction with Carahsoft and Sun/MySQL and aims to provide to the Federal sector valuable information for the continued usage and uptake of Open Source and specifically MySQL.
As part of my preparation I’m happy to hear from any organizations that have successfully migrated from Oracle/SQL Server/Informix/Sybase etc to MySQL and would like to be cited.
While I have been involved in the process I am also happy to hear of reasons why a migration failed, was aborted or postponed. This is all valuable information in determining what are the most ideal applications.

I just wanted to send out a quick update. I have not been able to blog as much as I would like in the last seven or eight months. There is a good reason. Sheeri Cabral and I have been writing a book to be released by Wiley publishing in May of this year. And, finally, we are pretty much done with it. Yeah!!
So, I will have some more time to blog. A lot of changes coming down the road so stay tuned!
Facebook app creation: A look at the MySQL Quiz. part I

The Facebook juggernaut is an interesting environment for application developers. It is well documented for the most part and supports all the popular development languages. So I created a quick app to help promote MySQL certification and gave it the name MySQLQuiz.
The first step in app development is at the bottom of every Facebook page. That is where you will find the 'Developers' link. The documentation here is very good and you will be be able to quickly obtain the application's API Key and the applications 'secret'. Each app is going to have unique values for these.
The examples I will give are in PHP and using the supplied PHP library. I was able to get all this running on a test server.
The bare bones was

Last week we had a team meeting, where we could discuss and plan various issues and ideas for current and upcoming versions of our project.
But finally it’s time to publish new material to show what we were up to in the past weeks. We have our first dual-platform-release of the MySQL Workbench 5.1.7 alpha version.
Please note, that in terms of UI linux- and OSX- version aren’t yet on the same level of completeness. While we are nearly done having all features onboard for the linux-build, we still have some more checkmarks to fill on the osx checklist - but we are catching up. Nevertheless it’s the same codebase - especially the backend-code is the same for all platforms.
Some of you might be missing a release - 5.1.6 for Linux. No, you didn’t miss an announcement: For the purpose of unifying the releases for Linux and mac we simply didn’t publish 5.1.6 last
