Hints & Tips

Article: Why Move to MySQL from Microsoft SQL Server?
Robin Schumacher

Before we get started, let me say that I always liked being a SQL
Server DBA. My database experience started with DB2, then Teradata,
followed by Oracle, and then SQL Server (and then a little bit of
Sybase after that, followed by MySQL).

White Paper: Guide to Deploying Carrier Grade Services Using Open
Source Technologies

Open source technologies and commodity, carrier-grade hardware can
combine to create a highly available, scalable and responsive
infrastructure to deploy next-generation communications services. This
paper examines a solution stack based on integrating Sun GlassFish
Communications Server, MySQL Cluster Carrier Grade Edition database,
the OpenSolaris operating system, Sun Netra ATCA blades and Sun open
storage products into a carrier-grade solution for converged services
- without the traditionally high carrier-grade price.

Building an Open Source, Carrier Grade Platform for Data Management
with MySQL Cluster 7

Whether Service Providers are looking to deploy new Web/Telco 2.0
applications to mobile internet users or consolidating subscriber data
within the network to support greater service personalization and
targeted advertising, the database plays a key enabling role. In this
paper we explore how an open source carrier grade platform
architecture is able to cost-effectively meet the communication
industry's high availability, scalability and real-time performance
requirements.

White Paper: Virtualization for MySQL on VMware(R) - Best Practices
and Performance Guide

In a nutshell, performance variance is minimal on a properly
configured system, as shown in tests on a typical small to medium
business level server with MySQL running in a VMware virtualized
environment. This document explains how we reached this conclusion by
describing the setup, configuration, and results from our testing.

PlanetMySQL Blog: Hibernate Wars - The Query Cache Strikes Back
Darren L. Oldag

Not so long ago, in a galaxy not very far away... a middle-aged
programmer battled to free memory from the dark side of the hibernate
query cache. He was successful, or so it seemed. For the query cache
memory problems had risen from the ashes - stronger and more bloated

PlanetMySQL Blog: MySQL Sandbox 3.0 Release Candidate
Giuseppe Maxia

MySQL Sandbox is now in Release Candidate status. If no bugs are
reported on the latest version (2.0.99f), I will repackage it as 3.0.
In addition to the list of features previously announced, I managed to
implement another feature that has been in the wish list for a long
time, i.e. creating a sandbox from existing binaries, such as the ones
installed by a .rpm or .deb package.

PlanetMySQL Blog: Are Stored Procedures available with MySQL Cluster?
Andrew Morgan

The answer is yes - kind of.

Stored procedures are implemented in a MySQL Server and can be used
regardless of the storage engine being used for a specific table. One
inference from this is that they won't work when accessing the Cluster
database directly through the NDB API.

Spotlight: MySQL Community Server 5.4

Article: A Quick Look at MySQL 5.4
Robin Schumacher

Although MySQL 5.1 was released in December of 2008, Sun Microsystems
isn't wasting any time moving forward with a number of new and
exciting enhancements for its next release, MySQL 5.4. The first item
of note is that the MySQL Server will be returning to a release
early/often paradigm. So, instead of waiting on a full set of
previously agreed upon features to be ready, the goal will now be to
adhere to time-controlled releases that include all features that are
ready by an agreed-upon beta date, with any features not fully 'baked'
simply rolling to the next release.

PlanetMySQL BlogPost: MySQL 5.4 performance with logging
Giuseppe Maxia

About a month ago, I published the results of MySQL 5.x performance
with logging. The results covered several versions, from 5.0.45 to
5.1.33. Among the conclusions of the post was the consideration that
MySQL 5.0.x is faster than MySQL 5.1 in read only operations. I hinted
that better results may come for MySQL 5.1. When I wrote that post I
had, in fact, an ace up my sleeve, because I had already benchmarked
the performance of MySQL 5.4, using the same criteria shown in my
previous post.

PlanetMySQL BlogPost: Looking at MySQL 5.4 - IO bound benchmarks
Vadim Tkachenko

With a lot of talks around 5.4 I decided to check how it works in our
benchmarks. For first shoot I took tpcc-like IO-bound benchmark (100W,
~10GB of data, 3GB buffer_pool) and tested it on our Dell PowerEdge
R900 box (16 cores, 32GB of RAM, RAID 10 on 8 SAS 2.5" 15K RPM disks).
For comparison I took XtraDB-release5 and 5.0.77-highperf percona
release.
