Come present at MySQL Connect

Апрель 26th, 2012

MySQL Connect will be held this September before Oracle Open World and time is running out for you to submit your presentation. There are tracks on Application Development, Architecture and Design, Cloud Computing, Database Administration, High Availability, and Performance & Scaling.

You’ll need between 15-40 slides for an hour presentation (sixty minute session, leave ten or so minutes for Q&A). The submission software lets you stop and save before submission, just in case you need to do some research while create your submission. And once you submit, you can go back and edit so that you can include the latest and greatest information. But May 6th is the last day submissions will be accepted.

Good luck and I hope to see you in San Fransisco next September.

MySQL at Collaborate 12 — Day 3

Апрель 26th, 2012

Collaborate 12 is in Vegas and Collaborate 13 will be in Denver. Mark you calendars now!

The last MySQL session for this year’s Collaborate is over. There is another day of sessions to go but they will go on without MySQL-centric topics. The majority of those the MySQL Community Team have talked to are Oracle professionals looking to expand their support for existing MySQL instances in their organizations or those looking to move some aspect of their data over to MySQL. Many use Collaborate for obtaining technical information as they feel Oracle Open World is too frenzied to get niyty gritty details. Attendance at MySQL sessions were much larger than last year and demo pod booth action was heavy with those seeking specific answers to their questions. And they were seeking details on the NoSQL/SQL InnoDB/NDB interface, operational best practices, and MySQL cluster.

In 2013, Collaborate will be in Denver with a MySQL hungry audience. Hopefully you will be there next year!

Collaborate — Day 1

Апрель 24th, 2012

The MySQL sessions at Collaborate started strong after an amazing keynote by former astronaut Mark Kelly about working to become a naval aviator, astronaut, and helping his wife — Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — after an assassination attempt on her life last year.

A rare moment when the Oracle demo pods where not wall to wall people.

First up was Set up MySQL in Five Minutes by Bob Burgess of Radian6. Most of the attendees to these sessions seem to be long time Oracle DBAs looking to add more MySQL skills or long time Oracle AND MySQL DBAs. Bob then had a second session and covered Shell Scripting for MySQL Administration where most of the crowd of twenty had already had lots of shell programming experience.

BYU’s Dr. Mike McLaughin provided an excellent hour on Portable SQL between Oracle and MySQL that was filled with observations of both products. He also stressed features of each that were best avoided for portability.

Then Lee Stigile presented MySQL High Availability Solutions and Case Studies. Lee compared using replication, DRBD, and MySQL Cluster while detailing where each shines best operationally.

Administering MySQL for Oracle DBAs drew an audience of over thirty for Nelson Calero from the Uruguayan Oracle User Group. Nelson had been using Oracle for a decade and MySQL for five years and gave the audience some solid tips on MySQL mastery.

Then it was booth duty time for the MySQL Community Team and for two hours we answered questions about MySQL and it seemed like all six thousand plus attendees were in the Oracle booth at one time.

Day two will feature Challenges of Big Databases with MySQL, part two of Set up MySQL in Five Minutes, MySQL for Oracle or How to Speak MySQL for Beginners, Security Boot Camp: Security Around MySQL, and a sure to be controversial Demystifying MySQL for Oracle DBA and Developers wherin George Trujillo will make the case that all new MySQL databases should be virtualized.

MySQL Community Team in Vegas April 22nd – 26th

Апрель 19th, 2012

Collaborate is in Las Vegas next and the MySQL Community Team will be there promoting MySQL. Keith Larson and I are presenting two sessions on MySQL for Oracle DBAs or How to Speak MySQL for Beginners. More and more Oracle DBAs are discovering MySQL among their corporate infrastructure and need a little guidance to walk them through some of the differences between Oracle 11g and MySQL. Several years ago, the IOUG said 70% of their members use MySQL and it should be much higher by now. Please drop by the demo between sessions!
