And, a quick reminder that if you’re either attending Oracle OpenWorld or in the bay area next Tuesday, we hope to see you at the MySQL Community Reception!

Wei-Chen Chiu interviews InnoDB team member Inaam Rana who comes back on the new InnoDB features and improvements delivered in MySQL 5.5 and in the first development milestone release of MySQL 5.6. Inaam also talks to us about the InnoDB features available in labs.mysql.com.

Enjoy!

During the past year, we’ve put a lot of emphasis at Oracle on sharing information with the MySQL Community. Actions included PR and communications not only about GA products but also about development milestone releases and features available in labs.mysql.com, as well as more technical articles, more blogs, participation to conferences…etc. We very much value the feedback and discussions such communications generate.

We therefore plan to keep communicating this way, and do even more. This is why we’re now very pleased to announce a new Oracle podcast series entitled “Meet the MySQL Experts”! We plan to, once a month, interview an Oracle MySQL Engineer who will share information about his/her domain expertise, and what he/she is currently working on.

For the first edition, it was my pleasure to interview Mats Kindahl about MySQL Replication.

We hope you enjoy the new podcast series, which we think will be a good complement to the great “OurSQL” podcast that Sheeri and Sarah are running.

Feedback welcome, including about topics that you would like us to cover in subsequent editions.
