Isn’t that that time of the year again?

Yes, it is — it’s time for our annual Oracle Bloggers Meetup and of course Oracle is piggybacking OpenWorld with the meetup again! ;)

What: Oracle Bloggers Meetup 2011

When: Wed, 5-Oct-2011, 5:00pm

Where: Main Dining Room, Jillian’s Billiards @ Metreon, 101 Fourth Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

See the “Main Dining Room” on the floor plan below (we will actually use half of it – we are too big now to fit into a smaller “Lower Dining Room”) and ask where is the “Oracle Bloggers Meetup” booked under Pythian / Oracle name. These are the keywords to find us easily.

We have selected Wednesday again before the big event at Treasure Island. It seems to be the ideal timing because most of attendees don’t plan anything else on that day while the rest of the evenings are filled with customer meetings, sponsored events and etc. Easy choice now!

Compared to last year, we are shifting it 30 minutes earlier because the Treasure Island event is starting 30 minutes earlier. I don’t think it will be a problem — most of the participants showed up before 5:30pm last year – you will have had enough of OpenWorld by 5pm this time.

Traditionally, Oracle Technology Network joins Pythian sponsoring the venue and drinks.

As usual, vintage t-shirts from previous meetups will make you look cool — feel free to wear them. This year’s activity is still being planned — we have lots of cool ideas and couldn’t decide which one is the coolest but if you have something interesting in mind — let me know privately {last_name} at pythian.com.

For those of you who don’t know the history… The Bloggers Meetups during the Oracle Open World were started by Mark Rittman and continued by Eddie Awad and then I picked up the flag in 2009. The meetups have been great success so let’s keep them this way! To give you an idea, here are the photos from the OOW08 Bloggers Meetup (courtesy of Eddie Awad) and last year’s meetup blog post update from myself.

While the initial meetings was mostly around Oracle database folks, the latest meetups are joined buy guys and gals from lots of Oracle technologies – Oracle database, MySQL, Applications, Sun technologies, Java and more. All bloggers are welcome.

See the results of last year’s meetup here and here follow all the links.

If you are planning to attend, please comment here with the phrase “COUNT ME IN”. This will help us make sure we have the attendance numbers right. Make sure you provide your blog URL with your comment — it’s a Bloggers Meetup in the end! Make sure you comment here if you are attending so that we have enough room, food and (most important) drinks. Last year we barely fit. Again, we are reserving a bigger room but we want to make sure we can fit everyone!

Of course, do not under any circumstances forget to blog and tweet about this year’s bloggers meetup.

Last, but not least, you should know that the real organizer of the event and the one doing all the heavy-lifting here is Vanessa Simmons – give her a pat on the back when you see her.










Looking forward to seeing even more of you again this year!

Welcome to Log Buffer. The weekly roundup of posts, and news of what’s happening in the database world.

At Pythian, we’re pretty much recovered from a hectic Oracle OpenWorld 2010, and I’m no longer an OOW virgin. What an experience! I had the pleasure of meeting many of you Log Buffer readers and contributors at the Annual Blogger’s Meetup at Jillian’s. Great to put faces to names. And I now officially feel like “Vanessa from Log Buffer”, as many of your t-shirts will show.

Many thanks to Marc Fielding for providing the hot items for this week’s post, in Log Buffer #203. Enjoy.

The hubdub from OOW10 continues:

Opinions on the newly announced Exalogic are starting to form. Alex Williams on Read Write Cloud points out why Exalogic is not an elastic cloud. David Dorf provides his perspective for Exalogic’s application to the retail industry as a means to simplifying infrastructure, in conjunction with Exadata. Lorraine Lawson tries to clear up the confusion around “what exactly is Exalogic”.

Floyd Teter, on ORCLville provides his thoughts on the show, and Ray Wang provides good final wrapup notes, OOW from an insider’s perspective.

Congratulations to Asif Momen of The Momen Blog, who won the t-shirt signature contest. The Apple TV meetup contest winners will be announced on Monday, and listed in next Friday’s Log Buffer.

A litigous Oracle is very different from the old Sun. Aside from the well-publicized Google Android lawsuits this week Oracle is suing Micron, Samsung and other-chip makers for pricing fixing.

Katherine Noyes reports on the ‘Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel’.

Greg Rhan, from Structured Data gives a good overview of the newly released Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-2 & X2-8 for those who missed it. Referenced is Alex Gorbachev’s tidy table of hardware components, comparing Exadata V2, X2-2 & X2-8.

Moving away from Oracle, in the MySQL world:

Jayant Kumar experiments with MySQL/Postgres speed tests in a part 1 and part 2 post series.

MySQL cluster benchmarks appear on Johan Andersson’s Cluster and HA blog.

Andrew Hutchings, LinuxJedi, writes a drizzle migration article on his new blog, since joining Rackspace as a Drizzle developer.

Guiseppe Maxia, the Data Charmer, highlights a funny recipe to convert an IP address into an integer in order to use it as a server-ID, and then offers a better solution.

In SQL Server news, SP2 is out, promising tighter integration with Sharepoint.

Pinal Dave tells how to get query running session on SQLauthority.com.

Microsoft MVP Sean McCowan shows DBAs how to use PowerShell to Administer SQL Server 2008, a good thing to know, in his, and the “Scripting Guy’s” opinion. Vijay Patel talks about partitioning.

Robert Catteral focuses on catalogue statistics as a way to improve query performance in a DB2 for z/OS environment.

Now that I know many of you, I’ll be chasing you down personally to host an edition of Log Buffer. Seriously, to keep the tradition alive, we need more than the voice of “Vanessa Log Buffer”. Please connect to the Log Buffer coordinator (me), if you’re interested.

Have a great weekend.

With the MySQL Sunday event at Oracle Open World rapidly approaching, and registrations to the event 10x higher than originally forecast, I thought it would be a good time to highlight sessions that are specifically addressing MySQL high availability, including MySQL Cluster .

You can see details and logistics of all of the sessions here

MySQL Cluster
Andrew Morgan and I will be presenting the latest enhancements in the world of MySQL Cluster and cluster management at our session at 15.30 in Golden Gate C3 of the Marriott Hotel.

If you are staying around for Oracle Open World itself, then drop by our stand at Moscone West W-071 where we'll give you a live demonstration of MySQL Cluster maintaining continuous operation as we upgrade, reconfigure and scale the cluster, all on-line.

MySQL Replication
Before the MySQL Cluster session - at 13.05 (precisely...) in Golden Gate C3, Dr Lars Thalmann, Development Manager, MySQL Replication & Backup - will be presenting the latest replication enhancements  delivered with the MySQL 5.5 release, specifically covering:
- replication heartbeating
- semi-synchronous replication
- fsync tuning
- relay log corruption recovery

There is also a very interesting session planned for 14.45 where Harrison Fisk from Facebook will be presenting Advanced MySQL Replication Techniques

Great, But I'm not Going....
Of course, if you are not able to attend the MySQL Sunday event, we will be presenting many of these subjects in forthcoming live webinars, starting with Lars' session on MySQL replication enhancements, scheduled for October 12th at 0900 pacific time / 17.00 UK .  Look out for more details on how to register for that session in the next week.

If you want to learn more about MySQL Cluster, you can check-out our complimentary whitepapers:
- MySQL Cluster for web applications
- MySQL Cluster for telecoms applications

If you are attending MySQL Sunday, I hope to meet you there in person.  If not, at one of our forthcoming webinars

Welcome to Log Buffer, the weekly roundup of database industry news.

For your reading pleasure this week we have Log Buffer #196:

Charles Hooper blogs about an in-depth investigation on what can cause Oracle to ignore a hint.

Doug Burns reminds his readers that there are only two weeks left to submit papers for UKOUG. The deadline is Aug. 2.

A while back Greg Rahn at Structured Data blog thought that the best way to get results out of Exadata is by changing your application to get the most out of Exadata. He was very happy to see that Pythian thinks the same. On the subject of Exadata and data warehousing, Greg posts this week on the core performance fundamentals of Oracle Data Warehousing – set processing vs row processing.

Jonathan Lewis links to instructions and explanations on how to switch to a different UNDO tablespace. It is trickier than it sounds and Jonathan provided additional traps to watch out for.

Jonathan also continues his fragmentation series with an explanation of table fragmentation and its causes.

Alex Fatkulin explains about ASM mirroring and disk partnership and why you may have less redundancy than you thought.

On the same subject, Jeremy Schneider of Ardent Performance blog explains about hot disks, raid and what it means for ASM mirroring.

Back to blogging after a recent trip to TechInsights 2010, Edwin Sarmiento answers questions on what needs to be done as part of the installation of a SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster on Windows Server 2008 R2. A number of things related to Windows Clustering need to be considered.

Willie Favero introduces the “IBM zEnterprise System”, on his blog Getting the Most out of DB2 for z/OS and System z.

On Join-fu! the Art of SQL blog, Jay Pipes talks about getting started developing Nova on Linux, as he’s involved in a new OpenStack project.

Peter Zaitsev, on MySQL Performance Blog, posts about estimating replication capacity so that replication load can be dealt with before slave is unable to catch up.

Paul Randal publishes his survey results around the purchase and use of SSIDs.

And, if you happen to be attending Oracle OpenWorld, register before July 30 to take advantage of early bird rates.
